History of GSM
In 1981 First analogue mobile service was launched GSM began in 1991 GSM was a European wide project from beginning GSM used in more than 170 countries Originated from 1G ->2G->2.5G->3G 3G version is named as UMTS 3G Network provide higher capacity than the older generations
1) 1st Generation (analogue): Only Voice calls 2)2nd Generation(GSM): Voice call& SMS & Low Speed Data (~ 9.6 Kbps ) a)2.5 Generation(GPRS): Voice & SMS & High Speed Data (~ 115Kbps) b)2.75 Generation(EDGE): Voice & SMS & Higher Speed Data (~ 384Kbps) 3) 3rd Generation:Voice & SMS & Very High Speed Data(upto 2Mbps)(3G - WCDMA) 4) 3rd Generation + Voice & SMS & Extremely High Speed Data(HSDPA)Theoretical Data Speed

GPRS..
GPRS is a new set of GSM-bearer services that provide packet mode transmission within the GSM network & interconnects with external packet data networks.
What is GPRS ?
General Packet Radio Service 2.5 G system standardized by ETSI Migration Path to 3G Networks Very Little change to GSM infrastructure Direct support for Data Network No need to reorganize spectrum Introduce packet-switched routing functionality Better data transfer rates Low cost and connectivity-oriented
GPRS Architecture

Therefore limiting
The Appeal & usage of those services The revenues generated
Limitations of 2G System
Limited support of multimedia/ video
High speed data not possible No common frequency band No single global standard available Low information bit ratesVarious categories of systems to meet specific requirements Video streaming not possible
Some Facts
Global Mobile Penetration: 500 Crores users Global mobile internet users:100 Crores Fixed Internet users:140 Crores It is expected that in 2015 Mobile internet users will surpass fixed internet users by significant margin Internet enabled mobile handset sales increasing @20% to 30% CAGR, 200 crores such phones are expected to be sold by 2015. 20 crores users are accessing face book from their mobile devices.300% yearly growth expected in this category. Overall mobile data usage expected to be increased
Why 3G?
3G requirements 1.High data transmission rates. 2.Better spectrum efficiency 3.World wide roaming 4.Flexibilty to introduce new services 5.Should be able to offer variable bit rates for bandwidth on demand.
What is 3G?
3G is the third generation of wireless network technology also called UMTS that provides : High speed bandwidth . High data transfer rates . Good Quality multimedia services
UMTS Band
UMTS band used in India Uplink 1920 MHz 1980 Mhz Downlink 2110 Mhz 2170 Mhz Bandwidth 60 Mhz Carrier size 5 Mhz Total No. of Carriers 124
Advantages of 3G
3G networks offer the users advantages such as: New radio spectrum. More bandwidth, security and reliability. Interoperability between service providers. Fixed and variable data rates. Asymmetric data rates. Backward compatibility of devices with existing networks.

Traffic Information
APPLICATION OVERVIEW
This service both collects and distributes traffic information. Traffic information is very important need for city dwellers. Systems can estimate traffic information by sampling mobiles in automobiles on freeways anonymously to determine average velocity of vehicles. If this is not possible in locataion more static information can be collected from city authorities. All this information is mapped and sent to mobile users who request it. Stickiness : Daily traffic info. pushed during rush hours via SMS/MMS Most people need to know the current traffic sitution on their route. Hosting: Operator / ISP WAP/Web/MMS/SMS: yes/yes/yes/yes Devices supported: - All devices Commerically used worldwide
Positioning based information, advertisements... Telecom & backhand IT infrastructure makes it possible!

4G
As the first implementations of 3G are beginning to roll out, the shortcomings of 3G networks are already being discussed and the scientists/researchers have begun to talk of 4G (also referred to as IMT-Advanced by ITU) which, at this initial stages, implies improvement and the fixing of lingering 3G problems, apart from increasing data speeds beyond 2 Mbps. Systems beyond IMT-2000 are commonly referred to as the Fourth Generation Networks (4G) or Beyond 3G (B3G) or IMT Advanced.
4G Vision
There will not be a single network branded as 4G in the same way that there is 2G GSM or 3G UTRAN. Instead, 4G will be a collection of networks and a wide variety of smart devices communicating with each other.
The 4G technology will provide for a collection of different kinds of multiple access networks in which a user can gain access to a portal on the Internet (or whatever the entity) by the most appropriate means.
The user will not have to know which network provides the service. The smart device can analyze its environment and choose the best available service provider and technology (service discovery).
Contd.
Contd..
Both the network entities and the smart devices will be able to configure themselves so that they can adapt to new requirements. The emergence of fourth generation of mobile services will allow Users to connect to different networks depending on their location. For example, a handset could connect a wireless local area network (WLAN) when inside a building, switch to a 3G mast when outside, And connect to a standard network in areas with no 3G coverage.
4G is supposed to be an all IP Network with higher bit rates, enhanced Multimedia services, smooth streaming videos, worldwide Access/roaming capability, Intelligent software as driven technique. OFDM-UWB (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing-Ultra Wide Band) as representative standard, FDMA, TDMA, CDMA as Multi access techniques, low cost and tight security network.
Indian Initiative
The Centre of Excellence in Wireless Technology (CEWiT) India, an autonomous institution, has been set up under a public-private initiative with a view to spearhead research within the country in the area of 4G technology. Broadband Wireless Consortium of India (BWCI), is a strategic initiative of CEWIT with the objective of providing a common national forum for all stakeholders in the broadband wireless market in India with a view to co-ordinate activities within India and also to ensure adequate representation of the needs of the Indian broadband wireless market in global standard forums.
