Moving from 3G to 4G

4G - evolution from GSM/EDGE/HSDPA/HSUPA+, EV-DO/EV-DV etc.

 A 4G system must provide capabilities to provide applications

include mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-
definition mobile TV, video conferencing, and 3D television.

4 G systems would:

 Unlike 3G Radio-technologies, 4G uses OFDM multi-carrier and frequency

domain-equalization schemes: Rendering the actual wave-replicas at the
receivers,

4 G systems:

Two 4 G standards emerged:

 3GPP’s LTE-Long Term Evolution:

 802.16 Group’s Wi-Max

4G / LTE and onward

4 G systems:
 LTE uses either Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) or Time Division
Duplex (TDD).

 FDD makes use of separate bands to transmit uplink and

downlink data, TDD uses time slots on the same frequency for
both uplink and downlink.

 With OFDM, LTE’s air interface introduced MIMO-based Tx/Rx

 LTE can provide download rates of 299.6 Mbit/s and upload rates
of up to 75.4 Mbit/s with SC-OFDM based on OFDM for DL
