1st and 2nd Generation Cellular Systems Overview
• This is a background session to
set the scene for UMTS,
essentially a cellular history lesson
• Firstly we will examine what we
mean by cellular communications
• We will look at different
generations of cellular and
briefly at major standards
• This will allow us to see why 3G
has moved forward in the way that

What is Cellular?
• There are three major types of
terrestrial mobile communications
technologies
• Cellular
 Users are provided wide area
mobility from multiple base stations
with handover permitted
• Cordless Communication
 Users are provided limited mobility
from a dedicated base station
• Paging
 Brief numeric, alphanumeric or voice
messages are sent to the subscriber
typically using simulcasting

different frequencies are used in
different cells in a cellular

• The ITU issued a request for proposals for the Radio
Transmission Technology (RTT) for IMT-2000 to be submitted
in June 1998
• Following this a self evaluation of the RTT submitted was
required by September 1998
• Candidate technologies were then evaluated according to their
compliance with the goals for IMT-2000

• A number of technologies were submitted many of which had
distinct similarities
• Of course operators were generally keen on a single standard
to allow global roaming and economies of scale
