ABSTRACT

Wireless communication is simply data communication without the use of

landlines. This may involve cellular telephone, two-way radio, fixed wireless
(broadband wireless), laser (freespace optics) or satellite communication systems.
Mobile wireless technologies are going to act as glue towards bringing together the
wired and wireless to share and distribute information seamlessly across each other's
areas of reference.Since from the beginning of wireless communications, there have
been a number of developments in each generation. Considering the future generation
of wireless communication i.e; 4G .Stratellite is a brand name trademark of Sanswire
for a future emissions-free, high-altitude stratospheric airship that provides a stationary
communications platform for various types of wireless signals usually carried by
communications towers or satellites . The Stratellite is a concept that has undergone
several years of research and development, and is not yet commercially available;
Sanswire, with its partner TAO Technologies, anticipates its current testing sequence
to include the launch of a Stratellite into the stratosphere .A new generation of cellular
standards has appeared approximately every tenth year since 1G systems were
introduced in 1981/1982. Each generation is characterized by new frequency bands,
higher data rates and non backwards compatible transmission technology. The first
release of the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard does not completely fulfill
the ITU 4G requirements called IMT-Advanced. First release LTE is not backwards
compatible with 3G, but is a pre-4G or 3.9G technology, however sometimes branded
"4G" by the service providers. Its evolution LTE Advanced is a 4Gtechnology.
WiMAX is another technology verging on or marketed as 4G.
