Introduction:

ž4G stands for the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards.

žIt is a successor to 3G and 2G families of standards.

žFourth generation mobile communications systems that are characterized by high-speed data rates at 20 to 100 Mbps

Objectives of 4G Technology:

  • ž4G is being developed to accommodate the QoS
  • žMobile broadband access
  • žMMS
  • žVideo chat
  • žMobile TV like HDTV
  • žDigital video broadcasting
  • žA data rate of at least 100 Mbit/s
  • žSmooth hand off across heterogeneous networks
  • žAn all IP, packet switched network.

ITU Requirement And 4G Technology:

  • žBased on an all-IP packet switched network.
  • žPeak data rates of up to approximately 100 Mbit/s
  • žScalable channel bandwidth, between 5 and 20 MHz, optionally up to 40 MHz
  • ž802.16m standardized by the IEEE (i.e. WiMAX)
  • žLTE Advanced standardized by the 3GPP
