3 G DATA ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES
WHAT IS 3 G 3G is the third generation of mobile phone standards and technology, superseding 2G, and preceding 4G. To meet the growing demands in network capacity, rates required for high speed data transfer and multimedia applications, 3G standards started evolving. .
Technologies • 3G is superior to the other digital standards like:- • GSM (Global System for Mobile) communications standard used worldwide .And IS-136 TDMA standard used primarily in North America. • 3G Technologies:- • WCDMA or UMTS-FDD (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System - Frequency Division Duplex)---Direct Spread • CDMA2000 - 1x-EvDO/EvDV---Multi carrier • UMTS – TDD (Time Division Duplex) or TD-SCDMA (Time Division - Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) ---Time Code • 4G Technologies:- • Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB) and Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) for wide area broadcasting • Local Multipoint Distribution System (LMDS) • Microwave Multipoint Distribution System (MMDS)
1G: analog 2G : 1st digital mobile telephony 2.5G: transition from 2G to 3G 3G standard: IMT 2000 Route to 3G
Wireless communication revolution Changing the way we live Capabilities not possible in the past THEGENERATION OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES
History of Mobile Telephony First Generation (1G) • Early 1980's • Analog transmissions (Advanced Mobile Phone Service) • 824 - 890MHz • Cellular modems • Cellular Digital Packet Data (9600 bps) Motorola MicroTAC 9800X AMPS Motorola DynaTAC 8000X AMPS
First generation:- Almost all of the systems of this generation were Analog systems where voice was considered to be the main traffic. 1G wireless networks used analog radio signals. Through 1G, a voice call gets modulated to a higher frequency of about 150MHz and up as it is transmitted between radio towers. This is done using a technique called Frequency-Division Multiple Access (FDMA). These systems could often be listened to by third parties. 3.DRAWBACK OF 1G 1G compares unfavorably to its successors. It has low capacity, unreliable handoff, poor voice links, and no security at all since voice calls were played back in radio towers, making these calls susceptible to unwanted eavesdropping by third parties.
History of Mobile Telephony Second Generation (2G) • Early 1990's • Digital AMPS • Personal Communications Service • 1.9GHz band; 20-70Kbps typical • Utilized CDMA & TDMA • Advantages • Compression • Less power consumption • Short Messaging Service / MMS • Security • Disadvantages • Poor signal conditions • Lossy compression Motorola StarTAC
Second generation:- 2G refers to second generation wireless telecommunication technology. While its predecessor, 1G, made use of analog radio signals, 2G uses digital radio signals. Based on what type of multiplexing (the process of combining multiple digital data streams into one signal) is employed, 2G technologies may be categorized by whether they are based on time division multiple access (TDMA) or code division multiple access (CDMA). Around 60% of the current market is dominated by standards. of second Generation.
TDMA-based 2G standards • It includes the following: • Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), used worldwide; • Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (IDEN), developed by Motorola and used in the United States and Canada; • Interim Standard 136 (IS-136) or Digital Advanced Mobile Phone System (D-AMPS), used in North and South America; and • Personal Digital Cellular (PDC), used in Japan. • IS-95, on the other hand, is CDMA-based. It was developed by Qualcomm, and is alternately known as TIA-EIA-95 or cdmaOne.
ADVANTAGES OF 2G • 2G cellphone units were generally smaller than 1G units, since they emitted less radio power. • Another advantage of 2G over 1G is that the battery life of a 2G handset lasts longer, again due to the lower-powered radio signals • 2G also offered additional services such as SMS and e-mail. • Its lower power emissions also made 2G handsets safer for consumers to use.
2G Wireless The technology of most current digital mobile phones Features includes:- Phone calls- Voice mail- Receive simple email messages Speed: 10kb/sec Time to download a 3min MP3 song:31-41 min
2.5 Generation 2.5G, which stands for "second and a half generation," is a cellular wireless technology developed in between its predecessor, 2G, and its successor, 3G. "2.5G" is an informal term, invented solely for marketing purposes, unlike "2G" or "3G" which are officially defined standards based on those defined by the International Telecommunication (ITU). The term "2.5G" usually describes a 2G cellular system combined with General Packet Radio Services (GPRS), or other services not generally found in 2G or 1G networks.
GPRS is a service commonly associated with 2.5G technology. It has data transmission rates of 28 kbps or higher. Improved 2G networks (GPRS) manages to support few of applications like web browsing, emailing, video streaming, Multimedia messaging service etc. therefore GPRS can also be said that it is 2.5 generation technology. GPRS came after the development of the Global System for Mobile (GSM) service, which is classified as 2G technology, and it was succeeded by the development of the Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service (UMTS), which is classified as 3G technology.
2.5G Wireless The best technology now widely available Features includes:- Phone calls/fax- Voice mail-Send/receive large email messages- Web browsings- Navigation/maps- New updates Speed: 64-144kb/sec Time to download a 3min MP3 song:6-9min

Third generations:- • 3G is the third generation of mobile phone standards and • technology, superseding 2G, and preceding 4G. • To meet the growing demands in network capacity, rates required for high speed data transfer and multimedia applications, 3G standards started evolving. • It is based on the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) family of standards under the International Mobile Telecommunications programmer, IMT-2000. • 3G technologies enable network operators to offer users a wider range of more advanced services. • Services include wide-area wireless voice telephony, videocalls, and broadband wireless data, all in a mobile environment.

THE EXPECTED GROWTH OF 3G IN INDIA India is seeing an unprecedented increase in the mobile users. According of one of the latest TRAI reports released in November 2008, the total number of mobile users in India has reached 325 million. In October 2008 alone, 10.42 million new subscribers added. These figures are bound to shoot up with the launch of 3G network.
SERVICE PROVIDERS OF 3G IN INDIA Some of the major mobile players in India are BSNL mobile, Airtel mobile, Reliance mobile and Tata mobile. At one time Aircel mobile was leading the market; however, it has now lost the market share to BSNL mobile, Airtel mobile and other leading mobile players.

Nokia N85 Rs.22,0005. Blackberry Bold Rs 349906. Blackberry Storm Rs 27990 (Only available bundled with Vodafone connection)7. LG Secret Rs. 220008. INQ 1 (Price not available)9. Sony Ericsson C905 Rs.31,00010. Samsung Omnia Rs.31,200
3G in India by mid 2009 but with spectrum curbs With the Government issuing guidelines for 3G, high speed mobile downloads and live television on mobile will finally become a reality by middle of 2009. But customers in Delhi or Mumbai may not have much to look forward to. Due to spectrum constraints, there are merely three Global System for Mobile (GSM) operators that can offer 3G services. With one slot already reserved for MTNL and the other two open for global bids, customers in Delhi and Mumbai may end up missing the 3G bus if they don’t switch operators.
