IEEE 802.22

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

IEEE 802.22 is a standard for Wireless Regional Area Network (WRAN) using white spaces in the TV frequency spectrum.[1] The development of the IEEE 802.22 WRAN standard is aimed at using cognitive radio techniques to allow sharing of geographically unused spectrum allocated to the Television Broadcast Service, on a non-interfering basis, to bring broadband access to hard-to-reach, low population density areas, typical of rural environments, and is therefore timely and has the potential for a wide applicability worldwide.

IEEE 802.22 WRANs are designed to operate in the TV broadcast bands while assuring that no harmful interference is caused to the incumbent operation, i.e., digital TV and analog TV broadcasting, and low power licensed devices such as wireless microphones [2][3][4]. The standard was expected to be finalized in Q1 2010. 802.22 Draft D1 is available and comment resolution is underway.[5]

IEEE P802.22.1 is a standard being developed to enhance harmful interference protection for low power licensed devices operating in TV Broadcast Bands. IEEE P802.22.2 is a recommended practice for the installation and deployment of IEEE 802.22 Systems[1] IEEE 802.22 WG is a working group of IEEE 802 LAN/MAN standards committee which is chartered to write the 802.22 standard. And the two 802.22 task groups (TG1 and TG2) are writing 802.22.1 and 802.22.2 respectively.

[edit] Technology

In response to an NPRM issued by the FCC in May 2004,[6] the IEEE 802.22 working group on Wireless Regional Area Networks was formed in October 2004.[7] Its project, formally called as Standard for Wireless Regional Area Networks (WRAN) - Specific requirements - Part 22: Cognitive Wireless RAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications: Policies and procedures for operation in the TV Bands focuses on constructing a consistent, national fixed point-to-multipoint WRAN that will use UHF/VHF TV bands between 54 and 862 MHz. Specific TV channels as well as the guard bands of these channels are planned to be used for communication in IEEE 802.22.[3]

The IEEE, together with the FCC, is pursuing a centralized approach for available spectrum discovery.[8]Specifically each Base Station (BS) would be armed with a GPS receiver which would allow its position to be reported. This information would be sent back to centralized servers (in the USA these would be managed by the FCC), which would respond with the information about available free TV channels and guard bands in the area of the BS. Other proposals would allow local spectrum sensing only, where the BS would decide by itself which channels are available for communication. A combination of these two approaches is also envisioned. Devices which would operate in the TV White Space band (TVWS) would be mainly of two types. Fixed device and Personal/Portable device. The Fixed devices would have geo location capability with embedded GPS device. Fixed devices also communicate with central database to identify other transmitters in the area operating in TVWS. There are other measures suggested by the FCC and IEEE to avoid interference. Such as: dynamic spectrum sensing and dynamic power control.

[edit] Overview of the WRAN Topology

The initial drafts of the 802.22 standard specify that the network should operate in a point to multipoint basis (P2MP).[9] The system will be formed by base stations (BS) and customer-premises equipment(CPE). The CPE's will be attached to a BS via a wireless link. The BSs will control the medium access for all the CPEs attached to it.[9]

One key feature of the WRAN Base Stations is that they will be capable of performing a distributed sensing. This is that the CPE's will be sensing the spectrum and will be sending periodic reports to the BS informing it about what they sense. The BS, with the information gathered, will evaluate whether a change is necessary in the channel used, or on the contrary, if it should stay transmitting and receiving in the same one.[9]

[edit] An approach to the PHY layer

The goal of this layer is to provide excellent, yet simple, performance. The PHY layer must be able to adapt to different conditions and also needs to be flexible for jumping from channel to channel without errors in transmission or losing clients (CPE's). This flexibility is also required for being able to dynamically adjust the bandwidth, modulation and coding schemes. OFDMA will be the modulation scheme for transmission in up and downlinks. With OFDMA it will be possible to achieve this fast adaptation needed for the BS's and CPE's.[9] By using just one TV channel (a TV channel has a bandwidth of 6 MHz; in some countries they can be of 7 or 8 MHz) the approximate maximum bit rate is 19 Mbit/s at a 30 km distance. The speed and distance achieved is not enough to fulfill the requirements of the standard. The feature Channel Bonding deals with this problem. Channel Bonding consists in using more than one channel for Tx / Rx. This allows the system to have higher bandwidth which will be reflected in a better system performance.[9]

[edit] An approach to the MAC layer

This layer will be based in Cognitive Radio Technology.[9] It needs to be also able to adapt dynamically to changes in the environment by sensing the spectrum. The MAC layer will consist of two structures: Frame and Superframe. A superframe will be formed by many frames. The superframe will have an SCH (Superframe Control Header) and a preamble. These will be sent by the BS in every channel that it's possible to transmit and not cause interference. When a CPE is turned on, it will sense the spectrum, find out which channels are available and will receive all the needed information to attach to the BS.[9]

Two different types of spectrum measurement will be done by the CPE: in-band and out-of-band. The in-band measurement consists in sensing the actual channel that is being used by the BS and CPE. The out-of-band measurement will consist in sensing the rest of the channels. The MAC layer will perform two different types of sensing in either in-band or out-of-band measurements: fast sensing and fine sensing. Fast sensing will consist in sensing at speeds of under 1ms per channel. This sensing is performed by the CPE and the BS and the BS's will gather all the information and will decide if there is something new to be done. The fine sensing takes more time (approximately 25 ms per channel or more) and it is used based on the outcome of the previous fast sensing mechanism.[9]

These sensing mechanisms are primarily used to identify if there is an incumbent transmitting, and if there is a need to avoid interfering with it.[9]
