A 4G system is expected to provide a communication technology based on Internet Protocol. Internet protocol or IP is generally used in the computer networks for data communication among computers. All the devices are identified by a number called IP number. In 4G network this concept is extended to telephony with an intention to make data and voice communication integrated in the same architecture. The 4G network is supposed to facilitate a Gigabit speed i.e. a speed of 100+ Mega Bytes per second with a mobile node speed of up to 200km/hr. It will enable Internet access, IP…
This paper will compare and contrast 3G wireless networks to 4G networks in terms of services and application, network architecture, data throughput and user perceptions, it will distinguish between the 4G LTE, 4G WiMax, and 4G WiBro networks based on upload and download speeds, user perceptions, backward compatibility, service availability. It will also identify why the competition between the 4G LTE carriers has been so fierce and will describe the benefits of this competition to the subscribers.…
For a while in the past, we refer the wireless technology as cellular phones. But now, the term "wireless" refers to more varied devices & technologies, like smartphones, computers, printers, headphones and even speakers that connects together in different ways. Today’s wireless phones for example, may include data packets like 3G & 4G cellular radio signals, Wi-Fi and even Bluetooth technologies, these technologies have advance in a fast pace that investing in equipment like 4G phone and/or 802.11x wireless routers can offer you & your business a variety of speed improvements for your money. Now I shall describe the characteristics of every type of wireless signal types so we can learn to use every signal type.…
A research study report by ARC Chart estimated that Heterogeneous Networks (Hetnets) would push the global mobile infrastructure market to be worth $57 Billion by 2017 [1]. Hetnets revolve around the idea of coexistence of different wireless technologies. The foremost of these wireless technologies include the cellular technologies of 3GPP, LTE and 4G, IEEE 802.16, IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.20…

Since the introduction of the first mobile phone in 1924, there has been a steady climb in developing and enhancing, the mobile phone and its supporting technologies. The cellular network infrastructures as well as service providers have been hard at work; in making sure they are providing the best service as well as devices. The infrastructure alone has gone through several life cycles. Which is required in order providers to keep up with growth and technology changes. Wireless cellular providers, at one point offered services that ran off analog frequencies. Today the wireless networks are built off of an all-digital network, which is considered to be in its 3rd generation. 3rd generation technologies include GSM, GPRS, UMTS and CDMA.…
How much faster is 4G compared against 3G? The speed of 3G networks depends on how they are implemented. By 2010 Verizon (a CDMA network) had reached the limits of its 3G network speed in the United States. 4G networks allowed Verizon the ability to offer transmission speeds up to four times faster than its current 3G network. AT&T’s 3G network, however, is based on GSM. The GSM design left AT&T room to upgrade its current 3G speeds. “…it is anticipated that when AT&T upgrade[s] their 3G networks, their speeds will become comparable to 4G from…Verizon. (Diffen, 2011)”…
4g allows for high definition video and web access that is comparable to cable and adsl.…
3G is a communications company focused on bringing the benefits of the internet to the mobile telephone. The 3G network is built for data and future-proofed for 4G technologies. The organisation has invested billions of pounds developing and expanding the network which means 3G can connect more people to the internet in more places, whilst increasing the capacity to meet the ever-growing demand for data.…
4G will eventually support speeds of 1 Gbps for stationary users and 100 Mbps for moving users. That is good thing because you can get to a website quicker as well as being able to talk on the phone and surf the web at the same time.…
ii. Data - to meet consumer data needs 3G was introduced offering higher transfer rates paying the way for multimedia apps. 4G is now the current network offering 10 or more times the rate of 3G which can…
4G support the handoff and seamless connectivity in heterogeneous networks. For 4G popularity and commercial success, smoothly replace wireless standards…

4G is short for fourth generation of cellular telecommunications technology (Turban, Volonino). 4G mobile network standards enable faster data transfer rates. 4G technologies represent the latest stage in the evolution of wireless data technology. 4G also deliver average download rates of 3mbps or higher (Turban, Volonino). In contrast, 3G networks only deliver about one tenth of the 3mbps the 4G networks gives off (Turban, Volonino).…
Now, days so many technologies are developing in every field but most in mobile technology field. Here we will introduce different cellular technologies like GSM, CDMA, 3G, WIMAX, WIFI, UMTS, GPRS, EDGE etc. also provide comparisons & differences amongst them.…
