4G The Next Generation Wireless Technology
Introduction
4G is abbreviated as Fourth-Generation in technologies. Limitations/loopholes in security, availability and applicability. "Anytime, Anywhere" basis at higher data rates.
Introduction
4G is an IP-based integrated system. Provides browsing/downloading speeds of upto100 Mbit/s and 1Gbit/s. End-to-end quality of service. High security. Offering any kind of services anytime, anywhere. Affordable cost and one billing.
Introduction
Evolution of mobile communications:
1G
2G
2.5G
3G
4G(WIMAX)
Evolution of Wireless Technologies
1G (First Generation):
Narrow band analog wireless network. Voice calls and sending text messages by circuit switching. NMT, C-Nets, AMPS, TACS are the first analog cellular systems.
Evolution of Wireless Technologies
2G (Second Generation):
Narrow Band Wireless Digital Network. GSM/GPRS technology was introduced. GSM, CDMA, DAMPS are the first digital cellular systems.
Evolution of Wireless Technologies
2.5 G :
This mid generation, in between 2G and 3G involved latest bandwidth technology.
2.5G networks (GPRS, cdma2000 1x) with data rates up to about 144kbit/s.
Evolution of Wireless Technologies
3G (Third Generation):
Wide-Band Wireless Network is used. Provides universal, high-speed, high bandwidth support to applications. Umts FDD and TDD, cdma2000 1x, cdma2000 3x has data rates up to 384kbit/s.
Need for 4G
Limitations of 3G:
Extension to higher data rates is difficult. It is difficult to provide a full range of multirate services and performance requirements.
Features of 4G
Support interactive multimedia, voice, video, wireless internet and other broadband services. High speed, high capacity and low cost per bit. Global mobility, service portability, scalable mobile networks. Seamless switching, variety of services based on Quality of Service (QoS) requirements Better scheduling and call admission control techniques. Ad hoc networks and multi-hop networks.
Applications
4G Car 4G and public safety Sensors in public vehicle Cameras in traffic lights Traffic control during disasters
Key drivers to 4G
A multitude of diverse devices. The extension of IP protocols to mobility and range of QoS. Privacy and security. Dynamic networking and air-interfaces. Improved coverage mechanisms.
