 Introduction to 3G

3G STANDS FOR :
THIRD GENERATION OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS.

 MOBILE TELEPHONY + INTERNET SERVICES = 3G

 What’s new about 3G:

IT MERGES ALL THE STANDARDS INTO ONE.

Europe pursued NMT and TACS for analog and GSM for digital,
North America pursued AMPS for analog and a mix of TDMA,
CDMA and GSM for digital. 3G will bring these incompatible
standards together .
3G is designed to deliver:

# A wide range of market- focused applications.

# Long-term market-driven creativity driving genuine market

demand .

#  Advanced, lightweight, easy-to-use terminals with intuitive

interfaces · Instant, real-time multimedia communications.

# Global mobility and roaming.

# A wide range of vendors and operators, offering choice,

competition and affordability.

# High-speed e-mail and Internet access.

3G Standards
The idea behind 3G is to unify the disparate standards that today’s
second generation use.

The Operators Harmonization Group (OHG) - a group of major

operators from all parts of the world - has played a key role in this
process, and agreed on a set of standards in May 1999.

In fact the final ITU recommendations for IMT-2000 stipulated five

terrestrial radio interface standards when DECT (IMT FT) and EDGE(IMT SC
or IWC 136) are included
 3G KEY FEATURES:

•PACKET EVERYWHERE
•HIGH SPEED
transmission speed:144kbps speed is expected and by 2005 the speed
would be of 2mbps
•INTERNET EVERYWHERE
•NEW APPLICATIONS, BETTER APPLICATIONS.

 
 3G NETWORKS - The complexities behind them….

The core network is the physical network infrastructure to which the radio
access network is connected in a mobile network.

A radio access network is the portion of a mobile network that handles subscriber
access, including radio base stations and other nodes.

In the case of 3G, a different approach is being taken. There is one

standardization process for the radio network and another for the core network.
 
The 3G radio access network will comprise a RNC (Radio Network Controller)
and Node B.
 
What would a 3g core network look like
Where is the new radio spectrum?

International standards and regulatory bodies have set aside radio

frequency in the 2GHz band.

In 1992, the World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC)

allocated 230MHZ of new radio spectrum to terrestrial and satellite
services. Of this, the ITU has set aside 155MHZ in the 2GHZ band
for terrestrial 3G services, as shown in the chart .

 When will 3G be rolled out?

NTT DoCoMo already launched the world's first commercialised third-

generation "FOMA" mobile communication service on October 1, 2001.
"FOMA" is the name used in Japan for NTT DoCoMo's 3G service.
The key threats to 3G include:

 Limited spectrum.
 Complexity.
 High Costs.
 Working with data.
 Killer Content.
 Security and Privacy
 Alternate technologies.
 Wide Area availability.
 Inspite Of The Doubts ,Delays And Debts Associated With 3g
Service Providers Will Make 3g Succeed Simply Because They Have
Already Invested Too Much In The New Technology To Let It Fail…

“ 3G WON’T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT….. BUT AS THE SYSTEMS,

EQUIPMENT, AND SERVICES ARE STARTING TO EMERGE, AND
WE’LL SEE 3G START TO BLOSSOM OVER THE NEXT YEAR OR
TWO.”

So basically 3G has to work!!!!

Who can access 3G service?
To use 3G users specifically need:
 A mobile phone or a terminal which supports 3G

 A subscription to a mobile network which provides 3G

 Knowledge of how to send/receive information using their specific

model of mobile phone and hardware and software requirements.

 A destination to send and receive information using 3G.
 What will future 3G terminals be like??

 Many of these will have larger screens to display Internet pages or the
face of the person being spoken to.
 There will be smaller "smart-phones" with limited web browsing and e-
mail capabilities.
 Addition of mobile communication facilities to laptops and palmtops will
speed up the convergence of communications and computing
 There will be videophones, wrist communicators, palmtop computers, and
radio modem cards for portable computers.
     Innovative new voice based interfaces will allow people to control their
mobile communication services with voice commands.
    Mobile services will be built into business equipment, vehicles and
household appliances, for dedicated applications.
 THE FUTURE…………..
Advent of 4G is expected in 2010.

Three dimensional virtual reality will be enabled for the first time- imagine
personal video avatars and realistic holograms 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
worlds merge.

3G is a substantial leap forward in mobile bandwidth and capacity.

4G will be another giant leap forward providing unprecedented broadband
communications…
