Cellular phone service, circuit switched, TIA/EIA IS-95 networks Cellular phone service, some packet switched features, ie EDGE networks see belwo Cellular phone services provide the ability to simultaneously transfer both voice data (a telephone call) and non-voice data (such as downloading information at high speed Third Generation Partnership Project, coordinates 3G activity, GSM http://www.3gpp.org Third Generation Partnership Project, coordinates 3G activity, CDMA2000 http://www.3gpp2.org Cellular Network, Code division multiple access (CDMA), Started in the US and is gaining on GMS because of technical merits. It is a form of multiplexing and a method of multiple access that divides up a radio channel not by time (as in time division multiple access), nor by frequency (as in frequency-division multiple access), but instead by using different pseudorandom code sequences for each user. 3G cellular netwok, evolution of CDMA networks, See CDMA2000 Development Group www.cdg.org http://www.cdg.org Cellular network - Global System for Mobile Communications, Large worldwide foot print, 3G Celluilar Network - evolution of GSM networks to a CDMA based technology 3G CDMA network, speed down/up 153Kbps/153Kbps peak, 60-100Kbps/60-100Kbps average, 1xRTT" (1 times Radio Transmission Technology) is used to identify the version of CDMA2000 radio technology that operates in a pair of 1.25-MHz radio channels (one times 1.25 MHz, as opposed to three times 1.25 MHz in 3xRTT). 1xRTT almost doubles voice capacity over IS-95 networks. Although capable of higher data rates, most deployments have limited the peak data rate to 144 kbit/s. While 1xRTT officially qualifies as 3G technology, 1xRTT is considered by some to be a 2.5G (or sometimes 2.75G) technology. http://www.cdg.org/technology/3g_1X.asp 3G CDMA Network, speeds down/up 2.4Mbps/153Kbps peak, 300-700Kbps/70-90Kbps average, Evolution-Data Optimized, abbreviated as EV-DO or EVDO and often DO or EV, is a wireless radio broadband data standard adopted by many CDMA mobile phone service providers in United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia, Russia, Brazil, and Australia. It is standardized by 3GPP2, as part of the CDMA2000 family of standards. http://www.cdg.org/technology/3g_1xEV-DO.asp#rel0 3G CDMA Network, speeds down/up 3.1Mbps/1.8Mbps peak, 450-800Kbps/300-400Kbps average, http://www.cdg.org/technology/3g_1xEV-DO.asp#revA 3G CDMA Network,speeds down/up 4.9Mbps/2.8Mps peak, 3xOption to 14.7Mbps, fast upload speeds http://www.cdg.org/technology/3g_1xEV-DO.asp#revB

Slide 3: GPRS
EDGE/ GPRS-E
2G GSM network, speeds up to 85.6Kbps, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a Mobile Data Service available to users of GSM and IS-136 mobile phones. GPRS data transfer is typically charged per megabyte of transferred data, while data communication via traditional circuit switching is billed per minute of connection time, independent of whether the user has actually transferred data or has been in an idle state. GPRS can be utilized for services such as WAP access, SMS and MMS, but also for Internet communication services such as email and web access. 2.5G GSM network, speeds up to 247 kbps, Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) or Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), is a digital mobile phone technology that allows to increase data transmission rate and improve data transmission reliability. It is generally classified as a 2.75G network technology. EDGE has been introduced into GSM networks around the world since 2003, initially in North America. EDGE Evolution, an upgrade to EDGE that permits 1 MBit/s peak speeds and latencies down to 100 ms, using the existing network infrastructure. EDGE Evolution is included in Release 7 of the 3GPP standard, and products are expected to arrive in 2008.[2]
UMTS
3G GSM network, speeds up to 384 kbps,Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is one of the third-generation (3G) mobile phone technologies. The currently most common form uses W-CDMA as the air interface and is standardized by the 3GPP, and 3G GSM network, speeds up to 1.8 Mbps., 400-700Kbps average, High Speed Downlink Packet Access Multiple Input Multiple Output, high performance antennas Diversity antennas, High performance, leverage reflections and multipath signals Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, high performance wireless modulation
