4G TECHNOLOGY PRESENTED BY VISHAL EASWARAN.B
4G Definition • 4G is not one defined technology or standard, but rather a collection of technologies at creating fully packet-switched networks optimized for data. • 4G Networks are projected to provide speed of 100Mbps while moving and 1Gbps while stationary.
2G Technology • Around 1980’s • Better quality & capacity - More people could use there phones at the same time • Digital Signals – consist of 0’s & 1’s
Previous Technology - 2G • Digital – consist of 0’s and 1’s • Digital signal: • 1.Low level, 2.High level, 3.Rising edge and 4.Falling edge
Previous Technology - 2G • Digital data can be compressed and multiplexed much more effectively than analog voice encodings • Multiplexing -multiple analog message signals or digital data streams are combined into one signal • For 1 and 2G standards, bandwidth maximum is 9.6 Kbit/sec, (I.E) approximately 6 times slower than an ISDN
Previous Technology - 2G • Allows for lower powered radio signals that require less battery • Power–CODEC introduction -program that encodes and decodes digital data stream or signal • Translates data from digital to analog and vice versa
Advantages in Previous Technology - 2G • The digital voice encoding allows digital error checking • increase sound quality • lowers the noise level • Going all-digital allowed for the introduction of digital data transfer • SMS –“short message service” • E-mail
Disadvantages in Previous Technology - 2G • Cell towers had a limited coverage area • Jagged Decay curve • Abrupt dropped calls • Analog –gradual sound reduction • “Spotty” coverage
3G Technology • Large capacity and broadband capabilities • Allows the transmission of 384kbps for mobile systems and up to 2Mbps • Increased spectrum efficiency –5Mhz • A greater number of users that can be simultaneously supported by a radio frequency bandwidth • High data rates at lower incremental cost than 2G–Global roaming
Previous Technology - 3G • CDMA –Code Division Multiple Access • Form of multiplexing • Does not divide up the channel by time or frequency • Encodes data with a special code associated with each channel
CDMA? • CDMA - Code Division Multiple Access • Each phone call is uniquely encoded and transmitted across the entire spectrum, in a manner known as spread spectrum transmission
Reasons for New Research • Even though 3G has successfully been introduced to mobile users, there are some issues that are debated by 3G providers and users. • High input fees for the 3G service licenses • Great differences in the licensing terms • 3G phones are expensive
What is 4G? • Fourth Generation Technology • Faster and more reliable • 100 Mb/s • Lower cost than previous generations • Multi-standard wireless system • Bluetooth, Wired, Wireless • Ad Hoc Networking • IPv6 Core • OFDM used instead of CDMA • Potentially IEEE standard 802.11n • Most information is proprietary
Communications Architecture • Broadcast layer: • fix access points, (i.e.) cell tower connected by fiber, microwave, or satellite (ISP) • Ad-hoc/hot-spot layer: • wireless LANs (i.e. internet at Starbuck’s)
Communications Architecture • Personal Layer Gateway: • devices that connect to upper layers; cell phone, fax, voice, data modem, MP3 players, PDAs • Info-Sensor layer: • environmental sensors • Fiber-optic wire layer: • high speed subterranean labyrinth of fiber optic cables and repeaters
Ad Hoc Networks • Spontaneous self organization of networks of devices • Not necessarily connected to internet • 4G will create hybrid wireless networks using Ad Hoc networks • Form of mesh networking–Very reliable
Enhance Mobile Gaming • Experience enhance wireless capabilities that deliver mobile gaming interaction with less than five seconds • Play online multi player games while traveling at high speeds or sitting outside
Broadband access in Remote location • 4G will provide a wireless alternative for broadband access • 4G will provide first opportunity for broadband access in remote locations without an infrastructure to support cable or DSL access.
