INTRODUCTION
5G Technology stands for 5th Generation Mobile technology. 5G mobile technology has
changed the means to use cell phones within very high bandwidth. User never experienced ever
before such a high value technology. Nowadays mobile users have much awareness of the cell
phone (mobile) technology. The 5G technologies include all type of advanced features which
makes 5G mobile technology most powerful and in huge demand in near future.
With 5G pushed over a VOIP-enabled device, people will experience a level of call volume and
data transmission never experienced before.5G technology is offering the services in Product
Engineering, Documentation, supporting electronic transactions (e-Payments, e-transactions) etc.
As the customer becomes more and more aware of the mobile phone technology, he or she will
look for a decent package all together, including all the advanced features a cellular phone can
have. Hence the search for new technology is always the main motive of the leading cell phone
giants to out innovate their competitors. Recently apple has produced shivers all around the
electronic world by launching its new handset, the I-phone. Features that are getting embedded in
such a small piece of electronics are huge.

CHAPTER 1
MOBILE RADIO TELEPHONE
Mobile radio telephone systems preceded modern cellular mobile telephony technology. Since
they were the predecessors of the first generation of cellular telephones, these systems are
sometimes retroactively referred to as pre cellular (or sometimes zero generation) systems.
Technologies used in pre cellular systems included the Push to Talk (PTT or manual), Mobile
Telephone System (MTS), Improved Mobile Telephone Service (IMTS), and Advanced Mobile
Telephone System (AMTS) systems. These early mobile telephone systems can be distinguished
from earlier closed radiotelephone systems in that they were available as a commercial service
that was part of the public switched telephone network, with their own telephone numbers, rather
than part of a closed network such as a police radio or taxi dispatch system.
1.1 Origin
Motorola in conjunction with the Bell System operated the first commercial mobile
telephone service Mobile Telephone System (MTS) in the US in 1946, as a service of the
wireline telephone company.
First automatic system was the Bell System's IMTS which became available in 1962,
offering automatic dialing to and from the mobile.
"Altai" mobile telephone system was launched into the experimental service in 1963 in
USSR, becoming fully operational in 1965, a first automatic mobile phone system in
Europe.
The Televerket opened its first manual mobile telephone system in Norway in 1966.
Norway was later the first country in Europe to get an automatic mobile telephone
system.
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 3
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
The B-Netz launched 1972 in West Germany as the country's second public commercial
mobile phone network (but the first one that did not require human operators to connect
calls)
1.2 Rural Radiotelephone Service
Using the same channel frequencies as IMTS, the US Federal Communications Commission
authorized Rural Radiotelephone Service for fixed stations. Because RF channels were shared
with IMTS, the service was licensed only in areas that were remote from large Bureau of the
Census Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). Systems used UHF 454 MHz or 152 MHz radio
channels to provide telephone service to extremely rural places where it would be too costly to
extend cable plant.
The conversation used to take place on half-duplex communication lines, using a momentary
button to switch from voice reception mode to transmit mode. Hence “Over” and “Out” were
used to indicate the transmission is complete from one end so that the other person can reply for
it. These devices were built in the year 1946 by Motorola and Bell System and these devices
used the Mobile Telephone Service to connect to the calls. It means an operator helps us to dial
and route the call. Now a days we install Music Systems in the car but in those days the whole
Phone-unit was installed in the car.

CHAPTER 2
1G WIRELESS SYSTEM
1G (or 1-G) refers to the first-generation of wireless telephone technology, mobile
telecommunications. These are the analog telecommunications standards that were introduced in
the 1980s and continued until being replaced by 2G digital telecommunications. The main
difference between two succeeding mobile telephone systems, 1G and 2G, is that the radio
signals that 1G networks use are analog, while 2G networks are digital.
Although both systems use digital signaling to connect the radio towers (which listen to the
handsets) to the rest of the telephone system, the voice itself during a call is encoded to digital
signals in 2G whereas 1G is only modulated to higher frequency, typically 150 MHz and up.
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 5
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
One such standard is NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephone), used in Nordic countries, Switzerland,
Netherlands, Eastern Europe and Russia. Others include AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone
System) used in the North America and Australia, TACS (Total Access Communications
System) in the United Kingdom, C-450 in West Germany, Portugal and South Africa, Radiocom
2000 in France, and RTMI in Italy. In Japan there were multiple systems. Three standards, TZ-
801, TZ-802, and TZ-803 were developed by NTT, while a competing system operated by DDI
used the JTACS (Japan Total Access Communications System) standard.
1G speeds vary between that of a 28k modem(28kbit/s) and 56k modem(56kbit/s), meaning
actual download speeds of 2.9KBytes/s to 5.6KBytes/s.
2.1 AMPS
1G cellular systems rely on analog frequency modulation for speech and data transmission and
in-band signaling to move control information between terminals and the rest of the network
during the call. Advanced Mobile Phone System is a good example of first-generation analog
technology mostly used in the United States. AMPS is based on FM radio transmission using the
FDMA principle where every user is assigned their own frequency to separate user channels
within the assigned spectrum. FDMA is based on narrowband channels, each capable of
supporting one phone circuit that is assigned to a particular user for the duration of the call.
Frequency assignment is controlled by the system, and transmission is usually continuous in both
uplink and downlink directions. The spectrum in such systems is allocated to the user for the
duration of the call, whether it is being used to send voice, data, or nothing at all.
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 6
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
As with other 1G technologies, in AMPS a circuit—represented by a portion of spectrum—is
allocated to the user and must remain available for this user, similar to the telephone copper pair
used for voice communications. Similar to the analog wireline connection, a modem is also used
for data access (see Chapter 4 for more on this). Error correction protocols used by wireless
modems tend to be more robust than their landline counterparts, because of the necessity of
dealing with a more challenging physical environment with inherently higher interference and
signal-to-noise ratios than copper or fiber. The peak data rate for an AMPS modem call under
good conditions is usually up to 14.4 Kbps, and as low as 4.8 Kbps under poor conditions. It can
take anywhere up 20 seconds or more to establish an AMPS data connection.
2.3 Nordic Mobile Telephone and Total Access Communication System
Nordic Mobile Telephone system was originally introduced in 1981 in four northern European
countries—Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden— in the 450-MHz frequency band, which
was available at that time. Total Access Communication System (TACS) was deployed three
years later in the United Kingdom and later spread to other European countries such as Italy.
Both systems are based on analog FDMA radio access technology, as you would expect from a
typical 1G system.
Initially, NMT was optimized for use in the sparsely populated rural environment common for
Scandinavian countries. A 450-MHz frequency allowed for installation of large cells because of
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 7
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
better propagation characteristics at higher frequencies. As business and environmental
conditions changed, NMT was modified to operate in the 800-MHz range, taking into account
the size and power of handsets. In contrast, TACS was designed for capacity rather than
coverage. TACS systems operate in 800- and 900-MHz frequencies, which require a larger
numbers of cell sites but allow for smaller and less powerful transmitters. This system proved to
be very efficient and economical for countries such as the UK, with high population density and
large numbers of urban areas.
Both NMT and TACS are still in use, but their customer base is eroding fast because of the
widespread availability of more advanced and cost-effective GSM services
CHAPTER 3
2G WIRELESS SYSTEM
2G (or 2-G) is short for second-generation wireless telephone technology. Second generation 2G
cellular telecom networks were commercially launched on the GSM standard in Finland by
Radiolinja (now part of Elisa Oyj) in 1991. Three primary benefits of 2G networks over their
predecessors were that phone conversations were digitally encrypted; 2G systems were
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 8
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
significantly more efficient on the spectrum allowing for far greater mobile phone penetration
levels; and 2G introduced data services for mobile, starting with SMS text messages.
After 2G was launched, the previous mobile telephone systems were retrospectively dubbed 1G.
While radio signals on 1G networks are analog, radio signals on 2G networks are digital. Both
systems use digital signaling to connect the radio towers (which listen to the handsets) to the rest
of the telephone system.
2G has been superseded by newer technologies such as 2.5G, 2.75G, 3G, and 4G; however, 2G
networks are still used in many parts of the world. Major geographical regions adopted different
2G systems, namely TDMA and CDMA in North America, GSM in Europe, and Personal
Digital Cellular (PDC) in Japan.
3.1 2G Technologies
2G technologies can be divided into TDMA-based and CDMA-based standards depending on the
type of multiplexing used. The main 2G standards are:
GSM (TDMA-based), originally from Europe but used in almost all countries on all six
inhabited continents. Today accounts for over 80% of all subscribers around the world.
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 9
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
Over 60 GSM operators are also using CDMA2000 in the 450 MHz frequency band
(CDMA450).[2]
IS-95 aka cdmaOne (CDMA-based, commonly referred as simply CDMA in the US),
used in the Americas and parts of Asia. Today accounts for about 17% of all subscribers
globally. Over a dozen CDMA operators have migrated to GSM including operators in
Mexico, India, Australia and South Korea.
PDC (TDMA-based), used exclusively in Japan
iDEN (TDMA-based), proprietary network used by Nextel in the United States and Telus
Mobility in Canada
IS-136 a.k.a. D-AMPS (TDMA-based, commonly referred as simply 'TDMA' in the US),
was once prevalent in the Americas but most have migrated to GSM.
3.2 North American TDMA (IS 136)
This second-generation system, widely deployed in the United States, Canada, and South
America, goes by many names, including North American TDMA, IS-136, and D-AMPS
(Digital AMPS). For the sake of clarity, we will refer to it as North American TDMA, as well as
simply TDMA, when the context makes it clear. TDMA has been used in North America since
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 10
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
1992 and was the first digital technology to be commercially deployed there. As its name
indicates, it is based on Time Division Multiple Access. In TDMA the resources are shared in
time, combined with frequency-division multiplexing (that is, when multiple frequencies are
used). As a result, TDMA offers multiple digital channels using different time slots on a shared
frequency carrier. Each mobile station is assigned both a specific frequency and a time slot
during which it can communicate with the base station.
The TDMA transmitter is active during the assigned time slot and inactive during other time
slots, which allows for power-saving terminal designs, among other advantages. North American
TDMA supports three time slots, at 30 kHz each, further divided into three or six channels to
maximize air interface utilization. A sequence of time-division multiplexed time slots in TDMA
makes up frames, which are 40 ms long. The TDMA traffic channel total bit rate is 48.6 Kbps.
Control overhead and number of users per channel, which is greater than one, decrease the
effective throughput of a channel available for user traffic to 13 Kbps. TDMA is a dual-band
technology, which means it can be deployed in 800-MHz and 1900-MHz frequency bands. In
regions where both AMPS and TDMA are deployed, TDMA phones are often designed to
operate in dual mode, analog and digital, in order to offer customers the ability to utilize
coverage of the existing analog infrastructure.
3.3 Advantages
The lower power emissions helped address health concerns.
Going all-digital allowed for the introduction of digital data services, such as SMS and
email.
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 11
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
Greatly reduced fraud. With analog systems it was possible to have two or more "cloned"
handsets that had the same phone number.
Enhanced privacy. A key digital advantage not often mentioned is that digital cellular
calls are much harder to eavesdrop on by use of radio scanners. While the security
algorithms used have proved not to be as secure as initially advertised, 2G phones are
immensely more private than 1G phones, which have no protection against
eavesdropping.
3.4 Disadvantages
In less populous areas, the weaker digital signal may not be sufficient to reach a cell
tower. This tends to be a particular problem on 2G systems deployed on higher
frequencies, but is mostly not a problem on 2G systems deployed on lower frequencies.
National regulations differ greatly among countries which dictate where 2G can be
deployed.
Analog has a smooth decay curve, digital a jagged steppy one. This can be both an
advantage and a disadvantage. Under good conditions, digital will sound better. Under
slightly worse conditions, analog will experience static, while digital has occasional
dropouts. As conditions worsen, though, digital will start to completely fail, by dropping
calls or being unintelligible, while analog slowly gets worse, generally holding a call
longer and allowing at least a few words to get through.
While digital calls tend to be free of static and background noise, the lossy compression
used by the codecs takes a toll; the range of sound that they convey is reduced. You will
hear less of the tonality of someone's voice talking on a digital cellphone, but you will
hear it more clearly.
CHAPTER 4
3G WIRELESS SYSTEM
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 12
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
3G or 3rd generation mobile telecommunications is a generation of standards for mobile phones
and mobile telecommunication services fulfilling the International Mobile Telecommunications-
2000 (IMT-2000) specifications by the International Telecommunication Union.
Services advertised as 3G are required to meet IMT-2000 technical standards, including
standards for reliability and speed (data transfer rates). To meet the IMT-2000 standards, a
system is required to provide peak data rates of at least 200 kbit/s (about 0.2 Mbit/s). However,
many services advertised as 3G provide higher speed than the minimum technical requirements
for a 3G service. Recent 3G releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G, also provide mobile
broadband access of several Mbit/s to smartphones and mobile modems in laptop computers.
The following standards are typically branded 3G:
The UMTS system, first offered in 2001, standardized by 3GPP was used primarily in
Europe, Japan, China and other regions. The cell phones are typically UMTS and GSM
hybrids. Several radio interfaces are offered, sharing the same infrastructure:
o The original and most widespread radio interface is called W-CDMA.
o The TD-SCDMA radio interface was commercialised in 2009 and is only offered
in China.
o The latest UMTS release, HSPA+, can provide peak data rates up to 56 Mbit/s in
the downlink in theory (28 Mbit/s in existing services) and 22 Mbit/s in the
uplink.
The CDMA2000 system, first offered in 2002, standardized by 3GPP2, used especially in
North America and South Korea, sharing infrastructure with the IS-95 2G standard. The
cell phones are typically CDMA2000 and IS-95 hybrids. The latest release EVDO Rev B
offers peak rates of 14.7 Mbit/s downstream.
4.1 History
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 13
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
The first pre-commercial 3G network was launched by NTT DoCoMo in Japan in 1998 branded
as FOMA. It was first available in May 2001 as a pre-release (test) of W-CDMA technology.
The first commercial launch of 3G was also by NTT DoCoMo in Japan on 1 October 2001,
although it was initially somewhat limited in scope; broader availability of the system was
delayed by apparent concerns over its reliability.
The first European pre-commercial network was an UMTS network on the Isle of Man by Manx
Telecom, the operator then owned by British Telecom, and the first commercial network (also
UMTS based W-CDMA) in Europe was opened for business by Telenor in December 2001 with
no commercial handsets and thus no paying customers.
4.2 Features
4.2.1 Data Rates
ITU has not provided a clear definition of the data rate users can expect from 3G equipment or
providers. Thus users sold 3G service may not be able to point to a standard and say that the rates
it specifies are not being met. While stating in commentary that "it is expected that IMT-2000
will provide higher transmission rates: a minimum data rate of 2 Mbit/s for stationary or walking
users, and 384 kbit/s in a moving vehicle,"the ITU does not actually clearly specify minimum or
average rates or what modes of the interfaces qualify as 3G, so various rates are sold as 3G
intended to meet customers expectations of broadband data.
4.2.2 Security
3G networks offer greater security than their 2G predecessors. By allowing the UE (User
Equipment) 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 cipher instead of the
older A5/1 stream cipher. However, a number of serious weaknesses in the KASUMI cipher
have been identified.
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 14
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
In addition to the 3G network infrastructure security, end-to-end security is offered when
application frameworks such as IMS are accessed, although this is not strictly a 3G property.
4.3 Applications

CHAPTER 5
4G WIRELESS SYSTEM
In telecommunications, 4G is the fourth generation of cellular mobile communications standards.
It is a successor of the third generation (3G) standards. A 4G system provides mobile ultra-
broadband Internet access, for example to laptops with USB wireless modems, to smartphones,
and to other mobile devices. Conceivable applications include amended mobile web access, IP
telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video conferencing and 3D television.
Two 4G candidate systems are commercially deployed: The Mobile WiMAX standard (at first in
South Korea in 2006), and the first-release Long term evolution (LTE) standard (in Scandinavia
since 2009). It has however been debated if these first-release versions should be considered as
4G or not. See technical definition. In the U.S. Sprint Nextel has deployed Mobile WiMAX
networks since 2008, and MetroPCS was the first operator to offer LTE service in 2010. USB
wireless modems have been available since the start, while WiMAX smartphones have been
available since 2010, and LTE smartphones since 2011, still only based on the Google Android
operating system. Equipment made for different continents are not always compatible, because
of different frequency bands. Mobile WiMAX and LTE smartphones are currently (March 2012)
not available for the European market.

Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
5.1 Key Features
The following key features can be observed in all suggested 4G technologies:
Physical layer transmission techniques are as follows:
o MIMO: To attain ultra high spectral efficiency by means of spatial processing
including multi-antenna and multi-user MIMO
o Frequency-domain-equalization, for example multi-carrier modulation (OFDM)
in the downlink or single-carrier frequency-domain-equalization (SC-FDE) in the
uplink: To exploit the frequency selective channel property without complex
equalization
o Frequency-domain statistical multiplexing, for example (OFDMA) or (single-
carrier FDMA) (SC-FDMA, a.k.a. linearly precoded OFDMA, LP-OFDMA) in
the uplink: Variable bit rate by assigning different sub-channels to different users
based on the channel conditions
o Turbo principle error-correcting codes: To minimize the required SNR at the
reception side
Channel-dependent scheduling: To use the time-varying channel
Link adaptation: Adaptive modulation and error-correcting codes
Mobile-IP utilized for mobility

IP-based femtocells (home nodes connected to fixed Internet broadband infrastructure)
As opposed to earlier generations, 4G systems does not support circuit switched telephony. Most
4G standards lack soft-handover support, also known as cooperative relaying.
5.2 History
In 2002, the strategic vision for 4G—which ITU designated as IMT-Advanced—was laid
out.
In mid-2006, Sprint Nextel announced that it would invest about US$5 billion in a
WiMAX technology buildout over the next few years ($5.76 billion in real terms).
In February 2007, the Japanese company NTT DoCoMo tested a 4G communication
system prototype with 4x4 MIMO called VSF-OFCDM at 100 Mbit/s while moving, and
1 Gbit/s while stationary.
In January 2008, a U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) spectrum auction
for the 700 MHz former analog TV frequencies began. As a result, the biggest share of
the spectrum went to Verizon Wireless and the next biggest to AT&T.
In April 2008, just after receiving the circular letter, the 3GPP organized a workshop on
IMT-Advanced where it was decided that LTE Advanced, an evolution of current LTE
standard, will meet or even exceed IMT-Advanced requirements following the ITU-R
agenda.
On 12 November 2008, HTC announced the first WiMAX-enabled mobile phone, the
Max 4G
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 18
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
In December 2008, San Miguel Corporation, southeast Asia's largest food and beverage
conglomerate, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Qatar Telecom QSC
(Qtel) to build wireless broadband and mobile communications projects in the
Philippines. The joint-venture formed wi-tribe Philippines, which offers 4G in the
country. Around the same time Globe Telecom rolled out the first WiMAX service in the
Philippines.
On 3 March 2009, Lithuania's LRTC announcing the first operational "4G" mobile
WiMAX network in Baltic states.[41]
In December 2009, Sprint began advertising "4G" service in selected cities in the United
States, despite average download speeds of only 3–6 Mbit/s with peak speeds of
10 Mbit/s.
On 14 December 2009, the first commercial LTE deployment was in the Scandinavian
capitals Stockholm and Oslo by the Swedish-Finnish network operator TeliaSonera and
its Norwegian brandname NetCom (Norway).
On 4 June 2010, Sprint Nextel released the first WiMAX smartphone in the US, the HTC
Evo 4G.
On 28 April 2011, Lithuania's Omnitel opened LTE "4G" network working in 5 biggest
cities.
In 2011, Thailand's Truemove-H launch 4G HSPA+ network with nation-wide
availability.
On 31 January 2012, Thailand's AIS and its subsidiaries DPC under co-operative with
CAT Telecom for 1800 MHz frequency band and TOT for 2300 MHz frequency band
launch the first field trial LTE in Thailand by authorization from NBTC.
In February 2012, Ericsson demonstrated mobile-TV over LTE, utilizing the new
eMBMS service (enhanced Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service).

5.3 Limitations of 4G
There are clearly significant technical challenges that must be overcome in order to move beyond
4G systems. The key questions include:
• Develop resource allocation methods that support desired services, achieve fairness objectives,
and that provide incentives for independent wireless networks of all sizes to cooperate.
• Establish optimization techniques to manage the tradeoffs between power, degree and
frequency of reconfiguration, device computation capabilities, channel depth, and spectrum
efficiency.
• Identify and develop an appropriate device platform in terms of power consumption,
programming model and scalability.
• Identify and develop an overall system architecture that is flexible yet sufficiently scalable to
support both carrier centric and Internet economic models.

CHAPTER 6
5G WIRELESS SYSTEM
5G (5th generation mobile networks or 5th generation wireless systems) is a name used in some
research papers and projects to denote the next major phase of mobile telecommunications
standards beyond the 4G/IMT-Advanced standards effective since 2011. At present, 5G is not a
term officially used for any particular specification or in any official document yet made public
by telecommunication companies or standardization bodies such as 3GPP, WiMAX Forum, or
ITU-R. New standard releases beyond 4G are in progress by standardization bodies, but are at
this time not considered as new mobile generations but under the 4G umbrella.
6.1 Speculation
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 21
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
Were a 5G family of standards to be implemented, it would likely be around the year 2020,
according to some sources. A new mobile generation has appeared every 10th year since the first
1G system (NMT) was introduced in 1981, including the 2G (GSM) system that started to roll
out in 1992, 3G (W-CDMA/FOMA), which appeared in 2001, and "real" 4G standards fulfilling
the IMT-Advanced requirements, that were ratified in 2011 and products expected in 2012-2013.
Predecessor technologies have occurred on the market a few years before the new mobile
generation, for example the pre-3G systemCdmaOne/IS95 in 1995, and the pre-4G systems
Mobile WiMAX and LTE in 2005 and 2009 respectively.
The development of the 2G (GSM) and 3G (IMT-2000 and UMTS) standards took about 10
years from the official start of the R&D projects, and development of 4G systems started in 2001
or 2002. However, still no transnational 5G development projects have officially been launched,
and industry representatives have expressed scepticism towards 5G.
6.2 Beam Division Multiple Access
The goal of mobile communication systems is to provide improved and flexible services to a
larger number of mobile users at lower costs. This objective results in a big challenge for the
wireless technology that is increasing system capacity and quality within the limited available
frequency spectrum. The challenge in mobile communication system is to communicate using
limited frequency and time. In order to achieve this target multiple access technique is required.
There are Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access
(TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple
Access (OFDMA) techniques, etc. as examples of typical multiple access technology developed
up to now.
FDMA - The FDMA technique divides frequency resource and allots them to respective mobile
stations, allowing to give multiple accesses.
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 22
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
TDMA - The TDMA technique divides time resource, and allots respective mobile stations to
give multiple accesses.
CDMA - The CDMA technique allots orthogonal codes to respective mobile stations, which
allows the mobile stations to give multiple access
OFDMA - The OFDMA technique divides and allots an orthogonal frequency resource to
maximize resource utility efficiency.
In the mobile communication system, limited frequency and time are divided to be used among
multiple users, and a capacity of the mobile communication system is limited depending on
given frequency and time. It is expected that a capacity required in a mobile communication
system will increase as the number of mobile stations increase in future and an amount of data
required in respective mobile stations is increased. However, since frequency/time resources
which respective systems can use are limited, there is a demand for a technical development,
which uses other resources than frequency/time resources in order to increase a capacity of the
system.
6.2.1 Concept of BDMA
When a base station communicates with mobile stations, an orthogonal beam is allocated to each
mobile station. The BDMA technique of the present invention divides an antenna beam
according to locations of the mobile stations to allow the mobile stations to give multiple
Shri Ramswaroop Memorial Group Of Professional Colleges Page 23
Seminar Report 5G(Extension to 4G)
accesses, thereby significantly increasing the capacity of the system. Mobile stations and a base
station are in an LOS (Line of Sight) state, when they exactly know each other's positions; they
can transmit beams which direct to each other's position to communicate without interfering with
mobile stations at cell edge.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a beam division multiple access system and a
method thereof for a mobile communication system as a new space division method using a
phase array antenna. Which use beam forming technology and uses multiple beam forming
pattern simultaneously in a cell, allowing to give multiple access.
6.2.2 Operation of BDMA
When mobile stations are positioned at different angles with respect to a base station, the
base station transmits beams at different angles to simultaneously transmit data to
multiple mobile stations.
One mobile station does not use one beam exclusively, but mobile stations positioned at a
similar angle share one beam to communicate with the base station.
The mobile stations sharing the same beam divide same frequency/time resources and use
orthogonal resources.
A base station can change direction, the number, and widths of the beams adaptively and
easily according to a mobile communication environment.
The beams can be three-dimensionally divided; a spatial reuse of frequency/time
resources can be maximized.

In initial communication step, because a base station and mobile stations do not know
each other's positions, the mobile stations detect their positions and moving speeds, and
omnidirectionally transmit the detected positions and moving speeds information thereof
to the base station.
Next, the base station calculates a direction and a width of a downlink beam based on the
position and moving speed information of the mobile station received from the mobile
station
Subsequently, the base station transmits the downlink beam to the mobile station with the
calculated direction and width.
When the mobile station receives the calculated direction and width of the downlink
beam, it tracks a direction of the downlink beam to set a direction of an uplink beam, and
transmits the uplink beam in the set direction.
After the mobile station sets the uplink beam, a beam update is periodically performed
between the mobile station and the base station.
The FDD-BDMA frame is almost the same as that of the TDD-BDMA. The difference is
that the initial mobile station information slot is allocated by dividing a frequency
resource, and not by dividing a time resource. A further difference is that there is a base
station broadcast in the FDD-BDMA instead of a preamble of the TDD-BDMA.

The mobile communication system may maximize spatial use of frequency/time
resources and a system capacity of a base station by the number of beams in the base
station, by efficiently dividing a space resource as well as frequency/time resources, and
allotting orthogonal beams to mobile stations so that the mobile stations can give multiple
accesses.
It may solve an inter-cell interference problem to solve performance deterioration
problems of users at cell edge occurring in a cellular system.
Radiation pattern of an antenna of the base station and radiation pattern of an antenna of
the mobile station are designed to match each other; radiation efficiency of the antennas
can be maximized.
In addition, since mobile stations existing at a similar position share one beam to
communicate, a lower MCS level problem or PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)
problems of a control channel occurring because mobile stations having good channels
and mobile stations having bad channels simultaneously use the same base station, can be
solved.
The BDMA is applicable to a design of cellular wireless communication systems for the
next generation mobile communication. Korean research and development has suggested
BDMA as a radio interface for 5G.

6.3 Future Scope of 5G
Key concepts suggested in scientific papers discussing 5G and beyond 4G wireless
communications are:
Pervasive networks providing ubiquitous computing: The user can simultaneously be
connected to several wireless access technologies and seamlessly move between them
(See Media independent handover or vertical handover, IEEE 802.21, also expected to be
provided by future 4G releases. These access technologies can be 2.5G, 3G, 4G, or 5G
mobile networks, Wi-Fi, WPAN, or any other future access technology. In 5G, the
concept may be further developed into multiple concurrent data transfer paths.
Group cooperative relay: A major issue in beyond 4G systems is to make the high bit
rates available in a larger portion of the cell, especially to users in an exposed position in
between several base stations. In current research, this issue is addressed by cellular
repeaters and macro-diversity techniques, also known as group cooperative relay, as well
as by beam division multiple access.
Cognitive radio technology, also known as smart-radio: allowing different radio
technologies to share the same spectrum efficiently by adaptively finding unused
spectrum and adapting the transmission scheme to the requirements of the technologies
currently sharing the spectrum. This dynamic radio resource management is achieved in a
distributed fashion, and relies on software-defined radio.
Dynamic Adhoc Wireless Networks (DAWN), essentially identical to Mobile ad hoc
network (MANET), Wireless mesh network (WMN) or wireless grids, combined with
smart antennas and flexible modulation.
Vandermonde-subspace frequency division multiplexing (VFDM): a modulation scheme
to allow the co-existence of macro-cells and cognitive radio small-cells in a two-tiered
LTE/4G network.
IPv6, where a visiting care-of mobile IP address is assigned according to location and
connected network.
High-altitude stratospheric platform station (HAPS) systems.

Wearable devices with Artificial Intelligence capabilities.
One unified global standard.
Real wireless world with no more limitation with access and zone issues.
User centric (or cell phone developer initiated) network concept instead of operator-
initiated (as in 1G) or system developer initiated (as in 2G, 3G and 4G) standards
World wide wireless web (WWWW), i.e. comprehensive wireless-based web applications
that include full multimedia capability beyond 4G speeds.
Massive Dense Networks also known as Massive Distributed MIMO providing green
flexible small cells 5G Green Dense Small Cells.
