FDM
• Frequency Division Multiplexing
– The deriving of two or more simultaneous,
continuous channels from a transmission medium
by assigning a separate portion of the available
frequency spectrum to each of the individual
channels.
• FDMA (frequency-division multiple access):
The use of frequency division to provide
multiple and simultaneous transmissions.
28/01/2003 2
• Transmission is organized in frequency
channels, assigned for an exclusive use by a
single user at a time
• If the channel is not in use, it remains idle and
cannot be used by others
• There are channeling frequency plans
elaborated to avoid mutual co-channel and
adjacent-channel interference among
neighboring stations
• The use of a radio channel or a group of radio
channels requires authorization (license)
– for each individual station or for group of stations

Intermodulation
• 2 or more signals, nonlinear circuit
• Intermodulation products: Fi = Σ CkFk
• {Ck} positive/negative integers or zero
• {Fk} frequencies of signals applied
• Order of Intermod. Product = Σ |Ck|
• 3rd order (2F1-F2, 2F2-F1), also 5th and 7th
28/01/2003 8
• Non-ideal wideband linear systems are frequently treated
by expressing the output (Y) of the system as a power
series:
Y = a 0 + a1 X + a 2 X 2 + a 3 X 3 +...+ a n X n +...
• where X is the total input signal, and the coefficients a
are presumed to be real and independent on X.
• Assume, for simplicity, that input consists of three
elementary signals:
X = A(t ) cos(ω 1t ) + B (t ) cos(ω 2 t ) + C (t ) cos(ω 3 t )

• Some simple calculations will show that the
output of the system Y, in addition to the linearly
transposed input signals, contains the following
spectral components:

TDM
• Time Division Multiplex: A single carrier
frequency channel is shared by a number of
users, one after another. Transmission is
organized in repetitive “time-frames”. Each
frame consists of groups of pulses - time slots.
• Each user is assigned a separate time-slot.
• TDD – Time Division Duplex provides the
forward and reverse links in the same frequency
channel.

SS: basic characteristics
• Signal spread over a wide bandwidth >> minimum
bandwidth necessary to transmit information
• Spreading by means of a code independent of the data
• Data recovered by de-spreading the signal with a
synchronous replica of the reference code
– TR: transmitted reference (separate data-channel and reference-channel, correlation detector)
– SR: stored reference (independent generation at T & R pseudo-random identical waveforms,
synchronization by signal received, correlation detector)
– Other (MT: T-signal generated by pulsing a matched filter having long, pseudo-randomly controlled
impulse response. Signal detection at R by identical filter & correlation computation)

Summary
• To illustrtae the nature of the multiple access techniques
consider a number of guests at a cocktail party. The aim
is for all the guests to hold an intelligible conversation. In
this case the resource available is the house itself
• FDMA: each guest has a separate room to talk to their
partner
• TDMA: everyone is in a common room and has a limited
time slot to hold the conversation
• FH-CDMA: the guests run from room to room to talk
• DS-CDMA: everyone is in a common room talkim at the
same time, but each pair talks in a different language
28/01/2003 47
Access Control to Radio Resources
• Distributed wireless networks (e.g. packet
radio, ad hoc networks) have no central
control.
• Centralized wireless networks (e.g.
WLAN, Cellular) control the use of radio
channel; various approaches exist
• Slotted systems (e.g. TDMA) require wide
network synchronization for use of
discrete time slots
28/01/2003 48
Packet Radio Protocols
28/01/2003 49
Packet Radio
• In packet radio access techniques, many
user attempt to access a single channel,
which may led to collisions.
• Protocols aim at limiting collisions
• ALOHA is the oldest, classic protocol,
developed in 1970 in Hawaii as an
extension of TDMA and FDMA
28/01/2003 50
ALOHA
• If 2 or more users transmit at the same time so that receiver
receives more than one packet, the receiver is unable to separate
the packets since they are not orthogonal in time (like in TDMA) or
in frequency (like in FDMA).
• The vulnerable period is the time interval during which the packets
are susceptible to collisions with transmissions from other users
Transmitter 2 Packet A
t1 T1+2
τ
28/01/2003 51
• In pure ALOHA, the vulnerable period is 2 packet durations. A user
transmits whenever it has a packet to deliver. If no acknowledgment
(ACK) is received, the user waits a random time and retransmit the
packet. The throughput is T = Re-2R , R being the normalized channel
traffic in Erlangs (Tmax = 0.184 at R = 0.5)
