The Mobile Telephone
 A Mobile Telephone (also known as a Cellular
Telephone) is defined as a 'portable
electronic device for the purpose of
telecommunications over long distances.’
 There are different kinds:
◦ Standard phones--multimedia phones that allow
users to download music, ringtone, watch TV and
videos and send multimedia messages
◦ Smartphones( blackberry, Nokia N series) which
are relatives of the PDA offer computing
capabilities. These Include the iphone that
presents whole Web pages via its safari browser.
 iPod an MP3 player and Internet device
which could also be used as a mobile
device.
◦
 Evolution of the Mobile
Telephones
 The mobile industry currently
offers 1G, 2G and 3G devices. 1G
is being phased out while 4G
devices are still under
development but countries such
as Japan and China are already
using 4G technology.

4G
3G
 The radio telephone system preceded
modern cellular mobile telephony
technology (1G).
The radio telephone system contained one

2G central antenna tower per region. The

central antenna required radio phones to
have a powerful transmitter, capable of
transmitting up to 50 miles. The number
of radio telephones per region was limited
1G by the number of available channels.
Unlike closed radio systems, radio
telephones were connected to the public
telephone network and were typically
0G 
mounted in cars, trucks, and briefcases.

First Generation Cellular
Communication (1G)

4G
3G  The 1G cellular telephone
system divided cities into
small cells. This division
2G allowed extensive frequency
reuse across a city, allowing
millions to use cell phones
simultaneously.
1G
1G cell phone technology
0G encompassed analog
standards introduced in the
1980s and continued until
replaced by 2G digital cell
phones. 5
Second Generation Cellular
Communication (2G)
4G 2G (GSM standard)—GPRS

(General Packet Radio Service
3G was introduced in 2001. It added
packet switching protocols to
mobile communications
2G technology and TCP/IP thus
making possible the reading and
1G sending of e-mails, instant
messaging (IM), and browsing the
0G Internet. SMS or short message
service is heavily used.
 2.5 G added MMS.

Third Generation Cellular
Communication (3G)
4G  3G—UMTS (Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System)

3G

3G networks provide the ability to
transfer voice data and non-voice data
(music downloads, emails and instant
messaging) over the same network
simultaneously.
2G 3G networks deliver broadband
capacity and support greater numbers
of voice and data customers at lower
1G incremental costs than 2G.
Standards:
- W-CDMA: Wideband Code Division Multiple

Access
- EVDO: Evolution-Data Optimized

 3G vs. 4G

 Less Complexity, Faster Transmission

Unlike the 3G networks which are a combination of

circuit switched and packet switched networks, 4G will
be based on packet switching only. This will allow low-
latency data transmission.


3G
Leading U.S. Carrier 3G EVDO
network currently averages 400
to 700 Kbps with peak rates up
to 2 Mbps.
4G
International Carrier is testing
4G communication at 100 Mbps
while moving, and 1 Gbps while
stationary.

 4G Definition

4G Fourth Generation Cellular

Communication (4G)

3G 4G is not one defined technology or standard, but

rather a collection of technologies and protocols aimed
at creating fully packet-switched networks optimized for

2G data.

4G networks are projected to provide speeds of 100

Mbps while moving and 1 Gbps while stationary.

4G Possibilities

4G  Enhanced Mobile Gaming

3G Experience enhanced wireless

capabilities that deliver mobile
2G gaming interaction with latency less
than five milliseconds.

1G Play online multiplayer games while

traveling at high speeds or sitting
outside.

 4G Possibilities

4G Personal Media Repository

3G Create a personal media

2G repository that can be

accessed from home and on
the road to view photos,
1G watch movies and listen to
your personal music
collection.

 4G Possibilities

4G  Virtual Presence

3G Use hologram-generating virtual

reality programs that provide an
artificial presence just about

2G
anywhere.

For example, decide if you want

to personally respond when
1G someone rings your front door
while you are away from home.

 4G Possibilities

4G  Broadband Access in
Remote Locations

3G 4G networks will provide a

wireless alternative for
broadband access to residential
2G and business customers.

In addition, 4G will provide the

1G first opportunity for broadband
access in remote locations
without an infrastructure to
0G 
support cable or DSL access.
