2 Bandwidth Sharing in Multiple Access Channels assigned by central controller Random vs. Multiple Access

l Frequency Division Code Space • In multiple access, channels are assigned by a centralized controller - Requires a central controller and control channel l OFDMA Time - Inefficient for short and/or infrequent data transmissions l Non-orthogonal FD • In random access, users access channel randomly when they have data to send Frequency Code Space • A simple random access scheme will be explored in homework l Time Division Time • ALOHA Schemes (not on exams/HW) l Non-orthogonal TD • Data is packetized. Frequency Code Space • Packets occupy a given time interval l Code Division Time l Code cross-correlation • Pure ALOHA • Slotted ALOHA dictates interference Frequency – send packet whenever data is available – same as ALOHA but with packet slotting l Multiuser Detection – a collision occurs for any partial overlap of – packets sent during predefined timeslots packets (nonorthogonal slots) – A collision occurs when packets overlap, l Space Division (SDMA) – Packets received in error are retransmitted after but there is no partial overlap of packets random delay interval (avoids subsequent – Packets received in error are retransmitted l Hybrid Schemes collisions). after random delay interval. 7C29822.033-Cimini-9/97 9 10

Main Points

l Spread spectrum increases signal bandwidth above that required for information transmission

l Benefits of spread spectrum: l ISI/narrowband interference rejection by spreading gain l Also used as a multiuser/multiple access technique

l Multiple access: users can share the same spectrum via time/frequency/code/space division

l Random access more efficient than multiple access for short/infrequent data transmission
