Mody, BAE SystemsSlide 9 802.22 Sponsored Tutorial The Chair of IEEE 802.22 WG, Apurva Mody will be sponsoring a tutorial during the Monday 7.30 p.m. – 9.00 p.m. timeslot titled “Geolocation Technologies Suitable to Meet Regulatory Requirements in TV Whitespaces” Abstract: Since geolocation of the terminals used by wireless communication systems is becoming important, and even mandatory in the case of TVWS operation, techniques are being considered to include this functionality in the various IEEE 802 standards. Besides the known satellite-based geolocation approches (e.g., GPS), the TVWS operating frequencies and operating bandwidths lend themselves to efficient terrestrially-based geolocation techniques that can provide for improved geolocation accuracy as well as operation in obstructed and indoor environments. This tutorial will present terrestrial geolocation techniques for portable (nomadic) and fixed terminals. The first technique is based on the use of OFDM modulation as implemented in a number of IEEE 802 standards where OFDM/OFDMA is taken advantage of to allow fine ranging down to a 1 meter accuracy using signals inherent in the system transmission. The technique can operate in a multipath environment where line-of-sight may be obstructed. Using the known latitude and longitude of a few reference terminals, other terminals can then be geolocated. A version of this technique has already been incorporated in the 802.22 Standard with minimal impact on complexity. The second technique is complementary to the first one and consists in post-processing of the results acquired by the first technique to resolve multipath echo delay ambiguity. It is designed for a heavy multipath environment, for example inside buildings, with obstructed direct line-of-sight and includes multipath mitigation algorithms. These algorithms are light-weight and can be executed in software at the base station and/ or at the terminal, including portable (nomadic) terminal. In addition, this technique allows simultaneous tracking-locating of large number of terminals. The proposed techniques leverage the existing IEEE 802 Standard protocols/ infrastructure with a minimal impact (little or no change required). Alternative methods of ranging will also be discussed.
