Author: Some 70 – 80% of mobile traffic originates from inside buildings. This is especially true in urban environments where the focus of the mobile user is on high data rates. For mobile 3G network, only serving macro base station within a few hundred meters of the building can provide sufficient level of RF signal to support indoor voice/data services. In realty, only a few buildings will fall into this category. Soft handover in 3G network will further increase the traffic load on the network since each indoor mobile phone can be serviced by more than one macro cells (base stations). In order to provide indoor high speed mobile data services such as HSPA (High speed Packet Access) or EVDO (Evolution – Data Optimized) services, the only solution is an indoor Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS).
DAS is used to distribute the RF signal evenly with sufficient strength inside a building to provide 3G voice and data services. DAS can be used to isolate the indoor network from the outdoor serving macro cells to eliminate the soft handover of the indoor mobile phone. This will reduce the traffic load and increase the speed of the 3G network. For HSPA high speed data service, indoor DAS can also provide isolation between serving and non-serving cells of the outdoor network. This means less co-channel interference in the HSPA serving cell and results in higher data rate for the HSPA service. To dominate the building with indoor coverage, directional antennas can be deployed at the edge and corners of the building and pointing towards the center of the building. The total indoor area is dominated by the indoor cell and at the same time minimizes leakage to the macro network.
DAS distributes a uniform dominant RF signal inside the building by splitting the signal from the indoor base station to multiple indoor antennas to provide coverage throughout the building. DAS can be classified as passive or active. Passive DAS uses passive components to distribute the RF signal. These passive components are coax cable, splitters, terminators, attenuators, circulators, couplers and filters (duplexer, diplexer or triplexer). Planning DAS includes calculating the maximum loss from base station to each antenna in the systems and does the link budget for the particular area that each antenna covers. The passive DAS design needs to adapt to the limitation of the building regarding the restriction to where and how the heavy coax cable can be installed. A detail site survey of the building needed to be done to make sure that there are cable routes to all antennas.
Active DAS has the ability to automatically compensate for the losses of the cables interconnecting the components in the system by using internal calibrating signals and amplifiers. It does not matter what the distance between the antenna and the base station, all antennas in an active DAS will have the same performance (same noise figure and downlink power). Active DAS consists of a master unit (MU) connected to multiple expansion units (EU) with optical fiber up to 6 km in length. Each EU in turns connects to multiple remote units (RU) with thin coax or CAT5 cable up to 400m in length. The MU controls and monitors the performance of the DAS. The EUs are distributed throughout the building and the RUs are installed close to the antenna. A wideband active DAS can support multiple radio services, GSM, PCS, UMTS, EVDO, WiMax and WiFi.
Due to the loss and attenuation in the coax cable and passive components, passive DAS is only used in smaller building covers by a small number of indoor antennas to keep its degrading impact on HSPA performance to a minimum. For larger building, active DAS is used because it does not have cable and component loss and can boost the HSPA performance to the maximum. Troubleshoot in passive DAS is difficult and any fault in the systems will not raise an alarm at the base station because there is no surveillance of errors in the system. Active DAS monitors all units in the system and in the event of malfunction; it will send an alarm to the base station which enables the operator to pinpoint the source of the problem. Hence, active DAS is the preferred solution for large building with a lot of indoor antennas.

After the iPhone 3G was released, a lot of people have been throwing out pressing questions related to Apple-released next generation phone. Here are some of them:
1. What does 3G mean?
If you are familiar with the naming conventions of iPod, the term 3G in the iPhone 3G might make you think that Apple is indeed releasing iPhone’s third generation. Well, 3G in the name only means “third-generation mobile technology”. This wide-area wireless phone technology actually allows a faster data transmission compared to the EDGE network being used by AT&T for the iPhone now.
2. How much faster is the iPhone 3G than the iPhone?
According to AT&T, the iPhone 3G has a typical download speed of 1.4Mbps versus the average data between 75Kbps and 135Kbps on the EDGE Network. During the keynote from Steve Job, it took around 21 seconds to actually load a graphics-filled Web page using the 3G while EDGE took around 59 seconds. Likewise, it took around 5 seconds to upload an email attachment compared to EDGE’s 18 seconds.
However, Glenn Fleishman, Macworld contributor, pointed out that the browser and email attachment loading times are not the most revealing and important exercise. The most notable thing to know about iPhone 3G is that its data transfer speed is a lot faster than the usual iPhone veterans have been used to.
3. Is it possible to use iPhone 3G anywhere?
Unfortunately, the 3G network used by AT&T only covers major metropolitan areas and the iPhone 3G’s 3G service may only be used in 280 metropolitan areas in the U.S. If you are located in an area without or with low 3G coverage, your iPhone 3G will gets its data from the slower EDGE network instead, which compared to the 3G service, has a wider availability.
4. What should I expect from iPhone 3G?
The iPhone 3G has another feature that appears to be quite a built-in and handy one. Thanks to the 3G connectivity that allows users to have phone conversations while simultaneously surfing the phone on its mobile network – for instance, it is possible to get the location of a restaurant without the need to hang up on your partner whenever you are trying to decide where to eat for dinner. With the original iPhone’s 2G connectivity, it is possible to talk on the phone through EDGE and surf the Net through Wi-Fi, but it is impossible to do both simultaneously.
4. What are the physical differences between the current iPhone model and the iPhone 3G?
There are a few differences. The iPhone 3G has now a plastic back, white on the iPhone 3G model and black on the 8Gb model. In addition, the volume buttons found on the left side of the new iPhone are now made of silvery metal.
The headphone port of the new device is now flushed with the main body of the phone, not like the recessed jack on the previous version. This only means that if you like a particular pair of headphones, you don’t need to use a headphone adapter anymore just to make them work with the iPhone 3G.
Another difference is that the iPhone 3G’s handset edges are thinner and are more curved compared to the previous version. This helps hide the little thicker middle part of the iPhone 3G. In addition, the new iPhone 3G is a little lighter than the previous model.
There you go – some of the questions iPhone fanatics have been throwing to the new iPhone 3G. If you have some more, then why don’t you just buy one and find out the answers to your questions yourself?

India is the fastest growing and the second largest telecom market in the world. The telecom revolution in India has a long history and we have had the advantage of jumping evolutionary steps and taking many short-cuts.
3G is the third generation of telecommunication hardware standards and general technology for mobile networking, superseding 2.5G. It is based on the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) family of standards under the IMT-2000.
3G networks enable network operators to offer users a wider range of more advanced services while achieving greater network capacity through improved spectral efficiency. Services include wide-area wireless voice telephony, video calls, and broadband wireless data, all in a mobile environment. Additional features also include HSPA data transmission capabilities able to deliver speeds up to 14.4 Mbit/s on the downlink and 5.8 Mbit/s on the uplink.
Implementation of 3G
The first commercial launch of 3G was by NTT DoCoMo in Japan on October 1, 2001. The 2nd network to go commercially live was by SK Telecom in South Korea on the 1xEV-DO technology in January 2002.
In Europe, the first commercial network was provided by Telenor in December 2001 on the W-CDMA technology and in USA, 3G network was first provided by Monet Mobile Networks, on CDMA2000 1x EV-DO technology, but this network provider later shut down its operation. The 2nd 3G network operator in the USA was Verizon Wireless in October 2003.
According to the latest data, about 190 3G networks were operating in 40 countries and 154 HSDPA networks were operating in 71 countries. In Asia, Europe, Canada and the USA, telecommunication companies use W-CDMA technology with the support of around 100 terminal designs to operate 3G mobile networks.
3G in India
Airtel and Vodafone
From August 2008, the Apple iPhone 3G is available in India on Airtel and Vodafone. Apple iPhone 3G combines all the revolutionary features of iPhone with 3G networking that is twice as fast as the first generation iPhone, built-in GPS for expanded location based mobile services, and iPhone 2.0 software which includes support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and runs the hundreds of third party applications already built with the iPhone SDK.
MTNL 3G ‘Jadoo’
In December, 2008 the state-owned Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL) announced the 3G mobile services, ‘Jadoo’, currently available to select high-end users of MTNL mobile services in Delhi and Mumbai. The service will provide an array of choices to its subscriber’s high-speed internet on mobile, video-calling, video surveillance and live TV. MTNL will have the first-mover advantage in the 3G space in Delhi and Mumbai.
BSNL : Chennai Gets 3G
After MTNL’s Jadoo in Delhi and Mumbai, BSNL has launched 3G services in Chennai in February, 2009. The city will now be able to experience the magic of faster internet on mobile phones. By month end, almost 12 cities in India will get a taste of 3G mobile telephony from BSNL.
Issues
Although 3G was successfully introduced to users across the world, some issues are debated by 3G providers and users:
• Expensive input fees for the 3G service licenses & agreements
• Numerous differences in the licensing terms
• Large amount of debt currently sustained by many telecommunication companies, which makes it a challenge to build the necessary infrastructure for 3G
• Lack of member state support for financially troubled operators
• Expense of 3G phones
• 3G networks use the KASUMI block crypto and a number of serious weaknesses in the KASUMI cipher have been identified.
• Lack of buy-in by 2G mobile users for the new 3G wireless services
• Lack of coverage, because it is still a new service
3G evolution (pre-4G)
The standardization of 3G evolution is progressing in both 3GPP and 3GPP2. The corresponding specifications of 3GPP and 3GPP2 evolutions are named as LTE and UMB, respectively. 3G evolution uses partly beyond 3G technologies to enhance the performance and to make a smooth migration path.
A 4g network is in the pipe line, capable of speeds of 100Mbit/s while moving and 1Gbit/s stationary. This however will not see the light of day until at least four, or even eight years time when they have the right equipment to use it. By that stage, bandwidth will be all around us to take advantage of.
WiMAX is a telecommunications technology that provides wireless transmission of data using a variety of transmission modes, from point-to-multipoint links to portable and fully mobile internet access. The technology provides up to 72 Mbit/s symmetric broadband speed without the need for cables. This makes WiMAX a technology of choice as a backhaul for 3G, especially in a country like India where villages are far flung and isolated.

Imagine a Smartphone with an open source operating system. With the integration of Googles open source operating system – Android – and T-Mobiles G1; consumers now have the ability to truly customize their experience. Additionally, 3G connectivity gives you that “always-on” experience that is so hard to come by.
The 3.2-inch TFT LCD 320 x 480-pixel touch-sensitive screen is breath taking. Users simply tap or slide a finger to maneuver through the phone, and with every screen, experience pure clarity.
Sliding the display, or front face, of the phone slightly upwards will reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. Rather than having an on screen keyboard, T-Mobile felt that a true QWERTY keyboard would allow consumers to be more efficient with their typing.
Knowing that Google developed the operating system, it should be no surprise that many of the default applications are also Google. (Applications like Gmail, Google Maps, Talk, and Calendar.) However, there are other applications like Windows Live and Yahoo Messenger, which are standard on the G1. Through the collaboration on Android Market, many other applications are also available.
The G1 is at the top of the line for Smartphones, and there is one reason for this – the operating system – Android. The operating system was created for consumers, so they could create applications that they want to use. Not only can consumers create their own applications, they can also share them with other Android users.
The G1 gives consumers a true “always-connected” experience. With the combination of 3G and Wi-Fi, consumers seamlessly transfer between networks when necessary. The transition is unnoticeable to consumers, or to the people they are talking to. The only difference, users might notice, is when browsing the web or using GPS functionality on the 3G network. The speed, on the 3G network, is phenomenal – you would never know you are connecting through a phone.
Many other features are included with the G1. One-touch Google search, web browsing, instant messaging, e-mail, and a 3.2-megapixel camera are just a handful of the additional features. The camera, while a nice feature, is not a very functional feature. The outcome, that this camera produces, typically looks like a 4 year old was the photographer. It appears as if there needs to be some sort of image stabilizer integrated into the phone to help with picture capturing.
The battery life, on the G1, is nowhere in comparison with other Smartphones. The average lifespan, on a fully charged battery, appears to be around a couple hours. It is rumored that this issue will be fixed, but until then, it would behoove you to purchase a car charger. There are other minor features missing, from the phone, like stereo Bluetooth, video recording, and an on-screen keyboard. If these features are prudent to you, the G1 may not be the answer to your dreams.
The G1 offers many features and applications, along with an open source operating system like no other. Surprisingly, for such new technologies, the price tag is low at $179.99 (with a new or extended contract with T-Mobile). While the phone has a few minor flaws, and missing features, it does provide consumers with a completely new experience in cell phones.

Some platforms such as the Nokia N-Gage have also dedicated the mobile phone to being a gaming platform- something quite unheard of previously.
A big topic in mobile phone industries today is the usage of the 3G network.

It’s an exciting race coming up to see who can build the best network- either way, consumers win.

Already, mobile phones are able to send emergency hotlines location data for those who are on their mobile phone at the time of the call. This functionality is being extended to the consumer range for applications such as finding a certain location, getting driving instructions, and even estimated times of arrival. There is still room for expansion, but already the GPS is proving to be a vital consumer application in mobile phones.
