1 Chapter 2 The Physical Layer 1 The Theoretical Basis for Data Communication Fourier Analysis Any reasonably behaved periodic function can be written as Fourier series. Bandwidth-Limited Signals How fast a signal can be transmitted depends on the bandwidth, general meaning of how much information can be carried in a given time period (usually a second) over a communication link, measured mostly by frequency range. Maximum Data Rate of a Channel 2 1

2 Theory of Data Communications The signal (for example, measured in volts) can be viewed as a) a function of time, g(t), or b) a function of frequency, G(f). Time-Domain Let g(t) denote the voltage on a wire at time t. A signal, g(t), is PERIODIC with period T if g(t+t)=g(t) for all t. A signal is DISCRETE if it only takes on a finite number of values. The FUNDAMENTAL FREQUENCY is the inverse of the period, f = 1/T, and is measured in cycles per second (Hz). 3 Frequency-Domain Analysis Any "reasonably-behaved" periodic function, g(t), can be written as a Fourier Series - that is broken up into components with different frequencies. The time, T, required to transmit a character depends on: a) the encoding method b) the signalling speed or BAUD RATE; that is, how many times per second the signal changes its value (voltage). Baud rate is not necessarily the same as bit rate. For example, if the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are used in a signal, then each signal value can represent 3 bits. 4 2

3 Bandwidth-Limited Signals A binary signal ( b = ) and its root-mean-square Fourier amplitudes. (b) (c) Successive approximations to the original signal. 5 Bandwidth-Limited Signals (d) (e) Successive approximations to the original signal. 6 3

4 Frequency-Domain Analysis Below we will only consider 2 voltage levels, so the bit rate is the same as the baud rate. Let b = bit rate (measured in bits per second (bps)). Then, it takes 8/b seconds to send 8 bits (one character). So, T = 8/b, and the fundamental frequency is b/8 Hz. A voice grade line is an ordinary telephone line and has an artificial cutoff frequency, fc, of about 3000Hz. So, the number of the highest harmonic that can be passed through is 3000/(b/8) = 24000/b. Note the highest harmonic has a frequency that is a multiple of the fundamental frequency (b/8) and the highest harmonic can have a frequency no more than 3000Hz. 7 Bandwidth-Limited Signals Relation between data rate and harmonics. 8 4

5 Maximum Data Rate of a Channel Noiseless channel: Nyquist s Theorem If the signal has V discrete levels over a transmission medium of bandwidth H, the maximum data rate = 2H log 2 V bits/sec Example: a noiseless 3-kHz channel cannot transmit binary signals at a rate exceeding 6000 bps (= 2 x 3000 log 2 2). Noisy Channel: Shannon s Theorem maximum data rate = H log 2 (1 + S/N) bits/sec H: bandwdith, S: signal power, N: noise power S/N (Signal-to-noise ratio), usually measured as 10 log 10 S/N in db = decibels, is called thermal noise ratio. 9 Physical Interfaces Physical layer is responsible for the generation, transmission, and receipt of binary data Generation and Receipt Conversion of data between binary and analog E.g. wire: voltage is applied +V means a 1 -V means a 0 0V means no data 10 5

6 Physical Interfaces +V t -V Physical Interfaces Errors in physical layer: Attenuation (reduced signal) Distortion (wrong signal) Influences to error: Type of Media Bit Rate Distance Finally, binary values are passed to Data Link 12 6

7 Guided Transmission Data Magnetic Media Twisted Pair Coaxial Cable Fiber Optics 13 Guided Transmission Data Magnetic Media: magnetic tape or removable media Consider an industry standard Ultrium tape It can hold 200 gigabytes. A box 60x60x60 cm can hold about 1000 of these tapes. Total capacity is 200 terabytes or 1600 terabits (1.6 petabits). The box can be sent to anywhere in US in 24 hours. The effect bandwidth is 1600 terabits/86,400 sec, or 19 Gbps. If it is sent within an hour drive, the bandwidth is increased to over 400 Gbps. No computer network can even approach this. 14 7

8 Twisted Pair Properties A twisted pair consists of two insulated copper wires. Why twisted? Countervail the magnetic field Used in telephone and local area networking Run several kilometers The bandwidth depends on the thickness of the wire and distance travelled. Common types: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Category 3: bandwidth of 16 MHz Category 5: more twists per centimeter, which results in less crosstalk and better-quality signal over longer distance, bandwidth of 100 MHz Category 6 and 7: 250 MHz and 600 MHz 15 Twisted Pair (a) Category 3 UTP.

If the fiber s diameter is reduced to a few wavelength of light, the light can propagate in a straight line without bouncing, yielding a single-mode fiber. 50 Gbps for 100 km 19 Fiber Optics (a) Three examples of a light ray from inside a silica fiber impinging on the air/silica boundary at different angles.

14 Wireless Transmission The Electromagnetic Spectrum Radio Transmission Microwave Transmission Infrared and Millimeter Waves Lightwave Transmission 27 Wireless Transmission λf = c where λ is the wavelength, f is the frequency, and c is the speed of light, 3 x 10 8 m/s Two basic modulation techniques used in spread spectrum signal transmission: Frequency hopping: The transmitter hops from frequency to frequency. Direct sequence: The signal is spread over a wide frequency band with specific coding for each channel. The stream of information to be transmitted is divided into small pieces, each of which is allocated across to a frequency channel across the spectrum. A data signal at the point of transmission is combined with a higher data-rate bit sequence (also known as a chipping code)

15 Electromagnetic spectrum LF (Low Frequency, 10 5 Hz): maritime MF (Medium Frequency, 10 6 Hz): AM radio HF (High Frequency, 10 7 Hz): radio VHF (Very High Frequency, 10 8 Hz): FM radio, TV UHF (Ultra High Frequency: 10 9 Hz): TV, terrestrial microwave SHF (Super High Frequency:10 10 Hz): Satellite, microwave EHF (Extremely High Frequency, Hz) THF (Tremendously High Frequency, Hz) Higher frequency: IHF?, AHF?, PHF?

21 Satellites versus Fiber A single fiber has more bandwidth but is not available to most users. Satellites are possible for mobile communication. Satellites are cheaper for Broadcasting. Satellites can be deployed in places with hostile terrain or a poorly developed terrestrial infrastructure such as Indonesia. Satellites can be deployed in areas where obtaining the right for laying fiber is difficult. Satellites is possible for rapid military communication deployment. 41 Public Switched Telephone System Structure of the Telephone System The Politics of Telephones The Local Loop: Modems, ADSL and Wireless Trunks and Multiplexing Switching 42 21

22 Structure of the Telephone System The PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) is the world's collection of interconnected voice-oriented public telephone networks. It's also referred to as the POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). (a) Fully-interconnected network. (b) Centralized switch. (c) Two-level hierarchy. 43 Structure of the Telephone System A typical circuit route for a medium-distance call

23 Major Components of the Telephone System Local loops Analog twisted pairs going to houses and businesses Trunks Digital fiber optics connecting the switching offices Switching offices Where calls are moved from one trunk to another 45 The Politics of Telephones LATA (Local Access and Transport Area) is a geographic area covered by one or more local telephone companies, which are legally referred to as local exchange carriers (LECs). LEC (Local Exchange Carrier) is a public telephone company in the U.S. that provides local service. Some of the largest LECs are the Bell operating companies (BOCs). IXC (IntereXchange Carrier) is a company handling inter-lata traffic such as AT&T, MCI, and Sprint. A POP (Point of Presence) is a switching office built to handle calls from a LATA

24 The Politics of Telephones The relationship of LATAs, LECs, and IXCs. All the circles are LEC switching offices. Each hexagon belongs to the IXC whose number is on it. 47 The Local Loop: Modems, ADSL, and Wireless Transmission lines suffer from three major problems: Attenuation Delay distortion Noise The square waves used in digital signals have a wide frequency spectrum (usually, high frequency) and thus are subject to strong attenuation and delay distortion

25 Modems The use of both analog and digital transmissions for a computer to computer call. Conversion is done by the modems and codecs. 49 Modems The modulation is introduced to solve this problem. Amplitude: two different amplitudes are used to represent 0 and 1. Frequency: different tones are used. Phase: the wave is systematically shifted (45, 135, 225, or 315º). A modem (modulator-demodulator) is a device that modulates outgoing digital signals to analog signals

26 Modems (a) A binary signal (b) Amplitude modulation (c) Frequency modulation (d) Phase modulation 51 Modems The number of samples/symbols per second is measured in baud. In quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), the four angles, usually out of phase by 90, are used to transmit 2 bits/symbol. The bit rate is twice the baud rate. QAM-64 (Quadratrue Amplitude Modulation- 64) allows 64 different combinations, so 6 bits can be transmitted per symbol

27 Modems Constellation Diagrams: (a) QPSK. (b) QAM-16. (c) QAM Modems To reduce the chance of an error, standards for higher speeds modems do error correction by adding extra bits to each sample. The schemes are known as TCM (Trellis Coded Modulation). In V.32, 14,400 bps is achieved by transmitting 6 data bits and 1 parity bit per sample at 2400 baud. It uses QAM-128. In V.34, the modem can run at 28,800 bps at 2400 baud with 12 data bits/symbol or 33,600 bps at 2400 baud with 14 data bits/symbol

28 Modems (a) (b) (a) V.32 for 9600 bps. (b) V32 bis for 14,400 bps. 55 Modems Why are 56 kbps modems in use? The telephone channel is about 4000 Hz (300 ~ 3400 Hz). The maximum data rate = 2 x 4000 log 2 2 = 8000 sample/sec The number of bits per sample is 8, one for control purpose, allowing 8000 x 7 = 56,000 bit/sec. V.90 provides 33.6 kbps upstream and 56 kbps downstream. V.92 provides 48 kbps upstream

29 Modems A connection that allows traffic in both directions simultaneously is called full duplex. A connection that allows traffic either way, but only one way at a time is called half duplex. A connection that allows traffic only one way is called simplex. 57 Bandwidth, Baud Rate, Bit Rate The bandwidth of a medium is the range of frequencies that pass through it with minimum attenuation, usually, measured in Hz. The baud rate is the number of samples/sec made. Each sample sends one symbol. The bit rate is the amount of information sent over the channel and is equal to the number of symbols/sec times the number of bits/symbol

30 Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) xdsl is made to work by connecting to a different switch instead of the filter that attenuates all frequencies below 300 Hz and above 3400 Hz. The xdsl services have been designed with the following goals: They must work over the existing category 3 twisted pair local loops. They must not affect existing telephones and fax machines. They must be faster than 56 kbps. They must be always on. 59 Digital Subscriber Lines Bandwidth versus distanced over category 3 UTP for DSL

31 Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) DMT (Discrete MultiTone) divides the 1.1 MHz spectrum available on the local loop into 256 independent channels of Hz each. Channel 0: POTS Channel 1-5: not used One for upstream and one for downstream control 32 channels for upstream and rest for downstream The ADSL standard (ANSI T1.413 and ITU G.992.1) allows speeds of 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream. 61 Digital Subscriber Lines Operation of ADSL using discrete multitone modulation

32 Digital Subscriber Lines A typical ADSL equipment configuration. 63 Wireless Local Loops Business practice of a long-distance telephone company for the local phone service: It must buy or lease a building for the end office. It must fill the end office with switches. It must run a fiber between the end office and the toll office. It must acquire customer. How is the new local phone company to connect customer telephones and computers in the end office? Buy the right to lay the new wires. Costly Buy/lease from other local phone company. Costly Use the WWL (Wireless Local Loop)

33 Wireless Local Loops A fixed telephone using a wireless local loop is different from a mobile phone in three ways: The wireless local loop customer often wants high-speed Internet connectivity. A directional antenna is needs to be installed. The user does not move. LMDS (Local Multipoint Distribution System) is a system for broadband microwave wireless transmission direct from a local antenna to homes and businesses within a line-of-sight radius, a solution to the so-called last-mile technology problem of economically bringing high-bandwidth services to users. The IEEE can be used for wireless local loops standard. 65 Wireless Local Loops Architecture of an LMDS system

34 Trunks and Multiplexing Two categories of multiplexing schemes are used to multiplex many conversations over a single physical trunk: In FDM (Frequency Division multiplexing), the frequency spectrum is divided into frequency bands. For fiber optic channels, WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is used. In TDM (Time Division Multiplexing), the entire bandwidth is used for a chunk of time period. 67 Frequency Division Multiplexing (a) The original bandwidths. (b) The bandwidths raised in frequency. (b) The multiplexed channel

35 Wavelength Division Multiplexing Wavelength division multiplexing. 69 Time Division Multiplexing The analog signals are digitalized by a device called a codec (coder-decoder) producing a 7 or 8 bit number. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is a technique to digitalize analog data. T1 carriers can handle 24 channels multiplexed together. 24 x 8 = 192 bits + 1 bit for framing = 193 bits/frame Since each analog signal must be sampled 8000 times per second, we must repeat this process every 1/8000 sec = 125 microseconds. So, the transfer rate on the T1 carrier is: 192 bits / seconds = Mbps. DPCM (Differential Plus Code Modulation) is a method, which consists of outputting the difference between the current value and the previous one, to reduce the number of digitalized bits, 70 35

36 Time Division Multiplexing The T1 carrier (1.544 Mbps). 71 Time Division Multiplexing Delta modulation

37 Time Division Multiplexing Multiplexing T1 streams into higher carriers. 73 SONET/SDH SONET (Synchronous Optical NETwork) is the American National Standards Institute standard for synchronous data transmission on optical media. SDH (Synchronous digital hierarchy) is the international standard for synchronous data transmission on optical media. The goal of SONET: Possible for different carriers Unify the U.S., European, and Japanese digital systems Provide a way to multiplex multiple digital channels Provide support for operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) 74 37

38 SONET/SDH Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) The full specification is larger than this book. It addresses both the framing and encoding problems. It multiplexes several low-speed links onto one high-speed link. 75 SONET/SDH SONET Frame Structure: (Synchronous Transport Signal-1) 9 x 90 = 810 bytes The first three columns are reserved for system management information. The first 9 rows contain the overhead. Overhead has multiple functions: across different links, specify voice channel, concatenation frames. The remaining 87 columns hold the user data, called the SPE (Synchronous Payload Envelope). The first column is the overhead for the sublayer. STS-N frame can be thought of as consisting of N STS-1 frames

39 Time Division Multiplexing Two back-to-back SONET frames. 77 Time Division Multiplexing SONET and SDH multiplex rates

40 Switching Circuit switching seek out a physical path from sender to receiver. An end-to-end path must be (conceptually) established before data is sent. Message switching no path is established in advance. The message is stored in the first switching office and forwarded later one hop at a time. Example: store-and-forward network Problem: No restriction of block size Packet switching place a restriction on block size, to allow packets to be buffered in main memory at the switching office. Advantages: Well-suited for interactive traffic Improved response time and throughput 79 Circuit Switching (a) Circuit switching. (b) Packet switching

42 The Mobile Telephone System First-Generation Mobile Phones: Analog Voice Second-Generation Mobile Phones: Digital Voice Third-Generation Mobile Phones: Digital Voice and Data 83 Politics and Issues of Mobile Telephones At first, the U.S. had a single mobile phone system. In Europe every country devises its own system. Then Europe learned from mistake and standardized on a single system (GSM). By then, the U.S. deregulated the standard. As a consequence, the U.S. has two major and one minor incompatible system. Mobile phone ownership and usage in Europe is far greater than in the U.S. A single system for all of Europe In the U.S. the telephone companies charge the mobile phone owners for incoming call to keep callers from getting nervous about using the telephone. The widespread use of prepaid mobile phones in Europe (up to 75% in some areas) and Asia

43 The Mobile Telephone System Every cellular system digital or analog is comprised of four parts. 1. Cells and cell sites (base stations) 2. Switching station ( mobile telephone switching office, MTSO ) 3. System operator and its local office 4. Cellular telephones 85 The Mobile Telephone System The heart of the system is made up of individual radio coverage areas called cells. Each cell is a self-contained calling area. Within the cell, a cell site is strategically positioned as a base station for receiving, sending and routing the radio signals of cellular phone calls. All cell sites are connected to the Mobile Telephone Switching Office (MTSO). It provides connection into the Public Switched Telephone network ( PSTN ) - the local telephone company. It provides other central functions, including call processing, traffic management, and transferring calls as a phone moves between cell sites

44 The Mobile Telephone System 87 The Mobile Telephone System Making a call When a cellular user makes a call from a cellular phone, radio signals are transmitted to the cell site. The cell site alerts the Mobile Telephone Switching Office (MTSO) switching station. The MTSO, in turn, provides an open channel ( frequency ) and connects the call to the Public Switched Telephone Network ( PSTN ). The PSTN put the call through to the number to be reached. This process takes the same amount of time that it takes to make a call from a land line phone

45 The Mobile Telephone System Receiving a call Once the MTSO receives a call, it searches for the correct cellular phone by sending out data over the radio waves. Cellular phones in standby mode continuously scan the radio waves being transmitted by the MSTO. If a phone hears its telephone number, it sends back a signal that informs the closest cell site of its Electronic Serial Number (ESN) and its telephone number (Mobile Identification Number or MIN). The cell site passes this information to the MTSO, where the ESN and MIN are verified and a channel (frequency) is assigned for the call. The cellular phone receives the message directing it to tune to the correct voice channel. The cell site makes the voice channel available, and the call is completed. 89 The Mobile Telephone System Hand-off is the transfer of a call from one cell site to another as the cellular phone moves through the service coverage area. The cell site warns the MSTO that the mobile's signal strength is falling below a predetermined level. The MTSO then alerts all cell sites bordering on the first one. They measure the mobile's transmitting signal and report back to the MTSO. The MTSO, which is programmed to select the site receiving the strongest signal, then switches the call from the weak cell to the strongest cell without interrupting the call

46 The Mobile Telephone System Roaming is a service offered by most cellular service providers that allows subscribers to use cellular service while traveling outside their home service area. When they are outside their home service area and come within range of another cellular system, the ROAM indicator on the cellular phone will light to show that they are in range. When they roam (operate outside their home system), their cellular phone will seek service from the same type of cellular system as the one they subscribe to at home. But if that type is not available where they are roaming, the phone will try to obtain service from the non-home-type system. A blinking light indicates a non-home-type system. There is an extra charge for calls placed while roaming. 91 Advanced Mobile Phone System (a) Frequencies are not reused in adjacent cells. (b) To add more users, smaller cells can be used

47 Advanced Mobile Phone System AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System) is the analog system (1G) first developed and used in the U.S. The AMPS system uses FDM to separate 832 fullduplex channels. 832 simplex transmission channels from 824 to 849 MHz 832 simplex receive channels from 869 to 894 MHz Each simplex channel is 30 khz wide. These channels are divided into four categories: Control (base to mobile) to manage the system (21 channels) Paging (base to mobile) to alert users to calls for them Access (bidirectional) for call setup and channel assignment Data (bidirectional) for voice, fax, or data (45 channels) 93 D-AMPS D-AMPS (Digital-AMPS) is the first digital version (2G) of AMPS. It uses the 800 or 1900 MHz spectrum. Each simplex channel is 30 khz wide. It is described in IS-54 and IS-136. It is also known as TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access). Several physical channels are located by dividing one frequency channel into several time slots. The advantage of TDMA is that several channels are colocated on one carrier frequency, so there are less transmitters required

48 D-AMPS Digital Advanced Mobile Phone System (a) A D-AMPS channel with three users. (b) A D-AMPS channel with six users. 95 GSM GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) is a digital voice or data cellular network used throughout the world. The European version of GSM operates at the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequencies. The North American version of GSM, called GSM 1900, operates at the 1900 MHz frequency. Each simplex channel is 200 khz wide. Connection rate is up to 9.6K bps American Personal Communications (APC), a subsidiary of Sprint, is using GSM as the technology for a broadband personal communications service (PCS)

49 GSM Global System for Mobile Communications GSM uses 124 frequency channels, each of which uses an eight-slot TDM system 97 GSM A portion of the GSM framing structure

50 CDMA CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is a standard using spread spectrum transmission (2G). The original CDMA standard, also known as cdmaone and still common in cellular telephones in the U.S., offers a transmission speed of up to 14.4 Kbps in its single channel form and up to 115 Kbps in an eight-channel form. It operates in the 800 and 1900 MHz bands. Each simplex channel is 1.25 MHz wide. It can carry data at rates up to 115 kbps. 99 CDMA Operation of CDMA: In CDMA, the input signals are digitized and transmitted in coded, spread-spectrum mode over a broad range of frequencies. In CDMA, each bit time is subdivided into m short intervals called chips. Typically, there are 64 or 128 chips per bit. Each station is assigned a unique m-bit code called a chip sequence. To transmit a 1 bit, a station sends its chip sequence. To transmit a 0 bit, the station sends the one s complement of its chip sequence

Data traffic exceeds voice traffic. 2. Design a lightweight portable device with versatile functions (telephone, music player, gaming device, digital camera, Web interface, and more). IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunication- 2000) network should provide High-quality voice transmission Messaging (replace , fax, SMS, chat, etc.) Multimedia (music, videos, films, TV, etc.) Internet access (web surfing, w/multimedia.)

52 Third-Generation Mobile Phones: Digital Voice and Data Two main IMT-2000 proposals (differences in coding methods): W-CDMA (wideband code-division multiple access) by Ericsson. W-CDMA can support communications at up from 384 Kbps to 2 Mbps A 5 MHz-wide channel is used. UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) is the system pushed by the EU. CDMA2000 by Qualcomm. CDMA2000 can support mobile data communications at speeds ranging from 144 Kbps to 2 Mbps. A 5 MHz-wide channel is used Generation Mobile Phones: Digital Voice and Data EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GMS Evolution) is GSM with more bits per baud. GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is a data service that can be layered onto D-AMPS or GSM. It allows mobile stations to send and receive IP packets. Each channel is 200 khz wide. Data rates of up to 115 kbps

53 Cable Television Community Antenna Television Internet over Cable Spectrum Allocation Cable Modems ADSL versus Cable 105 Community Antenna Television The head end is an amplifier to strengthen the signals. Cable television was initially called community antenna television. An early cable television system

54 Internet over Cable HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coax) system is a system with fiber for the long-haul and coaxial cable to the houses. Cable television 107 Internet over Cable The fixed telephone system

55 Spectrum Allocation Internet over Cable 5 42 Mhz: upstream channels 54 Mhz : downstream channels A 6 Mhz or 8 Mhz downstream channel is modulated with QAM-64 or QAM-256 for the high quality cable. With a 6 MHz channel and QAM-64, the net payload is 27 Mbps. For upstream, QPSK is used because QAM-64 does not work well when there is too much noise. The head end and amplifier are upgraded to CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System). 109 Spectrum Allocation Frequency allocation in a typical cable TV system used for Internet access

56 Cable Modem A cable modem is a device How cable modems work? Ranging: get the distance from the headend to get correct timing to fit in one or more minislots. Acquiring upstream channel, downstream channel, and minislot assignments: request minislots and wait for the acknowledge from the headend. Otherwise, retry. Sending packets to request an IP address. Establishing a secret key between the head-end and modem. Log in and provide its unique identifier over the secure channel. 111 Cable Modems Typical details of the upstream and downstream channels in North America

57 ADSL versus Cable Which is better, ADSL or cable? Theoretically, coax is hundreds of times more than twisted pair. But, the full capacity is not available for data users (See comment on Page 175). In practice, ADSL providers achieve about 80% of the bandwidth. Cable depends on how many people are sharing the cable. Being a point-to-point medium, ADSL is more secure than cable. The telephone system is more reliable than cable. Most ADSL providers offer a choice of ISPs (sometimes, required by law)
