History • 1946 First mobile phones deployed, FM 120KHz, half-duplex • 1950 FM 60KHz, better RF filters available • Mid 1960’s: 30KHz, full-duplex, IMTS (Improved Mobile Telephone Service), limited capacity: 12 channels, 543 paying customers in New York City (1976) 10/14/08

Cellular Communications • 1968 – Cell concept proposed by AT&T • 1983 – FCC allocates 40 MHz of spectrum in 800 MHz band, 30 kHz for each one-way channel (for full-duplex) analog • Channels split between two carriers • More frequencies allocated, 1.8-1.9 GHz, etc. over time • Bandwidth limited 10/14/08

Terminology • Base Station – Fixed station used for radio communication with mobiles. Located at the center or edge of coverage region. Consists of radio channels, transmit/receive antennas.

• Control Channels – Radio channels used for transmission of call setup, request, initiation and other control purposes

• Full Duplex – Communication system that allows simultaneous two-way communication, transmission reception usually on two different frequencies (FDD) 10/14/08

• Forward Channel – Radio channel for transmission from base station to mobile

• Reverse channel – Radio channel for transmission from mobile to base station

• Handoff – Process of transferring a mobile from one channel or base station to another

• Mobile Switching Center – Switching center that coordinates call routing in a large service area. MSC connects cellular base stations and the mobiles to the PSTN (also called Mobile Telephone switching office (MTSO) 10/14/08

Making calls from a cellphone 1. Mobile sends call initiation request, its ID number to base station on reverse control channel 2. Base station receives and relays to the MSC 3. MSC validates user, instructs base station to move mobile to voice channels 4. Base station pages mobile with instructions 5. Mobile moves to voice channel 6. MSC connects mobile to PSTN 7. Voice transmission/reception between mobile and base station begins 10/14/08

MSC receives call from PSTN , sends page to base stations Base stations send page on forward control channel to mobiles Mobile receives page and acknowledges on reverse control channel; sends validation information MSC validates mobile, asks base station to put user on voice channel pair Base station sends voice channel information on FCC, mobile moves to voice channel Voice transmission/reception initiated; MSC connects with PSTN.

Channel Assignment • Need to assign frequencies to users/cell • Fixed – Each cell has predetermined number of channels – If all channels used, cell is “blocked”, no service – Cells can borrow channels from neighboring cells

• Dynamic – No permanent allocation – Frequency band requested from MSC, assigned using reuse distance, blocking probabilities, use of channel, signal strength 10/14/08

Interference and Capacity • Interference causes – cross-talk, poor quality,(voice channel) – blocking and missed calls (control channel)

• Co-channel interference – Frequency reuse in nearby cells

• Adjacent channel interference – Signal in adjacent frequency band – Signals from other cell companies 10/14/08

Co-Channel Interference

10/14/08

EE421 Fall 2001

25

Adjacent Channel Interference • Comes from imperfect filters that allow frequency leakage into the band • Serious problem if interferer is nearby, near-far effect – Nearby mobile transmits on a frequency near to that of a weak mobile

• Base station receivers need high-Q filters to reject adjacent channel interference. 10/14/08

EE421 Fall 2001

26

Power Control • Each mobile should use the minimum amount of power to have good quality. • Base station controls power – CDMA power toggles up and down continuously, like delta modulation – TDMA, AMPS adjusted by base station

27

Increasing Capacity • Cell Sectoring – Divide cell up into angular sections, typically 3 or 6 – Increases reuse

• Cell Splitting – Subdivide cell into smaller cells, increases the number of channels, keep same structure – Needs power control 10/14/08

AMPS Voice Processing

Compander – compresses signal in amplitude, roughly 2:1 ratio Deviation Limiter –assures that the max. deviation is the +/- 12 kHz Postdeviation limiter filter – LPF, attenuated signal to keep in band and avoid interfering with SAT tones 10/14/08
