4G TECHNOLOGY

PRESENTED BY: G.VENU MANI KUMAR

What is fourth generation (4G)?

o Characterised by high-speed data rates. o In 4G the download speed is up to 100 Mbps for moving users and 1 Gbps for stationary users o Will allow users to download a fulllength feature film within five minutes o Will also be able to stream highdefinition television and radio to hand-held devices o 4G is adoption of packet switching instead of circuit switching in voice and video calls o With packet switching, resources are only used when there is information to be sent across

3G Vs 4G
The basic difference between 3G and 4G is in data transfer and signal quality. The highest download and upload speed in 3G are 14 Mbps and 5.8 Mbps respectively

Technology Data Transfer Rate Internet services Mobile -TV Resolution Bandwidth Frequency

3G 3.1MB /sec Broadband Low 5 - 20 MHz 1.6- 2 GHZ

4G 100MB/sec Ultra Broadband High 100 +MHz 2 8 GHz

Advantages of 4-G

o Affordable communication services. o High speed,high capacity and low cost per bit. o Support for interactive multimedia, voice , streaming video, Internet and other broadband services. o Global access, Service portability and scalable mobile services and variety of quality of services provided. o Better spectral efficiency. o seamless network of multiple protocol and air interfaces.

Applications of 4G
o Better Usage of Multimedia Applications o Virtual Presence: 4G system gives mobile users a "virtual presence" (for example, always-on connections to keep people on event).Video Conferencing o Virtual navigation: a remote database contains the graphical representation of streets, buildings, and physical characteristics of a large metropolis. Blocks of this database are transmitted in rapid sequence to a vehicle o Tele- geoprocessing: Queries dependent on location information of several users, in addition to temporal aspects have many applications.e.g:GIS,GPS o 4G in normal life . Traffic control. Mobile phones. Sensor on public vehicle.

Which countries have 4-G

Except for the Scandinavian countries, a few countries have started the 4G commercially In the US, Sprint Nextel initiated the service last year Countries expected to launch 4G by this year are Germany, Spain, China, Japan and England

4-G in INDIA
o Has already begun the process of introducing 4G o India is among the latecomers in 3G o It is felt that by the time the implement 3G fully, 4G technologies such as LTE will be available commercially. o It has taken three years for the government to decide on 3G-spectrum auction policy. o 4G could face the same delay unless India wants to catch up with the rest of the world

4G
Short for fourth generation, 4G is an ITU specification that is currently being developed for broadband mobile capabilities. 4G technologies would enable IP-based voice, data and streaming multimedia at higher speeds and offer at least 100 Mbit/s with high mobility and up to 1GBit/s with low mobility (nomadic).

4G is an IP-based and packet-switched evolution of 3G technologies (such as WCDMA, HSDPA, CDMA2000 and EVDO) that uses voice communications. A number of technologies considered to be 4G standards include Long Term Evolution (LTE), Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) and the IEEE 802.16 (WiMax) standard.

Disadvantages

Battery usage is more Hard to implement Need complicated hardware The equipment required to implement a next generation network is still very expensive. o Carriers and providers have to plan carefully to make sure that expenses are kept realistic. o o o o

Future Prospects
o 4G is coming quicker. o Fast internet access to both stationery and mobile users. o 4G can be efficiently combined with cellular technologies to make consistent use of smart phones and also create video blogs. o This gives the manufactures the opportunity to produce more affordable user friendly 4G compatible devices.

o 4G is capable of providing new horizon of opportunity for both existing and startup telephone companies.

Challenges

o Integrating all the promised services is a challenge. Challenges in migration to 4G. High data-rate services and low per bit transmission 'cost. Meet the demand of the diverse users. o Competition with the next forth coming 5G. 5G technology is providing large broadcasting of data in Gigabit which supports almost 65,000 connections. 5G technology would provide better use of available bandwidth.

Conclusion
4G can be best described in one word MAGIC, which stands for: Mobile multimedia Anytime Anywhere Global mobility support, Integrated wireless and personalized services. Though 4G is facing challenges and problems we believe that future research will overcome these challenges and integrate newly developed services to 4G networks making them available to everyone, anytime and everywhere.
