4G Mobile

Communicatio
n
 A network that operates on Internet technology,
Whats 4G? combines it with other applications and technologies
such as Wi-Fi, and runs at speeds ranging from 100
Mbps (in cell-phone networks) to 1 Gbps (in local
Wi-Fi networks).
 Ultra-broadband internet access

Uses of 4G IP telephony
Gaming services
Streamed multimedia
 MAGIC
Is the term that describes 4G
M = Mobile Multimedia
A = Anytime anywhere
G = Global Mobility Support
I = Integrated wireless solution
C = Customized personal service
 There are two commonly used standards
4G mobile
communicatio 1. LTE

Subscriber Identity
Module (USIM)
 Also known as the access network
The E-UTRAN ( Evolved Universal
E-UTRAN
Terrestrial Radio Access Network ) handles
the radio communications between the
mobile and the evolved packet core and just
has one component, the evolved base
stations, calledeNodeBoreNB. Each eNB
is a base station that controls the mobiles in
one or more cells.
 The eNB sends and receives radio
Functions transmissions to all the mobiles using the
Supported by analogue and digital signal processing functions
eNB of the LTE air interface.
The eNB controls the low-level operation of all
its mobiles, by sending them signaling messages
such as handover commands.
 Each eNB connects with the EPC by means of the S1 interface,
which is mainly used for signaling and packet forwarding during
handover.
 Also Core Network

The Home Subscriber Server (HSS)
Packages Core
component is a central database that contains
(EPC)
information about all the network operator's
subscribers.
The Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway (P-
GW) communicates with the outside world i.e.
packet data networks PDN, using SGi
interface. Each packet data network is
identified by an access point name (APN).
 The serving gateway (S-GW) acts as a router, and
Evolved forwards data between the base station and the
Packages Core PDN gateway.
(EPC) The mobility management entity (MME) controls
the high-level operation of the mobile by means of
signaling messages.
Signal is a simple inter-process communication used
to notify a process.
Traffic is the flow of data

shown in the above diagram but it is responsible for policy control
decision-making.

WiMAX
Worldwide Interoperability
for wicrowave access
 Goals

WiMAX Interoperability
Cost of deployment
 The system has two main components:
A WiMAX tower and a WiMAX receiver.
How Des Like Wi-Fi, WiMAX can connect directly to the
WiMAX work? Internet by sending a signal from a WiMAX
tower to a WiMAX-enabled device. A WiMAX
tower, however, can also connect to a second
tower this is what allows the network to provide
long-range wireless service.
WiMAX transmitters can cover an estimated 30-
mile radius whereas Wi-Fi's range is about 100
feet.
Orthogonal Frequency Division Modulation
(OFDM)
Basic idea:
Using a large number of parallel narrow-band
subcarriers instead of a single wide-band carrier to
transport information.
Advantages:
-Very easy and efficient in dealing with multi-path.
-Robust again narrow-band interference
