Instant Online Access and 6-Month eLearning License Included The term 3G has been used to describe the next generation of wireless technology. However, what does 3G really mean? Is it a specific technology? Is it a specific architecture? 3G is a set of requirements that describe the next generation of wireless technology. They are based on bandwidth, architecture and Quality of Service. Since this is a set of requirements, there is not a single standard for 3G. This course provides a description of the 3G requirements as well as an overview of the 3rd Generation wireless technologies, including their history, standards and architecture. Also included is an overview of 2G networks (GSM, IS-136 and IS-95), the limitations of those networks and the motivations for enhancing the network to support 3G requirements. The evolutionary step of 2.5G networks (GPRS/EDGE), their benefits and limitations are also discussed.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • Describe the evolution of cellular voice networks as they evolve to provide high-speed, cost effective access to the Internet and corporate intranets • Identify 2G network architecture, associated air interface technologies, and the data services they provide • Describe the limitations of 2G networks and technologies and why 3G is needed • List the major 2.5G and 3G technologies of CDMA2000, GPRS/EDGE and UMTS • Identify the possible evolutionary paths from 2G solutions to 2.5G and 3G • Explain the differences between the various 2G, 2.5G and 3G architectures
Intended Audience
This course is intended for anyone seeking an understanding of 3G wireless networks, their features and capabilities.
