This deliverable will focus on the following items for research in data transmission technology focusing virtual reality use-case: Specifications and performance evaluation of a Gbps radio system (radio analog/digital and baseband processing), Specifications and performance evaluation of a Gbps optical wireless communication (OWC) system (optical/digital and baseband processing), Common Gbps radio and OWC modem architecture definition with control selection. Global architecture for V1 demonstrator, Scenario to be implemented (video format, SoTA about VR equipment including protocols) Optical transmission (throughput objectives, technology choices, simulations performance, link budget, latency estimation, HW targeted board, potential risks, dataflow interconnection) Radio transmission (throughput objectives, technology choices, simulations performance, link budget, latency estimation, HW targeted board, potential risks, dataflow interconnection) Common optical/radio components (potential common architecture) MAC layer issues (Protocol description, implementation, latency constraints, potential risks, dataflow interconnection) Video processing Conclusion/perspectives (synthesis and global architecture view) WORTECS WORTECS 761329 30 January 2019 D3.1 – Gbps wireless radio and Gbps wireless optical communication specifications and evaluations Page 2 (68) Keyword list Virtual Reality, High Quality / Low Latency, Wireless, OWC, radio transmission, Mac layer, HW implementation WORTECS 761329 30 January 2019 D3.1 – Gbps wireless radio and Gbps wireless optical communication specifications and evaluations Page 3 (68) Executive Summary This task focuses on virtual reality use-case data transmission permitting to: a) Specify and evaluate the performance of a Gbps radio system that includes analog/digital radio and baseband processing, b) Specify and evaluate the performance of a Gbps Optical Wireless Communications (OWC) system, this is, the optical/digital and baseband processing, c) Define a common Gbps radio and OWC architecture with control selection. Inputs from WP2 permit in WP3 to design the wireless radio and OWC physical layer system. Here, the architecture for radio and OWC system includes now all the elements of the transmission chain such as the digital baseband processing (coding, modulation, link adaptation, framing, detection, estimation) and the radio and optical front-end stages (antenna design, impairments, ADC/DAC, amplification, filtering). For the WORTECS proof-of-concept PoC, positioning and tracking is also described. The system’s architecture consider the results on modelling propagation channel, radio high and very high frequencies and AWC transmissions and asymmetry in data rates for uplink and downlink. A decision matrix that lists all the potential components has been included which will permit to select the main elements that will be implemented in the final PoC. For the building of such a matrix, complexity evaluation and implementation feasibility have been taken into account. Impact on the other Work-packages Input from WP2 The design of wireless radio and OWC physical layer is based on inputs from WP2. Output towards WP4 A decision matrix that lists all the potential components has been included which will permit to select the main elements that will be implemented in work package WP4. Selection and specifications of radio and optics system will be provided to WP4. These components takes into account complexity evaluation and HW implementation feasibility as well as platform capabilities and the amount of resources dedicated to the HW implementation. The final specifications will be defined through an iterative process between WP3 and WP4.
