Factors Affecting Wireless QoS


QoS of wireless network is affected by the following:
Attenuation, Multi-path interference, Spectrum interference: for example spread-spectrum interferences from neighbouring cells, Noise: Noise sources can be natural and man-made such as radio, TV and other radio-frequency transmission, Mobility: affects hand-over and

TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE QOS:


MIMO-OFDM MODULATION TECHNIQUE: MIMO: Multiple Input Multiple Output OFDM: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing

MIMO-OFDM System

Each transmitter is an independent OFDM modulator. The source symbols could be space-time block coded Each receiver is an OFDM demodulator combined with a MIMO decoder to invert the channel on each subcarrier and extract the source symbols.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)

OFDM divides a frequency selective channel into a number of flat fading channels

CONCLUSION:
The capacity can be improved by MIMO systems The time duration of an OFDM symbol is N times larger than that of a single carrier system
