Again, the fun notice. I'm going to skip it. It's in your slide handouts if you want to actually read it. Page 2 of 21 Objectives Objectives At the completion of this module, students should be familiar with: • Generations of cellular technologies • Types and capabilities of cellular networks • Government standards related to cellular devices • Cellular device components 3 **003 So at the completion of this, you should be familiar with these items. What are the different generations of cellular technology? This mostly applies to the network side. What is 11G, what is 2G? What exactly- what capabilities does 4G have that the other generations do not have? The types and capabilities of cellular networks. How does GSM differ from CDMA? How are they actually transmitting data? How do the cell towers actually work? Government standards related to cellular devices. Most of the standards are going to be based on Page 3 of 21 FCC regulations because they control the airwaves in the United States. There's other governing bodies that control the airspace in other countries. Some countries there is no control over the airspace. We're going to focus on the U.S. regulations. And then the components that make up a cellular device. Overview Overview Generations of Cellular Technologies • Evolution from 1st – 4th Generation • Mobile Devices Types and Capabilities of Wireless Networks • CMDA vs. TDMA • Bluetooth • IEEE 802.11 • US Government Security Standards 4 **004 The generations of cellular technologies. Evolution from 1st Generation to 4th Generation. What has happened with the devices? What features have been added along the way that weren't available in older generations? Page 4 of 21 CDMA versus TDMA. These are the underlying technologies of the CDMA and GSM networks. Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 or Wi-Fi, and the US Government Security Standards. Cellular Network Generations – 1G -1 Cellular Network Generations – 1G -1 1st Generation (1G) • Introduced for public use ~ 1981 • 100% Analog — No Data!! • AMPS – Advanced Mobile Phone System 5 **005 So 1st Generation. First introduced for public use in 1981. A hundred percent analog; no data was available. The problem with it being analog was anyone with a frequency scanner could listen in on your conversations. The problem with no data is you have nothing like SMS. You have MMS messages. You could only send phone calls. It actually used Page 5 of 21 frequency modulation to send the signal. So since it's analog, it took up the entire signal, the entire frequency it was transmitting on. So there was very few users per cellular tower. AMPS is the Advanced Mobile Phone System. That was introduced in 1978 in the United States. That is the United States version for allowing 1st generation communication. Very expensive; not secure; not widely used. Very expensive for somebody to use it. Cellular Network Generations – 1G -2 Cellular Network Generations – 1G -2 Very Expensive – Not Secure • Not widely used • Mobile units available in cars 6 **006 Most often these were business people that were using 1st generation technology. Most people you Page 6 of 21 wouldn't see having their own person phone. They're very big, they're very bulky; battery did not last a long time. It shows mobile units available in cars. There was actually car units available in other countries much earlier than 1978 when AMPS was introduced. So the car technology is really what spawned the rest of the cellular technology: very big batteries; wasn't something you could carry around. But Sweden, Norway had a system with car phones I think as early as the '50s or '60s. And so the cellular revolution then was just a shoot-off. As batteries became better, as these devices got- became smaller and didn't require as much power, that's when we started being able to see actual cellular devices not hooked up in a car. Page 7 of 21 Cellular Network Generations – 2G -1 Cellular Network Generations – 2G -1 2nd Generation (2G and 2.5G) • Introduced ~ 1991 • 100% Digital • Availability of data — 10 ~ 144 Kbps transfer • Emergence of SMS (Simple Message Service), MMS (Multimedia Message Service), and mobile Internet • CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) vs. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) 7 **007 So 2nd Generation. The 2nd generation of networks was introduced in '91. A hundred percent digital. So now instead of being able to use a frequency scanner and listening in on all the calls located near me, there's- it's all digital. With digital, we started getting encryption. We get very low data rates. We're talking about 10 Kbits/sec, up to 144 Kbits/sec. This is when we start seeing SMS and MMS messages available on cellular devices. That's about all you could do over-- you could do other stuff over 2G. But the Page 8 of 21 data rate is so slow. I wouldn't want to do like a video call over 2G. It's just too slow. We see the emergence of SMS, MMS and mobile Internet. You can finally keep up with your favorite fantasy football teams on your phone, if you really want to. It's just going to take 110 minutes to load Yahoo in order to see what your match ups for the week are. This is also where we start seeing CDMA-- which is Code Division Multiple Access-- versus GSM networks; Global System for Mobile Communications. We'll get into later in the block for the U.S. pretty equivalent number of users on the two systems. Worldwide that's not necessarily the case. GSM has many more users than CDMA because GSM was actually introduced in Europe. So they created it. They started rolling it out to their countries and countries that they had relationships with; and the U.S. decided well Qualcomm's part of the U.S.; let's go ahead and introduce CDMA networks also. Page 9 of 21 Cellular Network Generations – 2G -2 Cellular Network Generations – 2G -2 Competition • Market for cell phones grows exponentially • Network providers face off 8 **008 Market for cell phones grow exponentially. This is when you start seeing people walking around with personal cell phones; not just business use anymore. I can now use-- I want to keep in touch. I feel naked now if I don't have a cell phone on me. I want to be able to get my wife's email message or text message or voice call wherever I'm located. Cell phones allow you to be connected. I travel a lot. The last two months I've been out of the country for basically a month of the time. So having the cellular device is one of the ways that I can keep in Page 10 of 21 touch with the people back in San Antonio where I'm from. Without the cell phone, I would be gone for 18 days and might not have any type of communication if the place I was at didn't have wireless. The network providers face off. Network providers at this point decided are we going to be a GSM network; are we going to be a CDMA network? Cellular Network Generations – 3G -1 Cellular Network Generations – 3G -1 3rd Generation (3G) • Introduced ~ 2001 • Improved network speeds — 384 Kbps ~ 3 Mbps • GSM vs. CDMA2000 9 **009 3rd Generation. Introduced in 2001. The data rates increase exponentially. So instead of having 110 to 144 kilobits, we have 384 kilobits to up to 3 Mbits/sec. So the Page 11 of 21 speeds are much, much faster. We can actually start doing stuff like using it as a replacement for your home internet service. Three Mbits/sec is probably a speed you'll never see in the real world. That's like best-case scenario is 3 Mbits/sec on the network. Most users probably see no more than 11/2 Mbits/sec to 2 Mbits/sec. But it's still fast enough that when I'm out of the house-- or even if I'm in the house sitting on my couch-- instead of having to go to the computer to do something, I just do it on the cell phone instead; because it's good

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.

  • Cellular Network Sunsetting
    Cellular Network Sunsetting By Dave Anderson, Senior IoCP Program Manager The use of acronyms by the cellular industry is extensive. 3GPP, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, LTE, CDMA, 1xRTT, HSPA, GPRS, EV-DO, GSM, NB-IoT, and many others are examples of the plethora of technologies and descriptions used to ultimately describe the actual hardware and service used by a device to connect to various networks to communicate information. This complexity pales in comparison to the FCC spectrum allocation chart shown in Fig 1. The chart depicts the frequency spectrums where toys, TV, radio, military, medical, marine radios, satellites, space telescopes and all the other frequency uses in the United States. Other countries have their own versions of this chart. Cellular technology utilizes a very small portion of this chart, yet occupies a large portion of everyday life in today’s connected society. Figure 1 Close examination of this chart will show that there are no open or available blocks of spectrum, so as new technologies are developed they must either layer on top of existing technologies, or aging technologies must be turned off or ‘sunset’ to free up spectrum for newer technologies. The cell phone industry has diligently worked to define a consumer market where the expectation is to replace this communication device with contract renewal type regularity. From a consumer point of view, the older technologies are usually long passed before a sunset event would force a phone upgrade. In parallel to the explosive cell phone market growth is the industrial usage of the cellular communication networks. The presence of a cellular network removes the necessity for wired connections and makes mobile monitoring possible for a number of industries.

We calculated the power control error by Doppler shift and simulated bit error rate (BER) at the base station. We made the interference model and calculated the BER from lower bound of power control error variance. The reverse link BER was increased by high velocity although there was no coverage reduction. Capacity decrease was negligible in the pedestrian (5 km/h), urban vehicular(40 km/h), highway and railroad(100 km/h) environment. However, capacity was severely reduced in high speed train condition(300 km/h and 350 km/h). Cell-planning considering capacity as well as coverage is essential for successful cellular service in high speed train. 1 INTRODUCTION train with 300 km/h velocity.

Tonantzintla, 72840, Puebla, MEXICO [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Throughout the last years there has been a great interest in developing and standardizing the technologies needed to achieve high speed transmission of data in cellular networks. As a result, mobile communications technology has evolved amaz- ingly during the last decades to meet a very demanding market. Third generation (3G) wireless networks represent the more recent stage in this evolutionary process; they provide users with high transmission bandwidths which allow them to transmit both audio and video information in a secure manner. This report concerns a specific imple- mentation of the 3G requirement specification: Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), which is considered to be the most important of the 3G proposals. In order to protect the information transmitted through the radio interface, either user data or signaling data, an advanced security scheme was conceived. Among the features of this scheme are: mutual authentication,

  • Getting Connected
    Getting Connected Mobile devices must be connected to some type of wireless network in order to access the internet. This could be either a Wi-Fi or cellular network. We’ll look at both types of networks in this lesson to define what they are and how you connect to them. 1 A wi-fi network provides a wireless internet connection. All smartphones and tablets can connect to wi-fi. To set up a Wi-Fi network in your home, you must sign up with an Internet Service Provider, like your local phone or cable company. Many businesses, libraries, and other public places offer free wi-fi. Some businesses offer public Wi-Fi access for a small fee. You can use these public wi-fi networks while you visit these locations. 2 To connect to a Wi-Fi network for the first time, open your settings app. Then tap on Wi-Fi. It will show a list of any networks that are nearby. Networks with a lock icon require a password. This Network is Public Wi-Fi at a library and does not need a password. To access it, just tap the network name. Sometimes you may have to accept an agreement on public networks before you can continue. Once you’re connected, you’ll see the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar at the top of your device. 3 Always keep your information safe while connecting to Wi-Fi: Make sure you trust the public network before connecting to it. Do you know who set up the network? Try not to send private information over public Wi-Fi networks.
