General Information
The goal of this course is to provide the basic understanding
of dimensioning and performance of mobile
communications systems.
The current mobile communications system standards as
well as the ones being developed are also studied, preparing
students to understand the structure, functionality and
dimensioning of these systems.
Learning outcomes: Upon completing the required
coursework, the student will be able to determine and fit the
values of the main parameters for modern mobile
telecommunication systems network planning. The course
gives skills to describe mobility management, adaptive
resource control and dynamic resource allocation in mobile
networks..

Brief History of Communications


Early times (ancient times 1800)
Cryptography was already used on 7th century BC
Scytale cipher was by the Spartans and the ancient Greeks who
used it to transport battle information between generals.
Encryption: The scytale encryption system used two wooden rods
with equal radii, where the radius of the rod is the key.
A messenger winds a strip of leather around the rod, then he writes
the message going across the rod.
E.g., Secret message "Help me I am under attack
Message on the rod

Ciphered message: HENTEIDTLAEAPMRCMUAK after unwinding.

Mobile Cellular Era (cont.)
3G: Digital cellular communications
The following standards are typically branded 3G:
1) The UMTS system, first offered in 2001, standardized by 3GPP, used primarily in
Europe, Japan, China (however with a different radio interface) and other regions
predominated by GSM 2G system infrastructure. The cell phones are typically UMTS
and GSM hybrids. Several radio interfaces are offered, sharing the same
infrastructure:
- The original and most widespread radio interface is called W-CDMA.
- The TD-SCDMA radio interface was commercialized in 2009 and is only
offered in China.
- The latest UMTS release, HSPA+, can provide peak data rates up to 56 Mbit/s
in the DL in theory (28 Mbit/s in existing services) and 22 Mbit/s in the UL.
2) The CDMA2000 system, first offered in 2002, standardized by 3GPP2, used
especially in North America and South Korea, sharing infrastructure with the IS-95
2G standard. The cell phones are typically CDMA2000 and IS-95 hybrids. The latest
release EVDO Rev B offers peak
rates of 14.7 Mbit/s downstream.

4G: Digital cellular communications
Definition: 4G is the fourth generation of cellular
wireless standards.
In 2009, the ITU-R organization specified the IMTAdvanced (International Mobile Telecommunications
Advanced) requirements for 4G standards, setting
peak speed requirements for 4G service at
- 100 Mbit/s for high mobility communication (such as from
trains and cars)
- 1 Gbit/s for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians
and stationary users)

4G: Digital cellular communications
Based on an all-IP packet switched network.
Dynamically share and use the network resources to support more
simultaneous users per cell.

Scalable channel bandwidth 520 MHz, optionally up to 40 MHz.


Peak link spectral efficiency of 15 bit/s/Hz in the downlink, and 6.75 bit/s/Hz
in the uplink (e.g.,1 Gbit/s in the downlink should be possible over less than
67 MHz bandwidth).
System spectral efficiency of up to 3 bit/s/Hz/cell in the downlink and 2.25
bit/s/Hz/cell for indoor usage.
Smooth handovers across heterogeneous networks.

Ability to offer high quality of service for next generation multimedia support.

Long Term Evolution (LTE)
Seen as a 4G predecessor (also 3.9G)
LTE does not fully comply with the IMT-Advanced
requirements.
LTE has a theoretical net bit rate capacity of up to 100 Mbit/s
in DL and 50 Mbit/s in the UL if a 20 MHz channel is
used (more if MIMO (multiple-input-multiple-output)
technology is used.

Mobile Cellular Era (cont.)
Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A)
LTE is a candidate for IMT-Advanced standard (4G), formally
submitted by the 3GPP organization to ITU-T in the fall 2009, and
expected to be released in 2012.
The target of 3GPP LTE Advanced is to reach and surpass the
ITU requirements.
LTE Advanced is essentially an enhancement to LTE. It is not a
new technology but rather an improvement on the existing LTE
network.
LTE and LTE Advanced will also make use of additional spectrum
and multiplexing to allow it to achieve higher data speeds.
Peak data rates: 1Gbit/s (DL) and 500 Mbit/s (UL)

Current Trends (4/5)


Our planet is covered by a very dense grid of nodes providing
wireless connectivity. The grid is characterized by
Multiplicity / Heterogeneity / Diversity
Wireless/Mobile networks
Devices
Traffic/Contents
Services

A given communication-enabled node (e.g., mobile device, car, etc.)


will be always surrounded by a significant number of other nodes.
There exists a potential cluster to cooperate with.

Huge demands for increased


Traffic / Throughput / Bandwidth
Network capacity
Energy and spectral efficiency

Current Trends (5/5)


Cooperation and cognition are key fundamental principles
for future wireless networks.
Cooperative principles emerging across several segments
Cooperation could be
a) Embedded in the system, e.g., distributed
coding/diversity/antennas, network coding, etc.
b) Visible to the user (clear predisposition to cooperate aiming
at common and self benefits)

Cognition brings awareness on the surrounding wireless


ecosystems
a) Highly heterogeneous wireless networks
b) Many distributed resources are scarce
