1. INTRODUCTION
The use of G, standing for generation in mobile technology covers the major advances of the
past 20-30 years. Since the first generation of so-called “analogue” mobile radio networks
was created in 1980, the mobile telephone has seen many upheavals. 1G technology involved
the first widely available mobile phones. 2G technology, which began in the early 1990s,
switched to a digital format and introduced text messaging. In 1991, with the appearance of
GSM, second-generation (or 2G) mobile telephony, it became a veritable phenomenon.
Gradually, almost everyone started to have a mobile phone. 2002 saw the arrival of UMTS,
and 3G was born. 3G technology improved the efficiency of how data is carried, making it
possible to carry enhanced information services such as websites in their original format. The
latest iPhone is the best known example of 3G technology.
To define a new generation of mobile systems that would see the
light of day by 2010, the notion of 4G was introduced in the early 2000s. The idea was to
perpetuate the logic of replacing one mobile generation with another every 10 years.4G
mobile is yet established as increasing data transfer speeds, 4G mobile should use enhanced
security measures. Another goal is to reduce blips in transmission when a device moves
between areas covered by different networks. 4G mobile networks should also use a network
based on the IP address system used for the internet.

2. WIRELESS NETWORK Wireless network refers to any type of computer network that is wireless, and is commonly
associated with a telecommunications network whose interconnections between nodes is
implemented without the use of wires. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally
implemented with some type of remote information transmission system that uses
electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, for the carrier and this implementation usually
takes place at the physical level or "layer" of the network.
2.1 Major components and elements of a wireless network:
1. Different range of wireless towers
Cellular towers
Base stations
Access points (APs)
a) These antennae transceivers communicate with all types of wireless devices,
exchange data or voice with them.
b) They transmit that information through relays and cables eventually back to the
wires of the Internet.
c) Different types of wireless devices - based on radios.
2.2 Classifications
Types of wireless networks:
- Wireless analog network - based on analog circuit-built connections
- Wireless digital network - based on package-switched connections
Three types of Wireless Internet Networks:
- Wide Area Network (WAN)
- Wireless Local Area Network (Wireless LAN)
- PAN (Personal Area Network), such as Bluetooth, Infrared
Other classifications:
- large, public, cellular phone networks
- private in-building wireless networks
- room-wide networks

3. 4G WIRELESS EVOLUTION
3.1 History
At the end of the 1940’s, the first radio telephone service was introduced, and was designed
for users in cars to the public land-line based telephon e network. Then in the sixties, a
system launched by Bell Systems, called IMTS, or “Improved Mobile Telephone Service",
brought quite a few improvements such as direct dialing and more bandwidth. The very first
analog systems were based upon IMTS and were created in the late 60s and early 70s. The
systems were called "cellular" because large coverage areas were split into smaller areas or
"cells", each cell is served by a low power transmitter and receiver.
3.2 First Generation (1G)
First generation analog cellular networks were built strictly for voice calls in the early
1980s.All 1G networks are based on Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), an air
interface that guarantees a dedicated frequency and circuit to each caller.
The Japanese began national service in 1979. The U.S. service, Advanced Mobile Phone
Service (AMPS), operates at 800 MHz’s each country has its own 1G air interface protocol.
Major features:
Circuit-switched network
Analog signals
Voice only
AMPS in U.S.
3.3 Second Generation (2G)
What is a 2G network?
- The 2G networks have digital cellular air interfaces.
- They were all brought to market in the early 1990s.
- The 2G network includes data services, fax, and email. Almost every wireless,
device sold in 2002 uses one of the second-generation air interfaces.

Major features:
Circuit-switched network
Digital signals
Voice or data overlay
9 kbps or 19 kbps
Dial-up service
TDMA, CDMA, PDC, or GSM air interfaces
3.4 Third Generation (3G)
3G networks are designed to support digital packet cellular.
What is a 3G network?
3G is the wireless Internet transmitting voice, data, photos, audio and video–all bits running
on a wireless packet-based cellular network.
Major features:
Packet switched, Transport roaming.
Dynamic allocation of voice or data.
Quality sound and video.
Data transmission at 2 Mbps.
Identification of caller location.
W-CDMA, CDMA 2000, TDD, UWC, FDD air interfaces.
Transparent roaming – The ability to continue a data or voice call over multiple networks
without dropping the call.
The first pre-commercial 3G network was launched by NTT Do Como in Japan. Although 3G
is relatively an infant, the technology is growing fast, with more and more wireless technology
companies developing devices with 3G capabilities, such as Nokia, Siemens and Sony Ericsson. With
coverage over all of Europe, the USA, China, Japan, and the rest of the world, with seamless
integration between all of these countries and more.

3.5 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 14 Mbps.
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.
3.6 Fourth Generation (4G)
4G an acronym for fourth-generation wireless is a technology that will transform wireless
communications in a completely new way. It is also known as “beyond 3G," since it provides
a comprehensive and secure IP (Internet Protocol) solution. Users will enjoy high quality
streaming video and "anytime, anywhere" voice and data at a much higher speed than
previous generations.
Some possible standards for the 4G system are 802.20, WiMAX (802.16), HSDPA, TDD,
UMTS, UMTS and future versions of UMTS and proprietary networks from ArrayComm
Inc., Navini Networks, Flarion Technologies, and 4G efforts in India, China and Japan.
The design is that 4G will be based on OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
which is the key enabler of 4G technology. Other technological aspects of 4G are adaptive
processing and smart antennas, both of which will be used in 3G networks and enhance rates
when used in with OFDM. Currently 3G networks still send their data digitally over a single
channel, OFDM is designed to send data over hundreds of parallel streams, thus increasing
the amount of information that can be sent at a time over traditional CDMA networks.

Note:- Fourth generation (4G) wireless was originally conceived by the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the same organization that developed the wired
Internet. It is not surprising, then, that DARPA chose the same distributed architecture for the
wireless Internet that had proven so successful in the wired Internet.
3.7 Two characteristics have emerged as all but certain components of 4G:
1. End-To-End Internet Protocol (IP) 2. Peer-To-Peer Networking
Let’s define “4G” as “wireless ad hoc peer-to-peer networking.”

4. BEYOND 3G
Affordable broadband communication everywhere and on the move
All-IP network for all applications - voice, messaging and multimedia
Figure: 4 Beyond 3G
The mobile phone has become a ubiquitous part of our daily lives, with far-reaching effects
on the way in which we communicate. Being connected any time, any place, anywhere has in
fact become an integral part of telephony. In addition, with the democratization of mass-
market broadband Internet and the ADSL access boom, everyone can now have access to
digital contents. It has also led to the development of associated uses (photo, music, video,
etc.).
At a time of 3G and questions on what tomorrow’s mobile telephony will bring, one may
wonder whether the joining of these two worlds is not irrevocable. Offering high speed
access no matter where, no matter when, seems to be the logical next step both in terms of
usage and technological opportunities.

4G is being developed to accommodate the QoS and rate requirements set by forthcoming applications like wireless broadband access, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), video chat, mobile TV, HDTV content, Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), minimal services like voice and data, and other services that utilize bandwidth.
4G is an abbreviation for Fourth-Generation, is a term used to describe the next level of evolution in the field of Wireless communications. The technology called 4G has redefined the whole concept of today’s sophisticated communication. According to the Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF),4G is a combination of wired and wireless networks in computer, consumer electronics and communication technology systems based on the internet technology that can merge applications like the Wi-Fi and WiMAX capable of transmitting at a speed ranging from 100 Mbps (in cell-phone networks) to 1 Gbps (in local Wi-Fi networks). This collection of technologies and protocols delivers high quality of service at both ends and high point security. Officially named by IEEE as Beyond 3G (B3G) it provides with the lowest cost wireless network.

14. GLOSSARY GPRS:
Global Packet Radio Service - This evolution of the GSM standard (which uses the same
frequency range as the latter) adds a packet system to the GSM circuit network, allowing data
sharing. GPRS, or the 2.5G network, gives bit rates of up to 40 Kbps in optimal conditions.
Bluetooth – 802.15: Bluetooth is the standard for wireless personal area networks or WPAN. It allows high speed
transmission of data over very short distances. Bluetooth is normally used for transferring
data between laptops, or in Internet Kiosk type applications where roaming is not needed.
EDGE: Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution - An intermediary solution between GPRS (2.5G
network) and UMTS (3G), which is why it is sometimes called 2.75G.
UMTS: Universal Mobile Telecommunication System - So-called “Third-generation” (3G) wireless
communication standard that allows peak bit rates of 2 Mbps in the CDMA Version.
ADSL: Asymmetric DSL - One of the first DSL technologies with asymmetric bit rates. ADSL is a
technique by which analogous phone services and high-speed services Can be transported
