Project Groups

• Wide Area Coverage with High Mobility Access
  Systems for 4G
• Centralized systems with high mobility, lower
  data rates and wider coverage areas
• Pervasive Wireless Access for 4G
• Decentralized systems with low mobility, higher
  data rates and restricted coverage areas
• Software Defined Radio (SDR)
• Bridges the two projects horizontally

8
Wide Area Coverage for 4G

• Coordinator Prof. Arne Svensson (Chalmers
  University of Technology)
• Intense research efforts are currently ongoing
  towards the definition of physical layers for 4G
  systems.
• For the downlink, there are several proposals
  based on
• OFDM transmission techniques, and
• the combination of OFDM and CDMA

9
Wide Area Coverage for 4G

• The typical parameters for the downlink include
• Available downlink bandwidth is 100 MHz
• Carrier frequency around 5 GHz
• Maximum speed is 250 km/h
• The downlink design is simpler than the uplink
  design, since it is all about multiplexing within
  each cell.

10
Wide Area Coverage for 4G

• In the uplink, the situation is more complicated
  
• A combination of multiplexing and multiple access
  takes place in each terminal when more than one
  service is transmitted at the same time.
• The uplink is normally asynchronous and
  oscillators in different terminals are not
  synchronized
• It may be more difficult to use OFDM in the
  uplink due to its sensitivity to frequency
  synchronization errors.

11
Wide Area Coverage for 4G

• Typical uplink parameters
• Wide area coverage (cell of similar size as 3G)
• High mobility lt 250 km/h
• Carrier frequency around 5 GHz
• Available uplink bandwidth 40 MHz
• ITU requires 100 Mbps
• Multiple cell system
• UMTS channel models

12
Pervasive Wireless Access for 4G

• Coordinator Prof. Armin Wittneben, ETH Zurich
• Pervasive wireless access networks imply next
  generation WLANs that will provide ubiquitous
  connectivity
• for a variety of heterogeneous nodes, e.g., RFID
  tags for object identification, sensors and
  computers
• Data rate requirements 1 Mbps - 1 Gbps
• High node density and low node mobility is
  foreseen

13
Applications of Pervasive Wireless

14
Pervasive Wireless Access for 4G

• Pervasive wireless access networks will exploit
• Cooperative signalling
• adaptive modulation and spatial multiplexing
  (MIMO) for scalability and spectral efficiency
• adaptive scheduling to meet heterogeneous QoS
  requirements
• cooperative multiple access
• Multihop / multinode forwarding

15
Software Defined Radio

• Coordinator Prof. Sandor Imre, Budapest
  University of Technology and Economics
• Inter-system roaming and handover (e.g. due to
  traveling or multiple coverage) would require
  implementation of many different standards in a
  single radio terminal/base station.
• Reconfigurable equipment with universal hardware
  and downloaded software can solve the problem
  efficiently.
• Easier and cost-efficient system upgrades.
• Efficient design of reconfigurable radios.

16
Software Defined Radio

• The efforts are focused in
• the physical layer organization (DSP-type or
  INTEL-type philosophies)
• downloading and reconfiguration algorithms and
  protocols
• Specific hardware architectures that allows,
  e.g.,
• reconfiguration with a minimum power consumption
  penalty
• dynamic adaptation to the variations in user
  traffic
