Wireless Research at UC Berkeley + Law, Economics
Wireless Systems of Tomorrow Yesterday Tomorrow One radio per application Multiple radios per application & Multiple apps per radio Long range & point to point All ranges & comm. patterns Frequency specific Frequency agile A-priori limits on power Adaptive limits on acceptable interference Static robustness guarantees Must guarantee robustness dynamically New technologies require a new way of thinking about critical resources
Here be dragons! Our weapons: • • • Information theory Robust control and signal processing Learning and distributed adaptation Game theory and economics And any other sharp enough blade …
Where do you fit in? • Grad school is not “Undergrad Part II” – Not just about learning new skills and practicing their application. – Great research is not a supercharged class project. • Come to Berkeley if you want to learn how to ask the right questions. – – Research “taste” is what we aim to foster One-on-one with your advisor Ad-hoc collaborations with your fellow students Seminars and student-led reading groups • High-risk/high-reward research

Shannon meets Moore’s Law • Shannon said that we can get arbitrarily low probability of error with finite transmit power • Transistors are free, but power is not. • In short-range communication, this is not irrelevant. What is the analogy to the waterfall curve that includes decoding?
The need for guidance • Practical question: “What should we deploy in 2010, 2015, or 2020? ” – Semiconductor side: roadmap + scaling – Gives an ability to plan and coordinate work across different levels. • No such connection on the comm. side. – Capacity calculations do not say anything about complexity and power. – Left to either guess, stick to tried/true approaches, or to invest a lot of engineering effort to even understand plausibility. • Need a path to connect to the roadmap.
An abstracted model for technology • Massively parallel ASIC implementation • Nodes have local memory – Might know a received sample – Might be responsible for a bit • Nodes have few neighbors – (a+1) maximum one-step away – Can send/get messages – Can relay for others • Nodes consume energy – e. g. 1 p. J per iteration • Nodes operate causally
Key idea: decoding neighborhoods • Treat like a sensor network or distributed control problem. • After a finite number of iterations, the node has only heard from a finite collection of neighbors. • Allow any possible set of messages and computations within nodes • Allow any possible code.
“Waterslide” curves bound total power Assuming 1 p. J, a range of around 10 -40 meters, ideal k. T receiver noise, and 1/r 2 path loss attenuation.
Spectrum: The Looming Future • Many heterogeneous wireless systems share the entire spectrum in a flexible and on-demand basis. • How to get from here to there?
A new hope: breaking the interference barrier (David Tse, Ayfer Ozgur and Olivier Leveque)
Spatial Spectrum-Sharing (Gastpar) • Each system must make sure it lives within a certain spatial interference footprint. (Requires spectrum sensing…) • Example: To the right of the boundary, the REDs must collectively satisfy a maximum interference constraint. • Leads to new capacity results (identify capacity “mirages”) and coding schemes
Spectrum: Where we are today • Most of the spectrum is allocated for specific uses and users. • But measurements show the allocated spectrum is vastly underutilized.
Semi-ideal case: perfect location information - Locations of TV transmitter and Cognitive radios are known. - Location of TV receivers is unknown Non-interference constraint translates into “Minimal No-talk” radius Primary System TV Primary Receiver TV set Minimal No Talk Radius
If we use SNR as a proxy for distance … - With worst case shadowing/multipath assumptions - Detector sensitivity must be set as low as -116 d. Bm (-98 -> -116) - Un-shadowed radios are also forced to shut up LOS channel Primary System TV Shadowing Loss in Real estate ~ 100 km Minimal No Talk Radius Detection Sensitivity = -116 d. Bm
Noise + interference uncertainty Cabric et al Spurious tones, filter shapes, temperature changes – all impact our knowledge of noise. Calibration can reduce uncertainty but not eliminate it
Spectrum Sensing: Harder than it looks
How can we reclaim this lost real estate? - Cooperation … can budget less for shadowing since the chance that all radios are shadowed may be very low Primary System TV No Talk radius with cooperation Min No Talk Radius Detection Sensitivity = -116 -> -104 d. Bm What if independence assumptions are not true?
Need right metrics for safety and performance • Safety: no harmful interference to primary • Performance: recovered area for the secondary. • Fundamental incentive incompatibility in models – Secondary is tempted to be optimistic in optimizing performance. – The primary will always be more skeptical of the model.
FHI and WPAR: the right simple metrics FHI: worst-case prob of interference WPAR: normalized area recovered – Area closer to edge of primary likely to have more customers – Area far from edge likely to have another primary.
Cooperative Safety Is Fragile! Why should the primary trust our independence assumptions?
What if we knew the shadowing? - Then we could dynamically change our sensitivity … and regain lost real estate Detection Sensitivity = -98 d. Bm Primary System TV Shadowing Minimal No Talk Radius Detection Sensitivity = -116 d. Bm

Cooperation between multiband radios Cooperati on between multiband radios improves both PHI and PMO
Cooperation between multiband radios Can start with low PHI, large PMO point for a single radio. Primary just trusts that shadowing is correlated between bands.
Disneyland vs Yosemite • Owner controls access to preserve Qo. S for users • “Band-managers” own band lease it out. • Monopoly • Public owns and sets guidelines for use • Unlicensed users are on their own • Competition “Spectrum tour guide” can coordinate users without band ownership
Potential Policy Alternatives
Cognitive Radio: Opportunistic Use of Spectrum • Reclaim underutilized spectrum – How complex must the radios be? – Can systems operate individually? • “If a radio system transmits in a band that nobody is listening to, does it cause interference? ”
Theory’s role: help refine architecture • Start by studying idealized systems with perfect models. – Look for key bottlenecks for system-level performance and ways around them in the appropriate asymptotic limits. • Continue by modeling the impact of model uncertainty on the architecture. – If the stars have to align for the architecture to work, it is not worth implementing. – Identify the new bottlenecks introduced by uncertainty. – Shape the architecture so performance and safety depend only on solid assumptions.
