I. INTRODUCTION
Mobile communication has become a major source for information exchange throughout the world. Year
by year, we see lot of development in the world of mobile technology. All the mobile technologies which
have been developed up to now have really improved our way of living. It has always been our aim to
empower world community with top class internet capabilities, thereby designing a future-proof
groundwork for new ideas as well as opportunities to build on, so as to start the revolution of
communication. Wireless Technology helps in transferring information over a distance without the use of
wires. The distance can be short or it can be of thousands of kilometers. A new subscriber signs up after
every 2.5 seconds .With the increasing demands in the field of mobile and data communications, the sole
aim is to connect users as fast as possible. Mobile communication deals with talking, text or sending data as
well as image files through a wireless network, which is a technology in which the information is
transmitted as well as received using microwaves. We have been continuously looking at the growing
mobile technology which is driving mobile devices at a very fast speed. Gadgets supporting mobility have
become very powerful and useful as well as very handy by being small in size. We see different uses of these
devices everywhere, thereby making lives of all of us very easy and interesting also. Throughout the world,
mobile devices availability is expanding rapidly with different features and technologies which are making
our lives really better than before. It is only through this mode of communication that we are in touch with
people we need to reach, it can be either work related or for some personal reasons. We are capable of
sending important files anywhere in the world within a very short time thereby addressing business needs.
Also we can get on spot approval for vital decisions, so as to enrich our lives. It is making communication
possible for those who live in remote parts of the world. Loved ones living very far from each other have
become close, no matter in which part of the world they live. Actually mobile communication has brought
the world together, which is really an amazing situation. We saw as early as 1940s, the invention of mobile
phones when some engineers working at AT&T came with the development of cells for base stations of
mobile phones. Mobile devices have come up with different faces, if we go into the history of mobile phones;
we see that the first device was not an actual phone. They were actually two way radios, allowing users such
as taxi drivers to communicate. Rather than using base stations with separate cells with signal passing
between cells, the very first mobile phone network was based on a powerful base station allowing
communication in a much wider area.

II. HISTORY OF MOBILE GENERATIONS

History was created in April 1972 with first call made on a mobile phone. “G” refers to generation, related
to next generation wireless technologies. Mobile phones started out coming in the market with Motorola
introducing the first mobile phone on 3 April 1973. Generation of these phones were known as 0G mobile
phones in which different technologies were used like push to talk, mobile telephone system, improved
mobile telephone system etc. Martin Cooper, an employee of Motorola Company is considered as key
player as he developed the first mobile phone. Before him, handsets were used in vehicles, but he came with
the development of first truly portable mobile phone. We have gone through a very big change in the
generation of mobile communication. Each of the generation is making us faster, secure as well as more
reliable as compared to previous ones. It is hard to overcome this reliability factor. We see smart phones as
our companions today and we are dependent on these devices in large number of ways. Below we start with
the generation 1G of mobile world, moving towards all the latest development that has been done up to
7.5G connectivity. In this paper the birth of different generations of mobile wireless technology with their
advantages and significance are presented. In past few years, mobile wireless communication has
experienced different generations of technology mainly from 0G to 4G. A snapshot of future technologies
such as 5G, 6G and 7G has also been shown providing immense scope for innovative research and
development. Wireless Technology helps in transferring information over a distance without the use of

III. VARIOUS GENERATIONS OF MOBILE

[1] ZERO GENERATION (0G – 0.5G)
Wireless telephone started with what you might call 0G if you remember back that far. In those pre-cell
days, you had a mobile operator to set up the calls and there were only a handful of channels available. 0G
refers to pre-cell phone mobile telephony technology, such as radio telephones that some had in cars before
the advent of cell phones. Mobile radio telephone systems preceded were the predecessors of the first
generation of cellular telephones; these systems are called 0G (zero generation) 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.
These mobile telephones were usually mounted in cars or trucks, though briefcase models were also
made.
[2] FIRST GENERATION (1G)
The first generation of cellular systems used analog radio technology. Analog cellular systems consist of
three basic elements: a mobile telephone (mobile radio), cell sites, and a mobile switching center (MSC). A
mobile telephone communicates by radio signals to the cell site within a radio coverage area. The cell site s
base station (BS) converts these radio signals for transfer to the MSC via wired (landline) or wireless
(microwave) communications links. The MSC routes the call to another mobile telephone in the system or
the appropriate landline facility. These three elements are integrated to form a ubiquitous coverage radio
system that can connect to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). It support speed up to 2.4kbps.
Major contributors were AMPS (Advance mobile phone system) was first launched by the US, NMT, and
TACS.
[3] SECOND GENERATION (2G)
It is based on GSM or in other words global system for mobile communication. It was launched in Finland
in the year 1991. It was the first digital cellular networks, which had a number of obvious benefits over the
analog networks they were supplanting: improved sound quality, better security, etc. [1]. 2G technologies
have replaced the analogy technology by digital communication by providing services such as text message,
picture message and MMS. All text messages are digitally encrypted in 2G technology. This digital
encryption allows for the transfer of data in such a way that only the intended receiver can receive and
read it. There are 3 different types (FDMA, TDMA/GSM, and CDMA) of 2G mobile technologies are
designed with different working methods, properties and specifications.
[4] THIRD GENERATION (3G)
The third generation of mobile systems provides high speed data transmissions of 144kbps and higher. It
comes with enhancements over previous wireless technologies, like high-speed transmission, advanced
multimedia access and global roaming. 3G is mostly used with mobile phones and handsets as a means to
connect the phone to the Internet or other IP networks in order to make voice and video calls, to download
and upload data and to surf the net. 3G will support multimedia applications such as full-motion video,
video conferencing and Internet access. The data are sent through the technology called Packet Switching
Voice calls are interpreted through Circuit Switching. It is a highly sophisticated form of communication
that has come up in the last decade.
[5] FOURTH GENERATION (4G)
The Fourth Generation of mobile communication upgrade existing communication networks and is
expected to provide a comprehensive and secure IP based solution where facilities such as voice, data and
streamed multimedia will be provided to users on an "Anytime, Anywhere" basis and at much higher data
rates compared to previous generations.
[6] FIFTH GENERATION (5G)
In 5G, researches are related to the development of World Wide Wireless Web (WWWW), Dynamic
adhoc Wireless Networks (DAWN) and Real Wireless Communication. The most important
technologies for 5G technologies are 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) and 802.16
Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (WMAN), Ad-hoc Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) and
Wireless networks for digital Communication. Some features of 5G Technology are given below:

 5G is a completed wireless communication with almost no limitation; somehow people called it

REAL wireless world
 Additional features such as Multimedia Newspapers, also to watch T.V programs with the clarity
as to that of an HD T.V.
 We can send Data much faster than that of the previous generations.
 5G will bring almost perfect real world wireless or called “WWWW: World Wide Wireless Web
 Wearable devices with AI capabilities.
[7] SIXTH GENERATION (6G)
Sixth Generation technologies use a combination of the latest in radio and fiber optics technology. We
deliver through via line of sight which means we don’t have to rely on the copper cable or base. The 6G
mobile system for the global coverage will integrate 5G wireless mobile system and satellite network. The
telecommunication satellite is used for voice, data, internet, and video broadcasting; the earth imaging
satellite networks is for weather and environmental information collection; and the navigational satellite
network is for global positional system (GPS). It is assumed that 6G will proffer the speed of 1GB
datatransfer. 6G mobile communication networks can integrate satellite communication networks and 5G
to make global coverage. The four different countries which developed these satellite systems are; the GPS
by USA, the COMPASS system developed by China, the Galileo system developed by EU and the
GLONASS system by Russia. Handoff and roaming will be the big issues in 6G because these satellites
ystems are different networks. 6G has four different standards namely Pico cell, Micro cell, Macro cell,
satellite cell. So the handoff and roaming must take place between these four networks but how it will occur
is still to be to be answered.
[8] SEVENTH GENERATION (7G)
These mobile networks are like the 6G for global coverage but it will also define the satellite functions for
mobile communication. In satellite system, the telecommunication satellite will be for voice and multimedia
communication; navigational satellite will be for global positional system (GPS) and earth image satellite
for some extra information like weather update. The 6G mobile wireless networks will support local voice
coverage and other services. The 7G will be the most advance generation in mobile communication but
there will be some research on demanding issues like the use of mobile phone during moving condition
from one country to another country, because satellite is also moving in constant speed and in specific orbit,
the standards and protocols for cellular to satellite system and for satellite to satellite communication
system. The dream of 7G can only be true when all standards and protocols are defined. The major factor
here will be cost of phone call and other services. It provides seamless movement of mobile phone from one
country to the other. This will be major benefits for frequent international travelers.
[9] FUTURE GENERATION [7.5G]
It provides the very high speed of peak download and peak upload of data rate. Here space time block
codes are used to view the high definition of video broadcasting. Within a second we can download the five
films that are 20 GB files and upload the 15 GB files or any datum. Therefore it also navigates the satellite
networks techniques, hence using the OFDM methodology and FEC for the speed of communication
process. It is possible technique only when achieve the higher bandwidth and improves the satellite cell
sensitivity with its signal fidelity. The benefits of 7.5 G can easily communicate to the other even they are in
the centre of the sea.
IV. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
5G Technology is a name used in various research papers and projects to indicate the next most
important stage of mobile communication standards beyond the 4G standards presently, 5G is not a
term officially used for any particular specifications. 3GPP standard release beyond 4G and LTE.
The implementation of standards under a 5G umbrella would likely be around the year of 2020. Key
terms of 5G Technology:

1. 5G is a completed wireless communication with almost no limitation; somehow people called it

real wireless world
2. Additional features such as Multimedia Newspapers, also to watch T.V programs with the clarity
as to that of an HD TV.

3. We can send Data much faster than that of the previous generations.
4. 5G will bring almost perfect real world wireless or called “WWWW: World Wide Wireless Web
5. Real wireless world with no more limitation to access and zone issues.
6. Wearable devices with AI capabilities.
7. Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6), where a visiting care-of mobile IP address is assigned according
to location and the connected network.
8. One unified global standard.
9. 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 a 2.5G, 3G, 4G or 5G mobile networks, Wi-Fi, PAN or any other
future access technology. In 5G, the concept may be further developed into multiple concurrent
data transfer paths.
V. CONCLUSIONS
