that is possibly shared with many others users simultaneously transmitting their own signals. A key issue therefore regards ways in which this communication channel is partitioned among the various users such that each receiver is able to accurately recover the signal the sender intended to transmit.
There is a need for techniques that allow the
multiple users to share the same frequency especially as wireless telecommunication continues to increase in popularity. Currently three types of schemes are used:
• Time division Multiple Access ( TDMA)
• Frequency division Multiple Access (FDMA) • Code division Multiple Access ( CDMA) Multiple access schemes Time division Multiple Access (TDMA) Time Division Multiple Access is a channel access method for shared medium networks. It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signals into different time slots. The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the others, each using his own time slots . this allows multiple station to share the same transmission medium while using only the part of its bandwidth they require. In other words in TDMA system ,each user uses the whole channel bandwidth for a fraction of time.
TDMA is a type of time division multiplexing,
with the special point that instead of having one transmitter connected to one receiver, there are multiple transmitters. • Non-continuous transmission makes handoff simpler. • Slots assigned cyclically can be assigned on demand in dynamic TDMA. • Less stringent power control than CDMA due to reduced intra cell interference. • Cell breathing is more complicated. • complex frequency/slot allocation. Advantages • Shares single carrier frequency with multiple users. • Non continuous transmission makes handoff simpler • slots can be assigned on demand. • Bandwidth supplied on demand. • Less stringent power control due to reduced inter-user interference. Applications
TDMA is used in the digital 2g cellular
system such as GSM , GPRS, EDGE, standard for portable phones, etc. Frequency Division Multiple Access FDMA is the oldest of these schemes and the least efficient. It started in the 1930; The telephone companies began to use FDM to combine multiple analog voice signals over the one line to maximize efficiency of their long distance trunks. With FDMA , only one transmission is propagated over the each channel at a time. The channel is dedicated to that one transmission regardless of whether data is being transmitted and the channel is not available for another user until the device using it terminates the transmission. In FDMA , the channel bandwidth of the available spectrum is divided into separate channels. Each individual channel frequency being allocated to a different user. FDMA Features
• Best suited for analog links.
• Continues transmission. • No framing and synchronization. • If channel not in use , sites idle. • Relative narrow channel bandwidth • FDMA requires high performance filters to minimize interference in contrast to TDMA • Simplest system. How FDMA works FDMA works : For system using Frequency Division Multiple Access, the available bandwidth is subdivided into a number of narrow band channels . Each users is allocated a unique frequency band in which to transmit and receive on. During a call, no other user can use the same frequency band . Each users is allocated a forward link channel and a reverse channel each being a single way link. Advantages
• FDMA is flexible and simple.
• Narrow bandwidth is required • Continues transmission • Little or no synchronization required Disadvantages • Crosstalk which causes interference on the other frequency and may disrupt the transmission. • Required expensive and bulky duplex filters. • FDMA is a wasteful of; the channel is assigned to a single conversation whether or not somebody is speaking. • Cannot handle other form of data accept voice transmission. Code division Multiple Access (CDMA) Decades ago , the military organization of the world adopted the Code Division Multiple Access scheme to meet the need for highly secure and easily concealed communication. CDMA uses a spreading code to scramble the data spread the bandwidth. IN the past 15 years CDMA has become popular in commercial, wireless and satellite communication. CDMA does let everyone transmit at the same time. Each users signal is spread over the entire bandwidth by a unique spreading code. At receiver , that same unique code is used to recover the signal . Multiple calls are overlaid on channel . It can be understood from following examples that imagines a room full of people , all trying to carry on one to one conversations. In CDMA each couples talks at same time .But they all use a different language Features
• CDMA has a very high “spectral
efficiency”. It can accommodate more users per MHz of bandwidth than any other technology • Bandwidth efficiency of up to 13 times than that of TDMA and between 20 to 40 times that of analog transmission • Spread spectrum technology is more secure and offers high transmission quality • All users use same frequency may transmit simultaneously • Narrowband message signal multiplied by wideband spreading signal or codeword • Each user has its own pseudo-codeword • Receivers detect only the desired codeword. All other appear as noise • Information security • Accurate Ranging • Multiple User access • Multipath tolerance • Signal hiding and non-interference with existing systems Basic principle of CDMA
What makes CDMA work on a special
type on a special type of digital modulation called “Spread Spectrum” . CDMA is a form of spread spectrum, which simply means that data is sent in small pieces over a number of the discrete frequencies available for use at any time in specified range cdma Advantages
• Can accommodate more users per MHz of
bandwidth than any other technology • Bandwidth efficiency of up to 12 times than that of TDMA and between 20 to 40 times that of analog transmission • All users use same frequency and may transmit simultaneously • Wide frequency spectrum reduces fading • Narrow band interference rejection • Spread spectrum technology is both more secure offers high transmission quality • Information security • Multiple user access Disadvantages
• Soft capacity limit: system performance
degrades for all users as number of users increase • Receivers must know transmitter’s code word • Self-jamming problem • High Bandwidth is needed • Complex Hardware • Synchronization problem • Tradeoff between precision of control and capacity • Channel pollution
