L. et al. “A short tutorial on Wireless LANs and IEEE802.11” http://www.computer.org/students/looking/sum…/ieee802.html • Blankenbeckler, D. “An In troduction to Bluetooth” http://www.wirelessdevnet.com/channels/blue../bluetooth.htm

  4. Microwave Satellite Radio Infrared Line-of-sight Geosynchronous transponder Earth station Wireless LAN Cellular networks CDMA2000 GSM GPRS Bluetooth Mobile JetStream Gigahertz Terahertz Key terms

  5. Wireless and mobile computing technologies • Communications can be • Terrestrial Microwave • Satellite Microwave • Infrared • Cellular • Radio • Wireless LANs and WANs. • Devices include • laptop, palmtop, pocket computer, PDA (personal digital assistant), cell-phones, and other hand-held devices.

  6. Terrestrial Microwave • An example of directional wireless transmission. • A parabolic dish antenna is usually directed toward a receiving antenna in a line-of-sight configuration. • Characteristics • Frequency range: 2 - 40 GHz • Bandwidth: 7-220 MHz, Data rate: 1Mbps - 10Gbps • Applications • Long haul telecommunications (both voice and TV) • short point to point links (TV or data) • data link between LANs.

  7. Satellite Microwave • Geo-synchronous earth orbit (GEO) • 36,000km above the earth surface. 3 satellites can be used to cover the whole world. • Medium earth orbit (MEO) • within 6000 miles from Earth. More than 10 satellites to cover the planet. • Low earth orbit (LEO) • within 1000 miles from Earth. Few hundred satellites to cover the planet. Iridium, Teledisc, Globalstar.

  8. Infrared technology • Requires transceivers • Transceivers must be line-of-sight • Frequency range: 300GHz – 200THz • Data rate: 1-16Mbps • Applications: • LANs where no cabling required • short distance communication (within a room) • remote control (TV/Video)

  9. Broadcast radio • Generally omnidirectional • does not require a disk-shaped antenna • Frequency range • 3kHz to 300GHz • Data rate: 1-10Mbps • covers AM, FM, VHF and part of UHF band • Applications • Radio broadcasting (AM, FM, short waves) • data networks • Cellular networks • Main source of impairment • multipath interference caused by reflection

  10. Wireless communication networks • Wide area networks • Uses media from a telephone company • Cellular systems, Satellite systems, Pagers • Local area networks • Network within ones property • Wireless LANs • Personal area networks • Up to 10 meter coverage • Bluetooth technology

  11. Wireless wide area networks Target Applications • Metro/Geographical area • Ubiquitous public connectivity with virtual private networks 2G/3G Technology Characteristics • Licensed Wireless Spectrum • Multi-cell coverage for metropolitan/wide area mobility • Modest to high power output (200-1000mw) • 2G: 28-56Kbps  3G: 144Kbps-2Mbps TDMA CDMA GSM CDPD 3G UMTS CDMA 1X GPRS

  12. Cellular technology • 1G: Analog technology – eg. AMP (Advanced mobile phone system) • 2G: Digital narrowband technology – GSM, CDMA • 3G: Digital wideband technology – CDMA2000, W-CDMA Cell Optical fibre Mobile telephone switching office

  13. Wireless WAN technologies • Nextel • One transmitter covering a large area. 2-way radio dispatch service. Used by Taxis and public safety people. • Paging • One directional, point-to-point, character/ numerical based (display caller telephone number). • Cheaper and simpler than cellular phone service • I-Mode • Packet based wireless phone service. Offered by NTT DoCoMo in Japan. Audio and video over hand held devices.

  14. Wireless LAN Technologies CT2 UPCS DECT PHS Target Applications: • Building or Campus • Enterprise / premises advanced application voice & data network extension.
