Abstract:-
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.
We can differentiate & compare each technology on the basis of frequency, bandwidth, voice code, data bit rate, short message services (SMS), sim card, capacity, economics etc.
I. Introduction

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, GPRS, 3G, WIMAX, WIFI, UMTS, and EDGE etc. also provide comparisons & differences amongst them. Each technique can be differentiating by their frequency, bandwidth, voice code, data bit rate, short message services (SMS), sim card, capacity, economics etc.
In a cellular network, cells are generally organized in groups of seven to form a cluster. There is a “base station” at the centre of each cell, which houses the transmitter/receiver antennae and switching equipment. The size of a cell depends on the density of subscribers in an area: for instance, in a densely populated area, the capacity of the network can be improved by reducing the size of a cell or by adding more overlapping cells. This increases the number of channels available without increasing the actual number of frequencies being used.
There is Different Technologies introducing as time passes like GSM, CDMA, GPRS, 3G, WIMAX, WIFI, UMTS, and EDGE etc. We will see all those technologies in details they are as following.
II. BASIC STRUCTURE

In a cellular network, cells are generally organized in groups of seven to form a cluster. There is a “cell site” or “base station” at the centre of each cell, which houses the transmitter/receiver antennae and switching equipment. The

This enables a large number of portable transceivers to communicate with each other and with fixed transceivers and telephones anywhere in the network, via base stations, even if some of the transceivers are moving through more than one cell during transmission.…

    In Pierre Berton’s ‘Vimy’, the reader is taken on an adventure following multiple Canadian soldiers who bravely fought in world war one. It is tough for any author to capture the real horrors of war, but in his non-fiction historical masterpiece, Canadian author and historian, Pierre Berton, does an excellent attempt to do just that. With accurate quotes and images it feels as if you have ventured across the cold Atlantic ocean, just as young Canadians did almost one hundred years ago. In 1914 Britain joined a war that had already had its first battles, primarily between the German and the French. Because Canada was under the rule of the king and not its own country (yet), she automatically joined on the side of Britain. When this happened, there was much commotion in Canadian streets. “All Across Canada from Toronto to Quebec and Calgary to Vancouver, men were rushing to enlist.” (Berton 17) Many were turned down. Some because they were too unfit some because they wore glasses and some because they were too small. But the most popular reason was because the boys were too young. The legal age to enlist in Canada is eighteen but it was not uncommon for boys who were only seventeen or even younger to lie about their age. Boys were over the moon to get out of school early, some quitting after just grade ten. It was the thing to do back then. Like modern commercials we see on television where marketers use advertising techniques like bandwagoning, young boys were anxious to be in the army and more importantly, not to be left out. These events demonstrate the first theme present in the first half of the book- patriotism. Or in this case, false patriotism, because these boys, now soldiers, were very mislead. They thought of war as heroic cavalry charges and sieges that would go down in history, but once they arrived in France they quickly realized otherwise. Patriotism is evident throughout this book, but mostly during the chapters concerning the Canadians. Pierre Berton…

    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.…
