• Convergence enables people to create, share and consume digital content

• Cellular phones evolve from traditional cost-optimized handhelds to multifunctional terminals

• Cellular phones: key platform for mobile convergence applications (web browsing, video streaming, etc.)

Digital ConvergenceDigital Convergence

• Extremely complex embedded system

• Functional blocks are custom-made for mobility

• Chips are either proprietary designs or based on available chips.

• sophisticated and better functionality

• Cellular phones have come a long way from analog communication devices to digital mobile computers.

• Today, a cellular phone is a paradigm of an embedded system having highly optimized cost, size, efficiency and performance.

• Challenges in RF circuits, implementation architecture, memory, and power consumption are still affecting the development and growth of mobile devices.

• New technologies such as decentralized architectures, reconfigurable circuits, advanced memories, and low power designs will help overcome challenges.

ConclusionsConclusions

Why is it called Cellular?

•An antenna tower handles calls from a short distance from it (Base Station)

•More antenna towers means more users can talk on cell phones▫Lower power the cell phone emits▫Repeat the frequencies used

•The antennas form small cells of coverage around the city

Cell Phone Identity Systems•Every cell phone has 2 unique

identifications•MIN – Mobile Identification Number

▫A 10 digit telephone number▫309-555-1212

•ESN – Electronic Serial Number▫32 bit binary number▫Built into the cell phone
