In the presence of errors, the system performs

3 EQUATION DERIVATIONS & MODULATION
SCHEMES
In order to achi eve an effi ci ent communi cati on i n
wi rel ess channel each part of the communi cati on
l i nk must be careful l y desi gned based on the
properti es of the ti me conti nuous channel. Such an
approach i s di sti nct from one to another. Note that
Rayl ei gh fadi ng i s a smal l -scal e effect. There wil l
be bul k properti es of the envi ronment such as path
l oss and shadowi ng upon whi ch the fadi ng i s
superi mposed. In Rayl ei gh Fadi ng Channel ,
Crucial i n thi s devel opment i s how to deal wi th the
deep fades and the rapi d fl uctuati ons of the
recei ved si gnal power. To reduce the i nfl uence of
the deep fades on the error probabi l i ty, di versi ty
techniques must be used. Coded i nterl eaved
modul ati on can be regarded one such strategy,
where the di versi ty effect ari ses as a resul t of
nearby en-coder output symbol s bei ng subjected to
stati sti call y i ndependent fadi ng. Central i n
achi evi ng thi s i ndependence i s the i nterl eave ,
whi ch spreads the symbol s i n ti me. A hi gher

3.3 Modulation Schemes
In communi cati on Engi neeri ng modul ati on i s the
act or process of superi mposi ng the ampl i tude,
frequency, phase, etc., of a wave or si gnal onto
another wave (the carri er wave) or si gnal or onto
an el ectron beam. As i s common to al l di gi tal
communi cati on systems, the desi gn of both the
modul ator and demodul ator must be done
si mul taneousl y. Di gi tal modul ati on schemes are
possi bl e because the transmi tter-recei ver pai r have
pri or knowl edge of how data i s encoded and
represented i n the communi cati ons system. In
di gi tal modul ati on, an anal og carri er si gnal i s
modul ated by a di screte si gnal . Di gi tal modul ati on
methods can be consi dered as di gi tal -to-anal og
conversi on, and the correspondi ng demodul ati on
or detecti on as anal og-to-di gi tal conversi on. A
devi ce that performs modul ati on i s known as a
modul ator and a device that performs the i nverse
operati on of modul ati on i s known as a
demodul ator (someti mes detector or demod). A
devi ce that can do both operati ons i s a modem.
Here, we di scuss about two forms of di gi tal
modul ati on.
Phase shi ft keyi ng, PSK, i s wi del y used these days
wi thi n a whol e raft of radi o communi cati ons
systems. It i s parti cularl y wel l sui ted to the
growi ng area of data communi cati ons. PSK, phase
shi ft keyi ng enabl es data to be carri ed on a radi o
communi cati ons si gnal i n a more effici ent manner
than Frequency Shift Keyi ng, and some other
forms of modul ati on. There are vari ous forms of
PSK- Bi nary PSK and Differenti al PSK are of them.
BPSK i s the si mpl est form of phase shi ft keyi ng . It
uses two phases whi ch are separated by 180and
so can al so be termed 2-PSK. Thi s modul ati on i s
the most robust of al l the PSKs si nce i t takes the
hi ghest l evel of noi se or di storti on.
Differential phase shi ft keyi ng (DPSK) i s a
common form of phase modul ati on that conveys
data by changi ng the phase of the carri er wave. As
menti oned for BPSK there i s an ambi gui ty of phase
i f the constel l ati on i s rotated by some effect i n the
communi cati ons channel through whi ch the si gnal
passes. Thi s probl em can be overcome by usi ng the
data to change rather than set the phase. In a

Frequency shi ft keyi ng (FSK) i s the most common
form of di gi tal modul ati on i n the hi gh-frequency
radi o spectrum, and has i mportant appl i cati ons i n
tel ephone ci rcui ts. FSK i s a modul ati on scheme
typi cal l y used to send di gi tal i nformati on between
di gi tal equi pment such as tel epri nters and
computers. The data are transmi tted by shi fti ng the
frequency of a conti nuous carri er i n a bi nary
manner to one or the other of two di screte
frequenci es. Coherent FSK and Non-Coherent FSK
are the form of FSK, among vari ous forms. The

4 THROUGHPUT CHARACTERIZATIONS
4.1 Simulation for Condition 1:
Here, we have taken si mul ati on for di fferent
val ues of packet l engths where transmi ssi on rate
vari es wi th throughput. Each graph contai ns four
assumpti ons.
In fi rst fi gure we have noti ced that when the
packet l ength si ze was smal l then the throughput
has reached i ts hi ghest peak wi th hi gher
transmi ssi on rate and al so has fal l en i n a wi de
range. But as soon as the packet l ength has kept
hi gher, then the curve of throughput i s stepper
rather than fl at and the throughput has reached i ts
hi ghest peak at l ower transmi ssi on rate. When we
have i ncreased our packet l ength si ze than before,
then the throughput has reached the maxi mum
peak at a very l ower transmi ssi on rate and al so has
fal l en down qui te qui ckl y. Here, we get maxi mum
throughput at the packet l ength of 50bi ts wi th
108kbps.
In the foll owi ng fi gures we have noticed that these
graphs characteri stic behave l i ke Fi gure 1 onl y the
peak throughput fall en down compared to fi gure
01. The throughput characteri sti cs for Differential
PSK &Coherent FSK al most same .We get l east
peak throughput among al l schemes for Non
Coherent FSK.
4.2 Simulation for Condition 2:
For throughput opti mi zati on for fixed transmi ssi on
rate varyi ng the value of the packet l ength. Each
graph contai ns four assumpti ons where SNR wil l
be changed wi th the val ue of R (Fi gure05-
Fi gure08).
In first graph, peak throughputs are i ncreased wi th
the i ncrease of transmi ssi on rate. But as soon as the
transmi ssi on rate has kept hi gher, then the curve of
throughput stepper rather than fl at and the
throughput has reached i ts hi ghest wi th smal l
packet si ze and has fal l en down i n a short range
respecti vel y. Among four assumpti ons, we get
maxi mum throughput for the transmi ssi on rate of
500kbps (SNR=10).

In fi gure 02 & 03 we have noti ced that these graphs
characteri sti c behave li ke Fi gure 01 onl y the peak
throughput decrease compared to fi gure 01. For
opti mi zi ng throughput, the throughput
characteri sti cs for Differenti al PSK &Coherent FSK
al most same .So, we can say that ,the throughput
characteri zi ng nature i s si mi l ar for Bi nary PSK,
Differential PSK and Coherent FSK..
We onl y see the excepti on throughput
characteri zi ng nature for Non Coherent FSK,
where we get l east peak throughput compare to
other al l .
4.3 Observation
Anal yzi ng the above graphs, we can say that we
get maxi mum throughput for Bi nary PSK and l east
throughput for Non Coherent FSK not onl y
condi ti on 1 but al so condi ti on 2.
5 CONCLUSION
In thi s thesi s, we i ntroduce the concept of
maxi mi zi ng the throughput of the wi rel ess system
varyi ng the val ue of packet l ength and
transmi ssi on rate (i nsi de the cel l ul ar system).
When thi s work was started, the goal was to
provi de new i nsi ght i nto the understandi ng of the
data throughput a wi rel ess system for vari ous
schemes. Thi s was not geared towards any system
i n parti cul ar. No system protocol s and/or
parameters were used i n thi s work. Wi rel ess
systems engi neers, i n thei r desi gn of wi rel ess data
systems, shoul d use thi s research as a tool . Some
very i mportant resul ts were obtai ned. We have
l earned that the data throughput depends on
vari abl es, some of whi ch i ncl ude the transmi ssi on
rate, packet l ength the recei ved si gnal power, the
recei ved noi se power spectral densi ty, the
modul ati on techniques used and the channel
condi ti ons.
