ELEC 5508 – Wireless Networks Part 2 – Data services Zainab Zaidi Network Systems Group NICTA Zainab.Zaidi@.au Consultation Time: Wednesday 4-6 pm Lab 730 EE Contents of Part 2 • Data services in cellular systems – GPRS/EDGE (with an overview of GSM) – HSP – LTE • 802 type wireless networks – WiFi 802.11 – WiMax 802.16 – Bluetooth – Zigbees Evolution of cellular data services (2G) • 2G systems (GSM/CDMAone or IS-95/PDC) – Narrowband and designed for voice – Circuit switched – 9.6 kbits/sec • HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data)* – Ready-to-use, bundling of channels for higher rate – 57.6 kbits/sec – Disadvantage: Channels blocked unnecessary • GPRS (General Packet Radio Services)* (mid 1990s, 2.5G) – Packet switching – Using free slots only – Upto 171.2 kbits/sec • EDGE (Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution)* – Adaptive modulation (8PSK instead of GMSK) – Upto 384 kbits/sec * Schemes are for GSM. IS-95 also supports similar data services Evolution of cellular data services (3G and beyond) • UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) – Idea was to develop universal system – Different target rates for different mobility scenarios – Common air-interface W-CDM • HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) (~2006) – Enhancement over WCDMA: higher order modulation, rate control, etc. – Upto 14 Mbits/sec – Backward compatible • LTE (Long-Term Evolution) – Telecom system for 2020 – Backward compatibility is not required – Higher data rates and lower delays are required at cell edges – IP based networks – OFDMA, MIMO WLANs – WiFi -IEEE 802.11 • Infrastructure mode
