EE359 - Lecture 8 Outline: Announcements

The document outlines a lecture on wireless channel capacity. It discusses: 1) The capacity of flat fading channels depends on what is known at the transmitter and receiver, with waterfilling providing the optimal variable rate and power adaptation. 2) Channel inversion can provide a fixed rate but greatly reduces capacity, while truncated inversion increases capacity by only inverting the channel above a cutoff fade depth. 3) The capacity of frequency selective fading channels can be approximated by dividing the channel into independent subbands, each with capacity equal to the waterfilling solution.

Channel Inversion
 Fading inverted to maintain constant SNR
 Simplifies design (fixed rate)
 Greatly reduces capacity
 Capacity is zero in Rayleigh fading
 Truncated inversion
 Invertchannel above cutoff fade depth
 Constant SNR (fixed rate) above cutoff
 Cutoff greatly increases capacity
 Close to optimal

Fading Channels
 For TI channels, capacity achieved by
water-filling in frequency
 Capacity of time-varying channel unknown
 Approximate by dividing into subbands
 Each subband has width Bc (like MCM).
 Independent fading in each subband
 Capacity is the sum of subband capacities

Main Points
 Fundamental capacity of flat-fading channels
depends on what is known at TX and RX.
 Capacity when only RX knows fading same as when TX
and RX know fading but power fixed.
 Capacity with TX/RX knowledge: variable-rate variable-
power transmission (water filling) optimal
 Almost same capacity as with RX knowledge only
 Channel inversion practical, but should truncate

 Capacity of wideband channel obtained by


breaking up channel into subbands
 Similar to multicarrier modulation
