• 3G is the third generation of wireless mobile telecommunications technology. It is the upgrade for 2.5
G and 2.5G GPRS networks, for faster data transfer. This is based on a set of standards used for
mobile devices and mobile telecommunications user services and networks that comply with the
International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) specifications by the International
Telecommunication Union ITU.
• 3G telecommunication networks support services that provide an information transfer rate of at least
144 Kbits/s. Later 3G releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75 G, also provide mobile broadband access
of several Mbits/s to smartphones and mobile modems in laptop computers. This ensures it can be
applied to wireless voice telephony, mobile Internet access, fixed wireless Internet access, video calls
and mobile TV technologies.

• The frequency bands 1885-2025 MHz and 2110-2200 MHz were identified for IMT-2000 by the ITU in 1992.
Terrestrial IMT-2000 networks will operate in the following bands:
• 1920 - 1980 MHz paired with 2110 - 2170 MHz, FDD with mobile stations transmitting in the lower sub-band.
• 1885 - 1920 MHz and 2010 - 2025 MHz, unpaired for TDD operation.
• In Europe is the TDD band from 1885-1900 MHz not available for licenses use of IMT-2000, this is used by
cordless telephony (DECT).
• In addition to this core-band the frequency band 2500 to 2690 MHz was identified in 2000, of which the edges,
ranging from 2500-2520 and 2670-2690 MHz, are at first identified for satellite communications. Existing second
generation bands (including GSM bands) 806 to 960 MHz, 1429 to 1501 MHz and 1710 to 1885 MHz are also
identified for IMT-2000 in the long term.
Family members-For the terrestrial mobile network, there are six family members identified as being IMT-2000
compatible,the ITU standardize 5 group of 3G for radio access technology.

• CDMA 2000-is a mobile digital radio technology where channels are defined with codes (PN
Sequences).
• CDMA permits many simultaneous transmitters on the same frequency channel. Since more
phones can be served by fewer cell sites, CDMA –based standards have a significant
economic advantage over TDMA or FDMA-based standards.
• This standard is being developed by Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) of US
and is standardized by 3GPP2.
• The main CDMA 2000 standards are : CDMA 2000 1xRTT, CDMA 2000 1xEV and CDMA
2000 EV-DV.
• CDMA 2000 1xRTT :
• RTT stands for Radio Transmission Technology and the designation “1x” meaning “1 times
Radio Transmission Technology”, indicates the same RF bandwidth as IS-95. The main
features of CDMA 2000 1X are as follows :
• 1.Supports an instantaneous data rate up to 307 Kbps for a user in packet mode and a typical
throughput rates of144 Kbps per user, depending on the number of user, the velocity of user
and the propagating conditions.
• 2.Supports up to twice as many voice users at the 2G CDMA Standard.
• 3.Provides the subscriber unit with up to two times the standby time for longer lasting
battery life.
• CDMA 2000 EV :This is an evolutionary advancement of CDMA with the following characteristics :
• 1.Provides CDMA carriers with the options of installing radio channels with data only (CDMA 2000
EV- DO) and with data and voice (CDMA 2000 EV-DV)
• 2.The CDMA 2000 1xEV-DO supports greater than 2.4 Mbps of instantaneous high speed packet
throughput per user on a CDMA channel, although the user data rates are much lower and highly dependent on other
factors.
• 3.CDMA 2000 EV-DV can offer data rates up to 144 Kbps with about twice as many voice channels as IS-95B.
CDMA 2000 3x :
• 1.It is (also known as EV-DO Rev B) is a multi-carrier evolution.
• 2.It has higher rates per carrier (up to 4.9 Mbps on the downlink per carrier). Typical deployments are expected to
include 3 Carriers for a peak rate of 14.7 Mbps. Higher rates are possible by bundling multiple channels together.
It enhances the user experience and enables new services such as high definition video streaming.
• 3.Uses statistical multiplexing across channels to further reduce latency, enhancing the experience for latency-sensitive
services such as gaming, video telephony, remote console sessions and web browsing.
• 4.It provides increased talk-time and standby time.
• 5.The interference from the adjacent sectors is reduced by hybrid frequency reuse and improves the rates that can be
offered, especially to users at the edge of the cell.
• 6.It has efficient support for services that have asymmetric download and upload requirements (i.e. different data rates
required in each direction) such as file transfers, web browsing, and broadband multimedia content delivery.
• CDMA2000 standard is based on CDMAone system and allows to access internet by using wireless carrier with
high data speed. In the year 2002 the first CDMA2000 system was offered and
• standardized by 3GPP2 (3rd Generation Partnership Project 2). It is especially used in North America and South
America and South Korea. It shares its infrastructure with the IS-95 2G standards. To improve the performance of
existing system, the CDMA2000 does not use any extra equipment. It just only changed the software or hardware
of the existing system.
• The CDMA2000 is more advanced than the CDMAone as it serves the twice number of users than
• CDMAone and the battery life of mobile station is twice as compared to CDMAone. It also provides high speed
data access by using packet data transport. CDMA2000 is seamless and less expensive as compared to W-CDMA.
CDMA2000 also known as IMT-CDMA. Multi-carrier is a CDMA version of the IMT-2000 standard developed
by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
• The CDMA2000 family reuses the existing IS-95 service standards such as those that define speech services,
Short Message Services, with significant enhancement in voice capacity, data speed rate and network features.
QoS in 3G network -
1.Network Services are considered end-to-end, this means from a Terminal Equipment (TE)
to another TE. An End-to-End Service may have a certain Quality of Service (QoS) which is
provided for the user of a network service.
2.It is the user that decides whether he is satisfied with the provided QoS or not. To realize a
certain network QoS a Bearer Service with clearly defined characteristics and functionality is to be
set up from the source to the destination of a service.
3.A bearer service includes all aspects to enable the provision of a contracted QoS. These aspects are
among others the control signaling, user plane transport and QoS management functionality.
4.A UMTS bearer service layered architecture is depicted below, each bearer service on a specific
layer offers it’s individual services using services provided by the layers below.
There are four different QoS classes :
