Mobile Communications I Chapter 1: Introduction and History

Mobile communication Two aspects of mobility: user mobility: users communicate (wireless) anytime, anywhere, with anyone device mobility (portability): devices can be connected anytime, anywhere to a network User Device Eample No No Stationary Computer No Yes Notebook at fixed network e.g. in a hotel Yes No Terminals in a historic building Yes Yes Mobile Device (I-Pad, Smartphone) The demand for mobile communication creates the need for integration of wireless networks into existing fixed networks: local area networks: standardization of IEEE 802.11, IEEE802.15 Internet: Mobile IP extension of the Internet and transport-protocol IP and TCP wide area networks: e.g., internetworking of GSM, UMTS, HSPA and ISDN Chapter 1 Page 54

Vehicles (car-2-x) Applications I transmission of news, road condition, weather, music via DAB More and more also car-2-car in safety critical situations personal communication using GSM, UMTS position via GPS local ad-hoc network with vehicles close-by to prevent accidents, guidance system, redundancy (IEEE802.11p) vehicle data (e.g., from busses, high-speed trains) can be transmitted in advance for maintenance (HSDPA, HSUPA) Emergencies early transmission of patient data to the hospital, current status, first diagnosis (TETRA) LTE will be the radio-standard for these applications in future replacement of a fixed infrastructure in case of earthquakes, hurricanes, fire etc.(ieee802.11s, Cognitive Networks) crisis, war,... Chapter 1 Page 55

Typical application: road traffic Chapter 1 Page 56

Applications II Travelling salesmen (LTE, HSDPA, EDGE, GPRS, WLAN with VPN, GSM, UMTS) direct access to customer data e.g. contracts, stored in a central location consistent databases for all agents mobile office Replacement of fixed networks remote sensors, e.g., weather, earth activities(ieee802.15.4, IEEE802.15.4a) flexibility for trade shows (IEEE802.11n) LANs in historic buildings (all WLAN standards) Entertainment, education,... outdoor Internet access (HSDPA, LTE) intelligent travel guide with up-to-date (location dependent) information ad-hoc networks for multi user games (IEEE802.11s, Bluetooth) Chapter 1 Page 57

Location (context) dependent services Location aware services what services, e.g., printer, fax, phone, server etc. exist in the local environment Follow-on services automatic call-forwarding, transmission of the actual workspace to the current location Information services push : e.g., current special offers in the supermarket pull : e.g., where do I get the best Black Forrest Cherry Cake? Support services Caches, intermediate results, state information etc. follow the mobile device through the fixed network What s about Privacy and Security who should gain knowledge about the location Chapter 1 Page 58

Mobile devices Chapter 1 Page 59

Effects of device portability Power consumption limited computing power, SSD (Solid State Disk) due to limited battery capacity CPU: power consumption ~ CV 2 f C: internal capacity of a technology mode, reduced by higher integration V: supply voltage, can be reduced to a certain limit f: clock frequency, can be reduced temporally (due to the use of extremely high scaled technology C has a mayor influence on the total power consumption) Loss of data (reliability) higher probability, has to be included in advance into the design (e.g., defects, theft) Using data storage more and more as cloud storage limits this problem Limited user interfaces compromise between size of fingers and portability integration of character/voice recognition, abstract symbols Limited memory 128GB FLASH in tablets is currently possible alternatively other new types of non volatile storage Chapter 1 Page 60

Wireless networks in comparison to fixed networks Higher loss-rates due to interference and other mechanisms in wireless transmission emissions of, e.g., engines, lightning (only in lower frequency range up to 200 MHz) mainly interference with other users in the higher frequency range As a rule of thumb: BER (wired) 10-11 10-13 ; BER (wireless) 10-4 10-6 Restrictive regulations of frequencies frequencies have to be coordinated, useful frequencies are almost all (statically) occupied New approaches for cognitive radio is in research and development (overlay/ underlay approaches) Low transmission rates local >>100 Mbit/s, cellular currently up to 30 (HSPA+) In the new generation of cellular networks the speed difference between Local and regional will not play any more any role. E.G. LTE will support up to 100 Mb/s Higher delays, higher jitter connection setup time with GSM in the second range, several hundred milliseconds for other wireless systems Jitter and delay may impact the QoS (quality of service) but with LTE low latency services that will be as good as in wired networks Lower security, simpler active attacking radio interface accessible for everyone, base station can be simulated, Security is an important issue of research in wireless systems Always shared medium The capacity of a network is divided between the participants. This is a growing concern for the further development of wireless systems. Chapter 1 Page 61
