Emerging Wireless Technologies
A look into the future of wireless communications – beyond 3G
Forward: The Public Safety Wireless Network (PSWN) Program is conducting an ongoing assessment of advancements in the wireless communications industry. The scope of this assessment is to identify emerging wireless services and technologies for potential public safety use in the near future and beyond. This particular document is the first of a series of emerging wireless technologies studies. This study will concentrate primarily on the fourth generation of mobile telecommunications and beyond.
3G – i.e., an entirely packet switched network with all digital network elements and extremely high available bandwidth. For the most part, it is

It is anticipated that 4G speeds could be as high as 100 Mbps. Thus, 4G will represent another quantum leap in mobile Internet speeds and picture quality. Ericsson confirms that 4G could bring connection speeds of up to 50 times faster than 3G networks and could offer three-dimensional visual experiences for the first time. The following graph represents what has been the typical progression of wireless communications:
Quality of Service Challenges In wireless networks, Quality of Service (QOS) refers to the measure of the performance for a system reflecting its transmission quality and service availability (e.g., 4G is expected to have at least a reliability of 99.99%). Supporting QOS in 4G networks will be a major challenge. When considering QOS, the major hurdles to overcome in 4G include: varying rate channel characteristics, bandwidth allocations, fault tolerance levels, and handoff support among heterogeneous wireless networks. Fortunately, QOS support can occur at the packet, transaction, circuit, and network levels. QOS will be able to be tweaked at these different operating levels, making the network more flexible and possibly more tolerant to QOS issues. Varying rate channel characteristics refers to the fact that 4G applications will have varying bandwidth and transition rate requirements. In order to provide solid network access to support the anticipated 4G applications, the 4G networks must be designed with both flexibility and scalability. Varying
In terms of architecture, it has been very challenging to provide platform, and ability to render service with high availability from the providers of the first generation (1G) networks to 4G
4G networks offer 10 or more times the data transmission rate of a 3G network. The data rates available on a 4G network allow the cell phone to access information from the Internet as fast as a land-line connection.
Define wireless technologies and mobile technologies. Next, determine at least three (3) ways which companies or organizations utilize such technologies to improve business efficiency.
In an effort to improve security, the Public Safety Wireless Networks (PSWN) program in coordination with the Department of Justice took action to create the Public Safety Communications Security Awareness Guide and focus on solutions to security issues. Therefore, this paper will provide a summary of wireless communications issues and address issues as various agencies cooperate, coordinate, and use interoperable digital technologies to meet public safety requirements. I aim first to discuss communications system security, identify vulnerabilities and address how critical physical, network, communications, and administrative security components operate to protect against intrusions. The final section will include PSWN program, federal, state, and local agencies proposed solutions to improve security
The need for speed of a wireless network is always insatiable. The first standard that appeared fifteen years ago provided speeds of 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps to be used in office buildings where mobility was not a requirement [5].
3G users can download full music files, full movie files and other files at high speed.
5G is expected to provide wireless download speeds of above 1Gbps in local area network (LAN) and 500 Mbps in wide area network (WAN), about 260 times greater than the 3G wireless networks.
With the recent surge in wireless communications, the radio industry has seen an increase in the number of different communication standards each requiring its own specific hardware and processing. Our project addresses the need for radio interoperability with these various standards through the development of hardware generators for a software defined radio (SDR) system. These hardware generators will be created using Chisel, a hardware construction language. When given a set of parameters or constraints, the hardware generators will automatically output circuit designs for the given application thereby accelerating the hardware design process and introducing a new method for multi-standard support. Specifically, our team will focus on the development of generators for the system’s beamforming and MIMO blocks.
During this period cellular or mobile communications has begun to rapidly grow. The amount of time spent on network allocation, concentration, usage, and maintenance for these newer technologies were starting to become more complicated.
4G LTE picks up pace – Fourth Generation Long Term Evolution networks are coming of age. Although this kind of high bandwidth network is in its infancy in many parts of the world, UK’s mobile operator EE is testing a network channel to reach 300 Mbps. Vodafone, Telefonica in Germany and SK Telecom of South Korea are testing channels to reach a speed of 225Mbps. Airtel first the first mobile phone operator in India to come up with the 4G LTE network.
During the late 90’s the 802.11 network was released for wireless local area networks (WLAN’s). This wireless network allows users with wireless devices to
In the connection of WSNs, proficient resource use not only implies effective bandwidth usage, as well as a negligible use of energy. Subsequently, QoS support in WSNs ought to additionally incorporate QoS control mechanisms other than QoS assurance mechanism utilized in traditional networks, which can wipe out unnecessary energy utilization in information conveyance. Further, other than that amid network overload, the most vital traffic ought to still have its QoS necessities fulfilled in the vicinity of diverse sorts of network dynamics, which may emerge from node failure, wireless link failure, node mobility, and node state movement or transition. Taking into account these difficulties and our objectives, the accompanying is recognized as open examination issues in QoS support in WSNs.
