Overview of 3G

PRESENTED BY

K.MOHAMED IMRAN
 Why 3G?
• Higher bandwidth enables a range of new applications!!
• For the consumer
– Video streaming, TV broadcast
– Video calls, video clips – news, music, sports
– Enhanced gaming, chat, location services…
• For business
– High speed teleworking / VPN access
– Sales force automation
– Video conferencing
– Real-time financial information

 3G services in Asia
• CDMA (1xEV-DO)
– Korea: SKT, KTF
– Japan: AU (KDDI)
• WCDMA / UMTS
– Japan: NTT DoCoMo, Vodafone KK
– Australia: 3 Hutchinson
– Hong Kong: 3 Hutchinson

 3G Standards
• 3G Standard is created by ITU-T and is called as
IMT-2000.
• The aim of IMT-2000 is to harmonize worldwide 3G
systems to provide Global Roaming.

 GPRS (contd..)

• Modulation – GMSK
• Symbol Rate – 270 ksym/s
• Modulation bit rate – 270 kbps
• Radio data rate per time slot – 22.8kbps
• User data rate per time slot – 20kbps (CS4)
• User data rate (8 time slots) – 160kbps, 182.4kbps
• Applications are required to provide their own error
correction scheme as part of carried data payload.

 Channel data rates determined by Coding Scheme

Use higher coding schemes (less coding, more payload) when radio conditions are
good
Max throughput per GPRS channel

 CS1 guarantees connectivity under all conditions (signaling and start of data)
 CS2 enhances the capacity and may be utilised during the data transfer phase
 CS3/CS4 will bring the highest speed but only under good conditions
