The In-Building Wireless World

Where are the Users?
Wireless personal communications is nowadays one of the fastest industries in the world, with
millions of new customers signing in for new services and applications. In particular, most of
these users are inside buildings, with the exception of those who are on the move: in their
offices, at home, at ports of entry (airports, railway stations, etc.), at shopping centres,
university campuses, etc. Rarely, the majority of the users are outdoors, except when they
are going from one place to another, travelling or commuting. Also, the effect that many
users are concentrated into small areas is also commonly seen.
Due to the evident importance of in-building systems which serve users inside buildings,
many questions arise from these observations. How much effort shall we devote to
guarantee sufficient coverage levels inside buildings? Is the signal from external cells enough
to penetrate inside the buildings? How do the radio waves travel and behave in such
environments? These and other questions are the subject of our study as part of this
certification program.

Motivation for Small Cells

To provide wireless coverage inside buildings, smaller cells have been proposed, if sufficient
coverage is not achieved from external cells. Amongst the motivations for using small cells
are the following:
Hot desking
Seamless outdoor-indoor transitions, since users should not be aware of when they
are handing over to a different type of cell when they enter or leave a building
Need for uniform user environment with a single terminal, in line with the overall
system integration seen worldwide in the last years
Higher data rates which can support interactive and streaming applications
Small invisible antennas, better suited for portable devices
Maximum electromagnetic (EM) exposure issues, to comply with Health & Safety
recommendations
Private systems and special billing
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) and Personal Area Networks (PAN)
Building space efficiency and reconfiguration costs
Better interference management

In-Building Wireless Applications

Applications and Services
Various wireless applications are well known and have been around in the market for many
years, providing voice and data services to users at different data rates. From 2G systems
where voice traffic was predominant over other applications and limited data transfers were
available, to the more demanding mobile broadband applications which demand large
bandwidth usage and faster data transfers. Hot desking, video streaming, file sharing, web
browsing, mobile TV, interactive gaming and mobile e-commerce are becoming nowadays a
reality in modern wireless systems.
Wireless Technologies Evolution

Since the first cellular technology deployed in the 80s, new wireless technologies were
developed by different standardisation organisations and were implemented by operators.
For cellular technologies, First Generation phones (AMPS) were launched in 1983, supporting
only basic mobile voice, and were the only technology until the late 80s early 90s, with the
advent of Second Generation (2G) phones, in the quest for capacity and coverage. Many
standards such as IS-136 (TDMA), GSM and IS-95 (CDMA) appeared around 1993. In 1995
the quest for data and higher speeds drove the creation of Third Generation (3G) systems,
which for many years provided evolution technologies such as GPRS and EDGE until full
capability could be achieved around 2001. Other standards such as UMTS, IMT-2000
emerged. Beyond 3G in quest for broadband wireless multimedia services is emerging now,
seeing technologies such as OFDM and MIMO, and standards such as HSDPA, 3GPP2, etc.
For WLANs, Wi-Fi became very popular since 2001, and around 2005 wireless mesh
networks were deployed. WiMAX has emerged as a broadband wireless technology around
2007. The tendency is to see low-power networks as well as embedded ones in the near
future.

Note that by 2010 it is expected that Long Term Evolution (LTE) takes over an important
sector of the market, having larger channel bandwidth and data rates which exceed all the
other technologies.

First Generation (1G)

The First Generation (1G) cellular technology regroups analogue technologies which support
voice traffic only. In America, AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System) was launched in
1983, having a channel bandwidth of 30 MHz only, sufficient for voice, and using Frequency
Division Multiple Access (FDMA) as the multiple access technology.
Second Generation (2G)

The Second Generation (2G) includes digital technologies that provide an increased voice
quality over the first generation and circuit-switched data services.
Examples of 2G systems are:
iDEN (Integrated Dispatch Enhanced Network) / ESMR / TETRA / TETRAPOL,

launched in 1994, use a channel bandwidth of 25 kHz and 12.5 kHz, and TDMA as
multiple-access technology (Time Division). TETRA and TETRAPOL were standards
used for police and emergency services.
GSM (Global System for Mobile), was launched in 1992 in Europe, and it has become
the most widely used cellular standard worldwide. It has a channel bandwidth of 200
kHz and uses TDMA.
CDMA one, using Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) as multiple access
technology, was launched in 1996 in America. It uses a channel bandwidth of 1.25
MHz, and QUALCOMM registered its name for its original CDMA products.

2.5G
The 2.5G wireless technology generation is a step between 2G and 3G. It includes 2G
systems that have been upgraded to support packet switched services. An example of this is
GPRS (Global Packet Radio Service), launched in 2001, which is seen as a GSM evolution,
having the same channel bandwidth as GSM (200 kHz) and TDMA as multiple access
technology.
2.75G
The 2.75G generation is an unofficial term to categorize wireless technologies that do not
meet the 3G requirements but were marketed as if they do. Examples of this standard
include: CDMA2001x (1xRTT), which is a direct evolution of CDMA one, and was launched in
2000. It uses a channel bandwidth of 1.25 MHz and CDMA as multiple access technology.
EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution) is another example of 2.75G. EDGE was
launched in 2001-2002, it is an evolution of GSM towards 3G, having the same channel
bandwidth of 200 kHz and using the same multiple access technology as GSM.

Third Generation (3G) regroups digital networks that offer increased voice capacity and
provide higher data rates than 2G and 3G technologies.
WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), also known as UMTS (Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System), was deployed in Europe around 2002. It occupies a channel
bandwidth of 5 MHz, and uses wideband CDMA as the multiple access technology. On the
other hand, CDMA2000 1xEVDO (1x Evolution Data Optimized) was launched in 2002 in
America, as a data-optimized evolution of CDMA2000. It occupies a channel bandwidth of
1.25 MHz and also uses CDMA as multiple-access technology.
Other standards which have emerged for 3G include the ones listed in the next slide. In
general, there have been evolutions of others which were deployed prior to them.

Fourth Generation
Fourth Generation (4G) is a term used for International Mobile Telecommunications
Advanced (IMT-Advanced), which is also known as Beyond 3G. 4G systems aim to upgrade
existing communication networks and are expected to provide a comprehensive and secure
IP-based solution where facilities such as voice, data and streamed multimedia will be
provided to users on an Anytime, Anywhere basis and at much higher data rates compared
to previous generations.
The baseband techniques for 4G are OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), to
exploit the frequency-selective channel property; MIMO (Multiple Inputs Multiple Outputs) to
attain ultra-high spectral efficiency; and a turbo principle to minimize the required SNR
(Signal-to-Noise Ratio) at the receiver.
The principal 4G technologies include: adaptive radio interface; modulation, spatial
processing including MIMO; and relaying, including fixed relay networks (FRNs), and the
cooperative relaying concept, known as multi-mode protocol.
4G: OFDM
OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is a frequency-division multiplexing
(FDM) scheme utilized as a digital multi-carrier modulation method. A large number of
closely-spaced orthogonal sub-carriers are used to carry data. The data is divided into several
parallel data streams or channels, one for each sub-carrier. Each sub-carrier is modulated
with a conventional modulation scheme (such as Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, QAM or
Phase Shift Keying, PSK) at a low symbol rate, maintaining total data rates similar to
conventional single-carrier modulation schemes in the same bandwidth.
The property of orthogonality observed in OFDM prevents demodulators from seeing
frequencies other than their own.
Some of the benefits of this technology in wireless communications are: high spectral
efficiency; more resilient to interference than other technologies; and lower multipath
distortion.

4G: MIMO-OFDM
Multiple-input and multiple-output or MIMO is the use of multiple antennas at both the
transmitter and receiver to improve communication performance. It is one of several forms of
smart antenna technology.
MIMO technology has attracted attention in wireless communications, since it offers
significant increases in data throughput and link range without additional bandwidth or
transmit power. It achieves this by higher spectral efficiency (more bits per second per hertz
of bandwidth) and link reliability or diversity (reduced fading).
When used in conjunction with OFDM, is called MIMO-OFDM. It will allow service providers
to deploy a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) system with Non-Line of Sight (NLOS)
functionality. In addition, since data is transmitted both in the same frequency band and with
separate spatial signatures, this technique uses spectrum very efficiently.
WiMAX
WiMAX, or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications
technology which enables wireless transmission of voice and data in two ways: point-to-point
links and full mobile access. Limited availability of spectrum worldwide makes mobile WiMAX
a particularly attractive technology thanks to an elaborate air interface (Scaled-OFDMA)
combined with high modulation schemes (up to 64QAM) and smart antennas (dynamic
bemforming, MIMO), all contributing to provide mobile users with an enhanced experience of
high data rate services such as web browsing or video streaming. In addition, Mobile WiMAX
brings us one step nearer to the convergence of fixed and mobile broadband access by way
of a single and unique air interface and a network architecture based on an all-IP approach.
In a certain way, mobile WiMAX can be regarded as a complement to Wireless Local Area
Networks (WLAN), having comparable data rate with better radio coverage; and to 3G cellular
systems, improving the data rate at comparable coverage. Nevertheless, it has also been
considered as a competitor to both technologies.

Long-Term Evolution (LTE)

LTE (Long Term Evolution) LTE (Long Term Evolution) is a set of enhancements to the
Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), which will be introduced in the 3rd
Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), Release 8.
Much of 3GPP Release 8 will focus on adopting 4G mobile communications technology,
including an all-IP flat networking architecture.
LTE provides downlink peak rates of at least 100Mbit/s, 50 Mbit/s in the uplink and RAN
(Radio Access Network) round-trip times of less than 10ms.
LTE Features
LTE has the following features defined in the standard:
Data rates
In the uplink, it is estimated a data rate of 50 Mbps, whereas twice this data rate for the
DL; i.e. 100 Mbps. Both FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) and TDD (Time Division
Multiplex) modes are supported.
Bandwidth
A flexible carrier bandwidth is anticipated for LTE, from 1.4 MHz to 20 MHz.
Goals
LTE has been designed to improve spectral efficiency while maintaining low cost, as
well as to improve service offering. The idea is to make use of new spectrum and
reformed spectrum, ensuring a much better integration with other wireless standards.
Architecture
It uses EPS (Evolved Packet System) and comprises E-UTRAN (Evolved UTRAN) on
the access side and EPC (Evolved Packet Core) on the core side.
