1 Project = An Adventure : Wireless Networks Checkpoint 2 Checkpoint 1 Lecture 4: More Physical Layer You are here Done! Peter Steenkiste Departments of Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering Spring Semester Peter A. Steenkiste 1 Your first step Design Start forming groups! Peter A. Steenkiste 2 Outline What is an Antenna? RF introduction Modulation and multiplexing Channel capacity Antennas and signal propagation» How do antennas work» Propagation properties of RF signals» Modeling the channel Equalization and diversity Modulation and coding Spectrum access Typical Bad News Good News Story Conductor that carries an electrical signal and radiates an RF signal.» The RF signal is a copy of the electrical signal in the conductor Also the inverse process: RF signals are captured by the antenna and create an electrical signal in the conductor.» This signal can be interpreted (i.e. decoded) Efficiency of the antenna depends on its size, relative to the wavelength of the signal.» E.g. quarter a wavelength Peter A. Steenkiste 3 Peter A. Steenkiste 4 Page 1

2 Types of Antennas Antenna Types: Dipoles Abstract view: antenna is a point source that radiates with the same power level in all directions omni-directional or isotropic.» Not common shape of the conductor tends to create a specific radiation pattern» Note that isotropic antennas are not very efficient!! Unless you have a very large number of receivers Common shape is a straight conductor.» Creates a disk pattern, e.g. dipole Shaped antennas can be used to direct the energy in a certain direction.» Well-known case: a parabolic antenna» Pringles boxes are cheaper Peter A. Steenkiste 5 Simplest: half-wave dipole and quarter wave vertical antennas» Very simple and very common» Elements are quarter wavelength of frequency that is transmitted most efficiently» Donut shape May other designs Peter A. Steenkiste 6 Multi-element Antennas Directional Antenna Properties Multi-element antennas have multiple, independently controlled conductors.» Signal is the sum of the individual signals transmitted (or received) by each element Can electronically direct the RF signal by sending different versions of the signal to each element.» For example, change the phase in two-element array. Covers a lot of different types of antennas.» Number of elements, relative position of the elements, control over the signals, Peter A. Steenkiste 7 dbi: antenna gain in db relative to an isotropic antenna with the same power.» Example: an 8 dbi Yagi antenna has a gain of a factor of 6.3 (8 db = 10 log 6.3) Peter A. Steenkiste 8 Page 2

3 Examples 2.4 GHz Outline RF introduction Modulation and multiplexing Channel capacity Antennas and signal propagation» How do antennas work» Propagation properties of RF signals» Modeling the channel Equalization and diversity Modulation and coding Spectrum access Peter A. Steenkiste 9 Peter A. Steenkiste 10 Propagation Modes Refraction Line-of-sight (LOS) propagation.» Most common form of propagation» Happens above ~ 30 MHz» Subject to many forms of degradation (next set of slides) Ground-wave propagation.» More or less follows the contour of the earth» For frequencies up to about 2 MHz, e.g. AM radio Sky wave propagation.» Signal bounces off the ionosphere back to earth can go multiple hops» Used for amateur radio and international broadcasts Speed of EM signals depends on the density of the material» Vacuum: 3 x 10 8 m/sec» Denser: slower Density is captured by refractive index Explains bending of signals in some environments» E.g. sky wave propagation» But also local, small scale differences in the air density, temperature, etc. denser Peter A. Steenkiste 11 Peter A. Steenkiste 12 Page 3

4 Fresnel Zones Fresnel Zones Sequence of ellipsoids centered around the LOS path between a transmitter and receiver The zones identify areas in which obstacles will have different impact on the signal propagation» Capture the constructive and destructive interference due to multipath caused by obstacles Peter A. Steenkiste 13 Zones create different phase differences between paths» First zone: 0-90» Second zone: » Third zone: » Etc. Odd zones create constructive interference, even zones destructive Also want clear path in most of the first Fresnel zone, e.g. 60% The radius F n of the nth Fresnel zone depends on the distances d 1 and d 2 to the transmitter and receiver and the wavelength Ground Buildings Etc. Peter A. Steenkiste 14 Sketch of Calculation: Difference in Path Length Sketch of Calculation Fresnel Radios D 1 F D 2 D 1 F D 2 a 1 d 1 d 2 a 1 d 1 d 2 Difference in path length (a 1 is small)» D 1 d 1 F * sin a 1 But for small a 1 we also have» sin a 1 = tan a 1 = F / d 1 So D 1 d 1 = F 2 / d 1 Given D 1 d 1 = F 2 / d 1 and (D 1 + D 2 ) (d 1 + d 1 ) = * n (D 1 d 1 ) + (D 2 d 2 ) = F 2 / d 1 + F 2 / d 2 or Peter A. Steenkiste 15 Peter A. Steenkiste 16 Page 4

5 Propagation Degrades RF Signals Free Space Loss Attenuation in free space: signal gets weaker as it travels over longer distances» Radio signal spreads out free space loss» Refraction and absorption in the atmosphere Obstacles can weaken signal through absorption or reflection.» Part of the signal is redirected Multi-path effects: multiple copies of the signal interfere with each other.» Similar to an unplanned directional antenna Mobility: moving receiver causes another form of self interference.» Node moves ½ wavelength -> big change in signal strength Peter A. Steenkiste 17 Loss = P t / P r = (4 d) 2 / (G r G t 2 ) = (4 f d) 2 / (G r G t c 2 ) Loss increases quickly with distance (d 2 ). Need to consider the gain of the antennas at transmitter and receiver. Loss depends on frequency: higher loss with higher frequency.» Can cause distortion of signal for wide-band signals» Impacts transmission range in different spectrum bands Peter A. Steenkiste 18 Log Distance Path Loss Model Noise Sources Log-distance path los model captures free space attenuation plus additional absorption by of energy by obstacles: Loss db = L n log 10 (d/d 0 ) Where L 0 is the loss at distance d 0 and n is the path loss distance component Value of n depends on the environment:» 2 is free space model» 2.2 office with soft partitions» 3 office with hard partitions» Higher if more and thicker obstacles Peter A. Steenkiste 19 Thermal noise: caused by agitation of the electrons» Function of temperature» Affects electronic devices and transmission media Intermodulation noise: result of mixing signals» Appears at f 1 + f 2 and f 1 f 2 (when is this useful?) Cross talk: picking up other signals» E.g. from other source-destination pairs Impulse noise: irregular pulses of high amplitude and short duration» Harder to deal with» Interference from various RF transmitters» Should be dealt with at protocol level Fairly Predictable Can be planned for or avoided Noise Floor Peter A. Steenkiste 20 Page 5

6 Other LOS Factors Propagation Mechanisms Absorption of energy in the atmosphere.» Very serious at specific frequencies, e.g. water vapor (22 GHz) and oxygen (60 GHz)» Obviously objects also absorb energy Peter A. Steenkiste 21 Besides line of sight, signal can reach receiver in three other indirect ways. Reflection: signal is reflected from a large object. Diffraction: signal is scattered by the edge of a large object bends. Scattering: signal is scattered by an object that is small relative to the wavelength. Peter A. Steenkiste 22 Multipath Effect Example: 900 MHz Receiver receives multiple copies of the signal, each following a different path Copies can either strengthen or weaken each other» Depends on whether they are in our out of phase Changes of half a wavelength affect the outcome» Short wavelengths, e.g. 2.4 Ghz -> 12 cm, 900 MHz -> ~1 ft Small adjustments in location or orientation of the wireless devices can result in big changes in signal strength Peter A. Steenkiste 23 Peter A. Steenkiste 24 Page 6

7 Multipath: Random Delivery Rates Impact of Delay and Attenuation (1 Mbs) Peter A. Steenkiste 25 Peter A. Steenkiste 26 Impact of Delay and Attenuation (2 Mbs) Impact of Delay and Attenuation (5.5 Mbs) Peter A. Steenkiste 27 Peter A. Steenkiste 28 Page 7

8 Impact of Delay and Attenuation (11 Mbs) Peter A. Steenkiste 29 RSSI Impact of Delay on RSSI -75 dbm Tests -90 dbm Tests 5-95 dbm 0 Tests Delay (us) 30 Peter A. Steenkiste 30 Fading in the Mobile Environment Fading - Example Fading: time variation of the received signal strength caused by changes in the transmission medium or paths.» Rain, moving objects, moving sender/receiver, Fast: changes in distance of about half a wavelength result in big fluctuations in the instantaneous power Slow: changes in larger distances affects the paths result in a change in the average power levels around which the fast fading takes place Frequency of 910 MHz or wavelength of about 33 cm Peter A. Steenkiste 31 Peter A. Steenkiste 32 Page 8

9 Fading Channel Models Example Fading Channel Models Statistical distribution that captures the properties fading channels due to mobility» Fast versus slow fading» Flat versus selective fading Useful for evaluation of wireless technologies» Evaluation coding and modulation techniques: how well does radio deal with channel impairments» Network simulators: tend to use simpler channel models Models depends on the physical environment:» Nature of the obstacles in the environment» Mobility of the two devices» Movement in the environment Peter A. Steenkiste 33 Ricean distribution: LOS path plus indirect paths» Open space or small cells» K = power in dominant path/power in scattered paths» Speed of movement and min-speed Raleigh distribution: multiple indirect paths but no dominating or direct LOS path» Lots of scattering, e.g. urban environment, in buildings» Sum of uncorrelated Gaussian variables» K = 0 is Raleigh fading Nakagami can be viewed as generalization: sum of independent Raleigh paths» Clusters or reflectors resulting paths with Raleigh fading, but with different path lengths Many others! Peter A. Steenkiste 34 Selective versus Non-selective Fading Some Intuition Non-selective Fading Non-selective (flat) fading: fading affects all frequency components in the signal equally» E.g. when only line of sight Selective fading: frequency components experience different degrees of fading» Due to multipath» Region of interest is the spectrum used by the channel No multi-path and no fading No multi-path, but fading In multipath, how the signal on multiple paths interfere depends on wavelength (e.g. Fresnel) Different paths experience independent fading so which frequencies suffer will change over time Peter A. Steenkiste 35 Peter A. Steenkiste 36 Page 9

10 Inter-Symbol Interference Inter-Symbol Interference Larger difference in path length can cause inter-symbol interference (ISI) Suppose the receiver can do some processing:» Add/substracted scaled and delayed copies of the signal minus: Time Larger difference in path length can cause intersymbol interference (ISI)» Different from effect of carrier phase differences Delays on the order of a symbol time result in overlap of the symbols» Makes it very hard for the receiver to decode» Corruption issue not signal strength Peter A. Steenkiste 37 Peter A. Steenkiste 38 How Bad is the Problem? Assume binary encoding» Times will increase with more complex symbol» More complex encoding also requires higher SINR Some bit times and distances: Rate Time Distance Mbs microsec meter Wavelength at 2.4 GHz: 14 cm Peter A. Steenkiste 39 Doppler Effect Movement by the transmitter, receiver, or objects in the environment can also create a doppler shift: f m = (v / c) * f Results in distortion of signal» Shift may be larger on some paths than on others» Shift is also frequency dependent (minor) Effect only an issue at higher speeds:» Speed of light: 3 * 10 8 m/s» Speed of car: 10 5 m/h = 27.8 m/s» Shift at 2.4 GHz is 222 Hz increases with frequency» Impact is that signal spreads in frequency domain Peter A. Steenkiste 40 Page 10

11 Outline Remember: Representing a Channel RF introduction Modulation and multiplexing Channel capacity Antennas and signal propagation» How do antennas work» Propagation properties of RF signals» Modeling the channel Equalization and diversity Modulation and coding Spectrum access Typical Bad News Good News Story Communication is based on the sender transmitting the carrier signal» A sine wave with an amplitude, phase, frequency» Represented as a real value at a certain point in space and time Sender can send information by changing the amplitude, phase or frequency of the channel» Called modulation Time (point in space) Peter A. Steenkiste 41 Space (snapshot in time) Peter A. Steenkiste 42 Channel Model Power Budget 1. Transmits signal x: modulated carrier at frequency f T Radio 2. Signal is attenuated 3. Multi-path + mobility cause fading 5. Doppler effects distorts signal 4. Noise is added x x c + n = y R Radio 6. Receives distorted Signal y T Radio Receiver needs a certain SINR to be able to decode the signal» Required SINR depends on coding and modulation schemes, i.e. the transmit rate Factors reducing power budget:» Noise, attenuation (multiple sources), fading,.. Factors improving power budget:» Antenna gain, transmit power R Radio Rpower (dbm) = Tpower (dbm) + Gains (db) Losses (db) Peter A. Steenkiste 43 Peter A. Steenkiste 44 Page 11

12 Channel Reciprocity Theorem Reciprocity Does not Apply to Wireless Links If the role of the transmitter and the receiver are interchanged, the instantaneous signal transfer function between the two remains unchanged Informally, the properties of the channel between two antennas is in the same in both directions, i.e. the channel is symmetric Channel in this case includes all the signal propagation effects and the antennas Peter A. Steenkiste 45 Link corresponds to the packet level connection between the devices» In other words, the throughput you get in the two directions can be different. The reason is that many factors that affect throughput may be different on the two devices:» Transmit power and receiver threshold» Quality of the transmitter and receiver (radio)» Observed noise» Interference» Different antennas may be used (spatial diversity - see later) Peter A.
