Abstract:
Mobile communication is continuously one of
the hottest areas that are developing at a
booming speed, with advanced techniques
emerging in all the fields of mobile and
wireless communications. With this rapid
development it is expected that fourth
generation mobile systems will be launched
within decades.
• Different generations have
developing since then each generation
coming out overcoming previous
generation drawbacks
• OFDM based technique looks more
promising as a 4G standard surpassing
the 3G standards
• Signals are multiplexed using OFDM and
transmitted using MIMO technology
• Different multiple access techniques like
TDMA, FDMA, CDMA, SDMA are the
various fields that are being explored to
improve the utility of 4G systems.
4G mobile systems focus on seamlessly
integrating the existing wireless
technologies. This contrasts with 3G, which
merely focuses on developing new standards
and hardware. 4G systems will support
comprehensive and personalized services,
providing stable system performance and
been quality service.
"4G" doesn't just define a standard; it
describes an environment where radio access
methods will be able to interoperate to
provide communications sessions that can
seamlessly "hand-off" between them. More
than any other technology, 4G will have a
profound impact on the entire wireless

In this architecture, a user accesses an
overlay network consisting of several
universal access points. These UAPs in turn
select a wireless network based on
availability, QoS(Quality of Service)

UAP performs protocol and frequency
