MAGIC of 4G Technology

So far there has been no specific definition to this successor of 2G and 3G. However it
has been used often to denote a fast internet access available to mobile phone users. More
over the distinguishing feature of high multimedia streaming and end to end IP
configuration is judged to be its MAGIC enchantment.3G utilized WiMax and WiFi as
separate wireless technologies, whereas 4G is expected to coalesce these two
technologies. Hence one can evaluate how efficient it would become when combining
two extremely reliable technologies. 4G can greatly anticipate in evolving and advancing
the pervasive computing. The aim of pervasive computing is to attach itself to every
living space possible, so that human beings remain intact with the wireless technology
intentionally and unintentionally. Therefore 4G is be able to connect various high speed
networks together, which would enable each one of us to carry digital devices even in
dispersed locations. The network operators worldwide would be able to deploy wireless
mesh networks and make use of cognitive radio technology for widespread coverage and
access.

4G Technologies

4G is a multi purpose and versatile technology hence it can utilize almost all of the packet
switched technologies. It can use both orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
(OFDM) and orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA). OFDM
mechanism splits a digital signal into different narrowband and frequencies. The reason
why 4G makes use of this technology lies in its ability to minimize the intervention
among symbols and channels associated to data streaming.4G is also capable of using
multiple input / multiple output technology (MIMO).this antenna technology is used to
optimize the data speed and reduce the errors in the networks. Universal Mobile
Telecommunication Service (UMTS) which is basically a broadband 3G technology is
also a part of 4G. This broadband technology transfers data in the form of frames or
packets. Hence it is capable of carrying voice, video, text and other types of multimedia
datagram with the speed of 2Mb. UMTS is part of 4G because it can enables 4G to make
use of international mobile phone roaming via using GSM (Global system for Mobile
Communications).another wireless telecommunication technology known as time
division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) provides support to
4G to transfer both circuit switched data like video and voice and packet switched data.

4G’s New Horizon of Opportunities


The telecommunication companies like NTT Docomo from Japan and Sprint Nextel were
also deploying 4G wireless technologies from the early 2006 along with 3G mobile
technologies. The flexibility of 4G technologies to be used in combination with GSM and
CDMA has provided it an edge over other technologies. The reason is that the high
broadband capability of 4G not only increases data streaming for stationary users but also
for mobile users.4G can be efficiently combined with cellular technologies to make
consistent use of smart phones. The digital cameras attached in smart phones can be used
to establish video blogs in scattered geographical regions. This gives the manufactures
the opportunity to produce more affordable user friendly 4G compatible devices. Famous
iPod is one such device that supports the working of video blogs. Hence 4G is capable of
providing new horizon of opportunity for both existing and startup telephone companies.

4G (Fourth Generation) Network

4G is the next generation is the next step into wireless and cellular technologies. This
technology can be also associated with high speed and remote connectivity any where in
the world. This technology is still under the phase of development, but it hopes to
overcome the limitations of its bequests. The overall mission of researchers and network
developers is to make secure and high speed data connection. With its flexible channel
bandwidth it can replace 3G and 2G technologies entirely. This technology would be
blessing for digital portable gadgets freaks because this technology would provide high
speed connectivity with less signal attenuation.

Specifics of 4G

4G technologies are geared towards flawless network coverage. This technology is aimed
to provide high quality of service to end users without dropping signals. The major
problem with the wireless technologies is their signal attenuation. International
telecommunication union, which is monitoring the international standards for wireless
communication is demanding considerable improvement in multi media services over the
cellular network. They require improvement in multimedia message services and video
streaming in order to support 4G. This network technology is expected to provide
100megabits per second for mobile users, while 1GBps for fixed users. This network is
also forecasted to provide interrelated roaming throughout the world. It is also predictable
that this technology would be attuned to all types of wireless devices like wireless
adapters, express cards and many more. The infrastructure of 4G will follow all the
standards of previous generations.

IPv6 Requirement

4G network is based on IPv6 support rather than IPv4. it is IPv6 which is supports
network devices. Increased number of IP addresses also removes the need for NAT
(network Address translation). NAT is a term referred to sharing minimum IP addresses
with larger number of devices. Besides this improvement Nat would also has to
communicate with the other devices on the previous IPv4 devices. 4G has also brought
improvements in network infrastructure. For example 3G used both circuit switched and
packet switched network nodes, while 4g is merely based on packet switching, hence
lowering the latency of data. The basic 4G standards include LTE advanced and
802.16m.

Objectives of 4G:

This wonder technology is expected to cover the data rate deficiency in previous
generations. It is also aimed to achieve quality of services. This technology would
provide many multimedia services. These multimedia services would not only include
voice chat and video calls but also includes MMS, HDTV, video chat, and voice over the
internet. This network would allow interactive roaming with existing LAN and digital
broadcasting systems. This network's goal is to provide 100MBps data rate for moving
customers and 1GB for stationary users.. So that the users can enjoy uninterrupted
connectivity with high speed anywhere they go. Very smooth handover over
heterogeneous networks. Flawless connectivity and international roaming across
innumerable networks of the world is its next target. It should also provide Very high
quality multimedia support in order to get approval from ITU. The interoperability with
existing network infrastructure is another prominent feature of this technology. It is an all
IP switched network and several working groups propose that it should offer an open
internet protocol. The early 4G technology comprise of flash OFDM, 802.16e, wireless or
mobile WiMax and HC SDMA. The demand of the wireless network users combined
with the efforts of the 4G working groups would give technology and edge over its
previous counterparts. This technology would revolutionize the world of cellular
networks with amazing wireless broadband speed. This technology would also provide
job opportunities for many. The further development for supporting 4G network is
dependent upon the approval from ITU.
