Definitions
- a frequency-hopping system in which the band for frequency hopping is dynamically changed in response to changing channel conditions or a command. Simultaneously with the change of the band of operation the output power may be changed as well, so that the system satisfies at all times the regulatory requirements of the country it operates in.
- This invention relates generally to wireless communication systems utilizing frequency hopping.
- a system where at least one transceiver searches for a set of usable frequencies and communicates this set to the other transceivers on the network, and employs frequency- hopping in this set of frequencies is disclosed in US Patent 5,214,788, assigned to Thomson-CSF of Puteaux, France, and incorporated here as a reference in its entirety.
- a frequency-hopping communication method where the hopping frequencies change as a result of counted number of errors is disclosed in US Patent 5,541,954 assigned to Sanyo Electric Co., of Osaka, Japan, and incorporated here as a reference in its entirety. In this patent the errors on all the hopping frequencies are counted and, if the errors on a given frequency exceed a certain threshold, the frequency is not used.
- US Patent 5,657,343, assigned to InterDigital Technology Corp., of Wilmington, DE discloses a system, where the system bandwidth B is divided into N non-overlapping sets of frequencies. Each of the base stations has a coverage area divided into a plurality of N concentric regions, with each concentric region assigned one of the N sets of frequencies.
- WLAN wireless personal area network
- WLAN devices installed in typical home and office spaces, etc., and is based on assumptions that the different systems are less likely to be used simultaneously. This does nothing to solve the coexistence problem, and is, furthermore, wrong in home networking applications, where all systems are likely to be used at the same time.
- the 2.4 GHz ISM band is 83.5 MHz wide, between 2.4 and 2.4835GHz, everywhere except in Spain, France, and Japan. (Here we describe the operation in the USA and Europe, a substantially similar method of operation can be constructed for Spain, France and Japan).
- Fig. 1 An illustration of frequency hopping
- Fig. 1 illustrates the operation of frequency hopping systems.
- time instant tl only a 1MHz- wide band around fl is used.
- another 1 MHz- wide band is used, centered around another frequency.
- the hopping is performed according to a pseudo-random sequence, known only to the transmitter and the intended receiver.
- the hopping sequence is derived from the device address of the master of the connection.
- the master of the connection is the device that temporarily controls the communication, all devices are physically the same and are able to assume the role of masters. Since the hopping sequence is not known to other receivers, hopping is considered secure.
- the next channel is very likely to be good.
- frequency hopping is that a signal, that needs only 1 MHz for transmission is spread over the entire 80 MHz-wide band. This is not only wasteful of bandwidth, but essentially does not allow the operation of other wireless systems in the same ISM band.
- the operation of the system according to the first embodiment of the present invention is as follows.
- the master of the connection monitors the signal-to-noise ratio in all channels. Then it finds a channel that has the highest signal-to-noise ratio and communicates this to the other devices. Further communication takes place on the selected channel without frequency hopping to other channels. Should the signal-to-noise ration on this cannel deteriorate gradually or suddenly to the point it can no longer be used for reliable communication, the frequency hopping within the entire band is restored by the master issuing a command to the slaves. Then, another attempt is made to find a single channel that can be reliably used for communication. In this system frequency hopping is used only during establishment of a connection, or when a change in the frequency channel needs to be implemented. At all other times frequency hopping is not performed.
- the U-N ⁇ bands are governed in the U.S. by FCC Part 15.401 through 15.407 and the regulations are given in Table 2 and non-spread operation in these bands is also possible. Also, while here we are mainly concerned with regulations in the United States, similar regulations exist in the other countries. Thus the applicability of the present invention is not limited to the United States, and the implementation of a system according to this embodiment would be substantially similar everywhere in the world.
- the first embodiment of the present invention has a number of advantages.
- the other channels can be used by other wireless systems, which may or may not be frequency-hopping.
- some of the other wireless systems can be high-rate orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems.
- OFDM orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing
- the proposed here solution is the simplest and most economical way to achieve coexistence among wireless communication systems. While sophisticated error-correcting coding and equalization may improve the performance of all wireless systems, even when they face the "big stick” policy, the complexity and cost would be significant and perhaps prohibitive in high-volume applications.
- the proposed here implementation replaces the "big stick" policy with the "good citizen” policy.
- the devices can hop in a narrower band.
- the invention can be implemented by restricting the value of the integer K to a closed subset of the set ⁇ 0, ..., 78 ⁇ .
- the rest of the band is made available for other wireless systems. This also achieves the objectives of the present invention, and - since frequency hopping continues to be employed albeit in a narrower band - the devices can transmit typically at a higher power than non-spread devices, according to the appropriate regulations.
- a wireless transceiver e. g. the master of the connection will determine which subband of the entire band- to use, on the basis of the vacant portion of the spectrum. For example, if there is another wireless system in operation in the same band, which is also a "good citizen", most of the channels will offer a high signal-to-noise ratio. The transceiver can select those that offer the highest signal-to-noise ratio. Another instance of the second embodiment is where the transceiver selects a number of channels, depending on the requirements for the particular application. Thus a higher data rate can be obtained.
- the operation of the wireless system according to this second embodiment is dynamic, and if the conditions on the selected channels deteriorate, e. g.
- the system returns to hopping in the entire band, and selects another set of good channels.
- the system may select a new set of channels without returning to hopping in the entire band. This can happen, for example, if conditions have deteriorated on only some of the channels, such that other channels still offer acceptable signal-to-noise ratio.
- the master of the connection can communicate the new set of channels to the other transceivers using only the available good channels.
- Another part of the second embodiment is that when there is a change in the number of channels used power may be adjusted to levels allowed by the appropriate regulatory agencies, if necessary.
- One implementation of the second embodiment can be easily devised in the important special case of Bluetooth. This standard supports different number of hop frequencies according to the
