3G
telecommunication hardware standards and general
Technology for mobile networking
It is based on the International Telecommunication Union
(ITU) family of standards
It conceived from Universal Mobile Telecommunication
Service (UMTS) concept for high speed networks for
enabling variety of data intensive applications
It consists of two main standards - CDM w-
CDM
G network operators offer wide range of advanced
service to its users
This can be achieved by Spectral efficiency
Services - wide-area wireless voice Telephone, video
calls, and broadband wireless, data all in a mobile
environment
History
irst pre-commercial G network was
launched by Japan in May
irst post-commercial launch by Japan in
Oct
The second network is SK Telecom of South
Korea in Jan
irst commercial G network of US is Monet
Mobile Network on CDM
Second network id Verizon Wireless in Oct
on CDM
eatures
1. Enhanced multimedia (voice, data, video, and
remote control)
2. Usability on all popular modes (cellular telephone,
e-mail, paging, fax, videoconferencing, and Web
browsing)
3. Broad bandwidth and high speed (upwards of 2
Mbps)
4. Routing flexibility (repeater, satellite, LAN)
5. Roaming capability
irst Generation
nalog systems
Implemented in North merica
known as nalog Mobile Phone
Systems (MPS)
based on circuit-switched technology
and designed for voice, not data.
$econd Generation
based on low-band digital data
signaling
Mostly based on Circuit Switched
technology
These are digital and expand the
range of applications to more
advanced voice services.
not suitable for web browsing and
multimedia applications
Global $ystem for Mobile
Communications (G$M)
first implemented in by inland
It is a combination of requency Division
Multiple ccess (DM) and Time
Division Multiple ccess (TDM)
It operates in the MHz and .8 GHz
bands throughout the world (except
merica)
In merica it operates in . GHz band
Enhanced Data for Global Evolution
(EDGE)
lso , called as Enhanced Data rates
for GSM Evolution
a radio based high-speed mobile data
standards
enables services like multimedia
emailing, Web infotainment and video
conferencing
General Packet Radio $ervice
(GPR$)
enhancement for GSM core networks
that introduces packet data
transmission
It uses radio spectrum
It provides always connectivity and
greater bandwidth
worldwide roaming
Code Division Multiple Access
(CDMA)
developed in North merica
It uses spread spectrum technology to
break up speech into small, digitized
segments and encodes them to identify
each call
it providing clearer voice quality with less
background noise, fewer dropped calls,
enhanced security, greater reliability and
greater network capacity.
3G Wireless Networks
It represents the convergence of various G
wireless telecommunications systems into a
single global system
first adopted in Japan and South Korea
its ability is to unify existing cellular
standards such as CDM, GSM, and TDM
under one umbrella
this results wideband CDM, CDM
and the Universal Wireless Communication
(UWC) interfaces
3G Applications
Interactive news delivery (voice, video, e-mail,
graphics)
Voice /High-quality audio
Still photography
Video
Data transmission services
ile transfer from intranet
Multimedia e-mail (graphics, voice, video)
Video conferencing
Web browser
- On-line services
- Time schedules
- Global Positioning Services/Geographical
Information Systems
enefits of 3G Wireless Networks in
Higher Education
G technology supports video
telephony
Live video lectures can be cast to the
learner
Two-way video conferencing becomes
possible
aster downloads of assignments
Conclusion
G is for high speed networks for variety
of data intensive applications. G
provides more advanced services like
wide-area wireless voice Telephone, video
calls and broadband wireless data and
also it provides advanced multimedia
access and global roaming. G is giving
way to new generation wireless networks
i.e. 4G
G Mobile Phones
