 OBJECTIVE & METHODOLOGY -STUDY OF 4G
TECHNOLOGY
The objectives of paper are to study of evolution of 4G services in India and study its impact on various
stakeholders in the economy including its sosio economic benefits, impact of 4G on usage pattern of mobile
users and study impact of 4G communication technology on mobile operators. Exploratory method was adopted
to attain the research objective. Various books, articles, working papers and websites were referred to gain and
interpret responses of 4G services in India

Study of 4G technology In India :

Introduction of 4G technology :
 4G = 4th Generation mobile communication A 4G system provides an end-to-end IP solution where voice,
data and streamed multimedia can be served to users on an "Anytime, Anywhere" basis at higher data rates
than previous generations.
 Data rates (with wide area coverage and significant mobility) = 50 to 100 Mbps.
 Wider bandwidth
 End-to-end Quality of service
 High security
 Offering any kind of services anytime, anywhere
4G is the fourth generation of broadband cellular network technology, succeeding 3G, and preceding 5G. A 4G
system must provide capabilities defined by ITU in IMT Advanced. Potential and current applications include
amended mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video conferencing,
and 3D television.
The first-release WIMAX standard was commercially deployed in South Korea in 2006 and has since been
deployed in most parts of the world.
The first-release Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard was commercially deployed in Oslo, Norway,
and Stockholm, Sweden in 2009, and has since been deployed throughout most parts of the world. It has,
however, been debated whether first-release versions should be considered 4G LTE.
4G-4 th Generation of mobile communication. A descendant to 2G and 3G technology aiming to provide the
very high data transfer rates. Best described in one word “MAGIC”. Mobile multimedia Anytime MAGIC 
Anywhere Global mobility support, integrated wireless and personalized services.
What is 4G?
4G takes on a number of equally true definitions, depending on who you are talking to. In simplest terms, 4G is
the next generation of wireless networks that will replace 3G networks sometimes in future. In another context,
4G is simply an initiative by academic R&D labs to move beyond the limitations and problems of 3G which is
having trouble getting deployed and meeting its promised performance and throughput. In reality, as of first half
of 2002, 4G is a conceptual framework for or a discussion point to address future needs of a universal high
speed wireless network that will interface with wire line backbone network seamlessly.

5
VISION OF 4G :
This new generation of wireless is intended to complement and replace the 3G systems, perhaps in 5 to 10 years.
Accessing information anywhere, anytime, with a seamless connection to a wide range of information and
services, and receiving a large volume of information, data, pictures, video, and so on, are the keys of the 4G
infrastructures. The future 4G infrastructures will consist of a set of various networks using IP (Internet protocol)
as a common protocol so that users are in control because they will be able to choose every application and
environment. Based on the developing trends of mobile communication, 4G will have broader bandwidth,
higher data rate, and smoother and quicker hand off and will focus on ensuring seamless service across a
multitude of wireless systems and networks. The key concept is integrating the 4G capabilities with all of the
existing mobile technologies through advanced technologies. Application adaptability and being highly
dynamic are the main features of 4G services of interest to users. These features mean services can be delivered
and be available to the personal preference of different users and support the users' traffic, air interfaces, radio
environment, and quality of service. Connection with the network applications can be transferred into various
forms and levels correctly and efficiently. The dominant methods of access to this pool of information will be
the mobile telephone, PDA, and laptop to seamlessly access the voice communication, high-speed information
services, and entertainment broadcast services. Figure 1 illustrates elements and techniques to support the 11
adaptability of the 4G domain. The fourth generation will encompass all systems from various networks, public
to private;

4G MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS :

International Mobile Telecommunications’ - 2000(IMT-2000) and the Universal Mobile Telecommunications
System (UMTS) will be among the first 3G mobile communication systems to offer wireless wide band
multimedia services using the Internet protocol. Two important technological changes will facilitate this
advancement. The first change is a shift from last-generation radio-access technologies such as the global
system for mobile (GSM) communication, CDMA One (an IS-95 code division multiple access standard), and
personal digital cellular (PDC) toward more sophisticated systems with higher data-transfer rates such as the
enhanced data. fourth-generation mobile communication systems will combine standardized streaming with
arrange unique services to provide high-quality content that meets the specific needs of the rapidly growing
mobile market. GSM environment (EDGE), wide band CDMA (WCDMA), and cdma2000.As Figure 1
illustrates, the second important technology shift is from a vertically integrated to a horizontally layered service
environment. A horizontally layered4G service network seamlessly integrates Internet protocol transport into a
mobile service environment with a variety of access networks, opening up many new opportunities for IP-based
mobile applications. For example, mobile terminals will be able to access existing Internet content through
protocols and markup languages such as WAP and WML that are optimized for wireless application scenarios.
4Gmobile communications will have transmission rates up to 20 Mbps_ higher than of 3G. The technology is
expected to be available by the year 2010. 4G is being developed with the following objectives: 1. Speeds up to
50 times higher than of 3G. However, the actual available bandwidth of 4G is expected to be about 10 Mbps.2.
Three-dimensional virtual reality_imagine personal video avatars and realistic holograms, and the ability to feel
as if you are present at an event even if you are not. People, places, and products will be able to interact as the
cyber and real world’s merge.

The fourth generation :
4G mobile communications will have transmission rates up to 20 Mbps—higher than of 3G. The technology is
expected to be available by the year2010. Presently, NTT Do Como and Hewlett-Packard are on their agenda to
make it available by the year 2006.4G is being developed with the following objectives:
1. Speeds up to 50 times higher than of 3G.However, the actual available bandwidth of 4G is expected to be
about 10 Mbps.
2. Three-dimensional virtual reality—imagine personal video avatar and realistic holograms, and the ability to
feel as if you are present at an event even if you are not. People, places, and products will be able to interact as
the cyber and real world’s merge.
3. Increased interaction between corroborating technologies; the smart card in your phone will automatically
pay for goods as you pass a linked payment kiosk, or will tell your car to warm-up in the morning as your phone
has noted you leaving the house. Ericsson and the University of California are jointly researching CDMA
wireless access technology, advanced antenna systems, next-generation mobile Internet, quality of service,
power amplifier technology, and wireless access networks.Other 4G applications include high-performance
streaming of multimedia content based on agent technology and cable media coding methods. 4G will solve
problems like limited bandwidth in 3G when people are moving and uncertainty about the availability of
bandwidth for streaming to all users at all times. One of the key requirements is to realize a wireless 4G IP-
based access system. The ultimate objective is to create a protocol suite and radio communication schemes to
achieve broadband mobile Communication in 4G wireless systems. Anew protocol suite for 4G wireless
systems Supported by Department of Defense (DOD) contains:

1. Transport-layer protocols
2. Error-control protocols
3. Medium-access protocol
4. Mobility management
5. Simulation test bed
6. Physical test bed

Motivation for 4G Research Before 3G Has Not Been Deployed?

 3G performance may not be sufficient to meet needs of future high-performance applications like
multimedia, full-motion video, wireless teleconferencing. We need a network technology that extends
3G capacity by an order of magnitude.
 There are multiple standards for 3G making it difficult to roam and inter operate across networks. we
need global mobility and service portability
 3G is based on primarily a wide-area concept. We need hybrid networks that utilize both wireless LAN
(hot spot) concept and cell or base-station wide area network design.
 We need wider bandwidth Researchers have come up with spectrally more efficient modulation schemes
that can not be retrofitted into 3G infrastructure
 We need all digital packet networks that utilize IP in its fullest form with converged voice and data
capability

WHY 4G OVER 3G ?
4G (LTE) is quicker than 3G 4G holds:  less buffering better audio quality improved gaming experience
streaming services with reduced lag. Our 4G Plus network uses the 1800 & 2300 MHz frequency bands Our
3G Plus network uses the 900 & 2100 MHz frequency bands.

 INTRODUCTION ON SAMSUNG 4G TECHNOLOGY :
Samsung’s first entry into the Canadian market via Videotron

Leveraging the global experience of 5G commercialization from leading 5G markets

including Korea and the U.S., Samsung to accelerate 5G deployments across the globe

Samsung Electronics today announced that it will provide 4G LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) and 5G radio access
networks solutions to Videotron, a Canadian telecommunications operator. This is the first time Samsung is
delivering network solutions in Canada.

After many successful decades in the cable television and internet access business, Videotron deployed its
wireless operation in 2010 and has been the fastest growing new operator since then. Currently providing 4G
LTE service, Videotron plans to launch commercial LTE-A and 5G services in late 2020.

Starting in early 2020, Samsung will deliver 4G LTE-A solutions across Quebec and Ottawa in which the
solutions from Samsung include Massive MIMO and Dual-band base stations, supporting the operator’s 4G
LTE frequencies, and 5G solutions for both 3.5GHz and 28GHz spectrum.

Providing commercially proven 4G LTE-A solutions and combined with 5G commercial solutions from
global markets, Samsung will increase efficiency in accelerating expansion of 5G service coverage to match
pace with Canada’s 5G commercial launch, which is expected to take place in late 2020.

“We have been all over the world to find the best supplier suited to meet the evolving needs of our customers.
This partnership will allow us to deliver the most advanced telecommunications solutions to Quebecers.
While 4G technology has profoundly transformed telecommunications in the world, LTE Advanced and 5G
will undoubtedly revolutionize the way we interact with our loved ones and the environment around us,” said
Jean François Pruneau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Videotron. “We want to be with our
customers through these major changes and the choice of Samsung as a supplier is not a coincidence, we are
convinced that they represent the best option to achieve this objective. Videotron has always been at the
forefront of major technological changes and the arrival of 5G is no exception. Today’s announcement is a
very proud moment for us.”

“Signing a contract with Videotron to provide 4G LTE-A and 5G network solutions will be marked as a
significant milestone for Samsung, and Samsung will be the part of evolving next generation of mobile
communication technologies in Canada by delivering advanced technologies,” said Paul Kyungwhoon Cheun,
Executive Vice President and Head of Networks Business at Samsung Electronics. “Leveraging the global
experience of 5G commercialization from leading 5G markets like Korea and the U.S., Samsung will increase
its position in 4G LTE and 5G vendor market.”

 TECHNICAL OVERVIEW :

In November 2008, the International Telecommunications Union-Radio communications sector (ITU-R)

specified a set of requirements for 4G standards, named the International Mobile Telecommunications
Advanced (IMT-Advanced) specification, setting peak speed requirements for 4G service at 100 megabits per
second (Mbit/s)(=12.5 megabytes per second) for high mobility communication (such as from trains and cars)
and 1 gigabit per second (Gbit/s) for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users).
Since the first-release versions of Mobile WiMAX and LTE support much less than 1 Gbit/s peak bit rate, they
are not fully IMT-Advanced compliant, but are often branded 4G by service providers. According to operators,
a generation of the network refers to the deployment of a new non-backward-compatible technology. On
December 6, 2010, ITU-R recognized that these two technologies, as well as other beyond-3G technologies that
do not fulfill the IMT-Advanced requirements, could nevertheless be considered "4G", provided they represent
forerunners to IMT-Advanced compliant versions and "a substantial level of improvement in performance and
capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed".
Mobile WiMAX Release 2 (also known as WirelessMAN-Advanced or IEEE 802.16m) and LTE
Advanced (LTE-A) are IMT-Advanced compliant backwards compatible versions of the above two systems,
standardized during the spring 2011, and promising speeds in the order of 1 Gbit/s. Services were expected in
2013.
As opposed to earlier generations, a 4G system does not support traditional circuit-switched telephony service,
but instead relies on all-Internet Protocol (IP) based communication such as IP telephony. As seen below,
the spread spectrum radio technology used in 3G systems is abandoned in all 4G candidate systems and
replaced by OFDMA multi-carrier transmission and other frequency-domain equalization (FDE) schemes,
making it possible to transfer very high bit rates despite extensive multi-path radio propagation (echoes). The
peak bit rate is further improved by smart antenna arrays for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
communications.

Key features :

The following key features can be observed in all suggested 4G technologies:

 Physical layer transmission techniques are as follows:

o MIMO: To attain ultra high spectral efficiency by means of spatial processing including multi-
antenna and multi-user MIMO
o Frequency-domain-equalization, for example multi-carrier modulation (OFDM) in the downlink
or single-carrier frequency-domain-equalization (SC-FDE) in the uplink: To exploit the frequency
selective channel property without complex equalization
o Frequency-domain statistical multiplexing, for example (OFDMA) or (single-carrier FDMA)
(SC-FDMA, a.k.a. linearly precoded OFDMA, LP-OFDMA) in the uplink: Variable bit rate by
assigning different sub-channels to different users based on the channel conditions
o Turbo principle error-correcting codes: To minimize the required SNR at the reception side.
 Channel-dependent scheduling: To use the time-varying channel
 Link adaptation: Adaptive modulation and error-correcting codes
 Mobile IP utilized for mobility
 IP-based femtocells (home nodes connected to fixed Internet broadband infrastructure)
As opposed to earlier generations, 4G systems do not support circuit switched telephony. IEEE 802.20, UMB
and OFDM standards lack soft-handover support, also known as cooperative relaying.

Advantages of 4G technology :
 4G wireless network is a pure data connection , It is an end-to-end Internet Protocol connection , The cellular
providers have the opportunity to offer the data access to a wide variety of devices , 4G technology provides

 The younger generation of mobile device users can stream the music, videos and movies at a much faster
rate than ever before and they can also easily share the information online, 4G technology is affordable , It is
more expensive than the traditional Wi-Fi networks but it also has a lot more advantages to offer to the users .
 4G mobile network offers amazing speed , It has higher bandwidth , Increased bandwidth leads to much
faster data transfer speed , that is especially advantageous for the mobile devices , The users of the 4G
network get the benefit of superior , uninterrupted connectivity , especially for the advanced tasks like video
chats & conferences .
11
 4G networks present much more coverage than the other systems such as Wi-Fi , that forces the users to
depend upon hotspots in each area they visit , Since 4G offers a coverage of 30 miles and more , as also
overlapping network ranges , The users would be assured of complete connectivity at all times .
 One of the biggest drawbacks with Wi-Fi networks is online security , This is especially true for the
mobile devices , 4G networks present complete privacy , security and safety , This is especially beneficial
for corporate establishments & business persons , who hold sensitive information on their respective
mobile devices .
 4G technology provides the users with many options to choose from , Many mobile carriers offer special
introductory offers for new customers , that works out to be very reasonable for them , Seamless switching &
a variety of Quality of Better spectral efficiency , Service driven services , Better scheduling & call
admission control techniques .

Disadvantages of 4G technology :-
 Obtaining the information from the people illegally becomes easier , 4G technology involves the possibility
of some interference though not much , It is capable of being attacked ( jamming frequencies ) and the
invasion of the privacy increased .
 The consumer is forced to buy a new device to support the 4G , New frequencies means new components in
the cell towers , Higher data prices for the consumers , Your current equipment can not be compatible with
the 4G network , It has different network bands for different phones It is expensive & hard to implement .
 4G LTE network has higher data prices for the consumers (expensive) , The consumers are forced to buy a
new device to support 4G LTE , It consumes a lot of battery when in use , It consumes the data very fast
& your battery becomes hot when it is used for a very long time ( like a microwave) .
 4G LTE network needs complex hardware , 4G technology is still limited to certain specified carriers &
regions but the number of cities which have 4G coverage is increasing by the day , it would take its own time
for this network to be available in all the major cities of the world .
 Mobiles compatible with 4G network is cheaper than earlier but this new equipment would have to be
installed to supply these services , But it is a cumbersome process for most mobile carriers planning to
launch these services , 4G mobile technology is still fairly new but it will most likely have its initial glitches
& bugs , which could be quite annoying for the user .
 4G technology use many antennae & transmitters , You would experience much poorer battery life on your
mobile , while on this network , So , you would have to use larger mobile devices with more battery power
to be able to stay online for longer periods of time .
 The users would be forced to use 3G or Wi-Fi connectivity in the areas that do not yet have 4G mobile
network coverage , While this is a problem in itself , the worse issue is that they would still have to pay the
same amount as specified by the 4G network plan , This situation can only be resolved once mobile carriers
expand their 4G network coverage to include more regions .
 4G technology requires expensive infrastructure for operation , This is embodied in the eNodeB’s (Access
Points) & mainly EPC’s (Gateways or Routers) , 4G is optimal for data rates , but not necessarily the best for
Voice services , Some of these services are offloaded (delegated) to Wi-Fi or 3G/GSM cellular technologies
on your phone .

12
LIMITATIONS:-
 Although the concept of 4G communications shows much promise, there are still limitations that must
be addressed. A major concern is inter operability between the signaling techniques that are planned for
use in 4G (3XRTT and WCDMA).
 Cost is another factor that could hamper the progress of 4G technology.
 The equipment required to implement the next-generation network are still very expensive.
 A Key challenge facing deployment of 4G technologies is how to make the network architectures
compatible with each other. This was one of the unmet goals of 3G.
 AS regards the operating area, rural areas and many buildings in metropolitan areas are not being served
well by existing wireless networks

History of 4G Technology :
The 4G system was originally envisioned by the DARPA, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency. DARPA selected the distributed architecture and end-to-end Internet protocol (IP), and believed at an
early stage in peer-to-peer networking in which every mobile device would be both a transceiver and a router
for other devices in the network, eliminating the spoke-and-hub weakness of 2G and 3G cellular systems.Since
the 2.5G GPRS system, cellular systems have provided dual infrastructures: packet switched nodes for data
services, and circuit switched nodes for voice calls. In 4G systems, the circuit-switched infrastructure is
abandoned and only a packet-switched network is provided, while 2.5G and 3G systems require both packet-
switched and circuit-switched network nodes, i.e. two infrastructures in parallel. This means that in 4G
traditional voice calls are replaced by IP telephony.

 In 2002, the strategic vision for 4G—which ITU designated as IMT Advanced—was laid out.
 In 2004, LTE was first proposed by NTT DoCoMo of Japan.[31]
 In 2005, OFDMA transmission technology is chosen as candidate for the HSOPA downlink, later
renamed 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) air interface E-UTRA.
 In November 2005, KT Corporation demonstrated mobile WiMAX service in Busan, South Korea.
 In April 2006, KT Corporation started the world's first commercial mobile WiMAX service in
Seoul, South Korea.
 In mid-2006, Sprint announced that it would invest about US$5 billion in a WiMAX technology
buildout over the next few years ($6.42 billion in real terms). Since that time Sprint has faced many
setbacks that have resulted in steep quarterly losses. On 7 May
2008, Sprint, Imagine, Google, Intel, Comcast, Bright House, and Time Warner announced a pooling of an
average of 120 MHz of spectrum; Sprint merged its Xohm WiMAX division with Clearwire to form a
company which will take the name "Clear".
 In February 2007, the Japanese company NTT DoCoMo tested a 4G communication system prototype
with 4×4 MIMO called VSF-OFCDM at 100 Mbit/s while moving, and 1 Gbit/s while stationary. NTT
DoCoMo completed a trial in which they reached a maximum packet transmission rate of approximately 5
Gbit/s in the down-link with 12×12 MIMO using a 100 MHz frequency bandwidth while moving at
10 km/h, ] and is planning on releasing the first commercial network in 2010.
 In September 2007, NTT Docomo demonstrated e-UTRA data rates of 200 Mbit/s with power
consumption below 100 mW during the test.
 In January 2008, a U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) spectrum auction for the 700 MHz
former analog TV frequencies began. As a result, the biggest share of the spectrum went to Verizon
13
 Wireless and the next biggest to AT&T. Both of these companies have stated their intention of
supporting LTE.
 In January 2008, EU commissioner Viviane Reding suggested re-allocation of 500–800 MHz spectrum
for wireless communication, including WiMAX.
 On 15 February 2008, Skyworks Solutions released a front-end module for e-UTRAN.
 In November 2008, ITU-R established the detailed performance requirements of IMT-Advanced, by
issuing a Circular Letter calling for candidate Radio Access Technologies (RATs) for IMT- Advanced.
 In April 2008, just after receiving the circular letter, the 3GPP organized a workshop on IMT-Advanced
where it was decided that LTE Advanced, an evolution of current LTE standard, will meet or even exceed
IMT-Advanced requirements following the ITU-R agenda.
 In April 2008, LG and Nortel demonstrated e-UTRA data rates of 50 Mbit/s while travelling at 110 km/h.
 On 12 November 2008, HTC announced the first WiMAX-enabled mobile phone, the Max 4G
 On 15 December 2008, San Miguel Corporation, the largest food and beverage conglomerate in
southeast Asia, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Qatar Telecom QSC (Qtel) to build
wireless broadband and mobile communications projects in the Philippines. The joint-venture formed wi-
tribe Philippines, which offers 4G in the country.Around the same time Globe Telecom rolled out the first
WiMAX service in the Philippines.
 On 3 March 2009, Lithuania's LRTC announcing the first operational "4G" mobile WiMAX network in
Baltic states.
 In December 2009, Sprint began advertising "4G" service in selected cities in the United States, despite
average download speeds of only 3–6 Mbit/s with peak speeds of 10 Mbit/s (not available in all markets).
 On 14 December 2009, the first commercial LTE deployment was in the Scandinavian
capitals Stockholm and Oslo by the Swedish-Finnish network operator TeliaSonera and its Norwegian
brand name NetCom (Norway). TeliaSonera branded the network "4G". The modem devices on offer were
manufactured by Samsung (dongle GT-B3710), and the network infrastructure created by Huawei (in Oslo)
and Ericsson (in Stockholm). TeliaSonera plans to roll out nationwide LTE across Sweden, Norway and
Finland. TeliaSonera used spectral bandwidth of 10 MHz, and single-in-single-out, which should provide
physical layer net bit rates of up to 50 Mbit/s downlink and 25 Mbit/s in the uplink. Introductory tests
showed a TCP throughput of 42.8 Mbit/s downlink and 5.3 Mbit/s uplink in Stockholm.
 On 4 June 2010, Sprint released the first WiMAX smart-phone in the US, the HTC Evo 4G.
 On November 4, 2010, the Samsung Craft offered by MetroPCS is the first commercially available LTE
smart phone
 On 6 December 2010, at the ITU World Radio communication Seminar 2010, the ITU stated
that LTE, WiMax and similar "evolved 3G technologies" could be considered "4G".
 In 2011, Argentina's Claro launched a pre-4G HSPA+ network in the country.
 In 2011, Thailand's Truemove-H launched a pre-4G HSPA+ network with nationwide availability.
 On March 17, 2011, the HTC Thunderbolt offered by Verizon in the U.S. was the second LTE smart-
phone to be sold commercially.
 In February 2012, Ericsson demonstrated mobile-TV over LTE, utilizing the new eMBMS service
(enhanced Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service).
Since 2009, the LTE-Standard has strongly evolved over the years, resulting in many deployments by various
operators across the globe. For an overview of commercial LTE networks and their respective historic
development see: List of LTE networks. Among the vast range of deployments, many operators are considering
the deployment and operation of LTE networks. A compilation of planned LTE deployments can be found

The Difference Between 4G and 5G: Understanding Network Speeds :

It may sound complicated, but understanding the differences between these services—and what they mean—is
pretty simple.

Let’s take a look at 4G LTE and 5G and what those terms actually mean for Verizon customers.

Network Basics: 3G, 4G and 5G

First, the basics: The “G” stands for generation, meaning 5G is the most current generation of cell phone
network coverage and speeds. 3G technology created the first networks fast enough to make smart-phones
practical. Before that, they were too slow to allow you do all the things that make smart-phones great, like
streaming videos, surfing the web and downloading music.
But it’s 4G that’s really allowed smart-phone technology to spread its wings. That’s because it’s much, much
faster than 3G. So when you want to download a new game or stream a TV show in HD, you can do it without
buffering and lags that make the experience not worth the wait.
As networks evolved from 3G to 4G LTE and now 5G, Verizon has taken steps to improve speed and reliability

to continue to prove that they are America’s most best network.

21
Verizon 4G LTE explained

LTE stands for Long Term Evolution. It’s a term used for the particular type of 4G that delivers the fastest
mobile Internet experience. You’ll usually see it called 4G LTE.
Using a 4G smart-phone on Verizon’s 4G LTE network means you can download files from the Internet up to
10 times faster than with 3G. With 4G LTE, using the web from your phone is just like using it from your home
computer. For 4G LTE to work, all you need is a smart-phone that’s configured to work with it.
You can find all of Verizon’s 4G LTE phones here. These phones will connect automatically with the 4G LTE
network where available.

The future is 5G.

5G Ultra Wideband is the next stage in building a better network. 5G runs on a much higher frequency than 4G,
which provides users with a much larger bandwidth. That means in a world where everyone is using data with
unlimited plans, Verizon can support their users without any of them losing service. With faster downloads and
streams than the previous 4G LTE experience, you can stream movies, music and more without worrying about
service interruptions.
Check Verizon’s 5G coverage map to see if 5G Ultra Wide band is available in your area. If it is, browse 5G
phones currently available to find the best model for you.

Stay connected with Verizon.

When choosing a mobile phone and network, you want to make sure you’re up to speed. Take your mobile
experience to the next level Verizon, America’s most awarded network, as they continue to build networks that
keep people connected.

4G is a broadband technology that will give us richer, pleasurable internet experience.

4G although has surely been a blessing for India. It has given a major and huge fillip to digital economy in India.
With the advent of high speed internet in the form of 4G services, major components of digital economy like E-
commerce, digital payment, use of IT/ITeS are on a roll. Benefits of E governance are on the finger tip. On the
other side, with cut throat competition and higher operating expenses financial health of the telecom operators
had a significant beating. In spite of this fact, 4G has been expanding at a rapid pace across the country, and
networks are being upgraded from slower 2G services. We are now looking at 5G, the sophisticated and far
advance version of 4G. key aim of 5G will be to improve Quality of Service further and extend the horizon of
services like IOT( Internet of things) over a broader geographic area. In a nut shell, 4G has really impacted
India‟s sosio economic fabric in a positive manner for betterment of its population. System designers and
services providers are looking forward to a true wireless broadband cellular system, or 4G. To achieve the goals
of 4G, technology will need to improve significantly in order to handle the intensive algorithms in the base band
processing and the wide bandwidth of a high PAVR signal. Novel techniques will also have to be employed to
help the system achieve the desired capacity and throughput. High-performance signal processing will have to
be used for the antenna systems, power amplifier, and detection of the signal. A number of spectrum allocation
decisions, spectrum standardization decisions, spectrum availability decisions, technology innovations,

23
component development, signal processing and switching enhancements and inter-vendor cooperation have to
take place before the vision of 4G will materialize. We think that 3G experiences - good or bad, technological
or business - will be useful in guiding the industry in this effort. To sketch out a world where mobile devices
and services are ubiquitous and the promise of future fourth generation (4G) mobile networks enables things
only dreamed of, we believe that 4G will probably become an IPbased network today.

In conclusion, it is evident that 4G technologies will expand on web-based communications around the world.
4G technology will allow for improved applications such as tele medicine that may save lives. It is a fully IP-
based network and will improve data transfer dramatically. Signal disruptions will be minimal and downloads
will be done in a matter of seconds, faster than ever before. In the near future, a 5G cell phone will be created
along with a 5G network based on 4G technologies allowing for the world to connect limit lessly.
