Multicarrier communications:
Longer period, same data rate
•Concept:
–Divide original data stream at
rate R into L lower rate (R/L)
streams on different carriers to
increase symbol time
•Long history
–KINEPLEX
–ANDEFT
–KATHRYN
•Effects
–High receiver complexity

OFDM
• Much simpler to create multicarrier transmission using
iFFT
– Information carried in magnitude and phase of each bin
– Then can be recovered by using FFT at receiver
• Ideal inverse Fourier transform
of multicarrier would be infinite
duration sine waves
– Cut at Symbol duration Ts
– Rectangular windowing causes
sinc spectrum in frequency
domain with zeros at 1/Ts
– Orthogonal subcarriers

Delay Spread
OFDM Symbol
Delay Spread
• If we space OFDM symbols by gaps at
least as long as the delay spread, then
there will be no intersymbol interference
• However, there will still be interference
within the symbol (intrasymbol)
Equalization and the DFT
• While using longer symbol timing means OFDM can
avoid irreducible errors, still have interfering energy in
band from multipath
– Received signal is the (linear) convolution of channel impulse
response with transmitted signal
y  h* x
• DFT Circular Convolution Theorem
– Circular convolution of two discrete vectors in time domain
y  xh
– Is multiplication in the frequency domain
Yk  X k H k
• Implication: If we can make the system behave like a
circular convolution, equalization is trivial
– complex multiplication per FFT bin at the receiver
Cyclic Prefix
• Adding a cyclic
prefix at transmitter
leads to circular
convolution
• Note that
misaligned timing
still results in a
circular
convolution, just
time shifted
– Makes for phase
shifts in FFT bins
– Correct that in a
moment

•Permits low complexity
equalization for same data
rates
•Single carrier tap#
approximately bandwidth
delay product
–MAC
•OFDM, number subcarriers
grows with bandwidthdelay product, so
• We’re transmitting redundant
bits (no information transfer)
– Bandwidth penalty: L / (L + v)
– Power penalty: L / (L + v)
• Penalty becomes negligible as
L becomes large (but there are
tradeoffs! – more later)
• Power penalty generally more
important in practice where
systems are interference limited
• Penalty can be avoided with
zero prefix
– Nothing transmitted in guard band
(zero prefix)
– Receiver adds tail back to
beginning of symbol
– Used in WiMedia
Frequency Errors
• Primary sources of
frequency errors
– Doppler shift
– Clock mismatches
– Phase noise
• Effects
– Reduction in amplitude
(missampling sinc)
– Intercarrier
interference

Effects of Frequency Errors
• Comments
– Impact greater for higher
SNR signals
– Note 5% estimation error
can lead to 5 dB effective
degradation at 64-QAM like
SNRs
– Big frequency impact is why
OFDM was originally for
fixed deployments
• Techniques
– Data aided
– Non data aided
– Cyclic prefix

• Channel assumed static for duration of symbol, though
frequency/phase varying over bandwidth

Spectral Effects of Windowing and Clipping
• Clipping
– Eliminate signals above a certain
level or ratio
• Peak windowing
– Filter peaks
• Linear block code
– Select only those codewords with
small PAPR
– Can also provide error correction
• Peak Cancellation
– Subtract signals from high peaks
– Need to be similar bandwidth to
limit out-of-band interfernce
• Symbol Scrambling
Peak Cancellation, Clipping, PAPR = 4dB
Adaptive Modulation
• Different subcarriers
experience different
flat fades
• Means different SINR
• Adapting modulation

subcarrier to its SINR

OFDMA
• Multiple user access with
OFDM
• Lots of flexibility possible
when splitting up OFDM
symbols and frames
• Allocation algorithms
– Maximum Sum Rate
– Proportional fairness
– Proportional rates
constraints
– Assign different subcarriers
to different users
– Assign different time slots
to different users
– Vary modulation and
coding
– Vary powers
– More options available with
antenna arrays

OFDM Summary
• OFDM overcomes even severe intersymbol
interference through the use of the IFFT and a
cyclic prefix.
• Limiting factor is frequency offset
– Correctable via simple algorithm when preambles
used
• Two key details of OFDM implementation are
synchronization and management of the peak-toaverage ratio.
• OFDMA provides a lot of flexibility to a system’s
resource allocation
– Permits exploitation of multi-user diversity
Antenna Array Algorithms and
MIMO
Antenna Array Principles
• Exploit multiple independent channels created
by multipath diversity
• Works with uncorrelated antennas
–Array gain
• Coherently combine energy from antennas
• Works even with perfectly correlated antennas
as received SNR increases linearly with the
number of receive antennas

Open Loop Transmit Diversity (1/2)
• Transmitter sends multiple
signals (possibly copies)
– These interfere at the receiver,
but if coded properly, the
receiver can recover the signal
• Simplest implementation is
orthogonal space time block
codes or Alamouti codes1
– Assumes flat constant channel
over two symbol periods (may
not be true for high mobility)
– Requires channel knowledge at
receiver
– No change in rate required

wireless communications,” IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in

Open Loop Transmit Diversity (2/2)
A 4x2 Stacked Alamouti System
• 2x2 STBC (same transmit
encoder) SINR
– Note number of h terms
maximized when Nt = Nr for a
fixed number of antennas
– Also full-diversity, orthogonal
STBCs exist only for certain
combinations of Nt and Nr.
• Can also use space-time
trellis codes for added 1-2
dB, but those have
exponential complexity order

Closed Loop Systems
•Transmit selection diversity
–Antenna(s) chosen which maximizes
SINR
–Equivalent to receiver selection diversity
–Not as good as beamforming
–Little bandwidth required
–Makes most sense in in deployments
with small bandwidths and small delay
spreads (low range)
• Linear diversity precoding
–Feedback channel state information to transmit encoder
–Transmit encoder then attempts to fine encoding matrix which
maximizes SNR at the receiver
–Higher SNR than STBC
–Typically use some sort of codebook to reduce feedback bandwidth

Adaptive Beamforming
• Narrowband beamforming is equivalent to spatial
filtering
–By choosing appropriate sensor coefficients, it is
possible to steer the beam in the desired direction
–By varying the sensor coefficients (spatial filter taps)
adaptively, the interference is reduced
• Wideband beamforming requires joint space-time
processing
–Phase shift at the antennas is frequency dependent
–Frequency-dependent response is required (filter)
• Common algorithms
–Maximum Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio
(MSINR)
–Minimum Mean Squared Error
–Least Mean Squares
–Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR)
–Recursive Least Squares
–Similar to linear precoding, but may account for
interferers
Performance Comparison
• MRT refers to
maximum ratio
transmission
– the choice of antenna
weights that maximize
received SNR
• With optimal
eigenbeamformer,
canceling an interferer
is equivalent to
dropping an antenna

Spatial Multiplexing Techniques
•Open loop (Unknown channel)
–Maximum likelihood
• Little gain, except at low SNR
–Zero-forcing
•Closed loop (known channel)
–Singular Value Decomposition
• Computationally complex
• Capacity (assuming waterfilling)
• Evaluates pseudo-inverse of H
• Can dramatically increase noise power
–MMSE
• Minimizes distortion
• Like Zero-forcing at high SNR, but
without the instability at low SNR
–BLAST
• Layers & codes transmissions across
antennas
• Effectively linear receiver with
successive interference cancellation
• Receiver iterates through transmission
streams using MMSE or ZF
• Works better in lab than real-world due
to high SNR requirement
• For large SNR, capacity grows
linearly with rank of H,
approximately min{Nt, Nr}
–Approximations guided by
• information capacity,
• error probability
• detection MSE
• received SNR
–Can tradeoff multiplexing for
diversity
Relative Capacity as function of
Antenna Array Technique
• 19 BS, 3 sectors, spaced 2.8 km, mix of
users
• Proportional Fair scheduling
Source: WiMAX Forum
Correlation/Coupling Effects
• Spacing between antennas influence
correlation and coupling
• Multipath components can act like interference
for beamforming which reduces antenna gain

Diversity vs. Beamforming

•
Diversity Combining
Combine signals from different
antenna elements using various
algorithms
Signal from each element is
processed separately
Signals have to be uncorrelated
for maximum performance
Mitigates fading
Increases gain
Can improve polarization match
No interference rejection
capabilities
Adaptive beamforming
• Focus the antenna’s gain in the
direction of the desired signal
– Achieved by manipulating the
weights associated with each
element
• Antenna elements have to be
separated by /2 to attain a
certain phase difference in the
signals
– Signals are correlated
• All advantages of diversity
combining
• Has interference rejection
capabilities
– Typically > 20 dB
MIMO Summary
• Spatial diversity offers incredible
improvements in reliability, comparable to
increasing the transmit power by a factor of
10–100.
• These diversity gains can be attained with
multiple receive antennas, multiple transmit
antennas, or a combination of both.
• Beamforming techniques are an alternative
to directly increase the desired signal energy
while suppressing, or nulling, interfering
signals.
• In contrast to diversity and beamforming,
spatial multiplexing allows multiple data
streams to be simultaneously transmitted
using sophisticated signal processing.
• Since multiple-antenna techniques require
channel knowledge, the MIMO-OFDM
channel can be estimated, and this channel
knowledge can be relayed to the transmitter
for even larger gains.
• It is possible to switch between diversity and
multiplexing modes to find a desirable
reliability-throughput operating point;
multiuser MIMO strategies can be harnessed
to transmit to multiple users simultaneously
over parallel spatial channels.

•http://www.wimax.com/commentary/blog/blog-2007/wibrosubscriber-numbers-korea-telecom-kt-far-ahead-of-sk-telecom
How does WiBRO relate to
802.16e?
•
WiMAX Forum:
(http://www.wimaxforum.org/news/press_releases/WiBro_and_Mobile_WiMAX_Bac
kgrounder.pdf)
– “WiBro is the service name for Mobile WiMAX in Korea. WiBro uses the Mobile
WiMAX System Profile. The system profile contains a comprehensive list of features that
the equipment is required or allowed to support, and, as a result, WiBro offers the same
capabilities and features of Mobile WiMAX.”
– It’s Mobile WiMAX, just with a different profile (frequency, bandwidth…)
•
Vendors: WiBRO is compatible with 802.16e, but there’s more to Mobile WiMAX
than just 802.16e compatibility and many choices in WiBRO are different from what
is mandatory in 802.16e
– From (http://www.nortel.com/solutions/wimax/collateral/wimax_wibro_white_paper.pdf)
•
Some more important differences from Nortel white paper
– Mandatory Handoff
• 802.16e = HHO
• WiBRO = FBSS
– HARQ
• 80.16e = Chase combine HARQ
• WiBRO = Incremental redundancy HARQ
– Likely (though unclear) network layer differences
802.16j Mobile Multi-hop Relay
• Expand coverage, capacity by
adding relay stations
• Intended for licensed operation
• Not intended as a mesh network
– Actually a tree
• Support mobile units
•
•
Relays controlled from base
stations
Fixed Relay
– Permanent installation
– Useful for coverage holes
•
Nomadic Relay
– Temporary fixed installation
– Extra capacity for special
events (military SDR
conferences)
•
Mobile Relay
– Placed on mobile platform to
support users on the platform
– Useful for public transport
(buses, trains)
Modified from Fig 1 in IEEE 802.16mmr-05/032
IEEE 802.20
• Fill performance gap between “high data-rate,
low mobility 802 standards” and “high
mobility cellular networks”
• From QTDD/QFDD Proposal
• OFDMA data channel
• CDMA control channel
• Bandwidths
– 5 MHz – 20 MHz
• MIMO
– Single, multiple code word
– Pseudo- Eigen beamforming
• Space Division Multiple Access
– Separate mode from MIMO
• Data Rate 260 Mbps
– MIMO, 20 MHz
• Turbo coding
• Time-frequency hopping
• Supposed to support inter Radio Access
Technology handoffs
• Similar to UMB
– UMB is effectively an upgrade to MBFDD version
– IEEE C802.20-07/14
– Likely same fate (contributions way down)
• 802.20 Shenanigans
• Allegations of process abuse brought to a
screeching halt when standard suspended
in September
• Project Launched 2004
• Looked to be dead in the water
– Flarion leading proposal
– Qualcomm leading vote holder
• Turned around when Qualcomm bought
Flarion (Aug 05)

– Uplink 2.8 bps/Hz
• Latency less than 802.16e
• Radio Resource Management
– Reporting, interference management
– Multicast broadcast service
– “High-resolution” location determination
• Internetworking with:
– 802.11 3GPP, 3GPP2
• Coverage optimized for 5 km, functional
to 30-100 km
• Optimized for low mobility (<15kph),
maintain connection up to 350 kph
• Optimized for contiguous spectrum but
support discontiguous
• Reuse/share bandwidth with legacy
systems
• Direct migration from 802.16e
Cellular Summary
• Lots of decisions appear motivated by politics and IP costs
• UMB, 802.20 likely dead for different though related reasons
• Likely competing standards are LTE and WiMAX
– Very similar technologies though
– General trend of adopting successful technologies
• Success of Mobile WiMAX highly contingent on success of new
ClearWire entity
– Well funded
– If successful, will change cellular business models
• Applications finally driving networks (iPhone, Kindle)
• LTE is very slow out of the gate
– 3GPP still has not caught up with 3GPP2
– Will LTE be the same?
• 4G a ways out, but preparation is underway

Distributed Coordination Function
(DCF)
• Intended to combat “hidden
nodes” in an uncoordinated
network and generate fair
access to channel
• Basic components:
–After waiting DIFS after last
detected transmission, source
sends Request to Send (RTS)
–Destination replies with Clear to
Send (if OK)
–Data is then transferred and
ACKed
–If an error occurs (e.g., collision),
then station has to wait for DIFS +
random backoff.
• Random backoff grows with # of
collisions
• Network allocation vector
– Acts as virtual carrier sense
– Duration given in RTS/CTS
fields
• DIFS = DCF Interframe Space
• SIFS = Short Interframe Space
802.11 overhead
• Significant overhead involved
in 802.11
– RTS/CTS/ACK SIFS
– TCP, IP, MAC framing

Emerging Cognitive Standards
Cognitive Radio
• An approach to wireless
engineering wherein the radio, radio
network, or wireless system is
endowed with the capacities to:
– acquire, classify, and organize
information (aware)
– retain information (aware)
– apply logic and analysis to information
(reason)
– make and implement choices (agency)
about operational aspects of the radio,
network, or wireless system in a
manner consistent with a purposeful
goal (intelligent).
– “Cognitive Radio Definitions and Nomenclature,”
Working Document SDRF-06-R-0009-V0.08

• UMA allows to access the mobile voice
and data services of the cellular network
over a Wireless LAN
• Subscribers are enabled to roam and
handover between cellular networks and
wireless networks
• Mobile devices access the Core Network
through Unlicensed Mobile Access
Network (UMAN).

Interoperability Summary
•
•
•
Proliferation of standards + lack of
silver bullet standard means that
optimal access technology will
vary
Supporting growth in use of VoIP
will make networks less
dependent on particular access
technologies
Biggest issues are:
– Getting industries to agree
(Herding cats)
– Managing security across
heterogeneous networks
– Harmonizing handoff routines
•
•
802.21 is the standard that ties
together the vertical handoff
standards
Heavy focus on WiFi + Cellular
Rapid growth ?

Summary and Future Trends
Convergence of Approaches
• WiMAX becoming more like
cellular, cellular becoming
more like WiMAX
• Cellular like waveforms
converging to mix of OFDMA
+ MIMO optimized for low
speeds with small cell sizes
Source: http://www.wimaxforum.org/technology/downloads/
WiMAX_and_ IMT_2000.pdf
• Recognition of this convergence is leading to WiMAX being treated
like a cellular technology
– Sprint’s XOhm network (now ClearWire!)
– WiMAX classified as 3G
• WiMAX out of the gate first
– Nokia, Motorola, Samsung
– http://www.reuters.com/article/technology-media-telco-SPA/idUSSP31345620070904
• Because 3G took so long to deploy, WiMAX will steal a march
Breeding Successful Technologies
• Mobile WiMAX will be a MIMO standard, but
so will LTE
– Transition of technologies can significantly
extend useful lifetime of deployments
• Enhanced EDGE
• WCDMA + MIMO may steal LTE’s market
– 802.11n predates mobile WiMAX
• 802.22 techniques opening up legacy
spectrum for other standards
– White Space Coalition
– 802.16m
• Standards can expect to continue to evolve
even post-deployment
– Need for SDR
• May make for smoother transition to 4G
