G? G Generation • Generation of wireless phone technology
It is useful to think of cellular Network/telephony in terms of
generations:
0G: Briefcase-size mobile radio telephones
1G: Analog cellular telephony
2G: Digital cellular telephony
3G: High-speed digital cellular telephony (including video telephony)
4G: IP-based “anytime, anywhere” voice, data, and multimedia telephony
at faster data rates than 3G
(to be deployed in 2012–2015)
4. 3.1: What are the mean of (1G, 2G, 3G and 4G)
0 th Generation
• Pre-cell phone mobile telephony technology, such as radio
telephones that some had in cars before the arrival of cell phones.
• Communication was possible through voice only.
• These mobile telephones were usually mounted in cars or trucks.
Technologies :

5. 3.1: What are the mean of (1G, 2G, 3G and 4G)
1 st Generation
• Analog cell phones: A voice call gets modulated to a higher frequency of about 150/900 MHz and it is transmitted
between radio towers. This is done using a technique called Frequency-Division Multiple Access (FDMA).
• First commercially automated cellular network in 1979
Technologies:
FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access)
NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephone)
AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone System)
Problems :
- Poor voice quality
- Poor battery life
- Poor security due to lack of encryption
- Frequent call drops, limitation on the number of calls that could be made simultaneously

19. 3.1: What are the mean of (1G, 2G, 3G and 4G)
3rd Generation
• 2G networks were built mainly for voice data and slow transmission. Due
to rapid changes in user expectation, they do not meet today's wireless
needs.
• 3G networks provide the ability to transfer voice data and non-voice data
over the same network simultaneously.
• Applications :
• Internet, e-mail, fax, e-commerce, music,
• video clips, and videoconferencing
• The aim of the 3G is to allow for more coverage and growth
with minimum investment.

23. 3.1: What are the mean of (1G, 2G, 3G and 4G)
4th Generation
• 4G development focuses around achieving ultra-broadband speeds, competing
with and in some cases outstripping the speeds provided by your home internet
connection.
• 4G average speeds are targeted to be in the 100Mbps to 1Gbps range, roughly
10 to 100 times (dependent on location) faster than 3G networks. At that rate,
that 4-minute MP3 download would take you mere seconds.
• A 4G phone can run on a 3G network just fine, and it’ll be ready for the 4G
revolution when the time comes.

24. 3.1: What are the mean of (1G, 2G, 3G and 4G)
4th Generation (cont.)
• There are two major systems in U.S, which are using the 4G mobile
technology – WiMax, backed by Clearwire and Long Term Evolution or LTE.
• WiMax’s majority owner is Sprint Nextel. Sprint currently has two mobile phones,
the HTC Evo and the Samsung Epic, which achieve speeds 10 times faster than
3G; coverage is still limited to major metropolitan cities. Outside of these areas,
data speeds revert to 3G.
• Long Term Evolution is backed by Verizon. According to cnet, Verizon has
completed initial 4G wireless test, but not available for widespread use until end
of 2012.

The design is that 4G will be based
on OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing), which is the
key enabler of 4G technology.
Other technological aspects of 4G
are adaptive processing and smart
antennas, both of which will be
used in 3G networks and enhance
rates when used in with OFDM

31. 3.3 Smart phone
Phones used to be all about making calls, but now your mobile can do so much more. The
range of new touchscreen smartphones allows you to access the internet, use social media, get
live news updates, play music and video, and much more. They almost universally use
touchscreens for control, however, which can be a challenge for people new to the technology.
A smartphone can:
Make voice calls (of course!) -Make video calls -Access the internet and browse the web -Take
photos, and upload them to the web -Navigate with GPS if the phone has GPS built-in -Play
back music and video stored on the phone (and connect to a PC to copy media to it) -Manage
your contacts and appointments -Send emails -Play in-built games -Run new applications and
games downloaded for the internet.

How to turn the phone on and off?
How to make a call and take a picture ?
How to download new apps for your smartphone. ?
People use them as personal organisers, web browsers, music mixers, media players, to access
email and Facebook, to send and receive electronic business cards, to navigate to a destination,
to share media and much, much more. Spend even a little bit of time playing with the apps
built into your phone and downloading new ones from the App Store and Google Play and
you’ll no doubt be amazed at all the things your smartphone can do.
