TECHNIQUES FOR
WIRELESS
COMMUNICATION
FDMA
Continuous transmission
Narrow bandwidth
Low overhead
Simple hardware at mobile unit and BS : (1) no digital
processing needed (2) ease of framing and synchronization.
FDMA can be used with both analogue and digital signal.
FDMA requires high-performing filters in the radio
hardware, in contrast to TDMA and CDMA.
FDMA is not vulnerable to the timing problems that TDMA
has.
Due to the frequency filtering, FDMA is not sensitive to near-
far problem.
CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT
All channels in a cell are
available to all the mobiles.
Channel assignment is
carried out on a first-come
first- served basis.
The number of channels,
given a frequency
spectrum BT , depends on
the modulation technique
and the guard bands
between the channels.
These guard bands can be
used to minimize adjacent
channel interference.
ADVANTAGES
If channel is not in use, it sits idle
Channel bandwidth is relatively narrow (30kHz)
Simple algorithmically, and from a hardware standpoint
Fairly efficient when the number of stations is small and
the traffic is uniformly constant
Capacity increase can be obtained by reducing the
information bit rate and using efficient digital code
No need for network timing
No restriction regarding the type of baseband or type of
modulation
DISADVANTAGES
slots is transmitted by the base stations. From this signals, mobile stations
can determine when their turn comes up.
TDMA EVOLUTION
Main Features
Shares single carrier frequency with multiple
users.
2. It is subjected to multipath
distortion. A signal coming
from a tower to a handset
might come from any one of
several directions. It might
have bounced off several
different buildings before
arriving.

Potentially larger capacity (more users can communicate simultaneously)
If users don’t use the medium all the time (e.g., they are just reading e-
mail), CDMA will allow much more users to communicate
simultaneously. In other words, CDMA will use the resource (the radio
spectrum) more efficiently.
Provides larger spread spectrum, thus more robust against noise bursts and
multipath frequency selective fading
GSM bandwidth = 200 kHz
IS-95 bandwidth = 1.25 MHz
W-CDMA (3G) bandwidth = 10MHz
The transition from one BS to another (handoff) is not abrupt, as in TDMA, and
provides better quality
No absolute limit on the number of users
Easy addition of more users
Impossible for hackers to decipher the code sent
Better signal quality
