Abstract
Mobile communication systems has changed the way of communication which is
very fast whatever the distance is. Mobility was the main feature of it but by the time
being a lot more demands has been included rather than the voice communication.
Within short time a remarkably long way has been achieved. Cellular system is the
way of dividing the communication network into small cells so that low power radio
antennas could be used to ensure the mobility with longest possible power backup.
Evolution of this cellular systems is about to reach its fifth generation (5G). This
chapter will provide the overview of the cellular systems from first generation (1G) to
fifth generation (5G).
Keywords:
Cellular systems, 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, Mobile broadband.
Introduction
To cope up with the increasing demand it is seen that the newer generation of
the technologies are being replaced with the next one. In 1980 the first generation
cellular system was launched. It was analog cellular technology. After a decade the
second generation was introduced which was digital systems with the benefit of short
messaging (SMS) and lower speed data. GSM and CDMA were two different
technologies of 2G, although CDMA2000 1xRTT is sometimes called a 3G technology
because it meets the 144 kbps mobile throughput requirement. EDGE, however, also
meets this requirement.
3G requirements were specified by the ITU as part of the International Mobile
Telephone 2000 (IMT-2000) project, for which digital networks had to provide 144
kbps of throughput at mobile speeds, 384 kbps at pedestrian speeds, and 2 Mbps in
indoor environments. UMTS-HSPA and CDMA2000 EV-DO are the primary 3G
technologies, although recently WiMAX was also designated as an official 3G
technology. 3G technologies began to be deployed last decade. The fourth generation
(4G) is focused on IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video
conferencing, 3D television along with the basic requirements of the previous
generation. LTE and WiMAX were the two commercial systems. Requirements include
operation in up-to-40 MHz radio channels and extremely high spectral efficiency. The
ITU recommends operation in up to 100 MHz radio channels and peak spectral
efficiency of 15 bps/Hz, resulting in a theoretical throughput rate of 1.5 Gbps.
Previous to the publication of the requirements, 1 Gbps was frequently cited as a 4G
goal.
The fifth generation (5G) cellular systems standards will probably be introduced
in 2020. According to the history of GSM there are three distinct 5G network visions
that had emerged by 2014. A super-efficient, a super-fast and a converged fiberwireless network are the main features of 5G. There is a skeptics argue that there is

little room for larger channel bandwidths and new frequency bands suitable for landmobile radio. The higher frequencies would overlap with K-band transmissions of
communication satellites. From users' point of view, previous mobile generations
have implied substantial increase in peak bit rate, up to 1 gigabit per second to be
offered by 4G.
If 5G appears and reflects these prognoses, then the major difference, from a
user point of view, between 4G and 5G must be something other than faster speed
(increased peak bit rate). For example, higher number of simultaneously connected
devices, higher system spectral efficiency (data volume per area unit), lower battery
consumption, lower outage probability, high bit rates in larger portions of the
coverage area, lower latencies, higher number of supported devices, lower
infrastructure deployment costs, higher versatility and scalability, or higher reliability
of communication.
Evolution of cellular systems
Cellular systems are categorized in to generations as mentioned above. The
below figure depicts the basic requirements of different generations.

The first generation systems:
