3. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 3 Overview Power Spectra Density (PSD) issue in UWB Analysis of PSD of UWB signals Mechanisms to reduce PSD –Phase reversion to reduce PSD –Architecture of using Linear Feedback Shift Register –Phase reversion for SYNC Conclusion

4. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 4 PSD is an Important Issue in UWB Communication Systems FCC limited authorization of UWB technology, Feb 14, 2002 Use in restrict spectrum at restrict power Do not interfere with other wireless systems Other agencies still have some reservations about whether UWB will interfere with other wireless systems such as air navigation and landing systems

5. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 5 Reducing PSD is an Important Part in UWB System Design TX power should be limited by peak in spectrum Repeat pulse trains may generate strong line spectra and high PSD Traditional scramblers are not sufficient to reduce PSD PSD suppression results in –Prevention of interference to existing systems –Potential increased rate, Tx power (distance)

6. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 6 Signal model Probability function of a n Model of Repeat Pulse Train

7. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 7 Es is determined by w(t) and Tc Es is not affected by Pr{a n } Total PSD is determined by w(t) and Tc Total PSD is not affected by Pr{a n } PSD of Repeat Pulse Train

8. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 8 PSD of repeat pulse trains consists of S c (f) – continuous component S d (f) – discrete component PSD of Repeat Pulse Train W(f) Tc p

9. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 9 W(f) – pulse shape & Tx power Tc – clock period or pulse rate p – probability in distribution function –Does not affect total PSD –Changes distribution of PSD between continuous and discrete components Parameters that Determine PSD

10. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 10 P = 0 or 1 S c (f) = 0 and S d (f) = max All PSD goes to the discrete component; P = 0.5 S c (f) = max and S d (f) = 0 All PSD goes to the continuous component Because total PSD is constant Max(S c (f)) = Max(S d (f)) Relationship between Continuous and Discrete Components

11. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 11 Total continuous PSD equals total discrete PSD The continuous distributes on all frequencies The discrete distributes on those discrete frequencies separated by 1/Tc. Peak value of continuous PSD is lower than that of discrete PSD Relationship between Continuous and Discrete Components

12. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 12 Reduce or eliminate discrete component of PSD Objective of Design

13. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 13 PSD with Different p PSD of single pulseP = 0.25 P = 0.5P = 1.0 Line spectra peak = 17 peak = 9 peak = 3

14. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 14 TDMA Systems Traditional communication systems require randomness inside a frame for timing recovery, equalization, etc.

15. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 15 New Requirements to UWB Communication Systems Traditional: randomness in X direction UWB: randomness in both X & Y directions

16. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 16 PSD Analysis: if data is not evenly distributed in Y direction, line spectra appear Phase Waveform of single pulseWaveform of data PS of single pulsePSD of data Original stream: line spectra & peak = 17

17. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 17 Propose 1: Phase Reversion to Reduce PSD A random sequence {b n } is generated with c n = a n ^ b n. It can be shown that {c n } is used as the new data for transmission.

18. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 18 Using proposed scheme, line spectra is eliminated and PSD is reduced Waveform of single pulseWaveform of data PS of single pulsePSD of data Proposed 1: PSD of c n, Line spectra gone peak reduced to 8

19. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 19 Major Challenge in Implementing Phase Reversion Simple way to generate random sequence Easy way to synchronize random number generators in both transmitters and receivers

20. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 20 Propose 2: Architecture of LFSR LFSR stands for Linear Feedback Shift Registers Easy implementation Very suitable for semiconductor implementation

21. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 21 LFSR is loaded with a RN per frame & updated per pulse

22. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 22 Synchronization of LFSR Initial system channel access –Random vectors are generated in advance & stored in an array –Transmitters & receivers keep same array –Index to a vector in the array is put in data to transmit Initial traffic channel access –Sequence number can be used

23. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 23 15-bit LFSR vs. Idea Low Bound LFSR is too short Strong line spectra exist Phase controlled by RNs as reference of low bound Proposed LFSR implementation

24. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 24 28-bit LFSR vs. Idea Low Bound LFSR is long enough Line spectra is suppressed Very close to reference Phase controlled by RNs as reference of low bound Proposed LFSR implementation

25. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 25 Propose 3: Phase Reversion on SYNC Three mechanisms can be used: Phase reversion on the whole SYNC SYNC is divided into symbols & phase reversion on symbols Phase reversion & scrambling on symbols

26. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 26 Phase Reversion on SYNC/symbols can eliminate line spectra but not ripples in PSD One cycle of symbols PSD with phase reversion PSD without phase reversion Waveform of symbols Propose 3: line spectra gone Original: strong line spectra

27. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 27 Scramble Symbols

28. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 28 Phase Reversion & Scrambling on SYNC/symbols can smooth ripples & eliminate line: snap shot at 10, 50 200 runs Proposed 3: PSD of symbol-based phase reversion & scrambling Very close to reference Phase controlled by RNs as reference of low bound

29. IEEE 802.15-03/121 Submission March 2003 Shaomin Mo, Panasonic -- PINTLSlide 29 Conclusion Phase reversion can effectively reduce PSD Phase reversion can be applied to PAM, PPM, Time-Hopping to reduce PSD LFSR is an easy way to generate RNs with good performance Scrambling can enhance performance by smoothing ripples in PSD with extra processing & can be extended beyond SYNC
