Wireless Generations

1G : was represented by an analog wireless system,

representing by the AMPS and the TACS.

2G : replace the analog transmission with digital

transmission, This generation is representing by GSM, IS136_IS-95.

3G : The 3G is denoting as UMTS, this generation is

developed from GSM, 3G provide some different
technologies GPRS , EDGE , UMTS Wideband CDMA.

LTE overview
LTE was started as a project in 2004 by groups of
telecommunications known as (3GPP).
LTE employs Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiple Access (OFDMA) for downlink data
transmission and Single Carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA)
for uplink transmission.
LTE supports both unpaired TDD and paired FDD.

Motivation of LTE system

The goal of LTE was to increase the capacity
and speed of wireless data networks.
Data rate for each user in the downlink should
be at least 150mbps and 75 Mbps in uplink.

The power consumption for battery is low.

Motivation of LTE system

High level of mobility and security.
Support of variable bandwidth form 1.5 MHz
to 20 MHz.
Round trip time <10 ms.
Packet switched optimized.

Peak Average Power Ratio

PAPR defined as the peak value of system can
be very high as compared to the average value
of system.
To reduce PAPR and save battery life, LTE uses
different access mode.

PAPR in OFDMA

 The main advantage of SC-FDMA over

OFDMA is low to Peak to Average
Power Ratio (PAPR) thats mean

Increasing battery life.
