This document discusses 4G wireless networks, which will provide transmission speeds from 100Mbps to 1Gbps. 4G networks will be fully IP-based and integrated, allowing for any service from anywhere. They will require new technologies like OFDMA and MIMO to achieve the high data rates and capacity goals. 4G will also require new network components like IPv6 and advanced antenna systems to support the large number of wireless devices and provide increased network capacity and range.

2. INTRODUCTION
• 4G(also known as beyond 3G), an abbreviation
of fourth generation, is a term used to
describe the next complete evolution in
wireless communications.
• The international telecommunication
regulatory and standardization bodies are
working for commercial deployment of 4G
networks roughly in the 2011-2015 time scale.

What is 4G ?
• The next generation of wireless technology that promises
higher data rates and expanded multimedia services.
• A completely new fully IP-based integrated system or
systems and network of networks achieved after
convergence of wired and wireless networks.
• Capable to provide 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps, respectively in
outdoor and indoor environments
• End-to-end QoS and high security.
• Any kind of services at any time as per user requirements,
anywhere with seamless interoperability
• Always on, affordable cost, one billing and fully
personalized.

Motivation for 4G Research Before 3G Has Not Been
Deployed?
• Needs of future high-performance applications like
multi-media, full-motion video, wireless
teleconferencing
• Need global mobility and service portability
• Difficulty in continuously increasing bandwidth and
high data rate to meet multimedia services
requirements, together with the coexistence of
different services needing different QoS.
• Need wider bandwidth
• Need all digital packet network that utilizes IP in its
fullest form with converged voice and data
capability.

Objectives
• A spectrally efficient system (in bits/s/Hz and
bits/s/Hz/site)
• High network capacity: more simultaneous users per
cell
• A nominal data rate of 100 Mbit/s while the client
physically moves at high speeds relative to the
station, and 1 Gbit/s while client and station are in
relatively fixed positions as defined by the ITU-R
• A data rate of at least 100 Mbit/s between any two
points in the world

11. • Smooth handoff across heterogeneous
networks
• Seamless connectivity and global roaming
across multiple networks
• Interoperability with existing wireless
standards and

Principal Technologies
• Base band techniques
– OFDMA: To exploit the frequency selective
channel property
– MIMO: To attain ultra high spectral efficiency
• Adaptive radio interface
• Modulation, spatial processing including multi-antenna
and multi-user MIMO

16. 16
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)
• Transmission technique based
on FDM
• In FDM
– Multiple signals are sent
out at the same time, but on
different frequencies
• In OFDMA
– A single transmitter
transmits on many different
orthogonal (independent)
frequencies (typically
dozens to thousands)
– Frequencies closely spaced
– Each only has room for
Narrowband signal

17. 17
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing
(OFDM)
Advantage of OFDM
• High spectrum efficiency
• Resistance against multipath
interference
• Ease of filtering out noise
• Combining OFDM technique
with other techniques
(possible to achieve more
advantages e.g. MC-CDMA)
Disadvantage of OFDM
• Suffers from time-variations in
the channel : severely degrades
performance
• Circuitry must be very linear

18. 18
Components – IPV6
• In the context of 4G, IPv6 support is essential in order
to support a large number of wireless-enabled devices.
• By increasing the number of IP addresses, IPv6
removes the need for Network Address Translation
(NAT).
• IPv6 also enables a number of applications with better
multicast, security, and route optimization capabilities.

19. 19
Components - Advanced Antenna Systems
• Transmitting & receiving antennas
• Resolve problem of diminishing spectrum availability
• Doesn’t require increase power or additional
frequency
• Fix no. of beams that can be selected to follow
devices as it moves about
• Advantages:
– Increased capacity
– Increased range
– Less power use for transmission
– Reductions in handoff rate
– New services
– Increase security

What is needed to Build 4G Networks of Future?
• Lower Price Points Only Slightly Higher than
Alternatives
• More Coordination Among Spectrum Regulators
Around the World
• More Academic Research
• Standardization of wireless networks
• A Voice-independent Business Justification Thinking
• Integration Across Different Network Topologies
• Non-disruptive or proper Implementation
