...PTC’07 Proceedings 4G MOBILE NETWORKS – TECHNOLOGY BEYOND 2.5G AND 3G Jun-seok Hwang*, Roy R. Consulta** & Hyun-young Yoon*** Seoul National University Republic of Korea ABSTRACT Based on the study, 4G mobile technology is in a determining and standardization stage. Although 4G wireless technology offers higher data rates and the ability to roam across multiple heterogeneous wireless networks, several issues require further research and development. Since 4G is still in the cloud of the sensible standards creation, ITU and IEEE form several task forces to work on the possible completion for the 4G mobile standards as well. 3GPP LTE is an evolution standard from UMTS, and WiMAX is another candidate from IEEE. These technologies have different characteristics and try to meet 4G characteristics to become a leading technology in the future market. Under these circumstances, this paper will present about the current trends and its underlying technologies to implement the 4G mobile technology. This paper also shows some of the possible scenarios that will benefit the 4th generation technology. KEYWORDS 4G Mobile Technologies, 3GPP Long Term Evolution, WiMAX, WiBro, Software Defined Radio, Open Architecture 1. INTRODUCTION In a world of fast changing technology, there is a rising requirement for people to communicate and get connected with each other and have appropriate and timely access to information regardless of the location of the each individuals or the information.

...Migrating to LTE Macquarie University Contents Abstract 2 Faculty of Science ITEC850 Network Management Assignment #2: B3G or 4G Networks (Group Project) Due: 24th May 2012 Written by: Barry Ho & Willis Kwok Lecturer: Mr Milton Baar Introduction Aims and Goals Challenges Horizontal Handover Vertical Handover QoS Techniques Advantages/Disadvantages Conclusions & Future Work References Appendix A Appendix B 2 3 4 4 7 8 10 11 12 13 14 Appendix C 15 Abstract There have been tremendous growths in the use of mobile technologies in recent years. In the early days, only the rich and keen early adopters were able to own mobile phones, which were large in size, required a substantial source of power to operate and were limited in functionality and quite restrictive in terms of mobility. Today, over 5.6 billion subscribed devices are in active use, which represent approximately 80% of the world population and are rising. (Gartner) Improved reception power coupled with increased network coverage and penetration, global roaming capability, sharp quality, fitto-palm size with large screen and lightweight are the significants of today’s user terminals. Given such advances, the growth within the large increases of cellular use has been on mobile data. In 2011, the total mobile data service revenues were close to $315 billion (Gartner). LTE is a serious improvement in network architecture to handle this surge in demand and is embraced by all providers. This paper first describes...

...someone’s updates is it considered human interaction? This author thinks it is not. SMARTPHONE AND NETWORK TECHNOLOGY The first mobile phone call was made in 1973. Martin Cooper, a Motorola engineer called his competitor at AT&T. Although, it took some time after that first mobile call; almost every person has a Smartphone today. Martin Coopers dream has become a reality in that everyone has a mobile phone in their pocket or on their hip. As with the evolution of the mobile phone into a Smartphone so to the network speeds of those systems have evolved. When Martin Cooper made that first mobile call forty-one years ago there were no mobile networks per se. The first network was an analog first generation (1G) that provided speeds of about 14.4K...

...young lady to please hold while I was trying to figure out who she was with. Fast forward twelve years later and we have gone through several mergers and acquisitions and we currently have over 200,000 employees around the world. For many years AT&T has been ahead of their competitors. The innovation of their products and services assisted them in increasing their market share within the industry. Over the last couple of years, the competition has introduced several products and services that have challenged AT&T’s market share. And as we look towards the future we willingly accept that there is always room for improvement. Problem Statement We are focused on being the number one carrier in the United States and as we expand our 4g network we have discovered an issue in our quality measurements. We do not have an automated way to handle fall-out. Our current process is manual and tedious. We have a project manager that is manually handling fifty orders a day. She is downloading a report, emailing and setting up calls with the appropriated organizations to quickly resolve and expedite an order. This process is not scalable or sustainable long term. We have to incorporate an automated IT solution that will...

...Section 1. Product Information Ipad Mini 1. A. What is the history of your Product? What year was the product first introduced? The Ipad is a line of tablets made by Apple Inc. On January 27, 2010, Steve Jobs took the stage at an Apple special event to give what was one of the most important keynotes of his life and, once again, in the history of consumer electronics. The Mac had been introduced decades before, the iPhone only a few years, yet on that stage, at that event, Jobs would make the case that there was room for a new category of device in between the two. A new category of device that, in order to exist, had to be not only better at certain key tasks, but significantly better at them. It had to be the iPad. IPad is the most advanced technology and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price. IPad creates and defines an entirely new category of devices that will connect users with their apps and content in a much more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before. The iPad project began at Apple even before the iPhone, but at some point the phone became a more important goal for 2007. The iPad was put on the shelf, and the iPhone shipped, changing the phone industry forever. By 2010, however, Apple was ready to launch their new tablet. Importantly, the iPad included Apple's first branded processor, the Apple A4. It combined an 800MHz ARM Cortex A8 and a Power SGX535 graphics processor, along with a rather anemic 256MB of RAM. The original iPad...

...North South University Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science ETE 521 Assignment # 3 Name: MD. Rakibul Islam Monshy ID: 1131048556 a) No Ans: Define ILEC: An incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) is a local telephone company in the United States that was in existence at the time of the breakup of AT&T into the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs), also known as the "Baby Bells." The ILEC is the former Bell System or Independent Telephone Company responsible for providing local telephone exchange services in a specified geographic area. GTE was the second largest ILEC after the Bells, but it has since been absorbed into Verizon, a RBOC. ILECs compete with competitive local exchange carriers (CLEC). When referring to the technical communities ILEC is often used just to mean a telephone provider. In Canada, the term ILEC refers to the original telephone companies such as Telus (BC Tel and AGT), SaskTel, Manitoba Telephone Systems (MTS Allstream), Bell Canada Enterprises and Aliant. ILEC, with respect to an area in the United States, is a local exchange carrier (LEC) that: On the date of enactment of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, provided telephone exchange service in such area and on such date of enactment, was deemed to be a member of the exchange carrier association pursuant to the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R) Title 47, section 69.601(b).Or is a person or...
