INTRODUCTION:
4G stands for the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. It is a successor
to 3G and 2G families of standards. Speed requirements for 4G service set the peak download
speed at 100 Mbit/s for high mobility communication (such as from trains and cars) and 1 Gbit/s
for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users).

A 4G system is expected to provide a comprehensive and secure all-IP based mobile


broadband solution to smart phones, laptop computer wireless modems and other mobile
devices. Facilities such as ultra-broadband Internet access, IP telephony, gaming services, and
streamed multimedia may be provided to users.

Pre-4G technologies such as mobile WiMAX and first-release 3G Long term evolution (LTE)


have been on the market since 2006 and 2009 respectively, and are often branded as 4G. The
current versions of these technologies did not fulfil the original ITU-R requirements of data rates
approximately up to 1 Gbit/s for 4G systems. Marketing materials use 4G as a description for
Mobile-WiMAX and LTE in their current forms.

IMT-Advanced compliant versions of the above two standards are under development and called
“LTE Advanced” and “Wireless MAN-Advanced” respectively. ITU has decided that “LTE
Advanced” and “Wireless MAN-Advanced” should be accorded the official designation of IMT-
Advanced. On December 6, 2010, ITU announced that current versions of LTE, WiMAX and
other evolved 3G technologies that do not fulfil "IMT-Advanced" requirements could be
considered "4G", provided they represent forerunners to IMT-Advanced and "a substantial level
of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation
systems now deployed." 

In all suggestions for 4G, the CDMA spread spectrum radio technology used in 3G systems


and IS-95 is abandoned and replaced by OFDMA and other frequency-domain
equalization schemes. This is combined with MIMO (Multiple in Multiple Out), e.g., multiple
antennas, dynamic channel allocation and channel-dependent scheduling.

NEW ABOUT THIS PROJECT

In a fourth-generation wireless system, cellular providers have the opportunity to offer data
access to a wide variety of devices. The cellular network would become a data network on which
cellular phones could operate — as well as any other data device. Sending data over the cell
phone network is a lucrative business. In the information age, access to data is the “killer app”
that drives the market. The most telling example is growth of the Internet over the last 10 years.
Wireless networks provide a unique twist to this product: mobility. This concept is already
beginning a revolution in wireless networking, with instant access to the Internet from anywhere.
A major issue in 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 macro-diversity techniques, also known as group cooperative relay,
and also by beam-division multiple accesses.

Pervasive networks are an amorphous and at present entirely hypothetical concept where the user
can be simultaneously connected to several wireless access technologies and can seamlessly
move between them (See vertical handoff, IEEE 802.21). These access technologies can be Wi-
Fi, UMTS, EDGE, or any other future access technology. Included in this concept is also smart-
radio (also known as cognitive radio technology) to efficiently manage spectrum use and
transmission power as well as the use of mesh routing protocols to create a pervasive network.
The 4G Vision is a living document which intends to update and amend as time and knowledge
progress. It will act as the umbrella vision to a large research programme and place in context the
detailed research work that will take place in the various areas. In this respect it will help to
continuously steer the research as progresses and, therefore, to make it more relevant and
beneficial.
