4G TECHNOLOGY

The Technology Ahead

By PRASHIT PRAKHAR SAURABH KUMAR ASHWINI KUMAR SINGH DEEPAK KUMAR

 4G Wireless Technology
Fourth Generation Wireless System Packet switched wireless system Wide area coverage

High throughput

 Why 4G ?
To be cost effective To provide high spectral efficiency Seamless mobility (roaming)

 Technology Used
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Ultra Wide Radio Band (UWB) Millimeter wireless

 Earlier Generations
Early 1980s, first generation (1G) systems
marked by analog frequency modulation used primarily for voice communications

Late 1980s, Second generation (2G) wireless

communications systems

Widespread use today : 2.5G

serves as a stepping stone to 3G

 Contd.,
3G systems
Appearance in late 2002 and in 2003 Voice and paging services Teleconferencing Internet access

Disadvantages (3G)
Bandwidth (ranging from 144 kbps (for vehicle mobility applications) to 2 Mbps (for indoor static applications)

 Key features of 4G
Interactive multimedia Voice, streaming video

Internet
Broadband services IP based mobile system

 Contd.,
High speed High capacity Low cost per bit

Seamless switching
Ad hoc and multi hop networks Better spectral efficiency

 Key Challenges
Spectral Efficiencies Multi Carrier Modulation (MCM)

Signal Processing and optimizations

Extremely Fast Arithmetic (esp. multiplication)

 Contd.,
Smart / Intelligent Antennas More Efficient and Sensitive Transreceiver Designs

4G Trans-receiver Processing Example

 Summary
In short
IP + WPAN + WLAN + WMAN + WWAN + any other stragglers = 4G

Thank You.
