1. Introduction to communication system
▪ The purpose of a communication system is to transport an information bearing
signal from a source to a user destination.
o Analog communication systems: the information bearing signal is continuously
varying in both amplitude and time.
o The performance metric: SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio)
o Digital communication system: the information bearing signal is represented by a
sequence of discrete messages.
o The performance metric: BER (Bit Error Rate)

Basic signal processing blocks
▪ Transmitter:
o Source coding: eliminate or reduce redundancy so as to provide an efficient representation of the
source output.
o Channel coding: introduce redundancy to provide reliable communication over a noisy channel.
o Modulation: to provide the efficient transmission of the signal over the channel.
❖ Channel: wired (telephone channels, coaxial cables, optical fibers) or wireless (microwave radio,
satellite channels, mmWave channel, military channels, …).
❖ Receiver: demodulation, channel decoder, and source decoder.
❖ Our goal is to communicate with any time of information with anyone at anytime from anywhere.
This is possible with aid of wireless technology.

writing, images, sounds by means of electromagnetic waves of the radio frequency range, from about
3 kHz to 300 GHz propagated in space without artificial guide.
▪ Examples of radio communication systems:
▪ Radio broadcasting.
▪ TV broadcasting.
▪ Satellite communication.
▪ Mobile cellular telephony.
▪ Wireless LAN.
▪ UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles): ground, sky and underwater/underground

The Radio Spectrum
▪ The frequency spectrum is a shared resource.
▪ Radio propagation does not recognize geopolitical boundaries (globalization or security).
▪ International cooperation and regulations are required for an efficient use of the radio spectrum.
▪ The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is an agency, within the UN, that takes care of this
resource.
o Frequency assignment.
o Standardization.
o Coordination and planning of the international telecommunication services.
▪ The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates interstate and international
communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable in all 50 states.
o An independent U.S. government agency overseen by Congress, the Commission is the federal agency
responsible for implementing and enforcing America’s communications law and regulations.

The Cellular Concept
▪ Why cellular?
▪ Radio spectrum is a finite resource.
▪ How to accommodate a large number of users over a large geographic area within a limited radio spectrum?
▪ The solution is the use of cellular structure which allows frequency reuse.
▪ The large geographic area is divided into smaller areas cells.
▪ Each cell has its own base station providing coverage only for that cell.
▪ Each base station is allocated a portion of the total number of channels available to the entire system.
▪ Neighboring base stations are assigned different groups of channels to minimize interference.
▪ The same group of channels can be reused by another base station located sufficiently far away to
keep co-channel interference levels within tolerable limits.
65
Coexistence Challenge:
Many devices use the same radio band
▪ Technical Solutions:
▪ Interference Cancellation
▪ Smart/Cognitive Radios
