DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS CABLE MODEMS

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS CABLE TV DOES NOT SUFFER FROM THE TELEHONE CABLE PROBLEM TV CABLE IS VERY BROADBAND, BANDWIDTH AT LEAST TO 1 GHz, SIGNAL TRANSMISSION IS EXCELLENT CABLE TV NETWORK ARCHITECTURE IS A PROBLEM

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS ALL USERS SHARE THE SAME CABLE CABLE BANDWIDTH IS DIVIDED INTO TV CHANNELS A TV CHANNEL CAN BE USED AS A DATA CHANNEL USING DIGITAL MODULATION, SUCH CHANNEL CAN CAN HAVE E.G. 50 Mb/s CAPACITY THE MORE USERS WOULD SHARE IT THE LESS BANDWIDTH THEY GET

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS SECOND PROBLEM: TV CHANNELS ARE USED FOR RECEIVING SIGNALS HOW USERS CAN SEND THEIR DATA? CABLE NETWORK MUST BE REDESIGNED TO -ALLOW DATA SENDING USING CABLE MODEM -ALLOW SEPARATE STREAM FOR EACH USER

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS STANDARDS WERE DEFINED FOR THIS -FOR RECEIVING DATA ANY TV CHANNEL CAN BE ALLOCATED IN THE BAND MHz AND MHz -FOR SENDING DATA THE BAND 5-65 MHz IS ALLOCATED

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS SIGNAL MODULATION IN CABLE MODEMS QPSK - QUADRATURE PHASE SHIFT KEYING QAM – QUADRATURE AMPLITUDE MODULATION. PHASE OF THE SIGNAL IS CHANGED (HERE FOUR VALUES ARE USED)

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS PHASE AND AMPLITUDE CAN BE CHANGED – QAM HERE WE CAN ASSIGN 3 BITS TO EACH VALUE OF AMPLITUDE AND PHASE 000 THE MORE AMPLITUDE AND PHASE VALUES THE MORE INFORMATION CAN BE SEND, BUT SIGNAL IS MORE SENSITIVE TO NOISE

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS 16-QAM BIT ASSIGNMENT

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS FOR THE UPSTREAM CHANNEL (FROM THE USER) 0.2, 1 OR 2 MHz CHANNELS CAN BE USED, THEY ARE QPSK MODULATED. DATA RATE IS 256 kb/s, 1.5 Mb/s, 3 Mb/s, 6 Mb/s FOR THE DOWNSTREAM CHANNEL THE TV CHANNEL IS USED. 64 OR 256 QAM MODULATION, DATA RATE Mb/s

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS A SIMPLE SYSTEM IS THE ONE IN WHICH ALL USERS SHARE THE SAME CHANNEL, IT IS LIKE THE ETHERNET BANDWIDTH DEPENDS ON THE NUMBER OF USERS AND NETWORK LOAD. THIS SYSTEM IS A KIND OF LAN AND IS RELATIVELY VERY CHEAP FOR ITS BANDWIDTH

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS MORE COMPLICATED SYSTEM IS THE ONE IN WHICH USERS GET THEIR OWN STREAMS HOW THIS CAN BE DONE? - EACH 40 Mb/s CHANNEL IS ENOUGH FOR 8-10 USERS - MORE TV CHANNELS CAN BE ALLOCATED TO DATA TRANSMISSION FOR EXAMPLE WITH 20 CHANNELS ONE CAN GET 200 USERS

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS CABLE TV NETWORK CAN BE SPLIT AROUND HEADEND AMPLIFIERS USERS ( PER HEADEND) DISTRIBUTION (FIBER OPTICS)

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS THUS FROM EACH CABLE HEADEND USERS CAN BE SUPPLIED BY THEIR OWN STREAMS CABLE TV NETWORK IS THUS ABLE TO SUPPLY VERY MANY USERS WITH HIGH BANDWIDTH NETWORKING SERVICE

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS WIRLESS SYSTEMS CELLULAR NETWORKS

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS THERE ARE SEVERAL METHODS FOR EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF RADIO TRANSMISSION: - FDM, FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEX TRANSMITTERS USE DIFFERENT FREQUENCY BANDS (example: television, radio) -TDM, TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEX, TRNSMITTERS ARE USED AT DIFFERENT TIMES -SDM, SPATIAL DIVISION MULTIPLEX, TRNSMITTERS OPERATE IN SEPARATED AREAS (mobile phones) -CDM, CODE DIVISION MULTIPLEX, TRANSMITTERS OPERATE WITH DIFFERENT ACCESS CODES WHICH MINIMIZE INTERFERENCE (mobile phones) If we have transmitters and receivers we can talk about Access to the reception and systems are called CDMA, FDMA,...

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS THESE ACCESS SYSTEMS CAN BE USED IN ALL KIND OF COMBINATIONS, TDMA/FDMA/SDMA ETC. SYSTEMS CAN BE DESIGNED FOR OPTIMAL USE OF RADIO WAVES WITH THOSE ACCESS SYSTEMS: 1.SDMA – IS A BASIS FOR CELLULAR SYSTEMS, FREQUENCIES CAN BE REUSED IN SEPARATED CELLS THERE IS A TRANSMITTER IN THE CENTER OF EACH CELL

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS THE COST OF THIS IS THAT ONE NEEDS TO IMPLEMENT HANDOVER WHEN MOVING BETWEEN THE CELLS AND ALSO TRACK THE LOCATION USERS WITHIN THE CELLS TDMA/FDMA, CDMA CAN BE REUSED IN DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS EXAMPLE: THE GSM SYSTEM: OPERATES IN TWO BANDS 900 AND 1800 MHz, WIDTH 25 AND 75 MHz, WIDTH OF ONE CHANNEL – 200 kHz FDMA CHANNEL DIVIDED INTO 8 time slots - TDMA WHY? IT SAVES THE NUMBER OF TRANSMITTERS

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS - IN ADDITION GSM THE SYSTEM HAS ALSO A KIND OF CDMA – FREQUENCY HOPPING: FREQUENCY BAND CAN BE CHANGED FROM TIME SLOT TO TIME SLOT ACCORDING TO SPECIFIC PATTERN. THIS LEADS TO STATISTICALLY BETTER USE. -HOW MANY USERS CAN BE SUPPORTED? IF ONE BASE STATION TAKES 5 MHz IT CAN SUPPORT 200 USERS (175). MINIMUM CELL SIZE IS M(?). SO WE CAN GET HIGH DENSITY OF USERS/km 2

Consequently GPRS backbone was not fully optimized for IP data and a general purpose tunneling protocol was designed for this. As a result the GPRS transport plane is characterized by an heavy 3 layer protocol stack.

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS HSCSD is available and offers four times higher bandwidth than the todays GSM data service thus being very well compatible to the standard fix network connection. HSCSD requires minor network upgrades only. No new network elements are required at all. The invest is about a fifth of the one for GPRS. HSCSD charging principles are well introduced in the network and well accepted by the customers. HSCSD has a well defined QoS and can thus be used to address the high expectation market segment. HSCSD: Pros and Cons HSCSD is still circuit switched, i.e. the network load is not as efficiently handled as with GPRS and thus an always on service is hard to deliver. HSCSD is not the service to address the mass market with.

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS GPRS offers up from mid 2000 a four times higher bandwidth than the todays GSM data service. GPRS offers optimal network resource usage and optimized mobile Internet access by introducing the packet switched principle into GSM. GPRS allows to address the mass market with an always on data service. GPRS: Pros and Cons Due to the IP character the GPRS QoS can not be guaranteed. GPRS requires major network upgrades and totally new network elements. GPRS is expensive. Charging principles of GPRS are unclear and thus appropriate interfaces to the billing systems do not exist.

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS Enhancements to 3G data capacity The data rate of basic 3G network is in the range of kb/s which is not much for current demands Upgrades were developed for significant increasing of the data rate. They are called in general HSPA – High Speed Packet Access, two methods used are: HSDPA - High Speed Downlink Packet Access HSUPA – High Speed Uplink Packet Access

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS HSDPA High Speed Download Packet Access Information is sent to the users HSDPA uses QPSK and 16-QAM modulation. Users share data channel in 2 ms time frames (several users may be served in one frame) The data rate speed will depend on the type of modulation, the number of users and priorities.

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS PERSONAL WIRELESS (Ad-Hoc) NETWORKS

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks Temporary, wireless networks Direct peer-to-peer connection (no base stations) Connection created automatically when devices come close to each other –No a priori knowledge of other devices –No administration –No preconfiguration Data transmitted over air using electromagnetic waves –Data is superimposed to a carrier signal –Once superimposed, signal occupies a frequency band instead of a single frequency –When there are many radio signals in the same space, the signals have to be separated somehow.

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS Signal Separation Narrowband technologies –one transmitter uses one frequency –receiver tunes into correct frequency Wideband technologies –more advanced –use spread spectrum technology There are two common types of spread spectrum technologies –FHSS : Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum –DSSS : Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum FHSS uses narrowband carrier –Carrier changes frequency between time slices The receiver must know the pattern according to which the frequency is changing To an unintended receiver the signal appears to be short duration impulse noise FrequencyFrequency Time

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum DSSS generates a redundant bit pattern for each bit to be transmitted The longer the pattern, –the greater the probability that the original signal can be recovered –the more bandwidth is required To and unintended receiver DSSS appears as low-power wideband noise One Zero

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS RF Ad-Hoc Network Characteristics Easy to install & configure compared to wired networks Freedom to move the transmitter and receiver Carrier signal typically 2.4 GHz (or 5 GHz) Transmitter coverage typically m –Depends on transmitter power, receiver design and propagation path Data rates Mbps –Depends on number of users in the same space, interference from other sources and propagation factors Security is provided with data encryption –Eavesdropping easier than in wired networks Battery life limits use Safety of radio waves –Transmitter power is small compared to cellular phones

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS Bluetooth A specification for short-range RF communication –communication between portable devices –communication between computer and peripherals Bluetooth chip characteristics: –small size –low power consumption Developed in 1994 by Ericsson 1997: Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group) –Original SIG: Ericsson, Nokia, IBM, Toshiba, Intel –Currently over 1600 members in the SIG Before manufacturers can market their device as Bluetooth device, it must be approved by the SIG.

Who Is Bluetooth? Harald Blaatand Bluetooth II, King of Denmark Son of Gorm the Old (King of Denmark) and Thyra Danebod (daughter of King Ethelred of England) This is one of two Runic stones erected in his capitol city of Jelling (central Jutland) This is the front of the stone depicting the chivalry of Harald The stones inscription (runes) say: Harald christianized the Danes Harald controlled Denmark and Norway Harald thinks notebooks and cellular phones should seamlessly communicate

Personal Ad Hoc Networks Cable Replacement Landline Data/Voice Access Points What Does Bluetooth Do?

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS Bluetooth - Technology Operates on 2,4 GHz ISM band –also microwave ovens, WLAN systems, baby monitors, garage door openers and cordless phones use this band Normal coverage 10 m (1mW) –also 100 m possible (but conflicts with Bluetooth principle) Uses FHSS –band 2, ,500 GHz is divided into 79 subbands (1MHz each) (in some countries only 23 subbands) –transmission further divided into time slots (625 s) –clocks synchronised to masters clock –1 packet/slot, after that changes to new frequency –1600 hops/sec fast hopping, short packets more reliable transmission (re-sending of one corrupted packet is not a demanding task)

Radio Protocol Spread spectrum frequency hopping radio –79/23 one MHz channels –Hops every packet Packets are 1, 3 or 5 slots long –Frame consists of two packets Transmit followed by receive –Nominally hops at 1600 times a second (one slot packets)

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS Bluetooth - Data and Voice Data & voice set different requirements for transmission Data: speed & reliability (even one bit cant change) Voice: stream of packets must not be interrupted –speed & reliability not so important To fulfill both requirements, Bluetooth uses ideas of both packet and circuit switched connection Voice: SCO (Synchronous Connection Oriented) –time slots are reserved for the stream ( steady stream) –possible because only one device can transmit at a time & master can reserve time slots (max speed 64 kbps) Data: ACL (Asynchronous Connectionless) –can be symmetric or asymmetric (432,6 kbps ; 721 kbps / 57,6 kbps respectively)

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS Bluetooth - Piconets and Scatternets Bluetooth supports point-to-point and point-to-multipoint data and voice communication Communicating devices (max 8) form a PICONET Master can be any of the devices –clock, frequency hopping pattern Devices can freely join and leave a piconet Each device can simultaneously belong to several piconets Combination of several piconets = SCATTERNET –each piconet has its own master & hopping pattern –piconets in a scatternet are not synchronized collisions are rare, piconets can maintain good performance Piconets are small (not meant to replace WLAN)

The Piconet All devices in a piconet hop together –In forming a piconet, master gives slaves its clock and device ID Hopping pattern determined by device ID (48-bit) Phase in hopping pattern determined by Clock Non-piconet devices are in standby Piconet Addressing –Active Member Address (AMA, 3-bits) – Parked Member Address (PMA, 8-bits)or

Network Topology Radio Designation –Connected radios can be master or slave –Radios are symmetric (same radio can be master or slave) Piconet –Master can connect to seven simultaneous or 200+ active slaves per piconet –Each piconet has maximum capacity (1 MSPS) Unique hopping pattern/ID Scatternet –High capacity system Minimal impact with up to 10 piconets within range – Radios can share piconets!

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS Bluetooth Baseband Protocol There are altogether 7 states a Bluetooth device can have: Standby: Waiting to join a piconet Inquire: Ask about radios to connect to Page: Connect to a specific radio Connected: Actively on a piconet (master or slave) PARK / HOLD: Low power connected states In hold/park state modes the device consumes only 60 microAmperes. In active data mode 5mA and in active voice mode 8-30 mA. The device can start participating from park/hold modes within 2 ms.

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS Bluetooth - Error Correction Bluetooth uses three different error correction schemes: FEC, ARQ and CSVD FEC (Forward Error Correction Code) –corrects the errors –purpose: reduce number of retransmissions –always used for packet headers –is effective, but in good conditions adds unnecessary overhead to packets ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request) –If checksum of bits does not match, packet is retransmitted –Good in good conditions : seldom need for retransmitting CSVD (Continuous Variable Slope Delta Modulation) –used when transmitting sound, because retransmitting of packets is not sensible –With help of CSVD speech is understandable even if 4% of packets are corrupted

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS Bluetooth - Security Bluetooth hardware supports –user authentication (one-way / two-way / no authentication) –data encryption (secret key length 0 ; 40 or 64 bits) –session key generation Three entities are used in the security algorithms: –Bluetooth unit address (public entity) –Private user key (secret entity) –Random number (different for each new transaction) Users who need stronger protection can use upper layers of Bluetooth stack to do this (network transport protocol / application programs)

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS Bluetooth - Software Piconets are controlled by software Software can reside in any of the participating devices Lot of software is needed to build sensible applications Applications can use existing protocols like TCP/IP, WAP, RFCOMM, OBEX... E.g. Java-based JINI architecture by Sun Microsystems can handle the communication between participants in an ad-hoc network.

DeféeMULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS BLUETOOTH APPLICATIONS PARK RIDGE, Ill. Motorola Inc. will take Bluetooth a step closer to the automobile this week, as it demonstrates a new in-car communication system at the Convergence 2000 show in Detroit. The demonstration, which involves moving data back and forth from consumer devices to automotive network buses, is believed to be the first of its kind in the automotive industry. It's also one that has been anxiously awaited by automotive engineers, many of whom foresee a vast array of potential applications for Bluetooth's wireless techniques.
