1.1 Brief Introduction

3G is the third generation of cellular network technology, representing a significant advancement over 2G, particularly in

terms of data transfer speeds and mobile internet capabilities. While 2G networks, including technologies 3G is the third

generation of cellular network technology, representing a significant advancement over 2G, particularly in terms of data

transfer speeds and mobile internet capabilities. While 2G networks, including technologies such as GPRS and EDGE,

supported limited data services, 3G introduced significantly higher-speed mobile internet, improved voice quality, and

enhanced multimedia capabilities. Although 3G enabled faster data speeds compared to 2G, it provided moderate internet

speeds suitable for general browsing and multimedia content, but not for high-definition or data-intensive applications.

1.2 Aims/Benefits of the Micro-Project

• Learn about 3G Technology.

• Study applications and evolution of 3G.

• Comparison 3G with 4G and 5G.

• Learn features of 3G mobile phones.

 Micro-Project Report

2.1 Introduction

Third generation mobile phones, or “3G Internet” mobile phones, is a set of standards for wireless mobile communication

systems, that promises to deliver quality multimedia services along with high quality voice transmission. 3G refers to the

third generation of cellular technology that enables mobile telephony. The third-generation standard follows two earlier

generations that were deployed on mobile networks and across mobile phones.

2.2 Literature Review:

2.2.1 Evolution:

2.2.2 Architecture of 3G (UMTS):

The UMTS network architecture is more complex than its 2G counterpart, incorporating various functional entities for voice and
data service management. The key components of the UMTS network are as follows:

1. User Equipment (UE): The mobile device used by the subscriber, including handsets and data cards, is referred to as
the UE. It interfaces with the UMTS network to access voice, video, and data services.
2. Radio Access Network (RAN): The UMTS RAN, also known as UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN),
consists of Node B (base stations) and Radio Network Controllers (RNC). The RNC manages the radio resources and
handover functions.
3. Core Network (CN): The CN is responsible for managing user sessions, mobility, and call control. It consists of
Circuit-Switched Core (CS Core) and Packet-Switched Core (PS Core). CS core handles voice and video call services. PS
core manages data services such as internet browsing and multimedia messaging.
4. HLR and VLR : These databases store subscriber information and enable location tracking and authentication.
5. GPRS Support Nodes (GSN): GSNs, such as the Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) and Serving GPRS Support
Node (SGSN), facilitate packet data transfer and routing.

2.2.3 Areas of Application:

• Mobile networks. The 3G standard is most commonly used within mobile networks and their radio access

technology platforms.

• Mobile phones/smartphones. The most common 3G devices are mobile phones for basic voice and text

connectivity, as well as smartphones that provide more capabilities to users for data transfer and access. 3G-

enabled smartphones helped drive development and adoption of mobile internet sites.

• Computer modems. 3G Universal Serial Bus (USB) modems for computer laptops enable cellular
connectivity for devices that don't have access to Wi-Fi or a wired network connection.

• Telematics. 3G is widely deployed to enable telematics applications for the automotive industry, enabling

vehicles to share information for transportation and fleet management use cases.
2.2.4 How 3G Works:

3G technology leverages several key methodologies like Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division

Multiple Access (TDMA), and Wideband CDMA (WCDMA) to transmit voice and data over mobile networks. These

technologies enable the simultaneous transmission of multiple data streams by allocating unique codes to each

communication.

WCDMA, a prevalent 3G standard, enhances data capacity and speed, making it possible for users to enjoy video calls,

mobile internet access, and multimedia messaging. By efficiently managing spectrum usage, 3G enables higher data

rates and improved call quality compared to its predecessors IN 3G.

2.2.5 Differences between 3G, 4G and 5G:

There are a number of key differences across the 3G, 4G and 5G standards. The most basic and primary difference is

that each successive generation offers the promise of an increased peak speed. However, speed isn't the only

differentiator as access technology also changes in each platform, requiring mobile phone network providers and

mobile phone users to upgrade devices and radio access technology.

• 3G provides a peak speed of up to 14 Mbps and works at frequencies up to 2.1 gigahertz (GHz).

• 4G has a peak speed of up to 100 Mbps and works at frequencies up to 2.5 GHz. 4G technology includes multiple

input, multiple output (MIMO) and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technologies to increase
speed and capacity over 3G.

• 5G has a theoretical peak speed of 20 Gbps and works at frequencies of up to 95 GHz. 5G also offers the promise

of reduced power consumption over its predecessor, which will enable more use cases, including embedded
deployment for internet of things (IoT) devices.
2.2.6 Advantages of 3G:

• New radio spectrum to relieve overcrowding in existing systems.

• More bandwidth, security, and reliability.

• Interoperability between service providers.

• Fixed and variable data rates.

• Asymmetric data rates.

• Backward compatibility of devices with existing networks.

2.2.7 Disadvantages of 3G:

• The cost of upgrading base stations and cellular infrastructure to 3G is very high.

• Requires different handsets and there is the issue of handset availability. Base stations need to be

closer to each other (more cost).

• Tremendous spectrum-license costs, network deployment costs, handset subsidies to subscribers,

etc.
2.3 Aims/Benefits of the Micro-Project

• Uncover evolution of 3G Technology.

• Learn about Advantages and Disadvantages of 3G Technology.

• Foster a comprehensive understanding of 3G.
