Introduction
The approaching 4G (fourth generation) mobile
communication systems are projected to solve still-
remaining problems of 3G (third generation) systems
and to provide a wide variety of new services, from
high-quality voice to high-definition video to high-
data-rate wireless channels.
DEFINITION
4G is the short term for fourth-generation wireless,
the stage of broadband mobile communications that
will supercede the third generation (3G).
Different Generation :
1G (First generation)
2G (Second generation)
3G (Third generation)
4G (Fourth generation)
1G or First Generation
1G was an analog system, and was developed in the
70’s.
Advance mobile phone system (AMPS) was first
launched by the US and is a 1G mobile system. Based
on FDMA, it allows users to make voice calls in 1
country.
key improvements
1G analog system for mobile communications saw two
key improvements during the 1970s:
- The invention of the microprocessor and the
digitization of the control link between the mobile
phone and the cell site.
2G, OR SECOND GENERATION:
2G phones using global system for mobile
communications (GSM) were first used in the early
1990’s in Europe. GSM provides voice and limited data
services, and uses digital modulation for improved
audio quality.
This new digital system gave a lot better quality and
much more capacity
(i.e. more people could use there phones at the same
time)
But the demand for fax, short message, and data
transmission is growing rapidly.
2G cellular systems include GSM, digital AMPS (D-
AMPS), code-division multiple access (CDMA), and
personal digital communication (PDC).
Multiple digital systems.
The development of 2G cellular systems was driven by
the need to improve transmission quality, system
capacity, and coverage Speech transmission still
dominates the airways.
3G, or THIRD GENERATION:-
The 3G technology adds multimedia facilities to 2G
phones by allowing video, audio, and graphics
applications.
Over 3G phones, you can watch streaming video or
have video telephony.
The idea behind 3G is to have a single network
standard instead of the different types adopted in the
US, Europe, and Asia.
characteristics of IMT-2000 3G systems
1. A single family of compatible standards that can be
used worldwide for all mobile applications.
2. Support for both packet-switched and circuit-
switched data transmission.
3. Data rates up to 2 Mbps (depending on mobility).
4. High spectrum efficiency Telecommunications System
(UMTS) or IMT-2000, will sustain higher data rates
and open the door to many Internet style applications.
3G promises increased bandwidth, up to 384 kbps
when the device holder is walking, 128 kbps in a car,
and 2 Mbps in fixed applications.
A new air interface called enhanced data GSM
environment (EDGE) has been developed specifically
to meet the bandwidth needs of 3G.
EDGE is a faster version of GSM wireless service.
FOMA Launched in October 2001, DoCoMo’s
Freedom of Multimedia Access (FOMA) service
provides fast, high-quality voice and image
transmission through packet based networks.
DRAWBACKS Of 1G,2G and 3G
1G
Poor voice quality,
Poor battery life,
Large phone size,
No security,
Frequent call drops,
Limited capacity and Poor handoff reliability.
2G
The GSM is a circuit switched,
connection oriented technology,
where the end systems are dedicated for the entire call
session.
This causes inefficiency in usage of bandwidth and
resources.
• The GSM-enabled systems do not support high data rates.
• They are unable to handle complex data such as video.
3G
1. High bandwidth requirement.
2. High spectrum licensing fees.
3. Huge capital.
4G, or Forth Generation
For 1 and 2G standards, bandwidth maximum is 9.6
kbit/sec, This is approximately 6 times slower than an
ISDN (Integrated services digital network).
Third generation mobile, data rates are 384 kbps
(download) maximum, typically around 200kbps, and
64kbps upload.
4G mobile data transmission rates are planned to be up to
100 megabits per second on the move and 1000gigbits per
second stationary, this is a phenomenal amount of
bandwidth, only comparable to the bandwidth
workstations get connected directly to a LAN.
What is fourth generation (4G) mobile
systems?
Fourth generation mobile communications systems
that are characterised by high-speed data rates at 20
to 100 Mbps, suitable for high-resolution movies and
television, virtual.
 Initial deployments are anticipated in 2006-2010.
Anytime, Anywhere Connection
‘Mobile Broadband everywhere’
MAGIC
Mobile Multimedia Communication
Anywhere, Anytime with Anyone
Global Mobility Support
Integrated Wireless Solution
Customized Personal Service

(According to 4G Mobile Forum, by 2008 over $400

billion would be invested in 4G mobile projects. )
4G: Data rate Facts
Transmission at 20 Mbps
2000 times faster than mobile data rates
10 times faster than top transmission rates planned in
final build out of 3G broadband mobile
10-20 times faster than standard ADSL services.
Companies developing 4G technology
Phone Companies:
Alcatel,
Nortel,
Motorola .
IT Companies:
 Hughes,
 HP,
 LG Electronics.
WHY 4G?
Higher bandwidth enables a range of new applications!!
For the consumer
Video streaming, TV broadcast Video calls,
video clips – news, music,
sports Enhanced gaming, chat, location services…
• For business
 High speed teleworking / VPN access

 Sales force automation

 Video conferencing

 Real-time financial information

4G SERVICES IN ASIA

Hong Kong: 3 Hutchinson
4G Facts
A recent study by Herschel Shosteck Associates noted that
operators that pay large amounts for spectrum will have to
charge end users so much that adoption of 3G will be slow.
Another study by Strategy Analytics agreed, predicting that,
while wireless data revenues will soar, 3G networks will account
for less than a quarter of that revenue by 2010. So-called 3G
killer apps such as multimedia won't succeed, the second study
said.
Pent-up demand: Now there's the rub. Even NTT DoCoMo
doesn't think there's much pent-up demand among consumers
for 3G multimedia services, so it will target its initial 3G offering
at business -- and price it accordingly.
