Introduction:
The 3G network is the third generation of mobile
networking and telecommunications. It features a wider
range of services and advances network capacity over the
previous 2G network. The 3G network also increases the
rate of information transfer known as spectral efficiency.
Wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to
provide wireless high-speed Internet and network
connections. The Wi-Fi Alliance, the organization that
owns the Wi-Fi (registered trademark) term specifically
defines Wi-Fi as any "wireless local area network”

What is 3G?
3G is a technology for mobile service providers.
To support the service, mobile operators maintain a network
of interconnected and overlapping mobile base stations that
hand-off customers as those customers move among
adjacent cells.
service providers will have to upgrade their networks to one
of the 3G technologies which can support data rates of from
384Kbps up to 2Mbps
What is Wi-Fi?
WiFi is the popular name for the wireless
Ethernet 802.11b
standard for WLANs.
Operate using unlicensed spectrum in the 2.4

GHz band.
The current generation of WLANs supports upto

11Mbps,
data rates within 300 feet of the base station.
WLAN technology was not designed to support

high-speed
hand – off associated with users moving between
base station
coverage areas.
How 3G works..
The 3G network might be divided up in
hierarchical fashion:
Macro cell - the area of largest coverage,

e.g., an entire city.
Micro cell - the area of intermediate

coverage, e.g., a city centre.
Pico cell - the area of smallest coverage,

e.g., a "hot spot" in a hotel.
TDMA vs. CDMA
We have considered how a mobile phone can send
and receive calls at the same time (via an uplink and a
downlink). Now we will examine how many users
can be multiplexed into the same channel (i.e., share
the channel) without getting interference from other
users, a capability called multiple accesses.
For 3G technology, there are basically two competing
technologies to achieve multiple accesses: TDMA

and CDMA.
Cont…
TDMA is Time Division Multiple
Access. It works by dividing a single
radio frequency into many small time
slots. Each caller is assigned a specific
time slot for transmission.
CDMA is Code Division Multiple

Access. CDMA works by giving each
user a unique code. The signals from all
the users can then be spread over a wide
frequency band. The transmitting
frequency for any one user is not fixed
but is allowed to vary within the limits
of the band.
Circuit Switching vs.
Packet Switching
Traditional connections for voice
communications require a physical
pathconnecting the users at the two
ends of the line, and that path stays
openuntil the conversation ends. This
method of connecting a transmitter
andreceiver by giving them exclusive
access to a direct connection is called
circuit switching.
How Wi-Fi Technology
works.
The wireless adapter of a computer translates data into
radio signals and transmits the signals over an antenna.
The transmitting antenna is generally connected to a
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) or a LAN-based Internet
connection.
The Wi-Fi signals have a range of about 120 feet indoors

and 300 feet outdoors. With an increase in the distance
between the user and the signal, the connection speed
decreases. Wi-Fi connections allow you to get rid of the
clutter of wires.
The use of Wi-Fi technology for Internet access is on the

rise. Companies and households have begun opting for
wireless Internet access.
How are WiFi and 3G
Same?
BOTH ARE WIRELESS
Avoids need to install cable drops to each device when

compared to wire line alternatives.
Facilities mobility.
BOTH ARE ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES
Both 3G and WiFi are access or edge/network technologies.
Wireless service are part of an end-to-end value chain that

includes , in its coarsest delineation atleast
The internet backbone ( the cloud )
The second mile network providers (ILEC ,mobile , cable, or a

NextGen carrier)
Cont…
BOTH OFFER BROADBAND DATA
SERVICE
Both 3G and WiFi support broadband

data service,although the data rate offered
by WiFi ( 11Mbps ) is substantially higher
than the couple of hundred Kbps expected
from 3G services.
Both services will also support “always on

“connectivity which is another very
important aspect of broadband service .
Difference between 3G
& Wi-Fi..
Current business models/deployment are
different.
As noted above 3G represents an extension of the

mobile service provider model. This is the
technology of choice for upgrading existing
mobile telephone services to expand capacity
and add enhanced services.
In contrast, Wi-Fi comes out of the data

communications industry (LANs) which is a by-
product of the computer industry. The basic
business model is one of equipment makers who
sell boxes to consumers. The services provided by
the equipment are free to the equipment owners.
Cont…
Spectrum policy and management
One of the key distinctions between 3G

and Wi-Fi that we have only touched
upon lightly thus far is that 3G and
other mobile technologies use licensed
spectrum, while Wi-Fi uses unlicensed
shared spectrum. This has important
implications for (1) Cost of service; (2)
Quality of Service (QoS) and
Congestion Management..
Applications Using 3G
Business services
Mobile office
Narrowcast business TV
Virtual workgroups
Expertise on tap
Entertainment
Audio on demand
Games
Video clips
Virtual sightseeing
Finance services
Virtual banking
On-line billing
Universal USIM and

credit card
Applications Using Wi-Fi
Home-based WiFi enabled device helps
you to connect your PC, game console
or laptop. If 2 or 3 members of your
family have their own laptops they
would be able to share their data, files
and photos.
There are no boundaries if you are using

WiFi, you move from one room to
another or even away from home you
have the liberty to access internet within
the range of radial distance.
Cont…
In an office set up, all the computers can
be interconnected and enable check
and balance whether employs are
working or not. A project can be
presented to all the members whether
in the form of excel sheet or word
document.
Many public places are also supplied
with WiFi connectivity to access
internet like café, restaurants, and clubs
to attract the clients. A prospect
customer surely appreciates your
efficiency and awareness of the modern
fast-paced world.
Conclusion:
This article offers a qualitative comparision of two
wireless technologies that can be viewed
simultaneously as substitute and / or
complimentary paths for evolving to broad band
wireless access.
3G-the preferred upgrade path for mobile providers.
WiFi -one of the many WLAN technologies.
Both technologies are likely to succeed in the

market place.
we expect 3G mobile providers to integrate WiFi

technology into their networks thus expecting these
two technologies to be complimentary in their
successful mass market deployment.
