Modulation: Convert digital data into a signal waveform to be transmitted over
the channel. . .
Baseband modulation: Transmitted signal at low frequencies
e.g. cables, hard-disks, . . .
Carrier/bandpass modulation: Transmitted signal at high frequencies
e.g. radio channels, . . .

Signal Waveforms and Modulation
A signal is an information-carrying function of time (discrete or continuous time)
A waveform is a continuous-time signal
Modulation: Map a discrete data variable I {0, . . . , M 1} into a waveform

Theorem (Optimality of the Matched Filter)
The optimal receiver lter is matched to the equivalent pulse p(t) and is
specied in the time and frequency domain as follows:
g
R,opt
(t) = p
MF
(t) = p
(t)
G

(f ) = P
MF
(f ) = P
(f ).
In terms of a decision on the symbol sequence {b[n]}, there is no loss of
relevant information by restricting attention to symbol rate samples of
the matched lter output given by
z[n] = (y p

Spectral Reuse
Due to its scarcity, spectrum is reused
BS
In licensed bands
Cellular, Wimax
Wifi, BT, UWB,
and unlicensed bands
Reuse introduces interference
Interference: Friend or Foe?
l If treated as noise: Foe
l If decodable (MUD): Neither friend nor foe
l If exploited via cooperation and cognition:
Friend (especially in a network setting)

MIMO in Cellular:
Performance Benefits
l Antenna gain extended battery life,
extended range, and higher throughput
l Diversity gain improved reliability, more
robust operation of services
l Multiplexing gain higher data rates
l Interference suppression (TXBF)
improved quality, reliability, robustness
