Background Basic idea of UWB

Communications in a frequency band already occupied (Coexistence)

Making frequency re-use possible by limiting the PSD of Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP)

UWB radio regulation Federal Communications Commission (FCC, USA) determined onl

y the maximum emission limit and minimum bandwidth Method for access to UWB frequency band has not yet been fixed

Note: UWB regulations say nothing about the type of carrier and technique used to generate UWB carrier. So Any kind of carriers, including chaotic signals, may be used; any kind of modulation scheme may be used

Background FCC limits on radiated UWB signal

To avoid interference caused in the existing narrowband systems, not the radiated power but the PSD of EIRP is limited

Definition of Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP)= (power supplied to the antenna) *(antenna gain)

ERIP limits in two ways: Peak level of the emissions contained within a 50-MHz bandwidth centere

d on the frequency at which the highest radiated emission occurs should not exceed 0 dBm EIRP

Average radiated emissions shall not exceed -41.3 dBm EIRP when measured using a resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz over the frequency band of 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz

Note: Low-data rate (less than 350 kbit/s) UWB systems are peak power limited, while high-data rate ones are average power limited

Remark: 1.When semi-bit Tf/2 duration integration interval is used, the BER performance is obviously affected by guard interval Tg. Larger Tg, lower BER. 2. On the other hand, since the integration interval is equal to Tf /2, increasing of Tf means more noise energy captured whereas signal energy almost unchanged, so the BERis deteriorated when Tg great than a threshold.

Performance comparison between the non-optimal integration interval scheme and the presented

optimization scheme of CM1, CM2, CM3 and CM4, Tf is set as 400ns and Ts is 2.5ns

Remark: BER performance of the presented optimization method outperforms the scheme when the integration interval keeps a fixed value of Tf/2 about 2.2dB in CM1, CM3 and CM4 while about 1.2dB in CM2, because of much channel delay in CM2 than others.

Improved DCSK/FM-DCSK Scheme

Problem of TR-UWB receiver (including DCSK/FM-DCSK) All digital implementation: extremely high power consumption due

to needing GHz A/D converter.

Analog implementation RF front-end: a RF delay line is required, which is extremely difficult to implement in CMOS. Especially, long delay implementation, such as several decades ns.

How to solve this problem? Design an alterative DCSK transceiver which eliminates the RF

delay line.

Problem of present non-coherent UWB synchronization algorithm

● Timing synchronization is a major challenge for the implementation of non-coherent UWB receivers.

● Present non-coherent UWB timing synchronization algorithm: the operation of correlation between two neighboring symbols and the operation of picking the peak from a large amount of correlation values.

● Problem: Above algorithm operation is not available for the FM-DCSK UWB system for two reasons: first, a chaotic waveform varies from symbol to symbol, even if the samebit is transmitted repeatedly, which is the main difference between the FM-DCSK UWB and the conventional non-coherent TR UWB; second, noise-like chaotic signals have low values of inter-symbol correlation. Thus, a new timing synchronization algorithm with rapidity and low complexity is required for the FM-DCSK UWB communication system.

Rapid timing synchronization algorithm for FM-DCSK UWB receiver(1)

Algorithm basic idea: takes advantage of the excellent correlation characteristic of chaotic signals, finish timing synchronization based on intra-symbol correlation operation.

Algorithm step: ■Step 0: Divide the interval into N parts uniformly, and take the beginning point of each part as the integral starting point. Thus, within one symbol observation interval, N integral results are obtained:

Motivation There are two fundamental aspects of wireless communication that

make the problem challenging and interesting. First is the phenomenon of fading: the time-variation of the channel

strengths due to the small-scale effect of multipath fading Second is the phenomenon of interference: such as, inter-user inference,

inter-symbol inference (ISI) that is introduced by multipath channel.

So, how to deal with fading and with interference is central to the design of wireless communication systems. Diversity – an effective method to mitigate channel fading

As an alterative spread-spectrum technology, DCSK/FM-DCSK has superior capability in terms of anti-interference over multipath fading channels. For improving performance of DCSK, space diversity is a promising

technology. Such as, multiple antenna, user cooperative diversity, etc.

Page 31: Low-Rate UWB Communication Systems Based on Chaotic Modulations

Wideband Wireless Communications Laboratory, Xiamen University

42-31

Cooperative communications can provide transmit diversity for most wireless networks.

Since one user’s signals can be relayed by other users’ independent fading paths to the destination, in cooperative communications, terminals share others’ antennas to achieve transmit diversity.

This approach achieves spatial diversity through all partners’ antennas, which enhances the ability of combating fading in wireless communication systems. Such as WSN, WPAN and WBAN, which are complicated applications requesting low-cost, low power and various demands of QoS. (VMIMO)

User Cooperative Diversity (Combating fading)

Page 32: Low-Rate UWB Communication Systems Based on Chaotic Modulations

Wideband Wireless Communications Laboratory, Xiamen University

42-32

Frequency modulated differential chaos shift keying (DCSK/FM-DCSK) is a joint modulation and spread spectrum technique.

The noise performance of DCSK/FM-DCSK is superior to most conventional modulation schemes in multi-path channel environment. In particular, frequency-modulated differential chaos shift keying (DCSK/FM-DCSK) technique offers robustness against multi-path interference and channel imperfections.

DCSK/FM-DCSK demonstrates itself as a promising modulation technique for many low-cost and low-complexity wireless transmission applications, such as wireless sensor networks (WSN) and low-data-rate wireless personal or body area networks (WPAN, WBAN).

Thus, combination of user cooperative diversity and DCSK/FM-DCSK is an efficient scheme to anti-fading and anti-interference (ISI).

Cooperation protocol of the

two-user DCSK-CC system

Walsh codes are used as multi-access codes for two users. At odd slot, user 1 and user 2 transmit self information to partner and destination, respectively, at even slot, user 1 and user 2 relay partner’s information to destination. According to transmit self information

or not at even slot, there are two user cooperative diversity protocol: conventional cooperation and space-time cooperation.

Simulated results(1) –Comparisons between DCSK cooperative system and CDMA cooperative system

BEP performance comparisons of the DCSK cooperation system and the CDMA cooperative system with different distance ratio , here all distances are normalized by the distance

Spread-spectrum factor is 32 (left) and 64 (right). Spread code of CDMA is Golden sequence, CDMA system with conventional receiver, simulation environment is multipath fading channel with PDP of [0.4 0.4 0.2].

Remark: The BEP curves indicate that the performance of the DCSK cooperative system with a steeper slope is more sensitive to noise than the CDMA cooperative system at high values of SNR. The DCSK cooperative system is more effective at high SNR, especially in near-far scenarios, such as user distance ratio 1:1:0.5 and 1:0.8:0.4.

Properties of user cooperative DCSK communication system In near-far scenarios, the performance of DCSK user cooperative

system is better than that of CDMA user cooperative system with conventional receiver.

The conventional cooperation is a better cooperation protocol than the space-time cooperation in DCSK cooperative system.

There are similar performance results with DCSK under different

chaotic maps.

Consequently, the DCSK cooperative system can be expected applicable to energy-constrained and low-cost wireless networks with simple cooperation protocols

Conclusions In meddle & low-data rate systems where the low power

consumption and low price are crucial, only non-coherent receivers can be used. DCSK/FM-DCSK is best choice in chaos modulations.

The rapid timing synchronization algorithm based chaotic signal property is efficient and robust in FM-DCSK UWB non-coherent receiver.

An alterative simplified DCSK (CS-DCSK) scheme is more promising in low-cost application scenarios.

There are many space to optimize multi-user communication system based on DCSK/FM-DCSK modulation.
