10. WHAT IS GSM ?
Global system for mobile (GSM) is a second
generation cellular standard developed to cater voice
services and data delivery using digital modulation.

11. GSM: HISTORY
• Developed by Group Spécial Mobile (founded 1982) which was an initiative of
CEPT ( Conference of European Post and Telecommunication )
• Aim : to replace the incompatible analog system
• Presently the responsibility of GSM standardization resides with special mobile group
under ETSI ( European telecommunication Standards Institute )
• Full set of specifications phase-I became available in 1990
• Under ETSI, GSM is named as “ Global System for Mobile communication “
• Today many providers all over the world use GSM (more than 135 countries in Asia,
Africa, Europe, Australia, America)
• More than 1300 million subscribers in world and 45 million subscriber in India.

49. BLUETOOTH
Contents:
• What is Bluetooth?
• How Bluetooth Technology works ?
• Advantages of Bluetooth Technology
• Disadvantage of Bluetooth Technology
• Future of Bluetooth Technology

50. 1. Bluetooth technology is simple, secure and everywhere.
2. This technology enable users to automatically and easily connect
a wide range of computing and telecommunication devices.
• What is Bluetooth?

51. 3. Bluetooth is actually a IEEE 802.15.1 standard for wireless
communications between devices within a range of 10metres.
4. This is in the globally unlicensed Industrial, Scientific and
Medical (ISM) 2.4 GHz short-range radio frequency band.
5. Bluetooth was officially introduced in 1998 and its intended
basic purpose was to be a wire replacement technology in order
to rapidly transfer voice and data.

52. 6. Bluetooth “Special Interest Group” (SIG) is a group of
companies from the telecommunications, computing and
networking industries that promotes the development and
deployment of Bluetooth technology.
7. Bluetooth is a high-speed, low-power microwave wireless
link technology, designed to connect phones, laptops, PDAs
and other portable equipments together with little or no work
by the user.
8. Unlike infra-red, Bluetooth does not require any line-of-
sight positioning of connected devices like Infra-red.

53. 9. Connections can be point-to-point or multipoint. The
maximum range is 10 meters but can be extended to 100 meters
by increasing the power. Bluetooth devices are protected from
radio interference by changing their frequencies arbitrarily up to
a maximum of 1600 times a second, a technique known as
frequency hopping.
10. Each Bluetooth device could be connected to 200 other
devices. It supports both point to point and point to multipoint
connections.

54. DISADVANTAGE
• Bluetooth has a low data rate( i.e.1 MBps) in comparison to
infra-red(i.e.4 MBps).
• Also some other technologies are available in market which
required less power consumption.(Zigbee)..

55. ZIGBEE
• IEEE 802.15.4 specification for low data rates technology allows for
devices to communicate with one another with very low power
consumption
• ZigBee-based products can access up to 16 different 5 MHz channels
within the 2.4 GHz band, several of which do not overlap those of
802.11 and WiFi. ZigBee has been designed to transmit slowly. It has
a data rate of 250kbps while WiFi is hitting throughput of 20Mbps or
more.
• All ZigBee networks have at least one reduced-functionality device
(RFD), the full-functional device (FFD) and a network coordinator.

57. WIRELESS SPACE

58. • It uses 27 channels in 3 separate frequency bands
• The 902–928 MHz band serves the Americas and much of the Pacific Rim,
with 10 channels and a burst rate of 40 Kbps.
• PHY layer uses binary phase shift keying (BPSK) in the 868/915 MHz bands
and offset quadrature phase shift keying (O-QPSK) at 2.4 GHz. Both are
robust and simple forms of modulation that work well in low SNR.

62. (LOW-COST LOW-POWER 2.4 GHZ RF TRANSCEIVER)
•2400-2483.5 MHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) and
SRD (Short Range Device) frequency band.
•The RF transceiver is integrated with a highly configurable
baseband modem. The modem supports various modulation formats
and has a configurable data rate up to 500 kBaud.

68. GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS)
• GPS is a revolutionary navigation system
• 24 satellites orbiting the earth
• Provide location within meters or less anywhere on the globe.
• Now available in many cars as an option
• Created and operated by the US Department of Defense

69. MORE ABOUT GPS SATELLITES
• Constellation of 27 satellites
• (24 active + 3 spare)
• Orbit 12,600 miles above earth
• (10,900 nautical miles)
• Satellites in 12 hour orbit
• First satellite launched in 1978, 24th became operational in 1994
• Selective availability was removed in May, 2000
• Handheld receivers are now much more accurate

70. HOW DOES GPS WORK?

71. DISTANCE CALCULATION
• Measuring distance by measuring time
• Satellites send coded signals indicating their position in space and the
exact time the signals are being sent
• Receivers use the time it takes signal to travel from satellite to receiver
to determine distance from satellite to receiver
• Information from multiple satellites is used to determine position
through ‘triangulation’.

72. POSITION IS BASED ON TIME
T + 3
Distance between satellite and
receiver = “3 times the speed of
light”
T
Signal leaves satellite at
time “T”
Signal is picked up by the
receiver at time “T + 3”

73. THREE SATELLITES (2D POSITIONING)

74. SOURCES OF GPS ERROR
• Standard Positioning Service (SPS ): Civilian Users
• Source Amount of Error
 Satellite clocks: 1.5 to 3.6 meters
 Orbital errors: < 1 meter
 Ionosphere: 5.0 to 7.0 meters
 Troposphere: 0.5 to 0.7 meters
 Receiver noise: 0.3 to 1.5 meters
 Multipath: 0.6 to 1.2 meters
 Selective Availability (see notes)
 User error: Up to a kilometer or more
