    Study Notes

    Wireless Communication

    • Communication is the process of exchanging information or signals between two or more entities through a medium.
    • Wireless communication transmits information without physical connections, using electromagnetic waves.
    • Types include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, cellular, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and satellite.

    Evolution of Communication

    • Cave painting (30,000 BC)
    • Smoke signals (200 BC)
    • Carrier pigeons (2000 years ago)
    • Postal system
    • Newspapers (16th century)
    • Telegraphy (1844)
    • Telephones (1927)
    • Radio (1920s)
    • Television (1927)
    • Internet (1983)
    • Email (1983)
    • Text messages (1992)
    • Social media (1997)

    Electromagnetic Spectrum

    • The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of electromagnetic radiation organized by frequency or wavelength.
    • It includes radio, microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
    • EM waves are created by vibrations between electric and magnetic fields.
    • Frequency is the number of complete cycles or oscillations per unit time (measured in Hertz).
    • Wavelength is the physical length of one complete cycle or the distance between successive crests or troughs of a wave (measured in meters).
    • Wavespeed = frequency x wavelength

    Modulation

    • Modulation is the process of changing one or more properties (amplitude, frequency, and phase) of a carrier signal in proportion to the modulating signal.
    • Modulation is necessary for wireless communication to transmit information over long distances.
    • Types include amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), and phase modulation.

    Multiplexing

    • Multiplexing allows multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over a single data link.
    • Types include frequency division multiplexing (FDM), time division multiplexing (TDM), and code-division multiplexing (CDM).
    • FDM divides the bandwidth into smaller channels.
    • TDM divides time into slots for different signals.
    • CDM assigns unique codes to different signals.
    • Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) is used for optical fibers.

    Filters

    • Filters are electronic devices that remove unwanted information in a signal by blocking certain frequencies while allowing others to pass.
    • Types include low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-stop filters
    • Low-pass filters allow signals with low frequencies to pass while blocking higher frequencies.
    • High-pass filters allow signals with high frequencies to pass while blocking lower frequencies.

    Data Communication Terminology

    • Bit rate or data rate: The amount of data transmitted per unit of time.
    • Baud rate: The number of signal units transmitted per second.
    • Attenuation: The reduction in signal strength as it travels through a medium.
    • Demodulator: The process of separating the message signal from the carrier wave.
    • Repeater: A device that receives, amplifies, and retransmits a signal.
    • SNR: Signal-to-noise ratio (a measure of the strength of a signal relative to the background noise).

    Data Transmission Modes

    • Analog vs. Digital transmission
    • Parallel (multiple bits sent simultaneously).
    • Serial (one bit sent at a time).

    Transmission Model Methods

    • Simplex (one direction).
    • Half-duplex (two directions, but one at a time).
    • Full-duplex (two directions simultaneously).

    Signal Propagation

    • Electromagnetic waves can propagate through space.
    • Various modes of propagation exist (ground wave, sky wave, and space wave).

    Cellular Structure

    • Cellular networks are designed to optimize frequency usage and provide coverage over geographic regions.
    • Cells are geographical areas covered by a single base station.
    • Cell splitting and cell sectoring are techniques to increase channel capacity.

    GSM

    • GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communication, and it uses TDMA.

    GSM Architecture

    • GSM network architecture comprises several subsystems.
      • Base station subsystems (BSS)
      • Network switching subsystems (NSS)
        • Operation support subsystems (OSS)

    GSM Addressing

    • IMEI: International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (unique serial number for mobile devices).
    • IMSI: International Mobile Subscriber Identity (unique serial number for mobile subscribers").

    GSM Services

    • Telephony
    • Data services
    • Supplementary services

    GSM Security

    • GSM security features include authentication, confidentiality, and authorization.

    Bluetooth

    • Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communication technology.

    Bluetooth Pairing

    • Bluetooth pairing is a process of establishing a secure connection between two Bluetooth-enabled devices.

    Bluetooth Security

    • Bluetooth security is essential to protect from various threats.
    • Security modes and trust levels are described.
