3. 0G
Half-duplex lines
-One speaks, the other cannot speak.
Push-to-talk protocol (PTT)
Voice only
Two-way radio / “Walkie-Talkies”
Mobile Telephone System (MTS)
1946 MTS
1962 IMTS
2012
4. 1G
Analog cell phones
Voice only
1980s to 1990s
NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephone)
AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System)
Problem with 1G:
- Not encrypted
- Prone to distortions
2012
5. 2G
1991
- Digital networks
- SMS
Multiplexing : TDMA and CDMA
Mainly circuit : switched
Standards : GSM, iDEN
1999 2.5G
GPRS : Data rate up to 128 kb/s
EDGE : Data rate up to 384 kb/s
TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access)
CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access)
GSM: Originally from Europe but used worldwide
iDEN: Proprietary network used by Nextel in the US2012
6. 3G
Combines with IP based services
Video-conferencing
Music downloading
Transfer of data:
Emails
Documents
CDMA2000, UMTS, W-CDMA
Problem:
Cost of deploying
Different places, different air interface
CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access)
UMTS- UNIVERSAL MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM
W-CDMA: Wideband Code Division Multiple Access

7. 4G CONCEPT
“The user has freedom and flexibility
to select any desired service with
reasonable QoS and affordable price,
anytime, anywhere.”
4G networks are projected to
provide speeds of 100 Mbps
while moving and 1 Gbps while
stationary.

12. WiMAX
(World Interoperability for Microwave Access)
Two main applications of WiMAX:
1.Fixed WiMAX:
Fixed WiMAX applications are point-to-multipoint
enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an
alternative to cable and DSL for homes and businesses.
2.Mobile WiMAX:
Mobile WiMAX offers the full mobility of
cellular networks at true broadband speeds.

14. Wi-Fi vs WiMAX
Wi-Fi
1.Uses shared spectrum
2.Operates at short distance
WiMAX:
1.Uses private Licensed Spectrum
2.Operates at larger public areas
2012
15. – Embed 4G technology
into all end-user devices
– Develop mobile personal
gateways
– Develop external
interfaces with 4G
peripherals
