Features of 4G
Support interactive services Wider Bandwidth Higher Data transfer Rate Less Cost Global mobility All IP based Network (based on IPv6)
Features of 4G
Smarter Antennas Improved access technology (like OFDMA & MC CDMA) Some of standards-WiMax -WiBro -3GPP
Convergence of Technology
IP based Network
Networks
link used for transmission of data link available for transmission of data Other links
2^32 unique addresses available. 288 million addresses for private use. Limits packets to 64 KB of payload.
2^128 unique addresses. Packet header is simpler. provides multicast facility. Payload may be as large as 4GB.
FDMA
signals from multiple transmitters are transmitted simultaneously . Spacing is placed between sub carriers to avoid signal overlap.
OFDM
Sub-carriers are closely spaced. Very high rate data stream is divided into multiple parallel low rate data streams. High spectral efficiency. More resilient in noise environment. Used in DAB,DVB-T.
OFDMA
Sub-carriers are divided into group of sub-carrier, known as sub-channels. In the downlink, a subchannel may be intended for different receivers . In the uplink, a transmitter may be assigned one or more sub-channels.
OFDM Vs OFDMA
