Concept of Mobile
Network Technology

A cellular network or mobile network is a


communication network where the last link
is wireless. The network is distributed over
land areas called cells; each served by a
base station. This base station provides the
cell with the network coverage which can
be used for transmission of voice, data and
others.
Generation of Mobile Technology

 1st Generation Technology (1980)

 2nd Generation Technology (1991)

 3rd Generation Technology (2000)

 4th Generation Technology (2007)

 5th Generation Technology ̃̃̃̃ 2020

2G Technology

History & Features Shortcomings


• Use digital signals. • Required strong digital signals
to help mobile phones work.
• Most widely accepted 2 g
technology was GSM. • Systems were unable to handle
complex data.
• Data speed up to 64 kbps.
• Limited data transfer rate.
• SMS and MMS.
• Risk of hacking.
• Better quality voice calls.
• Not compatible with many new
• Bandwidth 30-200 KHz. applications.
3G Network

– Data transmission speed increased .


(144kbps-2Mbps)
– Multimedia services.
– Wider coverage.(1.8Ghz-2.5GHz)
– 7.2Mbits download and 2Mbits
upload.
– Bandwidth 15-20MHz.
– Enhanced voice quality.
– Interoperability.
– Increased data capacity.
4G Technology

• 4G is the fourth generation of broadband cellular network technology, succeeding 3G


and preceding 5G. A 4G system must provide capabilities defined by ITU in IMT
Advanced. In December 2010, the ITU expanded its definition of 4G to include Long
Term Evolution (LTE), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX),
and Evolved High Speed Packet Access (HSPA+).
• The first-release WiMAX standard was commercially deployed in South Korea in 2006 .

• The first-release LTE standard was commercially deployed in Oslo, Norway,


and Stockholm, Sweden in 2009, and has since been deployed throughout most parts of
the world.
• 4G has speeds of up to 150 Mbit/s download and 50 Mbit/s upload.

• Use of MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) and beamforming for better signal
quality and improved spectral efficiency.
Disadvantages of 4G Technology

• Require closer base station and


are expensive
• High data price for consumers
• Power consumption is high
• Not many areas of 4G services
yet.
