Presented By:-DEEPAK GUPTA 0911HDSSD104

Introduction
3G refers to the collection of third generation cellular technologies that are designed to allow mobile cellular operators to offer integrated data and voice services over cellular networks.

WIFI refers to the 802.11b wireless Ethernet standard that was designed to support wireless LANs . Two technology reflect fundamentally The Goal of Discussion of these Two technology

3G Technology

 1G provided only analog voice services . AMPS - Advanced Mobile Phone Service Digitization of control signals and voice signal were developed during the second generation which is 2G.

PREDECESSORS

3G
3G is a Technology for Mobile service providers

3G use licensed spectrum to provide mobile telephone coverage Each Mobile base Station support users up to several kms Wireless Mobile Services has been Telephony 3G is the third generation of wireless technologies. 3G is mostly used with mobile phones and handsets.

 Implementation
The first pre-commercial 3G network was launched by NTT DoCoMo in Japan branded FOMA, in May of 2001 on a pre-release of W-CDMA technology. The first commercial launch of 3G was also by NTT DoCoMo in Japan on October 1, 2001. The second network of 3G was launched by SK Telecom in South Korea on the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO technology.

Evolution of 3G
Cellular mobile telecommunications networks are being upgraded to use 3G technologies from 1999 to 2010. Japan was the first country to introduce 3G nationally, and in Japan the transition to 3G was largely completed in 2006. Korea then adopted 3G Networks and the transition was made as early as 2004.

USE OF 3G

 Higher call volumes and support for multimedia data applications, such as video and photography. Faster data transfer rates Free or cheap calls worldwide Worthwhile for users that need connectivity on the move

BENEFITS OF 3G

WiFi
WiFi is the popular name for the wireless Ethernet 802.11b standard for WLANS.

WiFi LANS operate using unlicensed spectrum 2.4GHZ band. Each base station can support connections only over a range of a hundred meters.

Wi-Fi Introduction

It stand for wireless fidelity. Wi-Fi is defined as freedom, it allows us to connect to the internet from our desk at home, in a hotel room or a conference room at work without wires.

WI-FI ARCHITECTURE
There are two different ways to configure a network: 1.)Ad-hoc network-Computers are brought

together to form a network.

WI-FI ARCHITECTURE (Cont.)

2.)Infrastructure network-This architecture uses fixed network access points with which mobile nodes can communicate.

Components for Wi-Fi

Stations: A station (STA) is a network node that is equipped with a wireless network device. Access point: It is a wireless LAN transceiver or base station that can connect one or many wireless devices simultaneously to the Internet. Ports: A port is a channel of a device that can support a single point-to-point connection.

Wireless Technologies

Wi-Fi Networks use Radio Technologies to transmit & receive data at high speed: IEEE 802.11b IEEE 802.11a IEEE 802.11g

IEEE 802.11b

Appear in late 1999. Operates at 2.4GHz radio spectrum. 11 Mbps (theoretical speed) - within 30 m Range. 4-6 Mbps (actual speed) 100 -150 feet range. Most popular, Least Expensive.

IEEE 802.11a

Introduced in 2001. Operates at 5 GHz (less popular). 54 Mbps (theoretical speed). 15-20 Mbps (Actual speed). 50-75 feet range. More expensive.

IEEE 802.11g

Introduced in 2003. 2.4 GHz radio frequencies. 54 Mbps Speed. 100-150 feet range. Combine the feature of both standards (a,b).

Wi-Fi Topology

Point-to-point Point-to-multipoint Mesh Smart Antenna Arrays

Wi-Fi Topology (Cont.)

Point-to-point Usually very high speed and high capacity. Requires a clear line of sight to tower. Corporate/Business Class service.

Wi-Fi Topology (Cont.)

Point-to-multipoint Similar technology to point-to-point network.

Wi-Fi Topology (Cont.)

Mesh Network Distributed gateway devices Self healing network Relatively easy to form.

Wi-Fi Topology (Cont.)

Smart Antenna Arrays High powered & directional. Better obstruction penetration. Good for covering large open, or semi-open environments. Coverage from high points usually works best.

Wi-Fi Security

Authentication - assurance that a packet comes from where it claims. Confidentiality - protection from disclosure to unauthorized persons. Access control - keeping unauthorized users out. Integrity - ensuring that data is error-free.

Advantages of Wi-Fi

Its flexible. Ease of Installation. Its fast. Its cost-effective. Wi-fi is the future.

Disadvantages of Wi-Fi

Password and Security. Signal Strength Sensitivity. Effect of Climatic Conditions. Limited range.

 Commercial WiFi C.W. services are available in places such as Internet cafes, Coffee houses and Airports around the world.

Free WiFi

Many Groups, Communities, Cities, Municipalities have set up free WiFi networks. Many Smaller Countries and Municipalities provide Free WiFi hotspots and residential WiFi internet access to everyone . Many Universities provide free WiFi internet access. McDonalds corporation offers WiFi access branded McInternet

How are WiFi and 3G same?

Both are wireless Both are access Technology Both offer broadband data service

How are They Different?

3G is more developed than WiFi as a business and service model. WiFi is more developed with respect to the upstream supplier markets. A WiFi network can address the problem of congestion associated with users on the same WiFi network. Mobile Technology use licensed spectrum, while WiFi uses unlicensed shared spectrum. Licensed spectrum is expensive. Unlicensed spectrum used by WiFi imposes strict power limits on users.

 Conclusions
This article offers a qualitative comparison of two wireless technologies that could be viewed as simultaneously as substitute and/or complementary paths for involving to broadband wireless access. The two technologies are 3G, which is the preferred path for mobile providers, and WiFi , one of the many WLAN technologies
