4G Definition
4G is not just one defined technology or standard, but rather a collection of technologies aimed at creating fully packet-switched networks optimized for data. 4G Networks are projected to provide speeds of 100Mbps while moving and upto1Gbps while stationary.
1G Technology
1G refers to the first-generation of wireless telephone technology. This was developed in the 1970s.
the invention of the microprocessor the digital transform of the control link between the phone and the cell site.
Analog signal
2G Technology
Around 1980s
Better quality & capacity - More people could use there phones at the same time
Digital Signals consist of 0s & 1s
Previous Technology - 2G
Digital consist of 0s and 1s Digital signal:
o
Previous Technology - 2G
Digital data can be compressed and multiplexed much more effectively than analog voice encodings Multiplexing -multiple analog message signals or digital data streams are combined into one signal For 1 and 2G standards, bandwidth maximum is 9.6 Kbit/sec, (I.E) approximately 6 times slower than an ISDN
Previous Technology - 2G
Allows for lower powered radio signals that require less battery PowerCODEC introduction -program that encodes and decodes digital data stream or signal
o
Previous Technology - 2G
Spotty coverage
3G Technology
Large capacity and broadband capabilities
Previous Technology - 3G
CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
o
o
Form of multiplexing
Does not divide up the channel by time or frequency Encodes data with a special code associated with each channel
Types of Multiplexing
FDMA Frequency Division Multiple Access
o
Each phone call is allocated one frequency for the entire duration of the call
Types of Multiplexing
TDMA - Time Division Multiple Access
o
Each phone call is allocated a spot in the frequency for a small amount of time, and "takes turns" being transmitted
Types of Multiplexing
CDMA - Code Division Multiple Access
o
Each phone call is uniquely encoded and transmitted across the entire spectrum, in a manner known as spread spectrum transmission
Fourth Generation
What is 4G?
Fourth Generation Technology
o o o o o o o o o o
Faster and more reliable 100 Mb/s Lower cost than previous generations Multi-standard wireless system Bluetooth, Wired, Wireless Ad Hoc Networking IPv6 Core OFDM used instead of CDMA Potentially IEEE standard 802.11n Most information is proprietary
Communications Architecture
Broadcast layer: o fix access points, (i.e.) cell tower connected by fiber, microwave, or satellite (ISP) Ad-hoc/hot-spot layer: o wireless LANs (i.e. internet at Starbucks)
Communications Architecture
Personal Layer Gateway:
o
devices that connect to upper layers; cell phone, fax, voice, data modem, MP3 players, PDAs
Info-Sensor layer:
o
environmental sensors
Ad Hoc Networks
Spontaneous self organization of networks of devices
