Of all the tremendous advances in data communications and telecommunica- tions, perhaps the most revolutionary is the development of cellular networks. Cellular technology is the foundation of mobile wireless communications and supports users in locations that are not easily served by wired networks. Cellular technology is the underlying technology for mobile telephones, personal communications systems, wireless Internet and wireless Web appli- cations, and much more. We begin this chapter with a look at the basic principles used in all cellular networks. Then we look at specific cellular technologies and stan- dards, which are conveniently grouped into four generations. Finally, we examine LTE-Advanced, which is the standard for the fourth generation, in more detail. 10.1 PRINCIPLES OF CELLULAR NETWORKS Cellular radio is a technique that was developed to increase the capacity available for mobile radio telephone service. Prior to the introduction of cellular radio, mobile radio telephone service was only provided by a high-power transmitter/ receiver.

(Federal Ministry of Science and Technology, Nigeria.) _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Demand for high data rate in recent times has led to the development of LTE technology. There has been an increase of downlink and uplink speed of radio mobile communication to 10 M bps and 50 Mbps respectively. As mobile subscribers keep increasing, there is a need to enhance bandwidth for adequate data transmission. This study focused on the application of the MIMO system to enhance channel capacity by allocating more power to subchannels with better signal to noise ratio (SNR). The adaptive iterative water-filling technique was proposed and compared with other system capacity enhancement techniques such as conventional water filling and equal power allocation techniques by in incorporating the effect of path loss in wireless communication network The results presented show that incorporating path-loss model of LTE systems in the bands of 1800 MHz and 2500 MHz improves the MIMO system capacity. Also, increased in antenna size both at the transmitter and the receiver enhances the system capacity tremendously.

Cellular Technology enables mobile communication because they use of a complex two-way radio system between the mobile unit and the wireless network. 2. It uses radio frequencies (radio channels) over and over again throughout a market with minimal interference, to serve a large number of simultaneous conversations. 3. This concept is the central tenet to cellular design and is called frequency reuse. Basic Network Design Frequency Reuse and Planning 1. Repeatedly reusing radio frequencies over a geographical area. 2. Most frequency reuse plans are produced in groups of seven cells. Basic Network Design Note: Common frequencies are never contiguous 7 7 The U.S. Border Patrol uses a similar scheme with Mobile Radio Frequencies along the Southern border. By alternating frequencies between sectors, all USBP offices can communicate on just two frequencies Basic Network Design Frequency Reuse and Planning 1. There are numerous seven cell frequency reuse groups in each cellular carriers Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) or Rural Service Areas (RSA). 2. Higher traffic cells will receive more radio channels according to customer usage or subscriber density. Basic Network Design Frequency Reuse and Planning A frequency reuse plan is defined as how radio frequency (RF) engineers subdivide and assign the FCC allocated radio spectrum throughout the carriers market. Basic Network Design How Frequency Reuse Systems Work In concept frequency reuse maximizes coverage area and simultaneous conversation handling Cellular communication is made possible by the transmission of RF. This is achieved by the use of a powerful antenna broadcasting the signals.

    WHITE PAPER Wi-Fi Data Rates, Channels and Capacity By Cees Links, GM of Qorvo Wireless Connectivity Business Unit Formerly CEO & Founder of GreenPeak Technologies Introduction Considerable confusion exists about the performance that Wi-Fi at 5 GHz and at 60 GHz (WiGig) actually deliver. The “Over the past 20 cause of this confusion stems mostly from the complexity of the interplay of the technical factors involved, as well as years, the IEEE the widely different Wi-Fi transmission environments – especially in indoor environments. Another reason is the 802.11 standard has not uncommon but facile assumption that faster is better. If you asked a road traffic expert whether faster meant provided increased better, he would tell you that faster driving means reduced road capacity. Data communications in a shared medium transmission speeds.” is not very different. Over the 20 years of its development, the IEEE 802.11 standard has provided for increasing levels of transmission speeds, but disappointing results in practical use have led to more emphasis on capacity.

The frequency 850 MHz that is previously owned by Telkom Flexi, then shifted to belong to Smartfren and will be transferred to become 2G GSM operated by Telkomsel Madura. The result shows that the transfer process of the frequency function goes well. This produces that the average value of drive test before diversion are Rx Level = 87.969%, Rx Qual = 87.791%, SQI = 80.809%. The average value of drive test after diversion are Rx Level = 91.967%, Rx Qual = 89.926%, SQI = 82.049%. The traffic value before diversion is 503.296 Erlang and 627 Erlang for after diversion.

  • CELLULAR TECHNOLOGY and SECURITY Author: RYAN JONES
    CELLULAR TECHNOLOGY AND SECURITY Author: RYAN JONES As we head into the 21st century, wireless communications are becoming a household name. We are going to explore the advent of analog cellular, security flaws and fixes, as well as the dawning of a new age with the proliferation of digital cellular technology. ADVENT OF CELLULAR TECHNOLOGY What was the purpose of the first cellular phones? They allowed business people access to a phone while in their automobile. The first cell phones had to be installed in cars at a price of $3000 or more. Only sales people, and business travelers could justify the price for the service. Through time, the cost of cell phone technology began to decrease, and the market began to expand. Cell phones were still only available in cars, until the early 1990’s when more advanced technology arrived, whereby spectrum capacity was expanded. In the past, the only way to allow more users into a fixed amount of spectrum, was to decrease the amount of bandwidth allocated to each user. The only problem with giving each user a smaller slice of the pie, was that the channels carried less information, and their was an increased chance for multipath fading. Increased demand for mobile telephone caused a battle between users for the band of frequencies allocated to mobile communications by the FCC. When the wireless sector realized that they would not be able to meet the demand, the industry came up with the “cellular” concept. CELLULAR CONCEPT The cellular concept allows different frequencies to be utilized more than once.
