  32. System Performance Equaliser vs RAKE (Mode 5 & 7) Mode 5 (267Mbps) Mode 7 (533Mbps) • RAKE receiver performance is ISI-limited (cannot achieve 8% FER however short the link distance is) • Performance gap widens when channel delay spread increases and Eb/No requirement increases (as in Mode 7) Francois Chin, Madhukumar, Xiaoming Peng, Sivanand, I2R

  34. Simultaneously Operating Piconets • All reference and interference links are normalised to unit energy • Reference link distance (dref) was half the 8% PER distance (notionally giving 6 dB margin) • Interfering link distance (dint) was varied from 8* dref to dref /8 • Measure PER as a function of the ratio of dint to dref Francois Chin, Madhukumar, Xiaoming Peng, Sivanand, I2R

  35.

When N=2, channel 6&11 will be used for 1st and 2nd interference links for first SOP interference scenario; channel 7&12 for second SOP interference scenario, etc Francois Chin, Madhukumar, Xiaoming Peng, Sivanand, I2R

  36. Simultaneously Operating PiconetsEffect of TF Hopping Sequence Collision 5 collision patterns • '1 x N' - desired piconet has full collision (from all SOP) in only 1 specific subband • 'B x 1' - desired piconet has at most one collision in each sub-band • 'B x N' - desired piconet has full collisions in all subbands (worst case) • 'B x 1/2' - desired piconet has “1/2” collision (by ringing down subband transmitted one PRI earlier in another SOP) in all subbands • 'B x 1/3' - desired piconet has “1/3” collision (by ringing down subband transmitted two PRI earlier in another SOP) in all subbands '1 x N' Piconet # ‘B x 1' Piconet # Francois Chin, Madhukumar, Xiaoming Peng, Sivanand, I2R

  42. SOP – Performance Analysis • # interfering SOP • Performance gets worse when # interfering SOP increases • Equaliser vs RAKE • Considerable performance gap • 5x difference in dint/dref for CM1,CM2 • 3x difference in dint/dref for CM3,CM4 • Each sub-band equaliser can suppress self-interference due to same sub-band • Each sub-band equaliser can suppress upto 3 simultaneously operating piconets (SOP) interferers using the same sub-band • Effect of TF Hopping Sequence collision • ‘B x N’ worst performance • ‘1 x N’, ‘B x 1’, ‘B x 1/2 ‘ similar performance • ‘B x 1/3’ > ‘1 x N’, ‘B x 1’, ‘B x 1/2‘ > ‘B x N’ Francois Chin, Madhukumar, Xiaoming Peng, Sivanand, I2R

  43. SOP performance analysis– impact on system design • Adaptive equaliser • Activate adaptive multi-channel equalisation algorithm in the presence of SOP to improve performance • Choice of Time-Frequency Hopping Sequence • Avoid ‘B x N’ full collision from SOP in all subbands • Random Time-Frequency Hopping Sequence based on PNC’s ID is sufficient Francois Chin, Madhukumar, Xiaoming Peng, Sivanand, I2R

  44. Implementation Feasibility • The proposed multi-band approach is designed to reduce the complexity and power consumption • Re-use of same circuitry for different sub-bands leads to lesser silicon area due to non-overlapped timing between sub-bands • Shared LO, ADC, equalizer, etc.. • ADCs with lower sampling rate due for lower pulse rate, for lower data rate • reduction in number of bits requirement for ADC • 4-tap equalizer and ‘QMOK decoding/despreading processing’ allows the system to work satisfactorily even with four-bit ADCs Francois Chin, Madhukumar, Xiaoming Peng, Sivanand, I2R

  45. Scalability • Power consumption • ADC sampling rate is proportional to pulse rate, thus lower power at lower date rate • Data rate increases with the number of bands used in the transceiver, while system complexity remains the same • Simultaneous transmission in low and high frequency groups to double data rate • Increases the cost of transmitter and receiver due to the presence of a second local oscillator and an additional receiver chain Francois Chin, Madhukumar, Xiaoming Peng, Sivanand, I2R

  46. Coexistence Plans • Static control • Frequency band for the devices should be configurable through software based on the geographic locations • Dynamic control • UWB device will detect possible narrowband interference and avoid the corresponding bands • WLAN 802.11a bands • Respective bands are avoided • E.g: In Japan (4.9-5.25 GHz) in Europe/US (5.15-5.825 GHz) Francois Chin, Madhukumar, Xiaoming Peng, Sivanand, I2R

  47. Narrowband Interference Plans • Sub-bands should be scanned periodically to detect narrowband interference • Rely on adjacent channel rejection of filters + receiver signal processing (e.g. multi-channel equaliser) to overcome • Robust RF front end design • Antenna • Filters • Component linearity requirements Francois Chin, Madhukumar, Xiaoming Peng, Sivanand, I2R

  48. Flexibility • Individual devices are adapted to interference without coordination with other devices • Easy adaptation for different regulatory environments • Simply avoid the affected sub-band within geographical area Francois Chin, Madhukumar, Xiaoming Peng, Sivanand, I2R

  49. Location awareness • Accuracy and precision of ranging using UWB devices • Is independent of “turn-around time” of the transmitter/receiver. • Can rely on sub-ns transceiver clocking circuits. • Is nearly independent of chosen UWB pulse width. • Location information is calculated based on simultaneous exchange of two messages between devices • Time differences between sending and receiving messages are computed for both the devices • The physical distance between devices are proportional to the time difference Francois Chin, Madhukumar, Xiaoming Peng, Sivanand, I2R

  50. Summary • Features of I2R’s Proposal on UWB multi-band system • Spectrum flexibility • Adapting to different regulatory requirements • Coexistence with narrowband systems • scalability in terms of number of bands employed • Good performance with multipath and simultaneously operating piconets • Better interference suppression with the use of equaliser • Minimum performance degradation even with random time-frequency hopping sequence • Low power / complexity solution • Sampling rate and pulse rate proportional to data rate • Minimal MAC supplements Francois Chin, Madhukumar, Xiaoming Peng, Sivanand, I2R
