Mobile Communication Systems
Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS)
Introduced in 1983
Analogue system
Known as the first generation (1G) mobile phone system
Groupe Spcial Mobile (GSM)
Known today as the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM)
Specifications for a digital mobile system finalized in 1990
Second generation (2G) system
First GSM network deployed in Finland in 1991

Mobile Communication Systems (cont.)
Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS)
UMTS forum formed in Zurich in 1996
1st UMTS network launched in United Kingdom in 2003
Third generation (3G) system
Long Term Evolution (LTE)
IP based packet-only network
Flat architecture (only one type of node in radio access network, i.e.
base station and without central controller)
December 14, 2009, the first commercial LTE deployment by
Teliasonera in Scandinavian capitals Stockholm and Oslo
LTE is NOT 4G (a 4G system must fulfill some requirements)
Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A)
The real 4G network
Fulfill the 4G requirements (spectral efficiency, peak data rate, ...)
SK Telecom South Korea launched first LTE-A network in June 2013

Spectrum Allocation
Spectrum - scarce natural resource
International Telecommunications Union (ITU)
Controls usage of spectrum worldwide
Frequency Allocation Board (FAB) of Pakistan is signatory
Valid usage of frequencies documented in Radio Regulations
World Radio Conference (WRC)
Organized in about every three years
Usage of frequencies adapted to latest technical developments
