  1. Cellular Phones as Embedded Systems by Niam Amarnani

  2. Introduction • Cellular phones are largely being used today.The cellular phones consists of a transmitter and receiver.it consist of microprocessor,Rom,Ram,. • The LCD display and keyboard is also available

  3. Outline • Introduction • Today’sCellularPhone • ArchitectureforWireless Access • Memory, OS, and PowerChallenges • Conclusions

  4. Digital Convergence • Convergence enables people to create, share and consume digital content • Cellular phones evolve from traditional cost-optimized handhelds to multifunctional terminals • Cellular phones: key platform for mobile convergence applications (web browsing, video streaming, etc.)

  5. Today’s Cellular Phone • Extremely complex embedded system • Functional blocks are custom-made for mobility • Chips are either proprietary designs or based on available chips. • sophisticated and better functionality

  6. Example: Blackberry Bold

  7. Example: Blackberry Bold

  8. Conclusions • Cellular phones have come a long way from analog communication devices to digital mobile computers. • Today, a cellular phone is a paradigm of an embedded system having highly optimized cost, size, efficiency and performance. • Challenges in RF circuits, implementation architecture, memory, and power consumption are still affecting the development and growth of mobile devices. • New technologies such as decentralized architectures, reconfigurable circuits, advanced memories, and low power designs will help overcome challenges.

  9. Why is it called Cellular? • An antenna tower handles calls from a short distance from it (Base Station) • More antenna towers means more users can talk on cell phones • Lower power the cell phone emits • Repeat the frequencies used • The antennas form small cells of coverage around the city

  10. Cell Phone Identity Systems • Every cell phone has 2 unique identifications • MIN – Mobile Identification Number • A 10 digit telephone number • 309-555-1212 • ESN – Electronic Serial Number • 32 bit binary number • Built into the cell phone
