3G is the 3rd Generation wireless technology. It comes
with enhancment over previous wireless technology,
like high-speed transmission, advanced multimedia
access and global roaming. 3G is commonly used
with mobile phones and handsets as a means to
connect the phone to Internet or other networks in
order to make voice and video calls, to download and
upload data and to surf the net.
3G allows simultaneous use of speech and data
services and higher data rates up to 14.0 Mbps.
The Third Generation, as the name suggest, follows
two erlier generations. i.e., 1G and 2G
 The First Generation began in the early 80’s with
commerical deplyment of Advanced Mobile Phone
System (AMPS) cellular networks.

 Early AMPS Networks used Frequency Division

Multiple Access (FDMA) to carry analog voice over
channels in the 800Mhz frequency band.
 The Second Generation emerged in the 90’s when
mobile operators deployed two digital voice
standards.

 In North America some operators uses CDMA in

800 Mhz band

 Across the world many operators adopted GSM

standard, which used TDMA in 900 and 1800 Mhz
bands.
 The first commercial 3G network was launched by
NTT DoCoMo in Japan on 1 October 2001

 In 2008, India entered into 3G Mobile arena with

the launch of 3G enabled Mobile services by
Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL). MTNL
is the first Mobile operator in India to launch 3G
services.
There are many features of 3G technology such as
Higher Data Speed, Enhanced Audio and Video
streaming, Video conferencing Support, Web
browsing at higher speed, IPTV support. Etc.

But the most important features of 3G are :

It is the one of the most important feature of 3G
The Transfer Data Rate of 3G is very high as compare
to 2G system i.e., GPRS and EDGE.

 The transfer rate for 3G networks is between 128

& 144 kbps for device that are moving fast and
384 kbps for slow ones.
 For fixed wireless LAN’s the speed goes beyond
2Mbps.
Another Important feature of 3G is increased Security

3G networks offer a greater degree of security than

2G predecessors, by allowing the UE to authenticate
the network it is attaching to, the user can be sure
the network is the intended one and not an
impersonator.
3G networks use the KASUMI block crypto instead of
the older A5/1 stream cipher.
Some of the applications are :

 Mobile TV - a provider redirects a TV channel

directly to the subscriber's phone where it can be
watched.

 Video on demand - a provider sends a movie to the

subscriber's phone.

 Video conferencing - subscribers can see as well as

talk to each other.
 (cont.)

 Tele-medicine - a medical provider monitors or

provides advice to the potentially isolated subscriber.

 Location-based services - a provider sends localized

weather or traffic conditions to the phone, or the
phone allows the subscriber to find nearby
businesses or friends.
The first major step in the evolution to 3G occurred
with the introduction of General Packet Radio Service
(GPRS). So the cellular services combined with GPRS
became '2.5G.'
GPRS could provide data rates from 56 kbit/s up to
114 kbit/s. It can be used for services such as
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) access,
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), and for
Internet communication services such as email and
World Wide Web access.
4G refers to the fourth generation of cellular wireless
standards. It is a successor to 3G and 2G standards,
with the aim to provide a wide range of data rates up
to ultra-broadband (gigabit-speed) Internet access to
mobile as well as stationary users.
A 4G cellular system must have target peak data rates
of up to approximately 100 Mbit/s for high mobility
such as mobile access and up to approximately
1 Gbit/s for low mobility such as nomadic/local
wireless access.
 The First thing you require is a device
(eg. A mobile phone) that is 3G compatible.

 You need to subscribed to a service provider to get

3G network connectivity. We often called this kind of
service a data plan or network plan.

 Your device is connected to the 3G network

through it’s SIM card or a data card which are both
generally provided by the service provider.
