Mobile Technologies: Consumer Perspective 1 Mobile Technologies and their evolution Eid Al Nakib

Mobile Technologies: Consumer Perspective 2 GSM Evolution GSM: Stands for Global System for Mobile Communication. The proposed system had to meet certain criteria: Good subjective speech quality Low terminal and service cost Support for international roaming Ability to support handheld terminals Support for range of new services and facilities Spectral efficiency ISDN compatibility voice, fax, SMS and Data transmission

Mobile Technologies: Consumer Perspective 3 GSM Evolution  GSM networks would enhance packet data services primarily in three (four) phases  General Packet Radio Services(GPRS) refers to the first phase of GSM network architecture enhancements that allow mobiles to connect to IP or X.25 based networks.  The GSM/GPRS network architecture will further evolve to support Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), which provides significant improvements over GPRS.

Mobile Technologies: Consumer Perspective 4 GSM Supplementary Services - I Advice of Charge: provides the mobile subscriber with an estimate of the call charges Call Forwarding: This service gives the subscriber the ability to forward incoming calls to another number Barring of outgoing calls: This service makes it possible for a mobile subscriber to present all outgoing calls Barring of incoming calls: This function allows the subscriber to prevent incoming calls Call Hold: This service enables the subscriber to interrupt an ongoing call and then subsequently reestablish the call

Mobile Technologies: Consumer Perspective 5 GSM Supplementary Services- II Call Waiting: This service enables the mobile subscriber to be notified of an incoming call. The subscriber can answer, reject, or ignore the incoming call Explicit Call Transfer Multiparty Service: The multiparty service enables a mobile subscriber to establish a multiparty conversation-that is, a simultaneous conversation between three and six subscribers Closed user groups (CUGs): CUGs are generally comparable to a PBX. They are a group of subscribers who are capable of only calling

Mobile Technologies: Consumer Perspective 6 GSM -> GPRS -> EDGE -> CDMA

Mobile Technologies: Consumer Perspective 7 Evolution Toward Third Generation Wireless Networks 1-G / 2-G: Capable of providing voice and low-rate data networks while air interfaces are inadequate for satisfying the high data rates specified. 3-G requirements: High data rates and QoS metrics. GSM is far the most popular standard in the World and particularly

Mobile Technologies: Consumer Perspective 8 GSM Services - Phase 1

Mobile Technologies: Consumer Perspective 9 GSM Services - Phase 2

Mobile Technologies: Consumer Perspective 10 GSM Services - Phase 2+ Primarily concerned with the improvement of Bearer (data!) services –Full data 14.4 kb/s –High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD) –General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Some additional supplementary services also specified

Mobile Technologies: Consumer Perspective 11 GPRS Vs. EDGE General Packet Radio Services Allows GSM mobile subscribers to connect to an IP- based or X.25-based network. new network elements are introduced with GPRS to the GSM architecture Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) EDGE reuses the GSM/GPRS time slot structure 200 kHz carrier and multi-slot operation allow service providers to deploy EDGE transceivers among existing GSM/GPRS transceivers. Adaptive radio link protocol will be employed to take advantage of the better channel quality.

Mobile Technologies: Consumer Perspective 12 GPRS MS –Two Components –Mobile Terminal (MT) –SIM card –Three Classes of terminal –Class A - simultaneous circuit switched (GSM) and packet switched (GPRS) traffic –Class B- supports both GSM and GPRS connections but not both at the same time. One call is suspended for the duration of the other –Class C - handless both GPRS or GSM but can only be connected to one at the same time.

Mobile Technologies: Consumer Perspective 15 CDMA BASICS CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) splits calls into fragments and send them over different frequencies simultaneously The use of multiple frequencies gives CDMA effective protection against interference and lost calls CDMA supports true packet switching and does not use time slots, therefore is more bandwidth efficient than TDMA -- also a more direct path to 3G Current CDMA penetration in the world market is about 27%

Mobile Technologies: Consumer Perspective 16 Overview of cdma2000-1x System CDMA is a new mobile communication mode. CDMA digital mobile communication network can satisfy the requirements of the second- generation mobile communication system for subscriber capacity and narrow-band services. It can also transmit smoothly to the third- generation mobile communication system Compared with GSM mobile communication system CDMA mobile communication system provides obvious technical advantages for the operator, CDMA mobile communication system provides high frequency usability fine coverage and convenient frequency planning. For CDMA mobile communication system provides fine voice quality subscribers low disconnection rate, small transmission power and strong security. CDMA2000 is the 3rd generation successor to IS-95 networks It provides up to twice the capacity of earlier CDMA systems, with peak data rates of up to kbps in Release 0, planned to increase to kbps in Release A.
