Technology and integration in communication systems have been operating competitively in all forms of industry, resulting in continuous improvement of end services that reach the user. One of the most important areas that will affect the configuration and provision of these services is the emergence of the Internet of Things according to which, the connection of billion devices on the Internet is expected. These devices are going to exchange information and provide services. New telecommunications technologies should therefore be created in order to enable and support the applications of IoT. One of these applications is the development of Machine-To-Machine communications. This thesis is a review and inventory of existing mobile communication systems and a study of the technologies of future communications systems. More specifically, we study the transition from existing First Generation networks to the future Fifth Generation technologies, and make an introduction and analysis of M2M applications. Although these technologies and applications are not developed or are still at the research stage, the requirements for their implementation have already been identified and will be analyzed in this thesis. SUBJECT AREA: The evolution of mobile communications: Moving from 1G to 5G and from human-to-human to machine-to- machine communications. KEYWORDS: Fifth Generation Networks (5G), Machine-to-Machine Communications (M2M), Internet of Things (IoT), Evolution of Mobile Networks, Telecommunication systems ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ Στη σημερινή εποχή, που όλα γύρω μας εξελίσσονται με ταχύτατους ρυθμούς, αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της καθημερινότητας μας αποτελεί η επικοινωνία. Η τεχνολογία και η ενσωμάτωσή της σε συστήματα επικοινωνιών, έχει λειτουργήσει ανταγωνιστικά για κάθε μορφής βιομηχανία, με αποτέλεσμα την συνεχή βελτίωση των τελικών υπηρεσιών που φτάνουν στον χρήστη. Ένας από τους σημαντικότερους τομείς που πρόκειται να επηρεάσει την διαμόρφωση και παροχή αυτών των υπηρεσιών είναι η εμφάνιση του Διαδικτύου των Πραγμάτων (Internet of Things) σύμφωνα με το οποίο αναμένεται η σύνδεση δισεκατομμυρίων συσκευών στο διαδίκτυο. Οι συσκευές αυτές πρόκειται να μοιράζονται πληροφορίες και να παρέχουν υπηρεσίες. Θα πρέπει λοιπόν να δημιουργηθούν νέες τηλεπικοινωνιακές τεχνολογίες οι οποίες θα επιτρέπουν και θα υποστηρίζουν τις εφαρμογές του IoT. Μία από αυτές τις εφαρμογές είναι και η ανάπτυξη των Machine-To-Machine επικοινωνιών. Στην εργασία αυτή γίνεται μία ανασκόπηση και καταγραφή των ήδη υπαρχόντων συστημάτων κινητών επικοινωνιών αλλά και μία μελέτη των τεχνολογιών των μελλοντικών συστημάτων επικοινωνιών. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, μελετάται η μετάβαση από τα υφιστάμενα δίκτυα Πρώτης Γενιάς στα μελλοντικά δίκτυα Πέμπτης Γενιάς αλλά και η εισαγωγή και ανάλυση των Μ2Μ εφαρμογών. Αν και ακόμη αυτές οι τεχνολογίες και εφαρμογές είτε δεν έχουν υλοποιηθεί, είτε βρίσκονται σε ερευνητικό στάδιο, οι απαιτήσεις για την υλοποίηση τους έχουν ήδη προσδιοριστεί και πρόκειται να αναλυθούν στα πλαίσια αυτής της πτυχιακής εργασίας. ΘΕΜΑΤΙΚΗ ΠΕΡΙΟΧΗ: Η εξέλιξη των κινητών επικοινωνιών: Η μετάβαση από τα δίκτυα πρώτης στα δίκτυα πέμπτης γενιάς, και των επικοινωνιών από άνθρωπο σε άνθρωπο σε μηχανή προς μηχανή ΛΕΞΕΙΣ ΚΛΕΙΔΙΑ: Δίκτυα πέμπτης γενιάς, Διαδίκτυο των Πραγμάτων, επικοινωνία μεταξύ μηχανών, εξέλιξη κινητών επικοινωνιών, Τηλεπικοινωνιακά συστήματα ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΙΕΣ Για την ολοκλήρωση αυτής της πτυχιακής εργασίας θα ήθελα αρχικά να ευχαριστήσω τον καθηγητή μου, κύριο Μεράκο Λάζαρο που ανέλαβε και στήριξε την πρωτοβουλία μου για την ενασχόλησή μου με το συγκεκριμένο αντικείμενο ενώ παράλληλα συνέβαλλε στο να διευρύνω τις γνώσεις μου στον τομέα των κινητών δικτύων και να εντείνω το ενδιαφέρον μου σε συναφή επιστημονικά πεδία Στην συνέχεια, θα ήθελα να εκφράσω τις ιδιαίτερες ευχαριστίες μου στην υποψήφια διδάκτωρ Λιώτου Ειρήνη για την πολύτιμη και ουσιαστική καθοδήγηση που μου προσέφερε καθ’ όλη την διάρκεια εκπόνησης της πτυχιακής μου εργασίας. Η συμβολή της κρίθηκε καταλυτική για την πραγματοποίηση της παρούσας εργασίας. Τέλος, θα ήθελα να ευχαριστήσω την οικογένεια μου αλλά και τους πολύ καλούς μου φίλους Παπανάγνου Κατερίνα και Πετρόπουλο Κωνσταντίνο για την υπομονή και την κατανόηση που έδειξαν όλα αυτά τα χρόνια μέχρι τώρα, για την ολοκλήρωση των σπουδών μου.

However, there are various complaints that prices of retail roaming are intransparent, rigid and at levels that are unrelated to the cost of carriage. The focus if the paper is on wholesale roaming, which is the prime determinant of retail roaming prices. The paper analyses the structural conditions of wholesale roaming markets that have impaired incentives to competition, namely (1) high combined market share of the two leading operators combined with second mover disadvantages, and (2) demand externalities associated with customer ignorance and lack of control over network selection. The paper argues that a number of developments are under way that are likely to modify this situation in the future.

    Cellular Technologies Mobile Device Investigations Program Technical Operations Division - DFB DHS - FLETC Basic Network Design Frequency Reuse and Planning 1. 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.

If you are in Europe or Asia and using a mobile phone, then most probably you are using GSM technology in your mobile phone. GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communication. It is a digital cellular technology used for transmitting mobile voice and data services. The concept of GSM emerged from a cell-based mobile radio system at Bell Laboratories in the early 1970s. GSM is the name of a standardization group established in 1982 to create a common European mobile telephone standard. GSM is the most widely accepted standard in telecommunications and it is implemented globally. GSM is a circuit-switched system that divides each 200 kHz channel into eight 25 kHz time- slots. GSM operates on the mobile communication bands 900 MHz and 1800 MHz in most parts of the world. In the US, GSM operates in the bands 850 MHz and 1900 MHz. GSM owns a market share of more than 70 percent of the world's digital cellular subscribers. GSM makes use of narrowband Time Division Multiple Access TDMA technique for transmitting signals. GSM was developed using digital technology. It has an ability to carry 64 kbps to 120 Mbps of data rates. Presently GSM supports more than one billion mobile subscribers in more than 210 countries throughout the world. GSM provides basic to advanced voice and data services including roaming service. Roaming is the ability to use your GSM phone number in another GSM network. GSM digitizes and compresses data, then sends it down through a channel with two other streams of user data, each in its own timeslot.

  • Mobile Coverage and Its Impact on Digital Financial Services Leon Perlman1 and Michael Wechsler2
    Mobile Coverage and its Impact on Digital Financial Services Leon Perlman1 and Michael Wechsler2 ABSTRACT3 Digital Financial Services (DFS) is a relatively recent mobile-centric financial inclusion innovation in developing countries. Using ubiquitous mobile phones as the means of service access, DFS provides the unbanked and underserved - many of whom live in rural areas - with access to basic financial services provided by banks and non- banks such as mobile network operators and third party DFS providers (DFSPs). With mobile phones as the primary access mechanism for services, access to DFS is highly dependent upon the degree and quality of mobile coverage offered by mobile network operators (MNOs). User interfaces (UIs) for access to DFS are mostly dependent on the type of mobile coverage available which in many cases in the developing world is via slower (narrowband) second generation (2G) GSM technology. Faster broadband third (3G) and fourth generation (4G) mobile coverage is available in most developing world countries, but is mostly limited to urban and peri-urban areas and along national road corridors. Our study finds that the type of mobile coverage provided has a significant effect on the DFS UI and type of mobile phone that can be used for DFS access. Feature phones and Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) transactions continue to be the choice for the vast majority of (mobile money) users. Faster mobile broadband technologies are optimal for smartphone use – or hybrid smartphones in feature phone format - which

Kõik töö koostamisel kasutatud teiste autorite tööd, olulised seisukohad, kirjandusallikatest ja mujalt pärinevad andmed on viidatud. Käesolevat tööd ei ole varem esitatud kaitsmisele kusagil mujal. Autor: Jana Koltsova _____________ _____________ (kuupäev) (allkiri) 2 Annotatsioon Lõputöö eesmärgiks on kirjeldada viis GSM teenuse juurutamiseks virtuaalsetele mobiilsidevõrgu operaatoritele ja võimalus kasutada saadud teadmisi reaalses ettevõttes (Top Connect). Uuring näitab kuidas peab olema arhitektuur ehitatud, vastavalt GSM standardidele ja kuidas GSM teenused võivad olla pakutud mobiilsidevõrgu operaatori poolt. Selle eesmäri saavutamiseks on vaja mõista GSM geograafilise võrgustiku, GSM arhitektuuri ja selle komponente. Lisaks on vaja uurida, milliseid teenuseid saab rakendada, vastavalt GSM standarditele ja mis tüüpi mobiilsidevõrgu operaatorid pakuvad neid. Parim viis neid teenused pakkuda miljonite kasutajate jaoks, on luua Mobile Virtual Network Operator arhitektuur. Paari aasta jooksul MVNO populaarsus on kiiresti kasvanud. Need võivad pakkuda sama GSM teenuseid abonentidele, mis varem ainult klassikalise mobiilsideoperaatorit võiksid. Töös pakkutakse üks võimalik viis, kuidas virtuaalsed mobiilisidevõrgu
