US Digital Cellular (USDC) TDMA/FDD
Digital European Cordless Telephone (DECT) FDMA/TDD
US Narrowband Spread Spectrum (IS-95) CDMA/FDD
Cellular System
Frequency division multiple access FDMA
• one phone circuit per channel
• idle time causes wasting of resources
• simultaneously and continuously
transmitting
• usually implemented in narrowband systems
• for example: in AMPS is a FDMA
bandwidth of 30 kHz implemented
FDMA compared to TDMA
• fewer bits for synchronization
• fewer bits for framing
• higher cell site system costs
• higher costs for duplexer used in base
station and subscriber units
• FDMA requires RF filtering to minimize
adjacent channel interference
Nonlinear Effects in FDMA
• many channels - same antenna
• for maximum power efficiency operate near
saturation
• near saturation power amplifiers are
nonlinear
• nonlinearities causes signal spreading
• intermodulation frequencies
Nonlinear Effects in FDMA
• IM are undesired harmonics
• interference with other channels in the
FDMA system
• decreases user C/I - decreases performance
• interference outside the mobile radio band:
adjacent-channel interference
• RF filters needed - higher costs
Number of channels in a FDMA system
• N … number of channels
• Bt … total spectrum allocation
• Bguard … guard band
• Bc … channel bandwidth
N=

Example: Advanced Mobile Phone System

• analog cellular system
• 12.5 MHz per simplex band - Bt
• Bguard = 10 kHz ; Bc = 30 kHz

• cover areas with same frequency:
• TDMA or CDMA systems
• cover areas with same frequency:
• FDMA systems
Space Division Multiple Access
• primitive applications are
“Sectorized antennas”
• in future adaptive antennas
simultaneously steer energy in
the direction of many users at once
Reverse link problems
• general problem
• different propagation path from user to base
• dynamic control of transmitting power from
each user to the base station required
• limits by battery consumption of subscriber
units
• possible solution is a filter for each user
Solution by SDMA systems
• adaptive antennas promise to mitigate reverse
link problems
• limiting case of infinitesimal beamwidth
• limiting case of infinitely fast track ability
• thereby unique channel that is free from
interference
• all user communicate at same time using the
same channel
Disadvantage of SDMA

infinitely large antenna needed
• compromise needed

Radio Capacity m for n = 4
• m … number of radio channels per cell
• (C/I)min lower in digital systems compared to
analog systems
• lower (C/I)min imply more capacity
• exact values in real world conditions measured
m =
Bt
Bc * 2/3 * (C/I)min
Compare different Systems
• each digital wireless standard has different
(C/I)min
• to compare them an equivalent (C/I) needed
• keep total spectrum allocation Bt and
number of rario channels per cell m
constant to get (C/I)eq :
Compare different Systems

• The sign ‘ marks compared system parameters
C/I in digital cellular systems
• Relationship between Rc and Bc is always
linear (Rc/Rc’ = Bc/Bc’ )
• assume that level I is the same for two
different systems ( I’ = I ) :
Ec Bc’
Ec‘ Bc
= ( )³
Compare C/I between FDMA and TDMA
• Assume that multichannel FDMA system
occupies same spectrum as a TDMA system
• FDMA : C = Eb * Rb ; I = I0 * Bc
• TDMA : C’ = Eb * Rb’ ; I’ = I0 * Bc’
• Eb … Energy per bit
• I0 … interference power per Hertz
• Rb … channel bit rate
• Bc … channel bandwidth
Example
• A FDMA system has 3 channels , each with a
bandwidth of 10kHz and a transmission rate
of 10 kbps.
• A TDMA system has 3 time slots, a channel
bandwidth of 30kHz and a transmission rate
of 30 kbps.
• What’s the received carrier-to-interference
ratio for a user ?
Example
• In TDMA system C’/I’ be measured in
333.3 ms per second - one time slot
C’ = Eb*Rb’ = 1/3*(Eb*10E4 bits) = 3*Rb*Eb=3*C
I’ = I0*Bc’ = I0*30kHz = 3*I
• In this example FDMA and TDMA have
the same radio capacity (C/I leads to m)
Example
• Peak power of TDMA is 10logk higher then
in FDMA ( k … time slots)
• in practice TDMA have a 3-6 times better
capacity
Capacity of SDMA systems
• one beam each user
• base station tracks each user as it moves
• adaptive antennas most powerful form
• beam pattern G() has maximum gain in the
direction of desired user
• beam is formed by N-element adaptive
array antenna
Capacity of SDMA systems
• G() steered in the horizontal  -plane
through 360°
• G() has no variation in the elevation plane
to account which are near to and far from the
base station
• following picture shows a 60 degree
beamwidth with a 6 dB sideslope level
Capacity of SDMA systems
Capacity of SDMA systems
• reverse link received signal power, from
desired mobiles, is Pr;0
• interfering users i = 1,…,k-1 have received
power Pr;I
• average total interference power I seen by a
single desired user:
Capacity of SDMA
 i … direction of the i-th user in the
horizontal plane
• E … expectation operator
I = E {  G(i) Pr;I}
K-1
i=1
Capacity of SDMA systems

same) :
Pr;I = Pc
• Average interference power seen by user 0:
I = Pc E {  G(i) }
K-1

distributed throughout the cell:
I = Pc *(k -1) * 1/D
• D … directivity of the antenna - given by max(G())
