SSA are investigated considering co-existence,
interference avoidance, matching with regulatory
spectral mask, and high data rate. Purpose For

What is Soft-Spectrum Adaptation UWB ? Basic
Philosophy ? Soft-Spectrum Adaptation(SSA)

• Design a proper pulse waveform with high
  frequency efficiency corresponding to any
  frequency mask.
• Adjust transmitted signals spectra in flexible
  so as to minimize interference with coexisting
  systems.

Soft-Spectrum Adaptation(SSA)
8
Basic Formulation
Example of Pulse Generator

Synthesize a proper pulse waveform
In case of multiband, a kernel function is a
sinusoidal function. In case of impulse radio, a
kernel function is a Gaussian, Hermitian pulse
function etc.
Feasible Solution Pulse design satisfying
Spectrum Mask

• Divide (spread-and-shrink ) the whole bandwidth
  into several sub-bands ? Soft Spectrum (spectrum
  matching)
• Pulse synthesized by several pulses which have
  different spectra ?
• Soft Spectrum, M-ary signaling

N division

Soft-Spectrum Adaptation(SSA) with Flexible Band
Plan
Single-band
Multi-band
Dual- or Triple-band
In the future, if the restricting ruggedness of
regional spectral mask (e.g. FCC mask) is eased,
band allocation can be extended below 3.1 GHz or
above 10.6 GHz.
Soft-Spectrum Adaptation (SSA) can correspond
freely
10
Soft-Spectrum Adaptation(SSA) Classification

• Free-Verse Type of SSA
• ? A kernel function is non-sinusoidal, e.g.
• Gaussian, Hermitian pulse etc.
• ? Single band, Impulse radio
• (2) Geometrical Type of SSA
• ? A kernel function is sinusoidal with different
  frequency.
• ? Multiband with carriers and Multi-carrier

11

• Free-verse Type Soft-Spectrum Adaptation
• ? Freely design pulse waveforms by
  synthesizing pulses, e.g. overlapping and shifting

12
(2) Geometrical Type Soft-Spectrum Adaptation ?
Freely design pulse waveforms using various
geometrical type envelopes
13
Global Coexistence with other Potential
Interferences

• Multiband/OFDM
• Only (b) is available
• SSA
• Both (a) and (b) are available

(b) Simply eliminate the band if other services
exist.
(a) Use of frequency band having low emission
limit, but the same pulse energy is available by
using wider bandwidth.

• If more potential interferer should be
  considered, (b) does not work because it simply
  reduce the signal energy.
• Soft-Spectrum Adaptation (SSA) approach provides
  more option to overcome future potential
  coexistence issue.

14
Features of Soft-Spectrum Adaptation (SSA)

• Soft-Spectrum Adaptation (SSA) with flexible
  pulse waveform and frequency band can perform
  single and multiband UWB by
• ? Free-verse type pulse waveform shaping and
• ? Geometrical type pulse waveform shaping,
  respectively.
• Interference avoidance for co-existence,
  harmonization for various proposals, and global
  implementation can be carried out by SSA.
• ? SSA can flexibly adjust UWB signal spectrum
  so as to match with spectral restriction in
  transmission power, i.e. spectrum masks in both
  cases of single and multiple bands.
• Scalable, adaptive performance improvement
• Smooth system version-up similar to Software
  Defined Radio (SDR).

  Soft-Spectrum Adaptation pulse shapes and
  sequences (Outer-keying)

  transmitted and template waveforms.

3. Harmonization Based on SSA for All Proposed
UWB Systems

• Global Harmonization is the everlasting aim and
  basic philosophy of CRL-UWB Consortium.
• CRLs Soft-Spectrum Adaptation has a wide
  capability to be harmonized with all the proposed
  UWB systems
• Intel, General Atomics, ST Microelectronics,
  Samsung, and so on.
• Just changing the kernel functions and shapes of
  Soft-Spectrum Adaptation pulse waveforms.

SSA Harmonization with STMs PPM Proposal

• Modulation 2PPM Polarity (for 123 Mbps)
• Pulse shape Full band pulse shape
• Channel coding Turbo coding

The concept of full band pulse shape of STM is
quite close to CRLs Free-verse SSA philosophy.
Each STMs waveform can be considered to be a
Pulse Shape in SSAs Pulse Shape Modulation(PSM).
At the receiver, use of correlation between each
pulse shape and received waveform gives a large
advantage to the transmission performance.

Summary of Harmonization Based on SSA

• Our combined iterative demapping/decoding scheme
  including Pulse Shape Correlator offers a large
  advantage in the transmission performance.
• For example, we confirmed that the performance
  of Pulse Shape Modulation Convolutional Code is
  comparable with that of Turbo code.
• SSA also have a harmonizing capability with
  other schemes, such as TIs Frequency Hopping
  OFDM scheme and so on, and our iterative decoding
  scheme is applicable to many proposals in IEEE
  802.15.3a.

55
What do we really want to emphasize ?!
Since RD of UWB has still been in progress, our
standardization procedure should not restrict the
progress by only choosing the easiest current
technologies.
On the contrary, we should leave more
flexibilities and freedoms in signaling,
modulation, spectrum matching, etc., especially
at UWB physical layer.
Thats why we need SSA !
