NETWORK
Note: This
presentation
will be
focusing on
how to
improve 3G
networks
and use 4G
as viable
solutions

BRIEF OVERVIEW
 Discuss background and necessary knowledge
 Discussion of Current Broadband System
 Benefits
 Issues
 Does it work?
 Replacements and Changes
 Can broken become fixed?
 Can good become better?
 Could this happen tomorrow?
TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
 #G- replace “#” with generation number, G stands for generation standards






set by institutions like 3GPP, and not synonymous with iPhone #G(S) when
referring to network generations
3GPP- 3rd Generation Partnership Project; society that helps advance
mobile technologies
CDMA- Code Division Multiple Access the primary format for 3G
EDGE- Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution; 2G Technology
End-user- person who uses device
FCC- Federal Communication Commission, government regulatory body
HSPA(+)- High Speed Packet Access (Plus or Evolved)- Mobile Network
format no “+” usually 3G; w/ “+” usually 4G
DEFINITIONS CONTINUED
 LTE- Long Term Evolution: Mobile network format usually 4G
 Mega/Giga byte- byte = eight 0’s and/or 1’s and megabyte = 106 bytes
and gigabyte = 109 bytes (roughly)
 Mobile Broadband- marketing term for cellphone internet
 Piggybacking-unauthorized use of a preinstalled network
 Ping- Delay time between source and destination (i.e. phone and tower)
 WiMax- Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access; another
format for 4G (IEEE)
BANDWIDTH
 Valve, source, service provider
 Hose, transmission, network
 Sprayer, device
 Pressure = speed
 Water = Data
BACKGROUND
 First Mobile call April 3rd,1973 to rival
 1G first released in 1979 (Japan)
 2G first released in 1991 (Finland)
 Text Messaging
 “Kinda-Sorta” internet
 3G first released in 2001 (Japan)
 Full internet
 Video Streaming
 Music Streaming
FCC VS. 3GPP
 Regulate price
 Regulates

IN DEVELOPEMENT
Data Formats
 LTE
 WiMAX
 HSPA+
Electronically Tunable Antenna
Repurposing funds
Other Ideas
DATA FORMATS
 Improving bandwidth
 WiMax and HSPA+ are improved 3G models
 LTE New 4G technology
 Increases traffic and demmand
 Tower bandwidth will fill up faster
ELECTRONICALLY TUNABLE ANTENNA
 Cell phone loses reception reverts
 Each generation uses different frequency
 Antenna resonates at frequency for length
 Shortcut!!!!
REPURPOSING MONEY
 FCC supplements costs
 Pays different companies to cover same person
 Changing funds to be streamlined
WARNING
The use of piggybacking for you wifi connection is illegal and by no means
being supported by this presentation. The views expressed by the next
section in no ways reflect on the views of the FCC, Western, the presenter,
the professor, etc. Any time you piggyback for data you risk a 5 year
sentence and several thousands of dollars in fines. When this presentation
is presenting the idea of piggybacking as a viable solution it is suggesting
reworking how networks are accessed and not stealing someone else’s
data connection.
This presentation would also like to say stop data hogging, it’s not nice!
OTHER IDEAS
 Piggybacking networks
 See previous slide
 *cough cough* don’t do it *yet
 Changing user habbits
WHAT DO WE DO?
 Low Bandwidth
 Media size growing
 Companies aren’t able to release as fast as needed
 No provider has perfect rating
HERE’S WHAT WE DO
 Building are responsible for network access
 Government
 Distribution
 Tax credit
 -or- charge for gov’n’t to do
 Auctions coverage
 Network Providers
 Devices
 Support

 I know it’s a lot! Ask me more!
