  3. Wireless Networks Devices Wireless Solution Middleware Applications Wireless Web Primer Overview Wireless Web solutions require four key components

  4. Wireless Networks It’s All About Standards and Speed

  5. Wireless Networks Evolution 1G analog digital circuit-switched networks connection is persistent (requires a dedicated path for the duration of the connection) AMPS Voice AMPS = Advanced Mobile Phone System a cell is subdivided by frequency into distinct channels, which allows multiple access to cells; the service can assign only one subscriber at a time to each channel within a cell

  6. Wireless Networks Evolution 1G analog digital circuit-switched networks connection is persistent • challenges • user demand exceeded available bandwidth • voice only - no data • solutions • allow “multiple access” -- i.e. more users per channel and frequency • begin convergence of media types • leads us to 2G AMPS Voice AMPS = Advanced Mobile Phone System a cell is subdivided by frequency into distinct channels, which allows multiple access to cells; the service can assign only one subscriber at a time to each channel within a cell

  7. Wireless Networks Evolution 2G sidebar wireless network standards: TDMA and CDMA move to multiple access still circuit-switched Messages reassembled by original timeslots time slot 1 =“I love beer” message destination time slot 2 = “How are you?” TDMA message origin time slot 3 = “Call me back” Time Division Multiple Access 3 separate user messages carried over same channel I How Call love are me beer you back 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3

  8. Wireless Networks Evolution 2G sidebar wireless network standards: TDMA and CDMA move to multiple access still circuit-switched Messages reassembled by original assigned codes code A5 =“I love beer” message destination code B2 = “How are you?” CDMA message origin code X7 = “Call me back” Code Division Multiple Access up to 6 separate user messages carried over same channel I How Call love are me beer you back A5 B2 X7 A5 B2 X7 A5 B2 X7 Fact: 2G CDMA can provide approximately 10 to 20 times the capacity of analog AMPS and four to six times the capacity of TDMA

  9. Wireless Networks Evolution 2G analog digital move to multiple access still circuit-switched AMPS dedicated data networks (no voice) Voice IS-95 cdmaOne GSM IS-136 CDPD DataTAC Mobitex 19.2 kbps 14.4 - 33 kbps 14.4 - 58 kbps CDPD =Cellular Digital Packet Data GSM =Global System for Mobile Comm. CDMA = Code Division Multiple Access TDMA = Time Division Multiple Access CDMA TDMA

  10. Wireless Networks Evolution 2G • challenges • multimedia data content of the ‘wireless web’ (i.e. graphics, video) requires • much greater bandwidth • latency issues associated with dial-up • solutions • expand data capacity of wireless networks • move to packet-switched (IP-based) network • leads us to 2.5 and 3+G analog digital move to multiple access still circuit-switched AMPS dedicated data networks (no voice) Voice IS-95 cdmaOne GSM IS-136 CDPD DataTAC Mobitex 19.2 kbps 14.4 - 33 kbps 14.4 - 58 kbps CDPD =Cellular Digital Packet Data GSM =Global System for Mobile Comm. CDMA = Code Division Multiple Access TDMA = Time Division Multiple Access CDMA TDMA

  11. Wireless Networks Evolution 2.5G analog digital move from ‘dial-up’ circuit-switched data to ‘always on’ packet-switched data EDGE AMPS 144+ kbps 115 kbps 1xRTT 1xEV GPRS 384 kbps IS-136+ GPRS-136 dedicated data networks (no voice) Voice IS-95 cdmaOne GSM IS-136 CDPD DataTAC Mobitex 19.2 kbps 14.4 - 33 kbps 14.4 - 58 kbps EDGE = Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution GPRS = General Packet Radio Service CDMA TDMA

  12. Wireless Networks Evolution 3+G analog digital high-speed data services to support multimedia applications cdma 2000 IMT-2000 W-CDMA UMTS IMT-2000 2+ mbps 2+ mbps AMPS 1xRTT 1xEV EDGE GPRS dedicated data networks (no voice) Voice IS-136+ GPRS-136 144 kbps (up to 5 mbps) 384 kbps 115 kbps IS-95 cdmaOne GSM IS-136 CDPD DataTAC Mobitex 19.2 kbps 14.4 - 33 kbps 14.4 - 58 kbps W-CDMA = Wideband CDMA UMTS= Universal Mobile Telecommunications System IMT-2000= International Mobile Telecommunications in the year 2000 (IMT-2000) CDMA TDMA

  13. Wireless Networks Evolution 3+G high-speed data services to support multimedia applications analog • current challenges • device manufacturers need to develop network compatible products • wireless spectrum auctions were a huge money grab for governments, left little money left for carriers to actually build & deploy networks • BUT capital markets have dried up for telecom market -- for carriers and manufacturers alike • 3G and beyond will likely not be achieved before 2005, and some are now speculating 2007 digital W-CDMA CDMA 2000 AMPS 1xRTT 1xEV GPRS EDGE Voice dedicated data networks (no voice) 384 kbps CDPD DataTAC Mobitex IS-95 cdmaOne GSM IS-136 D-AMPS 19.2 kbps 14.4 - 33 kbps 14.4 - 58 kbps W-CDMA = Wideband CDMA TDMA CDMA
