Abstract—Wireless Communication is the most important
development of its time. A decade ago who would have thought
of there would be no hassle of the wires and technology would
actually become wireless. The aim of the report is to compare
how wireless technology has been developed with time and now
how fast and easy it is compared to its past position. The results
of the research show that engineers make advancements and
surprise the audience. They are and will always surprise the
new generation of their time and that is also the future vision of
Microsoft.
I. INTRODUCTION
M ICROSOFT is one of the few corporations, whichare always
found in the list of the leaders of the
computer technology. William H. Gates established it in 1975
and since then Microsoft has been known for its inventions
and innovations and now recently they put forward their
future vision of productivity. According to the videos they
released, technology is everywhere. They believe that within
5-10 years everything will be replaced by technology, which

2. would be fast and user friendly. A decade ago who would have
thought that there would be a time when technology would
be wireless. Wireless communication is when information
or any sort of data is being transferred from one point to
another without any physical attachment. Distances can be
short, such as a few meters for television remote control, or
as far as thousands or even millions of kilometers for deep-
space radio communications. It encompasses various types
of fixed, mobile, and portable applications, including two-
way radios, cellular telephones, personal digital assistants, and
wireless networking. Other examples of wireless technology
include GPS units, garage door openers, wireless computer
mice, keyboards and headsets, headphones, radio receivers,
satellite television, broadcast television, broadcast television
and cordless telephones. [1, ]
II. MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS
A. Advancement of Mobile Wireless Internet
Advancement is a gradual process. Wireless communication
is on the process for some time now. 2G were developed
for voice communications. It was for sending data over 2G
channels by using modem. It provided adat rates in the order
of 9.6 kbps. Then after a while 3G systems were introduced.
Its goal was for voice and data transmission, multi-megabit
Internet access, voice-activated calls, and multimedia content.
CDMA system evolved to CDMA2000. GSM, IS-136 and
PDC evolved to W-CDMA (wideband CDMA)(also called
UMTS). It had up to 2.048 Mbps data-rates. 4G mobile
technologies is the mobile race to innovation. Wireless systems
were further improved and 4G systems came into being. It is
best known for its seamless mobility (roaming). It allows to
roam freely from one standard to another, Integrate different
modes of wireless communications indoor networks (e.g.,

3. wireless LANs and Bluetooth); cellular signals; radio and TV;
satellite communications, 100 Mb/se full mobility (wide area);
1 Gbit/s low mobility (local area), IP-based communications
systems for integrated voice, data, and video, Stream Control
Transmission Protocol (SCTP) several data streams within a
single connection, Service Location Protocol (SLP)
B. Demand Of Technology
The demand for ubiquitous personal communications is
driving the development of new networking techniques that
accommodate mobile voice and data users who move through-
out buildings, cities or countries. The cellular telephone system
is responsible for providing coverage throughout a particular
territory, called a coverage region or market. The interconnec-
tion of many such systems defines a wireless network capable
of providing service to mobile users throughout a country or
continent.
Multiple access schemes are used to allow many mobile
users to share simultaneously a finite amount of radio spec-
trum. The sharing of spectrum is required to achieve high
capacity by simultaneously allocating the available bandwidth
to multiple users. For high quality communications, this must
be done without severe degradation in the performance of the
system.
III. LTE (TELECOMMUNICATION)
A. Long term evolution
LTE, an initialism of long-term evolution, marketed as
4G LTE, is a standard for wireless communication of high-
speed data for mobile phones and data terminals. It is based
on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA network technologies,
increasing the capacity and speed using a different radio

4. interface together with core network improvements.
B. Overview
LTE is a standard for wireless data communications technol-
ogy and an evolution of the GSM/UMTS standards. The goal
of LTE was to increase the capacity and speed of wireless data
networks using new DSP (digital signal processing) techniques

and modulations that were developed around the turn of the
millennium. A further goal was the redesign and simplifica-
tion of the network architecture to an IP-based system with
significantly reduced transfer latency compared to the 3G
architecture. The LTE wireless interface is incompatible with
2G and 3G networks, so that it must be operated on a separate
wireless spectrum.

C. Features
-Peak download rates up to 299.6 Mbit/s and upload rates
up to 75.4 Mbit/s
-Improved support for mobility, exemplified by support
for terminals moving at up to 350 km/h (220 mph) or 500
km/h (310 mph) depending on the frequency band.
-Support for all frequency bands currently used by IMT
systems by ITU-R. [2, ]
Figure2 In this figure We can see the growth of wireless

5. communications from Year 1998 to 2012. It stated that how
rapidly it increased the consumers throughout the years. [3, ]

D. Conclusion
Technology innovates time by time. There will be many
other inventions in the future for which we cannot even think
of and someone writing this same kind of report after 20 years
would consider everything as old and slow, which I considered
as the great advancements of the time. Wireless communica-
tion surely has made life easy and quick and technology that
is not wireless today may be available in future. The question
might arise that how much more advancement will take place
but do not forget that there is always room for improvement.
