Study Notes
Course Overview
- The course covers the principles and techniques of digital communication systems, with an emphasis on mobile cellular networks.
1G Systems
- Early AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone Systems) used FDMA in the 800 MHz band at a bandwidth of 30 kHz.
- AMPS concentrated on speech services and were based on analog transmission.
- The system had capacity and security-related problems.
Problems Associated with 1G Systems
- Compatibility issues: All deployed systems were incompatible.
- Standard: Each network had its own standard.
- Roaming: Roaming was impossible, and most countries had only one operator.
- Size and Charging: 1980s technology couldn't make cell phones small and affordable.
- Cost: The systems were very expensive, around $1000.
2G Systems
- 2G systems use digital transmission technology, introduced in the 1990s.
- Examples of 2G systems include GSM, IS-54, IS-95, IS-136, PDC, and PHS.
- GSM (Global Systems for Mobile Communications) was developed in Europe in 1983.
- GSM systems operate at various frequency bands, including 900 MHz/1800 MHz.
GSM in Nigeria
- GSM was introduced in Nigeria in August 2001.
- GSM systems operate in various frequencies and use the time division multiple access (TDMA) technique to multiplex up to 8 calls per channel.
- GSM contributes around 8.86% to Nigeria's GDP.
Importance of GSM
- GSM is important to study because it offers various services, including prepaid/postpaid calling, voice, mail, SMS, and call waiting.
Migration Paths from 1G to 3G
- The migration from 1G to 3G involved the development of intermediate technologies, such as 2.5G and 3.5G.
Mobile Standards and Properties
- Various mobile standards, including GSM, IS-136, IS-95, HSCSD, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA 2000, WCDMA, HSPA, and LTE, have different data rates, bandwidths, and switching techniques.
Terms Associated with Mobile Communication
- Mobile station (MS): A radio transceiver attached to a network, used to make and receive calls.
- ITU (International Telecommunication Union): A specialized agency of the United Nations that coordinates global telecommunication networks and services.
- NCC (Nigerian Communications Commission): The regulatory body for the Nigerian telecommunications industry.
