17. Preface The major expectation from the fourth generation
(4G) of wireless communication networks is to be able to handle
much higher data rates, which will be in the range of 1Gb in the
WLAN environment and 100 Mb in cellular networks. A user, with a
large range of mobility, will access the network and will be able
to seamlessly reconnect to different networks, even within the same
session. The spectra allocation is expected to be more exible, and
even exible spectra sharing among the different subnetworks is
anticipated. In such a composite radio environment (CRE), there
will be a need for more adaptive and recongurable solutions on all
layers in the network. For this reason the rst part of the book
deals with adaptive link, MAC, network and TCP layers including a
chapter on crosslayer optimization. This is followed by chapters on
mobility management and adaptive radio resource management. The
composite radio environment will include presence of WLAN, cellular
mobile networks, digital video broadcasting, satellite, mobile ad
hoc and sensor networks. Two additional chapters on ad hoc and
sensor networks should help the reader understand the main problems
and available solutions in these elds. The above chapters are
followed by a chapter on security, which is a very important
segment of wireless networks. Within the more advanced solutions,
the chapter on active networks covers topics like programmable
networks, reference models, evolution to 4G wireless networks, 4G
mobile network architecture, cognitive packet networks, the random
neural networks based algo- rithms, game theory models in cognitive
radio networks, cognitive radio networks as a game and biologically
inspired networks, including bionet architecture. Among other
topics, the chapter on networks management includes
self-organization in 4G networks, mobile agent-based network
management, mobile agent platform, mobile agents in multioperator
networks, integration of routing algorithm and mobile agents and ad
hoc network management. Network information theory has become an
important segment of the research, and the
chaptercoveringthistopicincludeseffectivecapacityofadvancedcellularnetwork,capacity
of ad hoc networks, information theory and network architectures,
cooperative transmission in wireless multihop ad hoc networks,
network coding, capacity of wireless networks using
18. xx PREFACE MIMO technology and capacity of sensor networks
with many-to-one transmissions. Two additional chapters, energy
efcient wireless networks and QoS management, are also included in
the book. As an extra resource a signicant amount of material is
available on the books com- panion website at
www.wiley.com/go/glisic in the form of three comprehensive
appendices: Appendix A provides a review of the protocol stacks for
the most important existing wire- less networks, Appendix B
presents a comprehensive review of results for the MAC layer and
Appendix C provides an introduction to queueing theory. The
material included in this book is a result of the collective effort
of researchers across the globe. Whenever appropriate, the
reference to the original work, measurement results or diagrams is
made. The lists of references includes approximately 2000 titles.
Discussions and cooperation with Professor P. R. Kumar, of the
Coordinated Science Laboratory, University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign, had a signicant impact, espe- cially on the
network information theory material presented in the book.
Professor Imrich Chlamtac, of University of Texas at Dallas helped
a great deal with the material regard- ing bioinspired nets.
Professor Carlos Pomalaza-Raes, of Indiana-Purdue University, USA,
inspired the presentation on ad hoc and sensor networks. Professor
Kaveh Pahlavan of Worchester Polytechnic Institute, Massachusetts,
inspired the presentations of the WLAN technology. Dr. Moe Win of
Massachusetts Institute of Technology provided a set of original
diagrams on Ultra Wide Band Channel measurements. The author would
also like to thank Professor P. Leppanen, J.P. Makela, P. Nissinaho
and Z. Nikolic, for their help with the graphics. Savo G. Glisic

19. 1 Fundamentals 1.1 4G NETWORKS AND COMPOSITE RADIO
ENVIRONMENT In the wireless communications community we are
witnessing more and more the existence of the composite radio
environment (CRE) and as a consequence the need for recongura-
bility concepts. The CRE assumes that different radio networks can
be cooperating compo- nents in a heterogeneous wireless access
infrastructure, through which network providers can more efciently
achieve the required capacity and quality of service (QoS) levels.
Re- congurability enables terminals and network elements to
dynamically select and adapt to the most appropriate radio access
technologies for handling conditions encountered in specic service
area regions and time zones of the day. Both concepts pose new
require- ments on the management of wireless systems. Nowadays, a
multiplicity of radio access technology (RAT) standards are used in
wireless communications. As shown in Figure 1.1, these technologies
can be roughly categorized into four sets: r Cellular networks that
include second-generation (2G) mobile systems, such as Global
System for Mobile Communications (GSM) [1] , and their evolutions,
often called 2.5G systems, such as enhanced digital GSM evolution
(EDGE), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) [2] and IS 136 in the
USA. These systems are based on TDMA technology. Third-generation
(3G) mobile networks, known as Universal Mobile Telecommunica-
tions Systems (UMTS; WCDMA and cdma2000) [3] are based on CDMA
technology that provides up to 2 Mbit/s. In these networks 4G
solutions are expected to provide up to 100 Mbit/s. The solutions
will be based on a combination of multicarrier and space time
signal formats. The network architectures include macro- micro- and
picocellular networks and home (HAN) and personal area networks
(PAN). r Broadband radio access networks (BRANs) [4], or wireless
local area networks (WLANs) [5], which are expected to provide up
to 1 Gb/s in 4G. These technologies are based on orthogonal
frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and spacetime coding.

applications. Although 4G is open for new multiple access schemes,
the CRE concept remains attrac- tive for increasing the service
provision efciency and the exploitation possibilities of the
available RATs. The main assumption is that the different radio
networks , GPRS, UMTS, BRAN/WLAN, DVB, and so on, can be components
of a heterogeneous wireless access infrastructure. A network
provider (NP) can own several components of the CR infras- tructure
(in other words, can own licenses for deploying and operating
different RATs), and can also cooperate with afliated NPs. In any
case, an NP can rely on several alterna- tive radio networks and
technologies to achieve the required capacity and QoS levels, in a
cost-efcient manner. Users are directed to the most appropriate
radio networks and tech- nologies, at different service area
regions and time zones of the day, based on prole requirements and
network performance criteria. The various RATs are thus used in
a
21. 4G NETWORKS AND COMPOSITE RADIO ENVIRONMENT 3 complementary
manner rather than competing with each other. Even nowadays a
mobile handset can make a handoff between different RATs. The
deployment of CRE systems can be facilitated by the recongurability
concept, which is an evolution of software-dened radio [7, 8]. CRE
requires terminals that are able to work with different RATs and
the existence of multiple radio networks, offering alternative
wireless access capabilities to service area regions.
Recongurability supports the CRE concept by providing essential
technologies that enable terminals and network elements to
dynamically (transparently and securely) select and adapt to the
set of RATs, that is most appropriate for the conditions
encountered in specic service area regions and time zones of the
day. According to the recongurability concept, RAT selection is not
restricted to those technologies pre-installed in the network
element. In fact, the required software components can be
dynamically down- loaded, installed and validated. This makes it
different from the static paradigm regarding the capabilities of
terminals and network elements. The networks provide wireless
access to IP-based applications, and service continuity in light of
intrasystem mobility. Integration of the network segments in the CR
infrastructure is achieved through the management system for CRE
(MSCRE) component attached to each network. The management system
in each network manages a specic radio technology; however, the
platforms can cooperate. The xed (core and backbone) network will
consist of public and private segments based on IPv4 and IPv6-based
infrastructure. Mobile IP (MIP) will enable the maintenance of
IP-level connectivity regardless of the likely changes in the
underlying radio technologies used that will be imposed by the CRE
concept. Figures 1.2 and 1.3 depict the architecture of a terminal
that is capable of operating in a CRE context. The terminals
include software and hardware components (layer 1 and 2
functionalities) for operating with different systems. The higher
protocol layers, in accordance with their peer entities in the
network, support continuous access to IP-based applications.
Different protocol busters can further enhance the efciency of the
protocol stack. There is a need to provide the best possible IP
performance over wireless links, including legacy systems.

1900 2200 2400 2483 (c) Figure 1.3 (Continued ) Within the
performance implications of link characteristics (PILC) IETF group,
the con- cept of a performance-enhancing proxy (PEP) [912] has been
chosen to refer to a set of methods used to improve the performance
of Internet protocols on network paths where native TCP/IP
performance is degraded due to the characteristics of a link.
Different types of PEPs, depending on their basic functioning, are
also distinguished. Some of them try to compensate for the poor
performance by modifying the protocols themselves. In contrast, a
symmetric/asymmetric boosting approach, transparent to the upper
layers, is often both more efcient and exible. A common framework
to house a number of different protocol boosters provides high
exibility, as it may adapt to both the characteristics of the trafc
being delivered and the particular conditions of the links. In this
sense, a control plane for easing the required information sharing
(cross-layer communication and congurability) is needed.
Furthermore, another requirement comes from the appearance of
multihop com- munications as PEPs have traditionally been used over
the last hop, so they should be adapted to the multihop scenario.
Most communications networks are subject to time and regional
variations in trafc demands, which lead to variations in the degree
to which the spectrum is utilized. Therefore, a services radio
spectrum can be underused at certain times or geographical areas,
while another service may experience a shortage at the same
time/place. Given the high economic value placed on the radio
spectrum and the importance of spectrum efciency, it is clear that
wastage of radio spectrum must be avoided. These issues provide the
motivation for a scheme called dynamic spectrum allocation (DSA),
which aims to manage the spectrum utilized by a converged radio
system and share it
24. 6 FUNDAMENTALS between participating radio networks over
space and time to increase overall spectrum efciency, as shown in
Figure 1.3(b, c). Composite radio systems and recongurability,
discussed above, are potential enablers of DSA systems. Composite
radio systems allow seamless delivery of services through the most
appropriate access network, and close network cooperation can
facilitate the sharing not only of services, but also of spectrum.
Recongurability is also a very important issue, since with a DSA
system a radio access network could potentially be allocated any
frequency at any time in any location. It should be noted that the
application layer is enhanced with the means to synchronize various
information streams of the same application, which could be
transported simultaneously over different RATs. The terminal
management system (TMS) is essential for providing functionality
that exploits the CRE. On the user/terminal side, the main focus is
on the determination of the networks that provide, in a
cost-efcient manner, the best QoS levels for the set of active
applications. A rst requirement is that the MS-CRE should exploit
the capabilities of the CR infrastructure. This can be done in a
reactive or proactive manner. Reactively, the MS-CRE reacts to new
service area conditions, such as the unexpected emergence of hot
spots. Proactively, the management system can anticipate changes in
the demand pattern. Such situations can be alleviated by using
alternate components of the CR infrastructure to achieve the
required capacity and QoS levels. The second requirement is that
the MS-CRE should provide resource brokerage functionality to
enable the cooperation of the networks of the CR infrastructure.
Finally, parts of the MS-CRE should be capable of directing users
to the most appropriate networks of the CR infrastructure, where
they will obtain services efciently in terms of cost and QoS. To
achieved the above requirements an MS architecture such as that
shown in Figure 1.4 is required. Mobile terminal Managed network

protocol booster. A protocol booster is a software or hardware
module that transparently improves protocol performance. The

existing protocol adaptation techniques, such as protocol
conversion. A protocol booster is a
supportingagentthatbyitselfisnotaprotocol.Itmayadd,deleteordelayprotocolmessages,
but never originates, terminates or converts that protocol. A
multielement protocol booster may dene new protocol messages to
exchange among themselves, but these protocols are originated and
terminated by protocol booster elements, and are not visible or
meaningful external to the booster. Figure 1.7 shows the
information ow in a generic two-element
booster.Aprotocolboosteristransparenttotheprotocolbeingboosted.Thus,theelimination
of a protocol booster will not prevent end-to-end communication, as
would, for example, the removal of one end of a conversion [e.g.
transport control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) header
compression unit [13]]. In what follows we will present examples of
protocol busters.
27. PROTOCOL BOOSTERS 9 1.2.1 One-element error detection
booster for UDP UDP has an optional 16-bit checksum eld in the
header. If it contains the value zero, it means that the checksum
was not computed by the source. Computing this checksum may be
wasteful on a reliable LAN. On the other hand, if errors are
possible, the checksum greatly improves data integrity. A
transmitter sending data does not compute a checksum for either
local or remote destinations. For reliable local communication,
this saves the checksum computation (at the source and
destination). For wide-area communication, the single-element error
detection booster computes the checksum and puts it into the UDP
header. The booster could be located either in the source host
(below the level of UDP) or in a gateway machine. 1.2.2 One-element
ACK compression booster for TCP On a system with asymmetric channel
speeds, such as broadcast satellite, the forward (data) channel may
be considerably faster than the return (acknowledgment, ACK)
channel. On such a system, many TCP ACKs may build up in a queue,
increasing round-trip time, and thus reducing the transmission rate
for a given TCP window size. The nature of TCPs cumulative ACKs
means that any ACK acknowledges at least as many bytes of data as
any earlier ACK. Consequently, if several ACKs are in a queue, it
is necessary to keep only the ACK that has arrived most recently. A
simple ACK compression booster could insure that only a single ACK
exists in the queue for each TCP connection. (A more sophisticated
ACK compression booster allows some duplicate ACKs to pass,
allowing the TCP transmitter to get a better picture of network
congestion.) The booster increases the protocol performance because
it reduces the ACK latency, and allows faster transmission for a
given window size. 1.2.3 One-element congestion control booster for
TCP Congestion control reduces buffer overow loss by reducing the
transmission rate at the source when the network is congested. A
TCP transmitter deduces information about net- work congestion by
examining ACKs sent by the TCP receiver. If the transmitter sees
several ACKs with the same sequence number, then it assumes that
network congestion has caused a loss of data messages. If
congestion is noted in a subnet, then a congestion control booster
could articially produce duplicate ACKs. The TCP receiver would
think that data messages had been lost because of congestion, and
would reduce its window size, thus reducing the amount of data it
injected into the network. 1.2.4 One-element ARQ booster for TCP
TCP uses ARQ to retransmit data unacknowledged by the receiver when
a packet loss is suspected, such as after a retransmission time-out
expires. If we assume the network of Figure 1.7 (except that
booster B does not exist), then an ARQ booster for TCP: (1) will
cache packets from host Y; (2) if it sees a duplicate
acknowledgment arrive from host X and it has the next packet in the
cache, then deletes the acknowledgment and retransmits the next
packet (because a packet must have been lost between the booster
and host X); and (3) will delete packets retransmitted from host Y
that have been acknowledged by host X. The ARQ booster improves
performance by shortening the retransmission path. A typical
28. 10 FUNDAMENTALS application would be if host X were on a
wireless network and the booster were on the interface between the
wireless and wireline networks. 1.2.5 A forward erasure correction
booster for IP or TCP For many real-time and multicast
applications, forward error correction coding is desirable. The
two-element forward error correcting (FEC) booster uses a packet
forward error cor- rection code and erasure decoding. The FEC
booster at the transmitter side of the network adds parity packets.
The FEC booster at the receiver side removes the parity packets and
regenerates missing data packets. The FEC booster can be applied
between any two points in a network (including the end systems). If
applied to IP, then a sequence number booster adds sequence number
information to the data packets before the rst FEC booster. If ap-
plied to TCP (or any protocol with sequence number information),
then the FEC booster can be more efcient because: (1) it does not
need to add sequence numbers; and (2) it could add new parity
information on TCP retransmissions (rather than repeating the same
parities). At the receiver side, the FEC booster could combine
information from multiple TCP retransmissions for FEC decoding.
1.2.6 Two-element jitter control booster for IP For real-time
communication, we may be interested in bounding the amount of
jitter that occurs in the network. A jitter control booster can be
used to reduce jitter at the expense of increased latency. At the
rst booster element, timestamps are generated for each data message
that passes. These timestamps are transmitted to the second booster
element, which delays messages and attempts to reproduce the
intermessage interval that was measured by the rst booster element.
1.2.7 Two-element selective ARQ booster for IP or TCP For links
with signicant error rates, using a selective automatic repeat
request (ARQ) protocol (with selective acknowledgment and selective
retransmission) can signicantly improve the efciency compared with
using TCPs ARQ (with cumulative acknowledg- ment and possibly
go-back-N retransmission). The two-element ARQ booster uses a se-
lective ARQ booster to supplement TCP by: (1) caching packets in
the upstream booster; (2) sending negative acknowledgments when
gaps are detected in the downstream booster; and (3) selectively
retransmitting the packets requested in the negative
acknowledgments (if they are in the cache). 1.3 HYBRID 4G WIRELESS
NETWORK PROTOCOLS As indicated in Appendix A (please go to
www.wiley.com/go/glisic), there are two basic types of structure
for WLAN: (1) Infrastructure WLAN BS-oriented network. Single-hop
(or cellular) networks that require xed base stations (BS)
interconnected by a wired backbone.
29. HYBRID 4G WIRELESS NETWORK PROTOCOLS 11 (2)
Noninfrastructure WLAN ad hoc WLAN. Unlike the BS-oriented network,
which has BSs providing coverage for mobile hosts (MHs), ad hoc
networks do not have any centralized administration or standard
support services regularly available on the network to which the
hosts may normally be connected. MHs depend on each other for
communication. The BS-oriented network is more reliable and has
better performance. However, the ad hoc network topology is more
desirable because of its low cost, plug-and-play property,
exibility, minimal human interaction requirements, and especially
battery power efciency. It is suitable for communication in a
closed area for example, on a campus or in a building. To combine
their strength, possible 4G concepts might prefer to add BSs to an
ad hoc network. To save access bandwidth and battery power and have
fast connection, the MHs could use an ad hoc wireless network when
communicating with each other in a small area. When the MHs move
out of the transmitting range, the BS could participate at this
time and serve as an intermediate node. The proposed method also
solves some problems, such as a BS failure or weak connection under
ad hoc networks. The MHs can communicate with one another in a
exible way and freely move anywhere with seamless handoff. There
have been many techniques or concepts proposed for supporting a
WLAN with and without infrastructure, such as IEEE802.11 [14],
HIPERLAN [15], and ad hoc WATM LAN [16]. The standardization
activities in IEEE802.11 and HIPERLAN have recognized the
usefulness of the ad hoc networking mode. IEEE 802.11 enhances the
ad hoc function to the MH. HIPERLAN combines the functions of two
infrastructures into the MH. Contrary to IEEE802.11 and HIPERLAN,
the ad hoc WATM LAN concept is based on the same centralized
wireless control framework as the BS-oriented system, but insures
that MH designed for the BS-oriented system can also participate in
ad hoc networking. Both the BS oriented and ad hoc networks have
some drawbacks. In the BS-oriented networks, BS manages all the MHs
within the cell area and controls handoff procedures. It plays a
very important role for WLAN. If it does not work, the
communication of MHs in this area will be disrupted. Under this
situation, some MHs could still transmit messages to each other
without BS. Therefore, to increase the reliability and efciency of
the BS-oriented network, MH-to-MH direct transmission capability
can be added. However, this is restricted to at most two hops such
that this new enhancement will not increase the protocol complexity
too much. In the ad hoc networks, it is not easy to rebuild or
maintain a connection. When the connection is built, it will be
disrupted any time one MH moves out of the connection range. So, as
a compromise, the MHs could communicate with each other over the
wireless media, without any support from the infrastructure network
components within the signal transmission range. Yet when the
transmission range is less than the distance between the two MHs,
the MHs could change back to the BS-oriented systems. MH would be
able to operate in both ad hoc and BS-oriented WLAN environments.
Two different methods one-hop and two-hop direct transmission
within the BS-oriented concept will be considered. The rst method
is simple and controlled by the signal strength. The second method
should include the data forwarding and implementation of routing
tables.
30. 12 FUNDAMENTALS 1.3.1 Control messages and state transition
diagrams To integrate the BS-oriented method and the direct
transmission method, we dene some control messages: (1)
ACK/ACCEPT/REJECT used to indicate the acknowledgment, acceptance,
or denial of connection or handoff request; (2) CHANGE used by MH
to inform the sender to initiate the handoff procedure; (3) DIRECT
used by MH to inform BS that the transmission is in direct
transmission mode; (4) SEARCH used to nd the destination; each MH
receiving this message must check the destination address for a
match; (5) SETUP used to establish a new connection; (6) TEARDOWN
used for switching from BS-oriented handoff to direct transmission;
it will let BS release the channel and buffer; (7) AGENT used by
the MH whose BS fails to accept another MH acting as a surrogate
for transmission; (8) BELONG used by a surrogate MH to accept
another MHs WHOSE-BS-ALIVE request; (9) WHOSE-BS-ALIVE used by the
MH whose BS failed to nd a surrogate MH. Since a mobile host may be
in BS-oriented, one-hop direct-transmission mode or two- hop
direct-transmission mode, it is important that we understand the
timing for mode transition. Figure 1.8 shows the state transition
diagram. The meaning and timing of each transition are explained
below: (1) The receiver can receive the senders signal directly.
(2) The receiver is a neighbor of a neighbor of the sender. (3)
Neither case 1 nor 2. (4) The receiver can no longer hear the
senders signal; however, a neighbor of the sender can communicate
with the receiver directly. (5) The receiver discovers that it can
hear the senders signal directly. (6) The receiver can no longer
hear the senders signal, and none of the senders neigh- bors can
communicate directly with the receiver. (7) The receiver discovers
that it can hear the senders signal directly. (8) No neighbors of
the sender can communicate with the receiver directly. (9) The
senders original relay neighbor fails. However, the sender can nd
another neighbor that can communicate with the receiver
directly.

(10) Figure 1.8 Transition diagram for transmission mode. (10) The
handoff from one BS to another occurs. In Figure 1.8, we note the
following two points: (a) when a mobile host starts communication,
it could be in any mode depending on the position of the receiving
mobile host; and (b) the transition from the BS-oriented to two-hop
direct-transmission mode is not possible because the communicating
party cannot know that a third mobile host exists and is within
range. 1.3.2 Direct transmission Direct transmission denes the
situation where two mobile hosts communicate directly or use a
third mobile host as a relay without the help of base stations.
This section considers the location management and handoff
procedures when the MH moves around. These func- tions are almost
the same as the traditional ones. However, the system must decide
whether one-hop direct transmission, two-hop direct transmission or
BS-oriented transmission method should be used. When the sender
broadcasts the connection request message, both the BS and the MH
within the senders signal covering area receive this message. Each
MH receiving the message checks the destination ID. If the
destination ID matches itself, the transmission uses the one-hop
direct-transmission method. (If we allow two-hop direct
transmission, each receiving mobile host must check its neighbor
database to see if the destination is currently a neighbor of
itself.) Otherwise, the BS is used for connection. When the
destination moves out of the covering area, the BS has to take
over. On the other hand, when the MH moves into the covering range,
the receiver has the option to stop going through the BS and
changes to one-hop direct transmission.

ACK SEARCHmessageSEARCHmessage Figure 1.9 Using one-hop
direct-transmission mode. 1.3.3 The protocol for one-hop direct
transmission For one-hop direct-transmission mode, each case of
protocol operations is described in more detail as follows: 1.3.3.1
One-hop direct-transmission mode (1) The sender broadcasts a SEARCH
message. Every node in the signal covering range (including the BS)
receives the message, as shown in Figure 1.9. (2) If the receiver
is within the range, it receives the message and nds out the
destination is itself. It responds with the message ACK back to the
sender. (3) At the same time, the BS also receives the SEARCH
message. It locates the MH and sends the SETUP message to the
destination. For direct transmission, the destination receives the
SETUP message and sends the DIRECT message to BS. Otherwise, it
sends an ACCEPT message to the BS, and the communication is in
BS-oriented mode. (4) The sender continues transmitting directly
until the MH moves out of the covering area. 1.3.3.2 BS-oriented
Mode (1) The sender broadcasts a SEARCH message. If the receiver is
out of the covering range, it will not receive the message, as in
Figure 1.10. (It is possible that two-hop direct-transmission mode
can be used. This will be explained later.) (2) However, the BS of
the sender always receives the SEARCH message. It queries the
receivers position and sends the SETUP message to the destination.
(3) When the destination receives the SETUP message, it sends an
ACCEPT message to the BS.

continues by BS-oriented mode until the distance between the two
MHs is close enough and the receiver wants to change to direct
transmission mode. 1.3.3.3 Handoff out of direct transmission range
In direct transmission mode, when the destination detects that the
strength of the signal is less than an acceptable value, handoff
should be executed. The procedures are described as follows: (1)
The destination sends the CHANGE message to its sender. (2) As the
sender receives the CHANGE request, it will send out the SEARCH
message again. Then a BS-oriented mode will be used or a two-hop
direct-transmission mode, as explained later. 1.3.3.4 Handoff-BS to
one-hop direct transmission If the receiver detects that it is
within the covering region of the senders signal and the signal is
strong enough, it has the option of switching from the BS-oriented
mode to one-hop direct-transmission mode. Each step is described
below and presented in Figure 1.11. (1) The sender sends the SEARCH
message out. Then the one-hop direct-transmission will be
established. (2) After the sender receives the ACCEPT message from
the receiver, it sends a TEARDOWN message to the BS and breaks the
connection along the path. 1.3.4 Protocols for two-hop
direct-transmission mode Two-hop direct-transmission mode will
cover a wider area than one-hop direct-transmission mode. It allows
two mobile hosts to communicate through a third mobile host acting
as a relay. Therefore, each mobile host must implement a neighbor
database to record its current

neighbor of a mobile host is another mobile host that can be
connected directly with radio waves and without the help of base
stations.) Furthermore, we must handle the case when the two-hop
direct-transmission connection is disrupted because of mobility,
for example, the relay MH moves out of range or the destination
moves out of range. With one-hop or two-hop direct transmission,
the system reliability is increased since some mobile hosts can
still communicate with others even if their base stations fail.
However, we still limit the number of hops in direct transmission
to two for the following reasons: (1) The routing will become
complicated in three or more hops direct transmission. In multihop
direct communications, handling many routing paths wastes the
bandwidth in exchanging routing information, time stamps, avoiding
routing update loop, and so on. (2) Problems of ad hoc networks,
such as routing and connections maintenance, are more manageable.
(3) If we allow three-hop direct transmission, the number of links
in the air (at least three) not involving routing exchange will be
larger than the BS-oriented mode (always two). In the long run, the
battery power consumption will be more than the BS-oriented mode.
1.3.4.1 The neighbor database In two-hop direct-transmission mode,
each MH maintains a simple database (see Table 1.1) to store the
information of neighboring MHs within its radio covering area. Each
mobile host must broadcast periodically to inform the neighboring
MHs of its related information. For example, the neighbor database
of MH1 in Figure 1.12 is shown in Table 1.1. In the table, the
BS-down eld indicates whether or not the neighboring mobile host
can detect a nearby base station. A value True means that the
mobile host cannot connect to a base station.

Two-hop direct-transmission zone. 1.3.4.2 Two-hop
direct-transmission mode This situation applies when the sender and
destination are both within an intermediates coverage area. The
sender transmits the data to the destination through an
intermediate MH. The connection setup procedures are as follows
(see Figure 1.13): (1) If an MH is within the transmission range,
it receives the senders message. There are two cases: (a) when the
receiver nds the destination is itself, it sends the message ACCEPT
back to the sender; the connection will be the one-hop direct
transmission; and (b) if the destination is not itself, the mobile
host checks the neighbor database. If the destination is in the
database, it forwards the SETUP message to make connec- tion to the
destination. After the destination accepts the connection setup, it
sends ACCEPT back to the sender. (2) If the destination receives
many copies of SETUP, it only accepts the rst one. The redundant
messages are discarded. The other candidate intermediate nodes will
give up after timeout. (3) At the same time, the BS receives the
SEARCH message. It queries the MH and sends the SETUP message to
the destination. For direct transmission, the destination receives
the SETUP message and sends the DIRECT message to its BS.
Otherwise, the destination accepts the connection from the base
station. (4) The communication continues transmitting directly
until the transmission path is broken.

Handoff two-hop direct-transmission mode to two-hop
direct-transmission mode, one-hop direction-transmission mode or
BS-oriented mode If the destination or the intermediate node nds
that the strength of the signal is less than a critical value, the
handoff procedure is requested and executed at this time. The
system will try to nd another direct transmission path. If a direct
transmission path is not found, the BS-oriented mode will take
over. The handoff procedures are as follows: (1) The destination or
intermediate node sends the CHANGE message to the sender for
changing connection. (2) As the sender received the CHANGE request,
it reinitiates the connection by send- ing out SEARCH. The next
several steps are the same as in the initial connection setup.
1.3.4.4 How to solve the problem of BS failure The method is also
robust against BS failure in the middle of a connection. In Figure
1.14, when MH3 nds that its BS (BS2) failed, it performs the
following steps until its BS is alive again (see Figure 1.15 for
message ow). (1) MH3 broadcasts the WHOSE-BS-ALIVE message to the
neighbors. (2) If one MH, say, MH2, receives the message and its BS
is still alive, it records the sender ID and sends the BELONG
message back to the sender.

BS1 MH5 MH4 BS2 Figure 1.14 The BS failure problem. MH2 (agent) BS
MH3 ACK ACK Register AGENT BELONG WHOSE-BS-ALIVE Figure 1.15 MH
whose BS failed uses neighbor as an agent. (3) MH3 receives the
BELONG message and records MH2s ID. Then it sends the AGENT message
to MH2. (4) After the agent (MH2) receives the AGENT message, it
represents MH3 to register its location to its BS (BS1). (5) MH2
will now relay the information to and from MH3. When MH2 or MH3 is
leaving the others covering area, MH3 gives up the current agent
and repeats steps 14 to nd another agent. MH2 then removes the
registration of MH3 from BS1.

networks might be using a spatial notching (angle ) to completely
suppress antenna radiation towards the user, as illustrated in
Figures. 1.16 and 1.17. These solutions will be referred to as

42. 2 Physical Layer and Multiple Access In this chapter we
will briey summarize the signal formats used in the existing
wireless systems and point out possible ways of evolution towards
the 4G system. The focus will be on ATDMA, WCDMA, OFDMA, MC CDMA
and UWB signals [154]. 2.1 ADVANCED TIME DIVISION MULTIPLE
ACCESS-ATDMA In a TDMA system each user is using a dedicated time
slot within a TDMA frame as shown in Figure 2.1 for GSM or in
Figure 2.2 for ADC (american digital cellular system). Additional
data about the signal format and system capacity are given in
Tables 2.1 and 2.2. The evolution of the ADC system resulted in the
TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) universal wireless
communications (UWC) standard 136. The basic system parameters are
summarized in Table 2.3. The evolution of GSM resulted in a system
known as EDGE with parameters also summarized in Table 2.3. If TDMA
is chosen for 4G, the signal formats are further enhanced by using
multidi- mensional trellis (spacetimefrequency) coding and advanced
signal processing [54]. This is also combined with Orthogonal
frequency division multiplex (OFDM) and Multicarrier code division
multiple access(MC CDMA) signal formats described below. 2.2 CODE
DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS Code division multiple access (CDMA)
technique is based on spreading the spectra of the relatively
narrow information signal Sn by a code c, generated by much higher
clock (chip) rate. Different users are separated using different
uncorrelared codes. As an example, the Advanced Wireless Networks:

case can be a PSK signal of the form Sn = b(t, Tm) cos t (2.1)
where 1/Tm is the bit rate and b = 1 is the information. The
baseband equivalent of Equation (1.1) is Sb n = b(t, Tm)

performed if we use ( ) once again and bandpass ltering, with the
bandwidth proportional to 2/Tm represented by operator BPF( ),
resulting in D(Sw) = BPF[(Sw)] = BPF(cc b cos t) = BPF(c2 b cos t)
= b cos t (2.3) The baseband equivalent of Equation (2.3) is D Sb w
= LPF Sb w = LPF[c(t, Tc)c(t, Tc)b(t, Tm)] = LPF[b(t, Tm)] = b(t,
Tm) (2.3a) where LPF( ) stands for low pass ltering. This
approximates the operation of correlating the input signal with the
locally generated replica of the code Cor(c, Sw). Nonsynchronized
despreading would result in D ( ); Cor(c , Sw) = BPF[ (Sw)] = BPF(c
cb cos t) = ()b cos t (2.4)
47. 30 PHYSICAL LAYER AND MULTIPLE ACCESS In Equation (2.4) BPF
would average out the signal envelope c c, resulting in E(c c) =
(). The baseband equivalent of Equation (2.4) is D ( ); Cor c , Sb
w = Tm 0 c Sb w dt = b(t, Tm) Tm 0 c c dt = b() (2.4a) This
operation extracts the useful signal b as long as = 0, otherwise
the signal will be suppressed because () = 0 for Tc. Separation of
multipath components in a RAKE receiver is based on this effect. In
other words, if the received signal consists of two delayed
replicas of the form r = Sb w(t) + Sb w(t ) the despreading process
dened by Equation (2.4a) would result in D ( ); Cor(c,r) = Tm 0 cr
dt = b(t, Tm) Tm 0 c(c + c ) dt = b(0) + b() Now, if () = 0 for Tc,
all multipath components reaching the receiver with a delay larger
then the chip interval will be suppressed. If the signal
transmitted by user y is despread in receiver x the result is Dxy(
); BPF[xy(Sw)] = BPF(cx cy by cos t) = xy(t)by cos t (2.5) So in
order to suppress the signals belonging to other users (multiple
access interference, MAI), the cross-correlation functions should
be low. In other words if the received signal consists of the
useful signal plus the interfering signal from the other user: r =
Sb wx (t) + Sb wy(t) = bx cx + bycy (2.6) the despreading process
at receiver of user x would produce Dxy( ); Cor(cx ,r) = Tm 0 cxr
dt = bx Tm 0 cx cx dt + by Tm 0 cx cy dt = bx x (0) + byxy(0) (2.7)
When the system is properly synchronized x (0) = 1 , and if xy(0) =
0 the second compo- nent representing MAI will be suppressed. This
simple principle is elaborated in WCDMA standard, resulting in a
collection of transport and control channels. The system is based
on 3.84 Mcips rate and up to 2 Mb/s data rate. In a special
downlink high data rate shared channel the data rate and signal
format are adaptive. There will be mandatory support for QPSK and
16 QAM and optional support for 64 QAM based on UE capability,
which will proportionally increase the data rate. For details see
www.3gpp.com. CDMA is discussed in detail in Glisic [54, 55]. 2.3
ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXING In wireless
communications, the channel imposes the limit on data rates in the
system. One way to increase the overall data rate is to split the
data stream into a number of

Figure 2.6. In order to eliminate residual inter- symbol
interference, a guard interval after each symbol is used as shown
in Figure 2.7. An example of OFDM signal specied by IEEE 802.11a
standard is shown in Figure 2.8. The signal parameters are: 64
points FFT, 48 data subcarriers, four pilots, 12 virtual
subcarriers, DC component 0, guard interval 800 ns. Discussion on
OFDM and an extensive list of references on the topic are included
in Glisic [54]. 2.4 MULTICARRIER CDMA Good performance and
exibility to accommodate multimedia trafc are incorporated in
multicarrier (MC) CDMA, which are obtained by combining CDMA and
OFDM sig- nal formats. Figure 2.9 shows the DS-CDMA transmitter of
the jth user for binary phase shift keying/coherent detection
(CBPSK) scheme and the power spectrum of the transmitted signal,
respectively, where GDS = Tm/Tc denotes the processing gain and C j
(t) = [C j 1 C j 2 C j GDS ] the spreading code of the jth user.
Figure 2.10 shows the MC- CDMA transmitter of the jth user for
CBPSK scheme and the power spectrum of the transmitted signal,
respectively, where GMC denotes the processing gain, NC the number
of subcarriers, and C j (t) = [C j 1 C j 2 C j GMC ] the spreading
code of the jth user. The MC- CDMA scheme is discussed assuming
that the number of subcarriers and the processing gain are the
same. However, we do not have to choose NC = GMC, and actually, if
the original symbol rate is high enough to become subject to
frequency selective fading, the signal needs to be rst
S/P-converted before spreading over the frequency domain. This is

MC-CDMA scheme: spectrum of its transmitted signal. The
multicarrier DS-CDMA transmitter spreads the S/P-converted data
streams using a given spreading code in the time domain so that the
resulting spectrum of each subcarrier can satisfy the orthogonality
condition with the minimum frequency separation. This scheme was
originally proposed for an uplink communication channel, because
the introduction of OFDM signaling into the DS-CDMA scheme is
effective for the establishment of a quasi-synchronous channel.
Figure 2.12 shows the multicarrier DS-CDMA transmitter of the jth
user and the power spectrum of the transmitted signal,
respectively, where GMD denotes the processing gain, NC the number
of subcarriers, and C j (t) = [C j 1 C j 2 C j GMD ] the spreading
code of the jth user. The multitone MT-CDMA transmitter spreads the
S/P-converted data streams using a given spreading code in the time
domain so that the spectrum of each subcarrier prior to spreading
operation can satisfy the orthogonality condition with the minimum
frequency separation. Therefore, the resulting spectrum of each
subcarrier no longer satises the orthogonality condition. The
MT-CDMA scheme uses longer spreading codes in proportion to the
number of subcarriers, as compared with a normal (single carrier)
DS-CDMA scheme; therefore, the system can accommodate more users
than the DS-CDMA scheme. Figure 2.13 shows the MT-CDMA transmitter
of the jth user for the CBPSK scheme and the power spectrum of the
transmitted signal, respectively, where GMT denotes the processing
gain, NC the number of subcarriers, and C j (t) = [C j 1 C j 2 C j
GMT ] the spreading code of the jth user. All these schemes will be
discussed in details in Glisic [54].

Figure 2.13 MT-CDMA scheme. 2.5 ULTRAWIDE BAND SIGNAL For the
multipath resolution in indoor environments a chip interval of the
order of few nanoseconds is needed. This results in a spread
spectrum signal with the bandwidth in the order of few GHz. Such a
signal can also be used with no carrier, resulting in what is
called impulse radio (IR) or ultrawide band (UWB) radio. A Typical
form of the signal used in this case is shown in Figure 2.14. A
collection of pulses received on different locations within the
indoor environment is shown in Figure 2.16. UWB radio is discussed
in detail in Glisic [54]. In this section we will dene only a
possible signal format.

typical time-hopping format used in this case can be represented as
s(k) tr t(k) = j= tr t(k) jTf c(k) j Tc d(k) [ j/Ns] (2.11) where
t(k) is the kth transmitters clock time and Tf is the pulse
repetition time. The trans- mitted pulse waveform tr is referred to
as a monocycle. To eliminate collisions due to multiple access,
each user (indexed by k) is assigned a distinctive time-shift
pattern {c(k) j } called a time-hopping sequence. This provides an
additional time shift of c(k) j Tc seconds to the jth monocycle in
the pulse train, where Tc is the duration of addressable time de-
lay bins. For a xed Tf the symbol rate Rs determines the number Ns
of monocycles that
