4G refers to the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. It is a
successor to 3G and 2G families of standards. The nomenclature of the
generations generally refers to a change in the fundamental nature of the
service, non-backwards compatible transmission technology and new
frequency bands. The first was the move from 1981 analog (1G) to digital (2G)
transmission in 1992. This was followed, in 2002, by 3G multi-media support,
spread spectrum transmission and at least 200 kbit/s, soon expected to be
followed by 4G, which refers to all-IP packet-switched networks, mobile ultra-
broadband (gigabit speed) access and multi-carrier transmission. Pre-4G
technologies such as mobile WiMAX and first-release 3G Long term evolution
(LTE) have been available on the market since 2006 and 2009 respectively.

objective
1. 4G is being developed to accommodate the quality of service (QoS) and rate
requirements set by further development of existing 3G applications like
mobile broadband access, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), video chat,
mobile TV, but also new services like HDTV. 4G may allow roaming with wireless
local area networks, and may interact with digital video broadcasting systems.
2. The 4G working group has defined the following as objectives of the 4G wireless
communication standard:
3. Flexible channel bandwidth, between 5 and 20 MHz, optionally up to 40 MHz.
4. A nominal data rate of 100 Mbit/s while the client physically moves at high speeds
relative to the station, and 1 Gbit/s while client and station are in relatively fixed
positions as defined by the ITU-R,
5. A data rate of at least 100 Mbit/s between any two points in the world,
6. Peak link spectral efficiency of 15 bit/s/Hz in the downlink, and 6.75 bit/s/Hz in the
uplink (meaning that 1 Gbit/s in the downlink should be possible over less than
67 MHz bandwidth)
7. System spectral efficiency of up to 3 bit/s/Hz/cell in the downlink and 2.25
bit/s/Hz/cell for indoor usage.
8. Smooth handoff across heterogeneous networks,
9. Seamless connectivity and global roaming across multiple networks,
10. High quality of service for next generation multimedia support (real time audio, high
speed data, HDTV video content, mobile TV, etc.)
11. Interoperability with existing wireless standards, and
12. An all IP, packet switched network.
13. Femtocells (home nodes connected to fixed Internet broadband infrastructure 3
4G Mobile Network features
Some desirable new features for 4G networks
are:
Unified IP-based protocol architecture with
support for multiple radios
Multicasting, caching and security features, etc.
Hierarchical support of high-tier (cellular), med
tier (WLAN) and low-tier (personal area, sensor
nets)
Self-organizing, ad-hoc wireless discovery &
routing

Compare 3G & 4G
Comparison of 3G and 4G
3G:
--Back compatible to 2G.
--Circuit and packet switched networks.
--Combination of existing & evolved equipment.
--Data rate (up to 2Mbps).
4G:
--Extend 3G capacity.
--Entirely packet switched networks.
--All network elements are digital.
--Higher bandwidth (up to 100Mbps).

concept currently under consideration,
based on:
3 service tiers (cellular, WLAN, personal area)
BS’s, AP’s, FN’s (forwarding radio nodes),
user devices
automatic discovery and power management

Conclusion
Customers want the features delivered to them, simple and straightforward. Wireless
providers want to make money in a cutthroat industry. If the U.S. government wants to
software that consumers desire is already in wide use. The transmission hardware to take it
wireless is ready to go. And we have the security practices to make sure it all works safely.

The government need only push in the right direction; the FCC need only standardize 4G in
order to make the transition economically viable for all involved.
This is a need that demands a solution. Today’s wired society is going wireless, and it has a
problem. 4G is the answer.
