1. Cellular Network as
Mobile Network as …
• Communication network where the link to
and from end nodes is wireless.
• Network is distributed over land areas called
"cells” – each served by at least one fixed-
location transceiver (cell sites/base
transceiver stations).
• BS – provide the cell with the network coverage which
can be used for transmission of voice, data, and other
types of content.
• A cell – uses a different set of frequencies from
neighbouring cells, to avoid interference and provide
guaranteed QoS within each cell.
1.1 Early stage – Limited On-line Access
• Objectives
• User: Easily enjoy Internet services on cell phone
• Operators: A way to attract new users and increase revenue (per-packet
billing)
• Combining access, content and service within operators’ domain
• Attractive in early stages and for several reasons
• Easier to implement and control & develop market models
• Often have a limited life-span
• Content and service maintenance – very expensive
• Content and service are operator-dependent (user may leave)
• Content and real-world disconnection 4
1.2 Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)
ii. 5G mid-band:
• Operates in the 2-6 GHz range and provides a capacity layer for urban and suburban areas.
• This frequency band has peak rates in the hundreds of Mbps.
iii. 5G low-band:
• Operates below 2 GHz and provides a broad coverage.
• Uses spectrum that is available and in use today for 4G LTE, essentially providing an LTE 5g architecture for
5G devices that are ready now.
• Performance similar to 4G LTE, and supports use for 5G devices on the market today.
4.2 5G impact on mobile app development
4.3 FAQ – 5G and Mobile App Development
i. How 5G is better than 4G?
• Benefits like better and faster speed, minimal latency, enhanced battery life,
faster file transfer, increased bandwidth, engaging user experience.
ii. Which industries are getting the maximum benefit from the 5G technology?
• Some industries like IoT, AR/VR, logistics and production, healthcare, movies.
iii. What are the challenges you may face while implementing 5G in mobile
apps?
• Some challenges are security and privacy issues, multiple app versions, the setup
of a 5G-based business model.
