Basic Concepts of Communication---Mobile Communication

Mobile communication is the communication between mobile bodies or that between mobile body and fixed body. Mobile communication has some features compared with fixed communication:

Mobility, keep communicating in the mobile state. Complicated radio propagation conditions. Heavy noise and interference. Complicated system and network structure. Efficiency utilization of bandwidth and good performance of system are needed.

Basic Concepts of Communication---Multiple Access

Multiple Access: Simultaneous private use of a transmission medium by multiple, independent users.

Why Multiple Access? Increased capacity: serve more users Reduced capital requirements since fewer media can carry the traffic Decreased per-user expense Types of Transmission Medium: Twisted pair Coaxial cable Fiber optic cable Air interface (radio signals)

Transmission

Medium

Each pair of users enjoys a dedicated, private circuit through the transmission medium, unaware that the other users exist.

Basic Concepts of Communication---Multiple Access

FDMA-- Frequency Division Multiple Access

Each user on a different frequency A channel is a frequency

FDMA
Power

TDMA-- Time Division Multiple Access

Each user on a different window period in time (which is called time-slot) A channel is a specific time slot on a specific frequency

TDMA
Power

CDMA-- Code Division Multiple Access

A channel is a unique code pattern Each user uses the same frequency all the time, but mixed with different distinguishing code patterns

CDMA
Power

Basic Concepts of Communication---- Duplex

Why Duplex?

Separate Unlink and Downlink signals Make sure the transmission to each end can be fulfilled at the same time

TDD

DUDDDDDD

Time Division Duplex (TDD)

FDD
D DDDDDD

Uplink and Downlink share the same frequency

Frequency Division Duplex (FDD)

U Uplink Downlink Unused

Uplink and Downlink use respective frequencies to fulfill the transmission

Evolution of Mobile Communications

Mobile communications existed half a century ago, but it was in the 1980s that it was really developed.
The main goal of mobile communications is to realize communication among any objects at any time, and in any place.

Evolution of Mobile Communications

Public Lands Mobile Network (PLMN) has gone through 3 stages:

1. First Generation ----Analog Mobile Telephone System 2. Second Generation----Digital Mobile Communications System 3. Third Generation----IMT-2000

Why we use 3G?

Limited frequency resource:

Present frequency cannot satisfy the need of mobile communications development. The frequency efficiency of 2G is lower than that of 3G. Mobile data service will be the important application of the combination of mobile communication and Internet. The feature of 3G is the transmission capability of providing data service in high rate.

Need of mobile multi-media:
