Description

WO 01/52436 PCT/USO1/00501 DYNAMIC PREQUENCY-HOPPING SYSTEM T. Cooklev, K. Dobson, D. Ostermiller, S. Prestwich 1. ABSTRACT A frequency-hopping system is disclosed, 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. 2. FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to wireless communication systems utilizing frequency hopping. 3. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The major advantage of wireless communication devices is that they do not require wires. The disadvantage is that, well, they do not require wires and operate generally in the same frequency band. Thus clearly spectrum is the single most precious resource in wireless communications. In 1985 the Industrial, Scientific and Medical bands (three unlicensed bands 902-928 MHz, 2.4-2.4835 GHz, and 5.725-5.870 GHz) were allotted by the FCC for general-purpose communications under part 15 regulations. Thousands of ISM devices are now available on the market. Since the spectrum is unlicensed, thousands of other wireless applications are yet to come. For example, recently a wireless standard called Bluetooth was promulgated. The Bluetooth standard is available at www.bluetooth.com and is 1 WO 01/52436 PCT/USO1/00501 incorporated here as a reference in its entirety. Recently the Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) bands, three unlicensed bands in the 5 GHz region, have also received a lot of attention, as they promise high data rates. Frequency hopping systems are currently the most popular and a lot of work has been done in frequency-hopping systems. US Patent 5,832,026, assigned to Motorola, Inc, of Schaumburg, IL, and incorporated here as a reference in its entirety, describes a sophisticated FH system which is more robust against jammers. However, the complexity of the approach is prohibitive for high-volume consumer applications. Other-relevant prior art is described in US Patent 5,862,142, assigned to Hitachi, Ltd, of Tokyo, Japan, and incorporated here as a reference in its entirety. This patent describes an arrangement for a frequency-hopping wireless local area network (WLAN) where there is a controller base station which controls the carrier frequency hop timing of the other base stations. This is convenient for some frequency-hopping WLANs, but does not solve the fundamental problem of coexistence. 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. 2 WO 01/52436 PCT/USO1/00501 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. US Patent 5,870,391, assigned to Canon, of Tokyo, Japan, discloses a FH system, where a controller is used, and instead of using a distinct frequency for communication to each of the devices, the controller uses a common FH pattern for the communication of control information. While multiple-access methods have been thoroughly investigated in the prior art, nowhere in the prior art it is considered that there may be several wireless systems operating in the same frequency band. Multiple-access methods consider how multiple devices (or users) can use the spectrum according to the same protocol. They do not and cannot consider how different wireless systems can coexist in the same frequency band. Every wireless system assumes that it has the entire spectrum available to itself. This is a truly deplorable situation that - if no measures are taken -ultimately can adversely impact all standards for wireless communications and threaten the user acceptance of wireless technology. For example, as the number of these wireless devices grows, the lack of coexistence can discourage consumers to use more wireless devices. This is especially important in home networking applications, where the number of wireless devices is expected to skyrocket in the next several years. Devices that transmit relatively at a higher power will get their data through. The other devices will not. We call this the "big stick" policy. Devices that have a bigger stick will work. One way to try to "solve" the problems of coexistence and interoperability is influenced by some scientific modeling of wireless personal area network (WPAN) and WLAN devices installed in typical home and office spaces, etc., and is based on assumptions that the 3 WO 01/52436 PCT/USO1/00501 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. Thus, the "big stick" policy needs to be replaced with the "good citizen" policy. And what is needed is a method and apparatus according to which a FH system can dynamically adjust the band it occupies, so that it can coexist with other different wireless systems in the same band. 4. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to disclose an improved frequency-hopping system, that can dynamically change the bandwidth it occupies. It is another object of the present invention to disclose a frequency-hopping system that can change the bandwidth it occupies in response to changing channel conditions or commands. It is yet another object of the present invention to disclose a frequency-hopping system that, in changing the bandwidth it occupies, is able to adjust its output power level. It is yet another object of the present invention to disclose a FH system, which does not subscribe to the above-mentioned "big stick" policy, but follows a "good citizen" policy, where it dynamically adjusts its parameters to accommodate other wireless systems, which may or may not be frequency hopping. 4 WO 01/52436 PCT/USO1/00501 5. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 5.1 First embodiment To be specific, we'll consider the operation of a frequency-hopping system in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The operation in any band would be substantially similar. 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). f f f 1 2 N Fig. 1 An illustration of frequency hopping Fig. 1 illustrates the operation of frequency hopping systems. In time instant tl only a 1MHz wide band around f1 is used. In the next time instant t2, another 1MHz-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. In the case of the Bluetooth system, 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 5 WO 01/52436 PCT/USO1/00501 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. Furthermore, if one of the narrowband 1MHz-wide channels is jammed, for example fl, the next channel is very likely to be good. The disadvantage of 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. For example, for the Bluetooth standard, taking into account the guard bands, there are 79 possible hopping channels, each of width 1 MHz. These channels are 2402+K MHz, K=O,..., 78. 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. When frequency hopping is not performed the output power must satisfy certain requirements. In the United States the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands are governed by FCC Part 15.247 (Spread Spectrum) and 15.249 (lower ERP). The relevant FCC regulations are given in Table 1. If spread-spectrum is not used the output power is limited to 50 mV/i at 3 m. This output power is sufficient for applications like wireless personal area networking (WPAN), wireless home networking, etc., which normally require reliable communication over distances of about 30 feet. 6 WO 01/52436 PCT/USO1/00501 Table 1. Output power limitations for non-spread and spread wireless devices in the ISM bands Frequency 902-928 MHz 2.4-2.4835 GHz 5.725-5.875 GHz Field strength of fundamental 50 mV/m at 3 m 50 mV/m at 3 m 50 mV/m at 3 m (lower ERP non-spread) (-1.25 dBm Tx (-1.25 dBm Tx (-1.25 dBm Tx power for 0 dBi power for 0 dBi power for 0 dBi antenna) antenna) antenna) Peak transmit power (spread, up 1 W 1 W 1 W to +6 dBi antenna) The U-NIl 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. 7 WO 01/52436 PCT/USO1/00501 Table 2. Output power regulations in the U-NIl bands. Frequency 5.15-5.25 GHz 5.25-5.35 GHz 5.725-5.825 GHz Use Indoor use only; Indoor or outdoor Primarily outdoor integral antenna use use Power (Where B= -26dB 50 mW or 4 dBm 250mW or 11 1 W or 17 bandwidth in MHz) + 10logB dBm+10logB dBm+10logB Power spectral density (max.) 4dBmina 1 MHz 11 dBm in a 1 17 dBm in a I Antenna gain up to 6 dBi band MHz band MHz band It is plain to observe that the first embodiment of the present invention has a number of advantages. First, a 1MHz signal is transmitted only on one IMHz-wide channel, thus the implementation is spectrally very efficient. Second, and much more importantly, the other channels can be used by other wireless systems, which may or may not be frequency-hopping. For example, some of the other wireless systems can be high-rate orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Third, 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. Finally, the proposed here implementation replaces the "big stick" policy with the "good citizen" policy. 8 WO 01/52436 PCT/USO1/00501 5.2 Second embodiment In the second embodiment of the present invention, instead of eliminating hopping entirely, the devices can hop in a narrower band. For example, in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, instead of hopping on 79 channels for 2402+K MHz, where K is in the set of {0, ..., 78}, 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. According to the second embodiment, 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 signal-to-noise ratio decreases, the system returns to hopping in the entire band, and selects another set of good channels. Alternatively, 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 9

Claims (10)

  1. 5.3 Third embodiment In some cases, where a plurality of wireless systems operate in the same band (not an uncommon situation in future home networking) it may be impossible for a single transceiver to determine the channel or set of channels that can be reliably used for communication. In these instances, the devices will be managed by a wireless hub or a spectrum-managing controller. By using methods not discussed here, this spectrum-managing controller will find a suitable channel or a set of channels and will communicate them to the devices. Thus the spectrum managing controller will dynamically monitor and manage the frequency band of interest.
