THIRD GENERATION

(3G)
THIRD GENERATION

 3G refers to the third


generation of mobile
telephony (that is, cellular)
technology. The third
generation, as the name
suggests, follows two earlier
generations.
1G
 The first generation (1G) began in the
early 80's with commercial deployment of
Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS)
cellular networks. Early AMPS networks
used Frequency Division Multiplexing
Access (FDMA) to carry analog voice over
channels in the 800 MHz frequency band.
2G
 The second generation (2G) emerged in the 90's when
mobile operators deployed two competing digital voice
standards.
 In North America, some operators adopted IS-95,
which used Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) to
multiplex up to 64 calls per channel in the 800 MHz
band.
 Across the world, many operators adopted the Global
System for Mobile communication (GSM) standard,
which used Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) to
multiplex up to 8 calls per channel in the 900 and 1800
MHz bands.
 The International Telecommunications
Union (ITU) defined the third generation
(3G) of mobile telephony standards IMT-
2000 to facilitate growth, increase
bandwidth, and support more diverse
applications.
 GSM could deliver not only voice, but also
circuit-switched data at speeds up to 14.4
Kbps. But to support mobile multimedia
applications, 3G had to deliver packet-
switched data with better spectral
efficiency, at far greater speeds.

 However, to get from 2G to 3G, mobile


operators had make "evolutionary" upgrades
to existing networks while simultaneously
planning their "revolutionary" new mobile
broadband networks.
3GPP and
3GPP2
 This lead to the establishment of two
distinct 3G families: 3GPP and 3GPP2.The
3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)
was formed in 1998 to foster deployment
of 3G networks that descended from
GSM.
3GPP technologies evolved as
follows:
 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) offered speeds up to 114
Kbps.

 Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) reached up to


384 Kbps.

 UMTS Wideband CDMA (WCDMA) offered downlink speeds up to


1.92 Mbps.

 High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) boosted the downlink


to 14Mbps.

 LTE Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) is aiming


for 100 Mbps.
 GPRS deployments began in 2000, followed by
EDGE in 2003. While these technologies are
defined by IMT-2000, they are sometimes
called "2.5G" because they did not offer
multi-megabit data rates.

 EDGE has now been superceded by HSDPA


(and its uplink partner HSUPA). According to
the 3GPP, there were 166 HSDPA networks in
75 countries at the end of 2007. The next
step for GSM operators: LTE E-UTRA, based
on specifications completed in late 2008.
3rd Generation Partnership
Project
2 (3GPP2)

This was formed to help North American and


Asian operators using CDMA2000 transition
to 3G. 3GPP2 technologies evolved as follows.
 One Times Radio Transmission Technology (1xRTT)
offered speeds up to 144 Kbps.

 Evolution Data Optimized (EV-DO) increased downlink


speeds up to 2.4 Mbps.

 EV-DO Rev. A boosted downlink peak speed to 3.1


Mbps and reduced latency.

 EV-DO Rev. B can use 2 to 15 channels, with each


downlink peaking at 4.9 Mbps.

 Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) was slated to reach


288 Mbps on the downlink.
If you want augmented bandwidth, multiple
mobile applications and clarity of digital
signals, then 3G (Third Generation
Technology) is your gateway. GSM
technology was able to transfer circuit
switched data over the network. The use of
3G technology is also able to transmit packet
switch data efficiently at better and
increased bandwidth.
3G mobile technologies proffers more
advanced services to mobile users. It can
help many multimedia services to function.
The spectral efficiency of 3G technology is
better than 2G technologies. Spectral
efficiency is the measurement of rate of
information transfer over any communication
system. 3G is also known as IMT-2000.
