4g Mobile Communications
broadband wireless access communication systems, not only cellular telephone systems.
One of the terms to describe 4G is MAGIC
M -- Mobile Multimedia A -- Anytime Anywhere G -- Global Mobility Support
in the seventies. Analogue transmission technology. Focus on voice. Data services almost non-existent. International roaming impossible.
reliability
mobile communications(GSM - Global system for mobile communication) standard that uses TDMA. SMS - short message service E-mail Digital Transmission technology. Increased quality of service. Possibility of wireless data service.
that is 2.5G It is basically an enhancement of major technologies to provide increased capacity and to increase higher bit rates Data rates 56kb/s to 115kb/s. A very important aspect of 2.5G is the data channel are optimized for packet data which includes access to internet through mobile devices (GPRS General Radio Packet Service).
a jagged steppy one. Under slightly worse conditions, digital has occasional dropouts. As conditions worsen, though, digital will start to completely fail, by dropping calls.
to 2G phones by allowing audio, video and graphics applications. Increased clarity. Perfection as like real conversation. Applications are :
Huge capital
3G phones are expensive
licenses.
Successor to 2G and3G Wider bandwidths and higher bitrates. Entirely packet-switched network. Global mobility and service portability. Support for previous wireless technologies. High internet speed. Tight network security. 2 eg :- WiMAX, LTE
OFDM
UWB
Smart antennas IPv6
OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-
signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver .
interference is virtually eliminated if the max. channel delay spread is less than the time interval of cyclic prefix.
very efficiently as an IFFT . so, receiver only needs a FFT to reverse this process.
technology. It is typically detected as noise. It can use any part of the frequency spectrum, which means that it can use frequencies that are currently in use by other radio frequency devices . It uses a frequency of 3.1 to 10.6 Hz. It uses less power , since it transmits pulse instead of continuous signal. Special antennas are needed to tune and aim the signal.
move. Allow the same frequency to be used for other users without worry for interference. Can't keep up with the transmission speeds while the device is moving fast (i.e. in a car) Only 32Mbis at 62mpli (vs. 100 Mks) Seamless handoff between towers/access points. One transmit antenna. two receive antennas
IPv6 means Internet Protocol Version 6 . The Internet Protocol (IP) is the method or protocol
which data is sent from one computer to another on the internet. Each computer (known as a host) on the Internet has at least one IP that uniquely identifies it from all other computers on the Internet. It includes 128 bits, which is 4 times more than 32bits IP address in IPv4. In the context of 4G, IPv6 also enables a number of applications with better multicast, security, and route optimization capabilities.
navigation through which a user can access a database of the streets, buildings etc.
Tele-Geo processing Applications: This is a combination of
GIS (Geographical Information System) and GPS (Global Positioning System) in which a user can get the location by querying.
of patients. A user need not go to the hospital and can get videoconference assistance for a doctor at any anytime and anywhere.
Education: For people who are interested in life long
education, 4G provides a good opportunity. People anywhere in the world can continue their education online in a cost effective manner.
Crisis management: Natural disasters can cause break
down in communication systems. In todays world it might take days or 7 weeks to restore the system. But in 4G it is expected to restore such crisis issues in a few hours.
