Multiple Access Techniques
EE442 – Spring 2017
Lecture 13
Multiple Access is the use of multiplexing techniques to
provide communication service to multiple users over
a single channel. It allows for many users at one time
by sharing a finite amount of spectrum.

Frequency Division Multiple Access
The available bandwidth is subdivided into a number of narrower band
channels. Each user is allocated a unique frequency band in which to
transmit and receive on.
Wavelength Division Multiple Access (WDMA) is a related to FDMA.
Wavelength is used in optical fiber communication systems to partition
channels. All wavelengths propagate within a single optical fiber.

Frames are used to allow the communication receiver to be able
to determine where each users data is locate within the bit stream
it receives.

GSM Cellular Uses Both FDMA and TDMA
GSM uses a combination of both TDMA and FDMA techniques. The FDMA
element divides the assigned frequency of 25 MHz bandwidth into 124 carrier
frequencies, all spaced 200 kHz apart. The carriers are also divided in time
using TDMA. Different users of each RF channel are allocated different time
slots (there are 8 time slots per channel).

GSM Cellular Example: Number of Users Supported by GSM
The uplink band in GSM has a total of 25 MHz of bandwidth and
each radio channel has an assigned bandwidth of 200 kHz. The
number of radio channels (FDMA) is

Actually, in practice GSM uses 124 channels (not 125 channels).
Each channel is divided into 8 time slots, so 8 users are allowed
per radio channel (TDMA). The maximum number of users is then

GSM also has a corresponding downlink band for sending signals to
the mobile phone. For GSM the uplink and downlink frequency
bands are 890 to 915 MHz and 935 to 960 MHz, respectively.

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) – I
The CDMA standard was originally designed by Qualcomm in the U.S.
and is primarily used in the U.S. and portions of Asia by other carriers.
Salient Features of CDMA:
CDMA is based on the spread spectrum technique
1. In CDMA, every channel uses the full available spectrum.
2. Individual conversations are encoded with a pseudo-
random digital sequence and then transmitted.
3. CDMA consistently provides better capacity for voice and
data communications, allowing more subscribers to
connect at any given time.
CDMA is the common platform on which 3G technologies are built. It
is used by Verizon, and Sprint .
A duplex method whereby the Uplink and the Downlink transmissions
use two separate frequency bands −
Uplink − 1920 MHz to 1980 MHz
Downlink − 2110 MHz to 2170 MHz
Bandwidth − Each carrier located at center in 5 MHz band
14
CDMA allows up to 61 concurrent users in a 1.2288 MHz channel by
processing each voice packet with its PN code. There are 64 Walsh codes
available to differentiate between calls. Operational limits and quality
issues will reduce the maximum number of calls somewhat lower than this
value.
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) – II
In fact, many different "signals" baseband with different spreading codes
can be modulated on the same carrier to allow many different users to
be supported. Using different orthogonal codes, interference between
the signals is minimal. Conversely, when signals are received from
several mobile stations, the base station is capable of isolating each
because they have different orthogonal spreading codes.
To continue with CDMA we next discuss spread spectrum techniques.

Spread Spectrum Techniques
Lathi & Ding
Chapter 12
pp. 714-730
Typical applications for the resulting short-range data
transceivers include satellite-positioning systems (GPS), 3G
mobile telecommunications, W-LAN (IEEEÂŽ 802.11a, IEEE
802.11b, IEEE 802.11g), and BluetoothÂŽ.
16
Why Use Spread Spectrum?
1. Reduced crosstalk and interference
2. Better voice quality/data integrity
3. Lower susceptibility to multipath fading
4. Much improved security with minimum complexity
5. Allows for co-existing signals over a wide bandwidth
6. Within ISM band one can have greater signal power
 greater distance
7. Hard to detect it presence
8. Hard to intercept and/or spoof
9. Harder to jam a spread spectrum signal
17
Spread Spectrum In General
Spread spectrum is Wideband Modulation and uses a PN code
Primary benefits:
1. Provides data or message security
2. Resistant to interference and jamming
3. It allows for band sharing
Two approaches:
1. Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS)
Data is constant but
Frequency is pseudo random
2. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
Data is randomized
Frequency band is constant
3. Time Hopping Spread Spectrum (THSS)
Not as widely used – not covered here
(But most efficient use of bandwidth)
18
General Model of Spread Spectrum Systems
• Spreading code/sequence is generated by a pseudorandom generator,
using a seed and is deterministic (not actually statistically random).
• Modulator using the spreading code to modulate its input to a much
wider bandwidth output for transmission.
• Demodulator using the same spreading code to demodulate the
spread spectrum signal.

Basic Concept of Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum
20
FHSS First Proposed by Hedy Lamarr & G. Antheil
During World War II, Hedy Lamarr and composer George Antheil realized that
radio-controlled torpedoes, which could be important in the naval war, could
easily be jammed, thereby causing the torpedo to go off course. With the
knowledge she had gained about torpedoes from her first husband, and using
a method similar to the way piano rolls work, they drafted designs for a new
frequency-hopping, spread-spectrum technology that they later patented.
21
Collisions at the same frequency-timeslot is not a problem with a
single user, but with multiple users collisions can be a problem if
two of the users attempt to use the same frequency-time slot.
This is avoided by careful selection of the each PN code assigned to
each of the multiple users.
Collision Avoidance in Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS)
Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS) signal is
broadcast over multiple
frequencies in a pseudo –
random pattern (aka pseudo-
noise pattern).
Both transmitter and receiver
must know the pseudo-random
pattern to successfully receive
a communication.

Bluetooth Overview
https://www.bluetooth.com/what-is-bluetooth-technology
A BluetoothÂŽ device uses radio waves instead of wires or cables
to connect to a phone or computer. A Bluetooth product, like a
headset or watch, contains a tiny computer chip with a
Bluetooth radio and software that makes it easy to connect.
When two Bluetooth devices want to talk to each other, they
need to pair. Communication between Bluetooth devices
happens over short-range, ad hoc networks known as piconets.
A piconet is a network of devices connected using Bluetooth
technology. When a network is established, one device takes
the role of the master while all the other devices act as slaves.
Piconets are established dynamically and automatically as
Bluetooth devices enter and leave radio proximity.
26
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) in Bluetooth
To minimize interference, it uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS).
The FHSS signaling methodology uses time switching among 79 channels, each
with 1 megahertz (1 MHz) bandwidth and hopping rate = 1,600 times per
second between channels (up to 8 channels).
79
Channels
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short
distances (using radio waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz). Bluetooth
is a packet-based protocol.
27
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) is a spread spectrum technique
whereby the original data signal is multiplied with a pseudo random noise
spreading code. The spreading code has a higher chip rate (chip rate is
the bit rate of the code), resulting in a wideband time continuous
scrambled signal.
In DSSS the message signal is modulated with a bit sequence known as
the Pseudo Noise (PN) code. The PN code consists of sequence of
pseudo-random pulses of much shorter duration ( → larger bandwidth)
than the pulse duration of the message signal. Thus, the message signal is
chopped up and this results in a signal with a bandwidth about as large as
that of the PN sequence. In this context the duration of the PN code is
referred to as the chip duration.

The FHSS signaling methodology uses time switching among 79 channels, each with 1 megahertz (1 MHz) bandwidth and hopping rate = 1,600 times per second between channels (up to 8 channels). 79 Channels Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using radio waves in the ISM band from 2.4 to 2.485 GHz). Bluetooth is a packet-based protocol.
  • 27. 27 Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) is a spread spectrum technique whereby the original data signal is multiplied with a pseudo random noise spreading code. The spreading code has a higher chip rate (chip rate is the bit rate of the code), resulting in a wideband time continuous scrambled signal. In DSSS the message signal is modulated with a bit sequence known as the Pseudo Noise (PN) code. The PN code consists of sequence of pseudo-random pulses of much shorter duration ( → larger bandwidth) than the pulse duration of the message signal. Thus, the message signal is chopped up and this results in a signal with a bandwidth about as large as that of the PN sequence. In this context the duration of the PN code is referred to as the chip duration. Signal BandwidthMessage Bandwidth
