3. Simulation of a wireless
channel model
Channel refers to the path between
Transmitter and Receiver whether
it may be wired or wireless.
Channel model refers to the
mathematical equation describing
the channel behavior between the
Transmitter and Receiver.
TWO main types of channels
35 time invariant channel
36 time varying channel
Channel models e.g. Additive White
Gaussian Noise (AWGN), Rayleigh
and Rician, etc. are used by
communication design engineer for
the purpose validating transmitter
and receiver design.

6.

Experiment on AT commands

"AT" meaning 'attention'

Commands for communication between
Modems
Command set has four groups
1. Basic Command Set
2. Extended Command Set
3. Proprietary Command Set
- Vary widely among modem
Manufacturers
4. Register Commands

7.

Simulation of Speech
Coding and Decoding

Speech coding uses speech-specific

parameter estimation using audio
signal processing techniques to
model the speech signal, combined
with generic data compression
algorithms to represent the
resulting modeled parameters in a
compact bit stream.

8.

Experiment on GMSK modulation

Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying is a

continuous-phase Frequency Shift
Keying modulation scheme.
It is similar to standard Minimum
Shift Keying (MSK); however the
digital data stream is first
shaped with a Gaussian filter
before being applied to a
frequency modulator.
This has the advantage of reducing
sideband power, which in turn
reduces out-of-band interference
between signal carriers in
adjacent frequency channels.
GMSK increases the modulation
memory in the system and causes
Inter Symbol Interference.
GMSK has high spectral efficiency,
but it needs a higher power level
than QPSK, in order to reliably
transmit the same amount of data.

9. Experiment on Spreading
Sequences
The spread spectrum systems were
originally built for the military.
The aim of spread Spectrum systems
was to hide the fact that digital
transmission was taking place, to
Make the transmission difficult to
intercept and to make it robust
against intentional jamming.
- m-sequences
- Gold and Kasami sequences
- Walsh sequences

10. Experiment on CDMA

11. Experiment on 3G Mobile

Third generation of mobile
telecommunications technology
based on a set of standards used
for mobile devices and mobile
telecommunication services and
networks that comply with the
International Mobile
Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000)
specifications by the
International Telecommunication
Union (ITU)

12. Experiment on VOIP

VOIP
A methodology for the delivery of
voice communications and
multimedia sessions over Internet
Protocol (IP) networks

MTSO Contains the switching
equipment for routing mobile phone
calls by controlling the cell
sites that are connected to the
MSC
Switching equipment is called
