Why IEEE 802.22
•    Underutilization of allocated spectrum
•    Spectrum scarcity
•    Demand for higher data rates and coverage
•    IEEE 802.22 is the first proposed standard for cognitive radio operation in TV band.
•    It utilizes TV white spaces, which are really the spectrum holes in the TV band



             Cognitive Radio came up as a good SOLUTION!!


    What is Cognitive Radio (CR)
•    An Intelligent wireless system –
      • learns the environment
      • allows cognitive (Unlicensed) users to utilized the unused spectrum with an interference
          control basis to the primary system
General Overview - I
•   The IEEE 802.22 WG is chartered with the development of a CR-based Wireless Regional Area
    Network (WRAN)

•   Fixed point to multipoint air interface model

•   Fixed wireless data services in sparsely populated rural areas with range of ~100 km

•   In the US, TV frequency bands (each with BW 6 MHz)–
     –   174-216 MHz
     –   470-806 MHz

•   Cognitive system benefits of TV band vacant spaces

•   The main difference of 802.22 with other IEEE 802 standards –
     –   Higher data rate
     –   Better range
     –   Channel Bonding
     –   Geolocation
     –   Complex Spectrum management due to spectrum sensing
General Overview - II
Spectrum Sensing
•   Most Important part of the overall 802.22 scheme
•   Base Station (BS) –
     –    Instructs CPEs to do sensing
     –    Tell CPEs when to do sensing
     –    Where to do sensing
     –    Analyze the sensing results
•   In TV white spaces, sensing is done for three different transmissions:
      –    Analog television:       Vacate at power level of -94 dBm
      –    Digital television:     Vacate at power level of -116 dBm
      –    Wireless microphones: Vacate at power level of -107 dBm

Channel Bonding
•    Beneficial to use wider bandwidth system


•    Using just one TV channel –
      –   Cannot meet the required data rates


•    The current US grade-A TV allocation restricts adjacent allocated TV channels to have at
     least 2 empty channels between them.




    Geolocation
•    Devices should be in fixed position and BS needs to know location information of all the
     CPEs.

•    The location of the BS must be known to within a 15 m radius while the location of CPE
     must be known to within a 100 m radius.
Physical Layer – Overview - I
•   Channel with excessive multipath delay
     –   Largest delay of > 60 µs
     –   Average delay of 35 µs


•   Use VHF/UHF TV bands – 54 to 862 MHz

•   Robust OFDMA is proposed with
     –   Long symbol time
     –   Long CP


•   Different users can have different channel conditions
     –   Flexibility is inherent in this standard
     –   Adaptive modulation and coding
           •   Three modulation schemes (QPSK, 16 QAM and 64 QAM)
           •   Four coding rates (1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and 5/6)
     –   Four different lengths of CP (1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32)
Physical Layer – Overview - II
•   US and DS frames use OFDM symbol format with TDD

•   Every frame uses OFDMA/TDMA to allocate different users

•   No multi antenna support – large antenna size

•   Complex turbo interleaver proposed
