What are the alternatives
•High-performance GPPs with DSP enhancements.
–Eliminating the need of a DSP and GPP for many products and
thus reducing cost
–Example: Pentium 4
•Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions allowing
identical operations on multiple pieces of data in parallel.
•144 new special instructions providing advanced capabilities for
applications such as 3D graphics, video encoding/decoding, and
speech recognition.
•Several Data Types (floating/integer)
•Multi-Core DSPs
•Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC)
•Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)
ASIC, FPGA
•Uses hard-wired logic with varied architectures
according to the application
•FPGA
•It is a network of reconfigurable hardware with
reconfigurable interconnect controlled by a
switching matrix
DSP aspects in Wirelesscommunication
•Source Coding (Speech coding)
•Detection and matched filtering
•Diversity and rake receivers
•Multi-user detection
•Error Correction
Speech coding for mobile
•To reduce the bit-rate required for transmitting telephone
quality speech, a new approach to speechcompression
is needed.
•Current mobile phones compress to about 13,000 b/s (bit
per second) and weaim to achieve 4,000 b/s and lower
using a method called 'DAP-STC'.
•Compression is generallyachieved by spectrally
analysing speech segments to derive a model of the
human speech process.
•DAP-STC is a new and potentially more accurate way of
doing this with a modified speech productionmodel.
•A variable bit-rate version achieves an average 2,400
b/s and is suitable for packetised speechas may be
transmitted over computer networks.

The Matched Filter Principle
•The optimum receiver for any signal

–over a Linear Time-Invariant Channel

Fundamentals of Diversity
Reception
•What is diversity?
•Diversity is a technique to combine several copies
of the same message received over different
channels.
•Why diversity?
•To improve link performance
Site (or macro) diversity
•Receiving antennas are located at different sites.
–Example: at the different corners of hexagonal cell.
•Advantage: multipath fading, shadowing, path loss and interference all
become "independent“
Frequencydiversity, Timediversity, Anglediversity
•Frequency diversity:
Each message is transmitted at different carrier
frequencies .
Time diversity:
Each message is transmitted more than once.
Useful for moving terminals.
Angle diversity:
• Waves from different angles of arrival are
combined optimally, rather than with random phase
•Directional antennas receive only a fraction of all scattered energy.
Low power implementation of DSP in
Mobile Communication
•The requirement for extended battery life, reduced size and low
electromagnetic interference for mobile communication equipment
has led to the development of a novel asynchronous DSP device
known as CADRE.
•Compiler support for the new device is needed to avoid manual
assembly-level programming.
•Apart from maximising speed and minimising code size, the
compiler is required to produce code which exploits the special
features of CADRE to minimise energy consumption.

Mobile Communications Networks
First Generation
•Analogue
•Basic voice
telephony
•Low capacity
•Limited local and
regional coverage
•E.g. NMT, AMPS,
TACS, C-net
•Digital:
–Circuit switched
•Voice plus basic
data applications:
–Fax
–SMS (small message
services)
–Circuit-switched data
•Low data speed
•Regional coverage,
with trans-national
roaming
•E.g. GSM, D-AMPS,
PDC, IS 95 CDMA
•Digital:
–Packet and circuit
switched
•Advanced data —
i.e. multimedia
applications
•Fast data access
•Global coverage
•E.g. UMTS

Attraction of DSPcomes from key advantagessuch as :
*Guaranteedaccuracy:(accuracyisonlydeterminedbythenumberofbitsused)
*PerfectReproducibility:Identicalperformancefromunittounit
ie.Adigitalrecordingcanbecopiedorreproducedseveraltimeswithno
lossinsignalquality
*Nodriftinperformancewithtemperatureandage
* Uses advances in semiconductor technology to achieve:
(i) smaller size
(ii) lower cost
(iii) low power consumption
(iv) higher operating speed
* Greater flexibility: Reprogrammable , no need to modify the hardware
* Superior performance
ie. linear phase response can be achieved
complex adaptive filtering becomes possible
CONCLUSION
•Designers of 3G base stations will make use of
the DSPs in order to achieve the high
performance and flexibility needed for
tomorrow’s voice and data applications.
•Speech coding is an essential application of
digital signal processing in modern day
telephony and mobile communications, which
employ high data compression ratios.
