Digital Audio Broadcasting Digital Audio Broadcasting 1. Evolution of DAB • The EUREKA-147 consortium was founded in 1987. • First equipment was assembled for mobile demonstration in Geneva in 1988. • In 1992, the frequencies of the L- and S-band were allocated to DAB on a worldwide basis. • The first consumer-type DAB-receivers were presented in 1995 in Berlin. • An extensive testing program has been carried out from 1994 until 1997 by the American "Electronics Industries Association" (EIA). • Totally 6 candidate systems were tested. Fig 1. Evolution of DAB Receivers • Conclusions: "Of all systems tested, only the EUREKA-147 DAB system offers the audio quality and signal robustness performance that listeners would expect a new DAR (Digital Audio Radio) service".

Mahmud 3 The FHSS Technology FHSS is a method of transmitting signals by rapidly switching channels, using a pseudorandom sequence known to both the transmitter and receiver. FHSS offers three main advantages over a fixed- frequency transmission: Resistant to narrowband interference. Difficult to intercept. An eavesdropper would only be able to intercept the transmission if they knew the pseudorandom sequence. Can share a frequency band with many types of conventional transmissions with minimal interference. Spread Spectrum and Wi-Fi Basics by Syed M. Mahmud 4 The FHSS Technology If the hop sequence of two transmitters are different and never transmit the same frequency at the same time, then there will be no interference among them. A hopping code determines the frequencies the radio will transmit and in which order. A set of hopping codes that never use the same frequencies at the same time are considered orthogonal .

One of the key changes incorporated in the multiple channel access techniques is the choice of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) for the air interface. This paper presents a survey of various multiple channel access schemes for 4G networks and explains the importance of these schemes for the improvement of spectral efficiencies of digital radio links. The paper also discusses about the use of Multiple Input/Multiple Output (MIMO) techniques to improve signal reception and to combat the effects of multipath fading. A comparative performance analysis of different multiple access schemes such as Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), FDMA, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) & Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) is made vis-à-vis design parameters to highlight the advantages and limitations of these schemes. Finally simulation results of implementing some access schemes in MATLAB are provided. I. INTRODUCTION 4G (also known as Beyond 3G), an abbreviation of Fourth-Generation, is used for describing the next complete evolution in wireless communications. A 4G system will be a complete replacement for current networks and will be able to provide a comprehensive and secure IP solution. Here, voice, data, and streamed multimedia can be given to users on an "Anytime, Anywhere" basis, and at much higher data rates than the previous generations [1], [2], [3].

The “Over the past 20 cause of this confusion stems mostly from the complexity of the interplay of the technical factors involved, as well as years, the IEEE the widely different Wi-Fi transmission environments – especially in indoor environments.

Over the 20 years of its development, the IEEE 802.11 standard has provided for increasing levels of transmission speeds, but disappointing results in practical use have led to more emphasis on capacity.

    CS311: DATA COMMUNICATION Multiplexing by Dr. Manas Khatua Assistant Professor Dept. of CSE IIT Jodhpur E-mail: [email protected] Web: http://home.iitj.ac.in/~manaskhatua http://manaskhatua.github.io/ Outline of the Lecture • What is Multiplexing and why is it used ? • Basic concepts of Multiplexing • Types of Multiplexing: Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) . Synchronous . Asynchronous Inverse TDM 24-09-2017 Dr. Manas Khatua 2 Introduction • To make efficient use of high-speed telecommunications lines, some form of multiplexing is used. • Multiplexing allows several transmission sources to share a larger transmission capacity. • Most individual data communicating devices typically require modest data rate, but the media usually has much higher bandwidth. • Two communicating stations do not utilize the full capacity of a data link. • The higher the data rate, the most cost effective is the transmission facility. 24-09-2017 Dr. Manas Khatua 3 Cont… • When the bandwidth of a medium is greater than individual signals to be transmitted through the channel, a medium can be shared by more than one channel of signals by using Multiplexing. • For efficiency, the channel capacity can be shared among a number of communicating stations. • Most common use of multiplexing is in long-haul communication using coaxial cable, microwave and optical fibre. 24-09-2017 Dr. Manas Khatua 4 Basic Concept • A device known as Multiplexer (MUX) combines ‘n’ channels for transmission through a single medium or link. • At the other end a De-multiplexer (DEMUX) is used to separate out the ‘n’ channels. 24-09-2017 Dr.
