Wireless Multimedia Delivery Over 3G Networks

Third generation wireless networks enable the delivery of multimedia content like video and audio streaming to mobile devices at data rates up to 2.4 Mbps. 3G uses CDMA technologies like W-CDMA and CDMA2000 to allow simultaneous voice and data transmission through a combination of circuit-switched and packet-switched networks, representing an upgrade from 2G networks. As 3G networks are implemented globally, it is driving demand for more advanced mobile handsets capable of utilizing these new multimedia capabilities.

Wireless Multimedia Delivery over 3G Networks

3G

third generation wireless services offers high data rate content delivery to mobile devices
cellphones

PDAs

enables multimedia applications such as:


live TV video/audio

streaming video conferencing web surfing

Cellular Technologies
all are different methods of sharing a radio channel all have concept of multiple access implies sharing available frequency range with multiple users

Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA)

frequency is divided between users each user is allocated a different carrier frequency of the radio spectrum

Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)

users share the same frequency by using alternating time slots

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)

data is broken into uniquely identified packets and transmitted over multiple frequencies uses unique codes to identify connections and reassemble messages every user uses the entire spectrum all of the time allows most efficient usage of frequency spectrum

Wireless Services History

1G
offered

analog voice only uses Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) offered data rates of approximately 9600 bps

Wireless Services History

2G
digital

voice and digital data

digital data applications: text messaging, streaming audio, & electronic publishing

implemented

circuit switching technology uses TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) peak data rate: 14.4 kbps

Wireless Services History


migration from 2G to 2.5G to assist carriers with upgrading infrastructure transition to 3G 2.5G

voice

and data transmission enhanced data rates and packet data services adopted packet-switching technology peak data rate: 115 kbps

Wireless Services History

3G
combination

of circuit and packet switching

technologies high data rates in addition to voice transmission able to achieve data rates between 307 kbps to 2.4 Mbps

3G Technology
Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) Code Division Multiple Access 2000 (CDMA2000) Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA)

Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA)


leading global 3G standard 2 sub standards based on CDMA technology:

Freedom

of Mobile Multimedia Access

(FOMA)
worlds first commercial W-CDMA service developed in Japan by NTT DoCoMo

Universal

Mobile Telephone System (UMTS)

mainly used in countries that use GSM (Europe)

CDMA2000

second generation of CDMA digital cellular technology outgrowth of 2G CDMA, but still backwards compatible substandards:

CDMA2000 1x, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, and CDMA2000 1xEVDV


EV-DO Evolution-Data-Only EV-DV Evolution-Data-Voice

main 3G technology used in Canada and the United States

Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA)


uses a combination of TDMA and CDMA developed and used in China only in an attempt to develop home-grown technology and not be "dependent on Western technology" for 3G services

Main Challenges
developing reliable protocols to ensure high data rate transmission to mobile devices developing protocols for pervasive networks to allow handoff between heterogeneous network types

Implementation
content providers all over the world have been rolling out 3G networks for a couple years now in Canada:

Bell

and Telus introduced 3G services in late 2005 Rogers started offering live TV through MobiTV in April 2005

3G Handsets

worldwide drive to implement 3G networks is creating demand for more sophisticated handsets

Panasonic 3G Handset

Nokia 3G Handset

Motorolas Vodaphone 3G Handsets

The Future: 4G
Japanese company NTT DoCoMo is testing 4G communication at 100 Mbps while moving, and 1 Gbps while stationary plans to roll out in 2010 will be based strictly on packet-switched technology only while 3G is a combination of packet- and circuit-switching

The Future: 4G
pervasive networks hypothetical concept where users can be handed off using heterogeneous wireless technologies

e.g.

cellphone uses WiFi or WiMax when available, then hands off to UMTS or another cellular technology

Why I think 3G is cool

video delivery to cellphones is a huge market


projections

in multiple billions of dollars

mobile video conferencing is also a cool technology

The End
