Communication System
• Two basic modes of communications
– Broadcasting
• Single powerful transmitter and many receivers
• TV, Radio, etc.
– Point-to-point communication
• Link between a single transmitter and a receiver
• Telephone
7
Communication Resources
• Two primary resources
– Transmitted power
• Average power of transmitted signal
– Channel bandwidth
• Band of frequencies allocated for transmission
• System design objective
– Use two resources as efficiently as possible.
– Power limited vs. Band limited
8
Communication Channels
• Guided propagation vs. free propagation
– telephone channels, coaxial cables, optical fibers, etc.
– broadcast channels, mobile radio channels, satellite chann
els, etc.
• Random error vs. burst error
– Deep-space channels, satellite channels
– Radio channels, wire and cable, magnetic recording chann
el, etc.
• Discrete vs. continuous
– Binary symmetric channel (BSC), binary erasure channel
(BEC)
– Additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, Fading ch
annels (Rayleigh, Rician), etc.
9
Channel Capacity
• Shannon (1948)
– If you transmit information at a rate R < C, then the error-
free transmission is possible.
• Definition of channel capacity C
– Maximum rate at which information can be transmitted
across the channel without error.
• Goal of communication system design in power-limited
environment:
– achieve a target error rate of data transmission with as low
signal power as possible.
• Similar to achieving the capacity bound as close as possible
with less power.
10
Channel Capacity
• AWGN channel
C = W log2 (1 + SNR) bit/sec,
where W denotes the channel bandwidth and SNR denotes the
signal to noise ratio.
• BSC
C = 1 – H(ρ) ,
where ρ is the error probability of the channel and H(ρ ) is the e
ntropy with the parameter ρ.
• BEC
C = 1 – ε ,
where ε is the erasure probability.
11
Channel Capacity
• Channel capacity of AWGN channel
12
Modulation
• Modulation:
– Modifies the message signal into a form suitable for
transmission over the channel.
• Demodulation:
– Recreates the original message signal from a degraded
version of the transmitted signal after propagation through
the channel.
– Due to the presence of noise, the original message signal
cannot be recreated exactly.
– The degradation is influenced by the type of modulation
scheme.
13
Modulation
• Continuous wave (CW) modulation
– Carrier is a sinusoidal wave.
– Amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), p
hase modulation (PM)
• Pulse modulation
– Carrier is a periodic sequence of rectangular pulses.
– Pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) or amplitude-shift keyin
g (ASK), pulse-duration modulation (PDM), pulse-position
modulation (PPM)
• Other names: frequency shift keying (FSK), amplitude-sh
ift keying (ASK), on-off keying (OOK), phase-shift keying
(PSK), M-ary orthogonal keying, etc.
14
Modulation
• Another benefit: Multiplexing
– Combines several message signals for their simultaneous
transmission over the same channel.
• Frequency-division multiplexing (FDM)
– CW modulation is used.
– Assigns message signal distinct carrier frequency.
• Time-division multiplexing (TDM)
– Pulse modulation is used.
– Different time slots
• Code-division multiplexing (CDM)
– Each message is identified by a distinctive code.
– Message signals are permitted to overlap in both time and
frequency.
15
Error Control Coding
• Channel encoder produces a new sequence of symbols
called the channel codeword.
• Controlled redundancy exists in the construction of
channel codeword.
– Channel codeword is longer than source codeword.
• Benefits
– In principle:
• If you transmit information at a rate R < C, then the error-free
transmission is possible.
– In practice:
• Reduce the error rates
• Reduce the transmitted power requirements
16
Error Control Coding
• Classification
– Block codes
• Hamming, BCH, RS, Golay, Goppa, Algebraic geometric cod
es (AGC), LDPC codes
Tree codes
• Convolutional codes, turbo codes
– Linear codes
• Hamming, BCH, RS, Golay, Goppa, AGC, LDPC, turbo, etc.
Nonlinear codes
• Nordstrom-Robinson, Kerdock, Preparata, etc.
– Systematic codes vs. Nonsystematic codes

Error Control Coding

Digital Communication Problem
• Theoretical issues
– Justification of the receiver structure.
– Finding a random variable describing the noise.
– Determining the probability of decision of errors.
• Practical issues
– Choice of modulation scheme conserving bandwidth in a
cost-effective manner.
– Design of channel encoder/decoder to be close to the
channel capacity.
– Synchronization of the carrier frequencies in modulator
and demodulator.
