4G Technology

4G Definition
4G is not one defined technology
or standard, but rather a collection
of technologies at creating fully
packet-switched networks
optimized for data.
4G Networks are projected to
provide speed of 100Mbps while
moving and 1Gbps while
stationary.
0G (Zero Generation Mobile System)
At the end of the 1940s, the first radio
telephone service was introduced, and was
designed to users in cars to the public land-
line based telephone network.
In the 1960s, a system launched by Bell
Systems, called, Improved Mobile Telephone
Service (IMTS), brought quite a few
improvements such as direct dialing and more
bandwidth. The very first analog systems were
based upon IMTS and were created in the late
60s and early 70s.
1G Technology
1G refers to the first-generation of
wireless telephone technology
was developed in 1970s.
1G had two major improvements:
the invention of the microprocessor
the digital transform of the control link between the
phone and the cell site.
Analog signal
2G Technology
Around 1980s
Better quality & capacity - More people could use
there phones at the same time
Digital Signals consist of 0s & 1s
Previous Technology - 2G
Digital consist of 0s and 1s
Digital signal:
[Link] level, [Link] level, [Link] edge
and [Link] edge
Previous Technology - 2G
Digital data can be compressed and
multiplexed much more effectively than
analog voice encodings
Multiplexing -multiple analog message
signals or digital data streams are
combined into one signal
For 1 and 2G standards, bandwidth
maximum is 9.6 Kbit/sec, (I.E)
approximately 6 times slower than an ISDN
Previous Technology - 2G
Allows for lower powered radio
signals that require less battery
PowerCODEC introduction -
program that encodes and
decodes digital data stream or
signal
Translates
data from digital to
analog and vice versa
Previous Technology - 2G
Advantages in Previous
Technology - 2G
The digital voice encoding allows
digital error checking
increase sound quality
lowers the noise level
Going all-digital allowed for the
introduction of digital data
transfer
SMS short message service
E-mail
Disadvantages in Previous
Technology - 2G
Cell towers had a limited coverage area
Jagged Decay curve
Abrupt dropped calls
Analog gradual sound reduction
Spotty coverage
3G Technology
Large capacity and broadband
capabilities
Allows the transmission of 384kbps for
mobile systems and up to 2Mbps
Increased spectrum efficiency 5Mhz
A greater number of users that can be
simultaneously supported by a radio
frequency bandwidth
High data rates at lower incremental cost
than 2GGlobal roaming
Previous Technology - 3G
CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
Form of multiplexing
Does not divide up the channel by time or
frequency
Encodes data with a special code associated with
each channel
Code Division Multiple
Access
Types of Multiplexing
FDMA Frequency Division Multiple Access
Each phone call is allocated one frequency for the
entire duration of the call
Types of Multiplexing
TDMA - Time Division Multiple Access
Each phone call is allocated a spot in the
frequency for a small amount of time, and "takes
turns" being transmitted
Types of Multiplexing
CDMA - Code Division Multiple Access
Each phone call is uniquely encoded and
transmitted across the entire spectrum, in a manner
known as spread spectrum transmission
Reasons for New Research
Even though 3G has successfully been
introduced to mobile users, there are
some issues that are debated by 3G
providers and users.
High input fees for the 3G service
licenses
Great differences in the licensing
terms
3G phones are expensive
Fourth Generation
What is 4G?
Fourth Generation Technology
Faster and more reliable
100 Mb/s
Lower cost than previous generations
Multi-standard wireless system
Bluetooth, Wired, Wireless
Ad Hoc Networking
IPv6 Core
OFDM used instead of CDMA
Potentially IEEE standard 802.11n
Most information is proprietary
Communications
Architecture
Broadcast layer:
fix access points, (i.e.) cell tower connected by
fiber, microwave, or satellite (ISP)
Ad-hoc/hot-spot layer:
wireless LANs (i.e. internet at Starbucks)
Communications
Architecture
Personal Layer Gateway:
devices that connect to upper layers;
cell phone, fax, voice, data modem,
MP3 players, PDAs
Info-Sensor layer:
environmental sensors
Fiber-optic wire layer:
high speed subterranean labyrinth of
fiber optic cables and repeaters
Ad Hoc Networks
Spontaneous self
organization of networks
of devices
Not necessarily
connected to internet
4G will create hybrid
wireless networks using
Ad Hoc networks
Form of mesh
networkingVery reliable
Enhance Mobile Gaming
Experience enhance wireless
capabilities that deliver mobile
gaming interaction with less than
five seconds
Play online multi player games
while traveling at high speeds or
sitting outside
Broadband access in
Remote location
4G will provide a wireless alternative for
broadband access
I will provide first opportunity for broadband
access in remote locations without an
infrastructure to support cable or DSL access.
