What is 4G?
Abbreviation of fourth generation wireless technology
It will provide a comprehensive IP solution where
voice , data and multimedia can be given to user on an
anytime , anywhere basis.
It includes several types of broadband wireless
communication system access including cellular
telephone system.

History of 4G technology

Why 4G is required?

Due to substantial growth in overall number of

subscribers.

Due to massive demand of new services like

data , audio , image or video .

Features of 4G TECHNOLOGY

Support for multimedia services like teleconferencing and

wireless internet.
Wider bandwidths and higher bitrates.
Entirely packet-switched network.
Global mobility and service portability.
Support for previous wireless technologies.
High internet speed.
Tight network security.

Technology used in 4G
OFDM

UWB
Smart antennas
IPv6

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing)

IT transmits large amounts of digital data over a radio wave.
OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller subsignals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different
frequencies to the receiver .
By inserting a cyclic prefix between adjacent OFDM signal inter
signal interference is virtually eliminated if the max. channel delay
spread is less than the time interval of cyclic prefix.
In OFDM the subcarrier pulse used for transmission is rectangular.
Here modulation can performed by an IDFT ,which can be generated
very efficiently as an IFFT . so, receiver only needs a FFT to reverse
this process.

UWB(ultra wide band)

.An advanced technology that can be used in 4G technology.
It is typically detected as noise.
It can use any part of the frequency spectrum, which means that it can use
frequencies that are currently in use by other radio frequency devices .
It uses a frequency of 3.1 to 10.6 Hz.
It uses less power , since it transmits pulse instead of continuous signal.
Special antennas are needed to tune and aim the signal.

IPv6
. IPv6

means Internet Protocol Version 6 .

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the method or protocol which data is sent
from one
computer to another on the internet.
Each computer (known as a host) on the Internet has at least one IP
that uniquely identifies it from all other computers on the Internet.
It includes128 bits, which is 4 times more than 32bits IP address in
IPv4.
Understanding of IPv6 in 4G- 32 bits IP address looks like this 216.37.129.9
- all 4 sets are defined in different functions and usages.
- the first set of the IP address (216.37.129.9) can be defined to
be thehome address purpose.

IPv6 continue
The second set of the IP address (79.23.178.229) can be declared as
the care-of address
After these addresses from cell and PC established a link, care-of
address will work instead of home address; it means that
communication channel will switch from the first set to to
the second set of the IPv6 address.
The third set of the IP address (65.198.2.10) can be signed as mobile
IP address. It is the communication channel to wire-line network and
wireless network. An agent between the cell phones and PC will use
this mobile IP address to establish a channel to cell phones.
The last set of IP address (192.168.5.120) can be local network
address for virtual private network (VPN) sharing purpose.

QOS(quality of service)

In wireless networks, Quality of Service (QOS) refers to the measure

of the performance for a system reflecting its transmission quality and
service availability.
4G is expected to have at least a reliability of 99.99%).
In 4G QOS may be divided in following ways Transaction-level QOS describes both the time it takes to complete a
transaction and the packet loss rate.

Circuit-level QOS includes call blocking for new as well as existing

calls .
User-level QoS depends on user mobility and application type .

Software defined ratio(SDR)

A software defined radio is one that can be
configured to any radio or frequency standard
through the use of software.
The phone should automatically switch from operating
on a CDMA frequency to a TDMA frequency whenever
it is required.
Roaming can be an issue with different standards, but
with a software defined radio, users can just download
the interface upon entering new territory, or the
software could just download automatically.

Application
In traffic control.
Multimedia video services
Telemedicine.

Crisis Management
Virtual Navigation

Limitations
Interoperability between the signaling techniques that are
planned for use in 4G.
Cost is another factor that could hamper the progress of 4G
technology.The equipment required to implement the nextgeneration network are still very expensive.
A Key challenge facing deployment of 4G technologies is how
to make the network architectures compatible with each other.
This was one of the unmet goals of 3G.

As regards the operating area, rural areas and many buildings

in metropolitan areas are not being served well by existing
wireless networks.
