4G Cellular Network

What is 4G Cellular Network?

4G network is fourth generation of cellular network technology. 4G networks in developed by a guideline laid by International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in International Mobile Telecommunications-Advanced (IMT-Advanced Standard). The first 4G network was released in South Korea on around 2006 which was of Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) standard Network type. Then the 4G network was further developed and Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard was released in Oslo, Norway and Stockholm, Sweden in 2009. The Data speed report provided by ITU that users get the network speed up to 100 Mbit/s.

The International Mobile Telecommunications-Advanced (IMT-Advanced) requirement laid by ITU-R are
  1. It should have peak rate of approx., 100 Mbit/s for high portability and also low portability by up to 1 Gbit/s.
  2. It should contain or runs with a scalable bandwidth of 5-20 MHz.
  3. Must have a peak link spectral efficiency of about 15 bit/s Hz in the downlink and 6.75 bit/s Hz in the up link.

Standard System used in 4G Cellular Network

  1. Mobile WiMAX

    2. It is an mobile wireless broadband access (MWBA) which has an IEEE 802.16e technology. The data rates supply by WiMAX is at downlink of 128Mbit/s and up link of 56 Mbit/s for about 20MHz bandwidth.

    Peak Data Download 128 Mbit/s
    Peak Data Upload 56 Mbit/s
  2. 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE)

    3. 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology is now often identified a 4G-LTE now-a-day. Earlier LTE does not fully comply with the IMT- advanced requirements. Its theoretical data speed is about 100 Mbit/s for downlink and 50 Mbit/s for uplink only if 20 Mhz bandwidth channel is use and it can be increased if Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) device like, antenna arrays, etc can be used.

    Peak Data Upload 50 Mbit/s
  3. 3GPP Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-Advanced)

    4. 3GPP Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-Advanced) technology was developed to outstand the requirement of ITU. It is an enhanced version of LTE.LTE Advanced along with LTE use same additional spectrum and multiplexing to reach it to the higher data sped rate

5G Cellular Network

What is 5G Cellular Network?

5G is the Fifth generation of cellular network technology. The 5G network is divided into small geographical area which is known as cells. It has an greater bandwidth and higher download data speed as compared to 4G Network. The ITU-R has defined an enhancement in capabilities like Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC), and Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB).

Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB)

It uses 5G Network as a developed version from 4G LTE Mobile broadband services. It will provide a high speed internet spedd in heavy crowded area such as concerts, stadiums, colleges etc.With the help of larger bandwidth.

Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC)

This application is used for an area where an uninterrupted and robust data exchange are needed. The system of short packaging data transmission is used to fulfill the wireless communication networks both reliability and latency.

5G Network speed

5G comes with the fastest mobile network speed till now that ranges up to 50 Mbit/s to about 1000Mbit/s. The Sub-6 5G model will deliver a data speed of about 100Mbit/s to 4400Mbit/s
