5 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.5 Basic multiple access techniques FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS (FDMA)

6 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.6 There are two layers of multiple access: –Access to any earth station by several users –Access to the satellite by all earth stations At each layer, the access problem is solved using one or a combination of the basic multiple access techniques Various layers of multiple access

7 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.7 FDMA Techniques

8 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.8 FDMA -1 carrier per link- With N earth stations: –Each earth station transmits (N-1) carriers to the other stations –The satellite repeater handles N(N-1) carriers

9 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.9 FDMA -1 carrier per station- With N earth stations –Each earth station transmits to one carrier modulated by a multiplex of the signals to the other earth stations –The satellite repeater handles N carriers

10 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.10 One carrier per station

11 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.11 FDMA throughput

12 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.12 FDMA Summary Access Channel: give frequency band Advantages –Use of existing hardware to a greater extent than other techniques –Network timing not required Disadvantages –As the number of accesses increases, intermodulation noise reduces the usable repeater output power (TWT back-off). Hence there is a loss of capacity relative to single carrier/transponder capacity –The frequency allocation may be difficult to modify –Uplink power coordination is required

13 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.13 In a TDMA system, each earth station transmits traffic bursts, synchronized so that they occupy ASSIGNED NON-OVERLAPPING time slots. Time slots are organised within a periodic structure called TIME FRAME. A burst is received by all stations in the downlink beam and any station can extract its traffic from any of the bursts  a BURST = link from one station to several stations (TDMA=one-link-per-station scheme) TDMA Satellite System

22 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.22 Open loop synchronisation -Measurements of round trip delay are performed by three ranging stations using closed loop synchronization. -Satellite position is derived by triangulation and range from each ordinary station to satellite is calculated at reference station. -Satellite-to-station range information and frame timing is distributed to all ordinary stations by reference station

24 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.24 TDMA throughput

25 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.25 TDMA summary Access Channel: given time slot within time frame Advantages –Digital signalling provides easy interfacing with developing digital networks on ground –Digital circuitry has decreasing cost –Higher throughput compared to FDMA when number of accesses is large Disadvantages –Stations transmit high bit rate bursts, requiring large peak power –Network control is required Generation and distribution of burst time plans to all traffic stations Protocols to establish how stations enter the network Provision of redundant reference stations with automatic switchover to control the traffic stations Means for monitoring the network

26 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.26 CDMA -Spread spectrum communications

27 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.27 Transmitter spreads baseband signal from bandwidth W to B. B/W = spreading factor (100 to 1 000 000). Receiver despreads only signal with proper address. Received signals with other addresses and jammer are spread by receiver and act as noise. Addresses are periodic binary sequences that either modulate the carrier directly (DIRECT SEQUENCE SYSTEMS) or change the frequency state of the carrier (FREQUENCY HOPPING SYSTEMS).

39 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.39 Random Access Schemes (1) FDMA/TDMA/CDMA fixed access have been designed for circuit/stream traffic Bursty data traffic –e.g. packets- more efficiently dealt with via random access schemes In random access there is no permanent assignments –resource is allocated when needed on a random basis

40 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.40 Random Access Schemes (2) Simplest system is ALOHA –transmit packets and if collide, retransmit with random time difference. Performance via ‘throughput versus delay’ Throughput = N L/R –N= no transmissions – = packet generation rate (S -1 ) –L= packet length (bits) –R= transmission bit rate (bits/s) ALOHA doesn’t need synchronisation Maximum throughput 18%

41 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.41 Random Access Schemes (3) SLOTTED-ALOHA confines transmission to slot boundaries and needs time synchronisation Maximum throughput is increased to 36% As system rapidly becomes unstable as collisions build up, usual to operate below maxima Channel throughput (S) Channel load (G) 0.18 0.36 S-ALOHA (S=Ge -G ) ALOHA (S=Ge -2G )

42 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.42 Random Access Schemes (4) For variable length messages need to employ more complex scheme e.g. slotted reject ALOHA Use multi-packet message and only re- transmit sub-packets that collide Increases throughput (  0.37) independent of message length

43 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.43 Random Access Schemes (5) Comparison of random access

44 Autumn2004 © University of Surrey SatComms A - part 4 - B G Evans 4.44 Random Access Schemes (6) Comparison performances –For stream or file traffic need to use reservation TDMA (DA-TDMA) schemes ALOHA S-ALOHA S-R.ALOHA DA-TDMA Delay Throughput
