CharacteristicsDifferences from wired link . decreased signal strength: radio signal attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss) interference from other sources: standardized wireless network frequencies (e.g., 2.4 GHz) shared by other devices (e.g., phone); devices (motors) interfere as well multipath propagation: radio signal reflects off objects ground, arriving ad destination at slightly different times. make communication across (even a point to point) wireless link much more “difficult” 第9頁/共62頁6-10Wireless network characteristicsMultiple wireless senders and receivers

several wireless broadcast channels (cellular, satellite, etc) standards unique “code” assigned to each user; i.e., code set partitioning all users share same frequency, but each user has own “chipping” sequence (i.e., code) to encode dataencoded signal = (original data) X (chipping sequence)decoding: inner-product of encoded signal and chipping sequence allows multiple users to “coexist” and transmit simultaneously with minimal interference (if codes are “orthogonal”)第11頁/共62頁6-12CDMA Encode/Decodeslot 1slot 0d1 = -11 1 111 -1 -1 -1 -Zi,m= di.cmd0 = 11 1 111 -1 -1 -1 -1 1 111 -1 -1 -1
