Advanced Phase Shit Keying Q BPSK (Binary Phase Shit Keying): bit value 0: sine wave bit value 1: inverted sine wave very simple PSK low spectral eiciency robust, used e.g. in satellite systems 10 1 Q 0 I 11 QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shit Keying): 2 bits coded as one symbol symbol determines shit o sine wave needs less bandwidth compared to BPSK more complex A 00 I 01 Oten also transmission o relative, not absolute phase shit DQPSK - Dierential QPSK (IS-136, PHS) 11 10 00 01 t
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) combines amplitude and phase modulation it is possible to code n bits using one symbol 2 n discrete levels, n=2 identical to QPSK Bit error rate increases with n, but less errors compared to comparable PSK schemes Example: 16-QAM (4 bits = 1 symbol) Symbols 0011 and 0001 have the same phase φ, but dierent amplitude a. 0000 and 1000 have dierent phase, but same amplitude. Q 0010 0011 a φ 0001 0000 I 1000
Hierarchical Modulation DVB-T modulates two separate data streams onto a single DVB-T stream High Priority (HP) embedded within a Low Priority (LP) stream Multi carrier system, about 2000 or 8000 carriers QPSK, 16 QAM, 64QAM (the newer DVB-T2 can additionally use 256QAM) Q Example: 64QAM good reception: resolve the entire 64QAM constellation poor reception, mobile reception: 10 resolve only QPSK portion I 6 bit per QAM symbol, 2 most signiicant determine QPSK HP service coded in QPSK (2 bit), 00 LP uses remaining 4 bit 000010 010101
Spread spectrum technology Problem o radio transmission: requency dependent ading can wipe out narrow band s or duration o the intererence Solution: spread the narrow band into a broad band using a special code protection against narrow band intererence power intererence spread power detection at receiver spread intererence Side eects: coexistence o several s without dynamic coordination tap-proo Alternatives: Direct Sequence, Frequency Hopping

FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) I Discrete changes o carrier requency sequence o requency changes determined via pseudo random number sequence Two versions Fast Hopping: several requencies per user bit Slow Hopping: several user bits per requency Advantages requency selective ading and intererence limited to short period simple implementation uses only small portion o spectrum at any time Disadvantages not as robust as DSSS simpler to detect

Cell structure Implements space division multiplex base station covers a certain transmission area (cell) Mobile stations communicate only via the base station Advantages o cell structures higher capacity, higher number o users less transmission power needed more robust, decentralized base station deals with intererence, transmission area etc. locally Problems ixed network needed or the base stations handover (changing rom one cell to another) necessary intererence with other cells Cell sizes rom some 100 m in cities to, e.g., 35 km on the country side (GSM) - even less or higher requencies
Frequency planning I Frequency reuse only with a certain distance between the base stations Standard model using 7 requencies: 5 4 6 5 4 7 Fixed requency assignment: certain requencies are assigned to a certain cell problem: dierent traic load in dierent cells Dynamic requency assignment: base station chooses requencies depending on the requencies already used in neighbor cells more capacity in cells with more traic assignment can also be based on intererence measurements
