The document discusses the future of 4G network technology. It explains that 4G will provide ultra high broadband speeds measured in gigabytes per second, allowing users to download movies within 5 minutes or stream high-definition content to mobile devices. 4G will use technologies like OFDM and MIMO to achieve higher data transfer rates and signal quality compared to 3G. Several countries have already launched 4G networks commercially, with technologies like LTE and WiMax supporting 4G infrastructure and providing speeds up to 100 Mbps for downloads. India has begun the process of introducing 4G but may face delays similar to its 3G rollout unless it wants to catch up globally with 4G.

3. 4G, the successor of 3G, will soon
become the standard for cellular wireless
The technology is currently available in
some countries but it is still being
perfected
The aim is to achieve ultra broadband
speed to be counted in gigabytes per
second
4. ITU designed 4G in 2002 with the official
name 3G Long-Term Evolutions or 3.9G
4G will allow users to download a full-
length feature film within five minutes
4G will also be able to stream high-
definition television and radio to hand-held
devices
The basic difference between 3G and 4G
is in data transfer and signal quality
5. The highest download and upload speed in 3G
are 14 Mbps and 5.8 Mbps respectively.
In 4G the download speed is up to 100 Mbps
for moving users and 1 Gbps for stationary
users.
4G is adoption of packet switching instead of
circuit switching in voice and video calls.
With packet switching, resources are only
used when there is information to be sent
across the globe.
4G uses spiral multiplexing.
8. OFDM: To exploit the frequency selective
channel property.
MIMO: To attain ultra high spectral efficiency.

9. Single channel utilizes multiple sub-carriers on
adjacent frequencies.
Sub-carriers in an OFDM system are precisely
orthogonal to one another, thus they are able to
overlap without interfering.
It allows transfer of more data than other
forms of multiplexing (time, frequency, code,
etc).

12. Except for the Scandinavian countries, a
few countries have started the 4G
commercially.
In the US, Sprint Nextel initiated the
service last year.
Countries expected to launch 4G by this
year are Germany, Spain, China, Japan
and England.
13. There are three primary technologies that
support 4G WiMax, LTE, and UMB
The main doubt is whether to implement
WiMax or LTE
The advantages of LTE are:
(i) Faster speed with 100 Mbps for
download and 50 Mbps for upload.
(ii) It makes CDMA and GSM database
moot.
(iii) It offers both FDD and TDD duplexing
15. WiMax technology might not achieve the
required rate in a high-density area.
However, WiMax technology becomes
useful when it is bundled with IPTV.
The wireless bandwidth will be roughly
3Mbps/1.5Mbps; but this is nowhere near
the +100Mbps/50Mbps that LTE
promises.
17. India has already begun the process of
introducing 4G.
India is among the latecomers in 3G.
It is felt that by the time the implement 3G
fully, 4G technologies such as LTE will be
available commercially.
It has taken three years for the
government to decide on 3G-spectrum
auction policy.
4G could face the same delay unless
India wants to catch up with the rest of the
world.
