ADVANCED MOBILE PHONE SYSTEM

(AMPS)
Analog FM modulation
RF bandwidth 30 khz. The band can accommodate 832 duplex channels, among
which 21 are reserved for call setup, and the rest for voice communication.
Frequency allocated by fcc on 824-849 mhz for downlink and 869-894 mhz for
uplink traffic.
Uses the same system throughout the us
A narrowband versus exists with a 10 khz channel spacing, such that 2496
channels can be assigned, in stead of 832 for the normal AMPS mode.

TDMA
Time division multiple access (TDMA) improves spectrum capacity by splitting
each frequency into time slots. TDMA allows each user to access the entire
radio frequency channel for the short period of a call. Other users share this
same frequency channel at different time slots. The base station continually
switches from user to user on the channel. TDMA is the dominant technology
for the second generation mobile cellular networks.

CDMA
Code division multiple access is based on spread spectrum technology.
Transmissions are spread over the whole radio band, and each voice or data
call are assigned a unique code to differentiate from the other calls carried
over the same spectrum.

3G
3G is the next generation of technology which has revolutionized the
telecommunication industry. Apart from increasing the speed of
communication, the objective of this technology is to provide various value
added services like video calling, live streaming, mobile internet access, IPTV,
etc on the mobile phones. These services are possible because the 3G
spectrum provides the necessary bandwidth.
