4G/LTE Background How it works Innovation Brief Description of 4G/LTE Who is 4G/
LTE What is 4G/LTE? When Who Previous Generations 1G 2G 3G Global Impact Markets
(areas) Competition Technologies Key Features Architecture Data Rate The Future
of 4G Problems with 4G What we can do to fix it! WiMax HSPA+ 4G is the latest in
mobile telecommunications standards
successor to 3G standard with a data rate of 100mbps during high mobility commun
ication and 1Gbps while stationary
Scalable bandwidth channels of 5-20MHz, Global roaming across multiple networks
with smooth handover
HQ multimedia support,
interoperability with existing wireless standards
all based on an IP packet switch structure.
developed by 3GPP LTE launched commercially on December 14, 2009 in Europe
Followed shortly by Verizon's North American launch in 2010 Verizon

backwards compatible
Uses MIMO for Multiplexing data streams using multiple antenna.
Meets IMT's specifications
for 4G. To Fix LTE:
Add more towers
problems- cost
Add satellites
problems-cost$$$
improved technology to be able to deploy
increase bandwidth capabilities
Government is opening 500 more MHz of the spectrum for mobile broadband use.
problems- government regulations
incorporate multiple technologies
4g for video and web
3g for texting and voice
problems- uses too much battery power Average of $200 billion per year
This doesn't include the costs of adding onto the network.
The cost of developing new networks will increase too. Sprints version of a 4G n
etwork T-mobiles version of a 4G network Data traffic across 4G has doubled in t
he past few years
Most happens to be video and music streaming which takes up large amounts of ban
dwidth
Traffic is only going to increase, and we need a network that can handle it.
According to Cisco,without any improvements to the network, 4G's capacity would
be maxed out in less than four years 1980s
10 kbps
strictly Analog system started in the 1990s
10 kbps
first digital system
incorporates texting
composed of
2.5G (GPRS)
2.75G(EDGE)

for very slow data transmission 2001 was first release, and slowly improved
300 - 500 kbps
Texting with addition of Web browsing IPv4IPv6MIMO Increase research in longer lasting batteries
lithium ion is already used, we need longer lasting batteries.
"Wi-Fi solutions are also being sought out, including the deployment of hotspots
and devices that automatically switch to Wi-Fi when a network is detected. Cisc
o estimates that 16% of mobile data traffic will be offloaded to Wi-Fi by 2015."
mostly useful in the cities.
Optimize traffic flow
"Network providers are also scrambling for ways to make data more efficient. Com
panies like Vantrix and Cisco believe that optimized video can help cut mobile t
raffic by as much as 50%. " Verizon uses CDMA2000 (2G technology) and LTE. 0G Si
