  • A Survey of Mobile Data Networks
    A SURVEY OF MOBILE DATA NETWORKS APOSTOLIS K. SALKINTZIS THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA ABSTRACT The proliferation and development of cellular voice systems over the past several years has exposed the capabilities and the effectiveness of wireless communications and, thus, has paved the way for wide-area wireless data applications as well. The demand for such applications is currently experiencing a significant increase and, therefore, there is a strong call for advanced and efficient mobile data technologies. This article deals with these mobile data technologies and aims to exhibit their potential. It provides a thorough survey of the most important mobile packet data services and technologies, including MOBITEX, CDPD, ARDIS, and the emerging GPRS. For each technology, the article outlines its main technical characteristics, discusses its architectural aspects, and explains the medium access protocol, the services provided, and the mobile routing scheme. istorically, wireless data communications was princi- and have access to external data, wireless data technology pally the domain of large companies with special- plays a significant part because it can offer ubiquitous con- ized needs; for example, large organizations that nectivity, that is, connectivity at any place, any time.

However, this situation is steadily when they exploit the benefits of connectivity.

Third generation (or 3G) offers a sig- nificant increase in capacity and is the opti- mum system for broadband data access. Third generation includes wideband mobile multimedia networks and broadband mixed wireless systems. The mobile systems support vari- able data rates depending on demand and the level of mobili- ty. Typically 144 kb/s is sup- ported for full vehicular mobil- ity and higher bandwidths for pedestrian levels of mobility. Switched packet radio tech- niques and wideband CDMA- like systems (as the physical channel is) rather than assigned physical channel schemes (referred to as circuit switched) are required to support this band- width-on-demand environment. There are two essential concepts beyond 3G. One of these is the provi- sion of data transmission at rates of 100 Mb/s while mobile and 1 Gb/s while station- ary.

  • Wireless Data Networks by Kostas Pentikousis, VTT
    Wireless Data Networks by Kostas Pentikousis, VTT ost IPJ readers are familiar with Wireless Local-Area Net- works (WLANs; see, for example, IPJ Volume 5, No. 1). M Some may even be familiar with recent developments in Wireless Metropolitan-Area Networks (WMANs), such as WiMAX. Although nonproprietary WMAN technologies are still in the standard- ization phase, the IEEE 802.11 family of protocols has reached maturity and rendered inexpensive (and often free) WLAN access increasingly popular. Both WLANs and WMANs provide high-speed connectivity (in the order of tens of Mbps), but user mobility is restricted. In fact, it is probably more appropriate to talk about “portability” rather than “mobility”[1] when referring to WLANs and WMANs. Wireless wide-area networks (WWANs), on the other hand, allow full user mobility but at data rates typically in the order of tens of kbps. This will change to some extent when third-generation (3G) cellular net- works are fully deployed. Still, 3G deployment is slower than originally anticipated, a development often attributed to the combination of high spectrum license costs, the recent economic downturn, and high equip- ment costs. As a result, both population and geographical coverage tend to be uneven. For example, in Finland, a forerunner in wireless commu- nications, population coverage is well below the 35-percent level, and geographical coverage is even smaller This article introduces several wireless network technologies, perhaps not so widely known, which deserve attention when considering how to provide mobile connectivity to field personnel, introduce machine-to- machine (M2M) communication, or deploy applications that require al- ways-on connectivity.

  • 4G Technology
    International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering. ISSN 0974-2166 Volume 6, Number 1 (2013), pp. 67-73 © International Research Publication House http://www.irphouse.com 4G Technology Komal Roll No. 211208, M.tech (ECE) E-mail: nit kurukshetra Abstract The ever increasing growth of user demand, the limitations of the third generation of wireless mobile communication systems and the emergence of new mobile broadband technologies on the market have brought researchers and industries to a thorough reflection on the fourth generation. A pragmatic definition of 4G derived from a new user-centric methodology that considers the user as the “cornerstone” of the design. In this way, the fundamental user scenarios that implicitly reveal the key features of 4G, which are then expressed explicitly in a new framework—the “user-centric” system that describes the various level of interdependency among them. This approach consequently contributes to the identification of the real technical step-up of 4G with respect to 3G. It is supposed to provide its customers with better speed and all IP based multimedia services. 4G is all about an integrated, global network that will be able to provide a comprehensive IP solution where voice, data and streamed multimedia can be given to users on an "Anytime, Anywhere" basis. Introduction With the deployment of 3G (3rd generation mobile communication systems) in process, the interest of many research bodies shifts towards future systems beyond 3G. Depending on the time such new systems are planned to be introduced and on the characteristic of improving or replacing existing systems they are called B3G (beyond 3G) or 4G (4th generation mobile communication system).

All other trademarks mentioned in this document are the property of their respective owners. 1st Printing November 2007 Preface The latest development in industrial device networking is the adoption of wireless technology for industrial applications. This is a very exciting development with potentially enormous benefits for system integrators and end users. However, many users may have questions about the different technologies that are available and how best to adapt them to specific applications. Other users may wish to gain a basic understanding of wireless technologies and applications but not know where to begin. The Industrial Wireless Guidebook was conceived as a helpful introduction to the wireless technologies now being used for industrial applications. Readers can learn basic terminology, the strengths and weaknesses of various wireless technologies, and how to decide on a wireless solution for a specific application. Detailed examples are provided to show how wireless technology is being used in different industries, and can serve as a starting point in developing your own project. Having been in the business for over twenty years, Moxa has been both a witness and participant to many developments in device networking technology. As new standards, interfaces, and protocols appear, we have kept pace and developed products that help integrate different technologies into one system.
