Wireless Network Architectures
In planning the wireless network, we will have to determine which wireless network architecture
to adopt in the network environment. There are two architectures available,
namely standalone and centrally coordinated wireless network.
Standalone architecture (Ad hoc mode)
By using ad hoc mode, all devices in the wireless network are directly communicating with each
other in peer to peer communication mode. No access point (routers/switches) is required for
communication between devices.
For setting up ad hoc mode, we need to manually configure the wireless adaptors of all devices
to be at ad hoc mode instead of infrastructure mode, and all adaptors must use the same channel
name and same SSID for making the connection active.
2. Wireless Mobile Network
SWETA KUMARI BARNWAL Page 2
Ad hoc mode is most suitable for small group of devices and all of these devices must be
physically present in close proximity with each other. The performance of network suffers while
the number of devices grows. Disconnections of random device may occur frequently and also,
ad hoc mode can be a tough job for network administrator to manage the network. Ad hoc mode
has another limitation is that, ad hoc mode networks cannot bridge to wired local area network
and also cannot access internet if without the installation of special gateways.
However, Ad hoc mode works fine in small environment. Because ad hoc mode does not need
any extra access point (routers/switches), therefore it reduces the cost. Ad hoc can be very useful
as a backup option for time being if network based on centrally coordinated wireless network
(infrastructure mode) and access points are malfunctioning.
An ad hoc mode uses the integrated functionality of each adaptor to enable wireless services and
security authentication. The characteristics of an Ad hoc wireless network are listed as below:
• All access points in the network operate independently and has own configuration file.
• Access point is responsible for the encryption and decryption.
• The network configuration is static and does not respond to changing network conditions.
Centrally Coordinated Architecture (Infrastructure mode)
The other architecture in wireless network is centrally coordinated (infrastructure mode). All
devices are connected to wireless network with the help of Access Point (AP). Wireless APs are
usually routers or switches which are connected to internet by broadband modem.
3. Wireless Mobile Network
SWETA KUMARI BARNWAL Page 3
Infrastructure mode deployments are more suitable for larger organizations or facility. This kind
of deployment helps to simplify network management, and allows the facility to address
operational concerns. And resiliency is also assured while more users can get connected to the
network subsequently.
The infrastructure mode provides improved security, ease of management, and much more
scalability and stability. However, the infrastructure mode incurs extra cost in deploying access
points such as routers or switches.
An infrastructure mode wireless network has the characteristics as below:
• The wireless centralized controller coordinates the activity of access point.
• The controller is able to monitor and control the wireless network by automatically
reconfiguring the access point parameters in order to maintain the health of the network.
• The wireless network can be easily expanded or reduced by adding or removing access points
and the network can be reconfigured by the controller based on the changes in RF footprint.
• Tasks such as user authentication, fault tolerance, control of configuration, policy
enforcement and expansion of network are done by the wireless network controller.
• Redundant access points can be deployed in separate locations to maintain control in the
event of an access point or switch failure.
Types of Wireless networking technology and Comparison
The wireless networking use radio waves and/or microwaves to maintain communications in
among devices of sender and receiver such as laptops to the Internet, the business network and
applications. Hence a wireless networking is a computer networking technology that enables user
devices to communicate and access applications and information without connected by wires of
any kinds. When any wireless network device connected to Wi-Fi hot spots in public place, the
connection is established to that business’s wireless network.
By concerning the access area of a wireless network the wireless networking technology divided
into four major categories are as follows;
1. Wireless Local Area Network (WLANs):
2. Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMANs):
3. Wireless Wide Area Network (WWANs):
4. Wireless Personal Area Network (WPANs):
4. Wireless Mobile Network
SWETA KUMARI BARNWAL Page 4
Wireless Local Area Network (WLANs): WLANs allows users to linking of two or more
devices using a wireless distribution method that providing a connection through access points to
the wider Internet. It provides mobility function to its users to covers local area such as a
university campus, library or canteen, small offices or home to maintaining a network or gain
access to the internet. In this technology a temporary network can be formed by a small number
of users without the need of an access point (APs); given that they do not need access to network
resources. Sometimes it calls a local area wireless network (LAWN).
Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (WMANs): WMANs technology allows connecting
several wireless LANs. In this connection of multiple networks includes metropolitan area such
as different buildings in a city, which can be an alternative or backup to laying copper or fiber
cabling. WMAN networking technology is also known as Wireless Local Loop (WLL). It allows
communication in between two or more terminals (nodes) with the help of single access point,
within a radius up to 40 km. The most well-known WMAN wireless networking technology
includes WiMAX (WorldWide Interoperability for Microwave Access) created by WiMAX
Forum which was founded by Esemble, Nokia, Harri and CrossSpan in 2001. This wireless
network is also known as IEEE 802.16 (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers),
standard which defines the technology.
Wireless Wide Area Network (WWANs): Wireless Wide Area Network types of networks can
be maintained over large areas, such as neighboring towns, cities or countries, via multiple
satellite systems or antenna sites looked after by an ISP. These types of systems are referred to as
2G (2nd
Generation), 3G (3rd
Generation), 4G (4th
Generation) systems and upcoming generation.
WWAN services are typically delivered to smart phones and other handheld devices sold by
cellular service providers. In the family of WWAN technologies includes GSM/UMTS, CDMA
One/CDMA2000 etc.
Wireless Personal Area Network (WPANs):
WPAN is one another wireless technology that interconnects devices in a short span, generally
within a person’s reach. The two current technologies that are part of WPAN technology are
Infra Red (IR), Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15.1) and Zigbee (802.15.4). These will allow the
connectivity of personal devices within an area of about 30 feet. However, IR requires a direct
line of site and the range is less.

It is a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) technology and is used for exchanging data
over smaller distances. This technology was invented by Ericson in 1994. It operates in the
unlicensed, industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band at 2.4 GHz to 2.485 GHz. Maximum
devices that can be connected at the same time are 7. Bluetooth ranges upto 10 meters. It
provides data rates upto 1 Mbps or 3 Mbps depending upon the version. The spreading technique
which it uses is FHSS (Frequency hopping spread spectrum). A bluetooth network is
called piconet and a collection of interconnected piconets is called scatternet.

OPERATION OF CELLULAR SYSTEM
Operations of Cellular Systems can be categorized as:
1. Operation Procedures
2. Maximum Number of Calls Per Hour Per Cell
3. Maximum Number of Frequency Channels Per Cell
10. Wireless Mobile Network
SWETA KUMARI BARNWAL Page 10
Operation Procedures
The operation can be divided into four parts and a handoff procedure.
A.Mobile unit initialization
➢ When a user activates the receiver of the mobile unit, the receiver scans the set-up
channels. It then selects the strongest and locks on for a certain time.
➢ This self-location scheme is used in the idle stage and is user-independent. It has a great
advantage because it eliminates the load on the transmission at the cell site for locating
the mobile unit.
➢ The disadvantage of the self-location scheme is that no location information of idle
mobile units appears at each cell site.
B. Mobile Originated Call
➢ The user places the called number into an originating register in the mobile unit, and
pushes the “send” button.
➢ A request for service is sent on a selected set-up channel obtained from a self-location
scheme.
➢ The cell site receives it, and in directional cell sites (or sectors), selects the best directive
antenna for the voice channel to use.
➢ At the same time, the cell site sends a request to the mobile telephone switching office
(MTSO) via a high-speed data link.
11. Wireless Mobile Network
SWETA KUMARI BARNWAL Page 11
➢ The MTSO selects an appropriate voice channel for the call, and the cell site acts on it
through the best directive antenna to link the mobile unit.
C. Network Originated Call
➢ A land-line party dials a mobile unit number. The telephone company zone office
recognizes that the number is mobile and forwards the call to the MTSO.
➢ The MTSO sends a paging message to certain cell sites based on the mobile unit number
and the search algorithm.
➢ Each cell site transmits the page on its own set-up channel. If the mobile unit is
registered, the registered site pages the mobile.
➢ The mobile unit recognizes its own identification on a strong set-up channel, locks onto
it, and responds to the cell site.
➢ The mobile unit also follows the instruction to tune to an assigned voice channel and
initiate user alert.
D. Call termination
➢ When the mobile user turns off the transmitter, a particular signal (signaling tone)
transmits to the cell site, and both sides free the voice channel.
➢ The mobile unit resumes monitoring pages through the strongest set-up channel.
Handoff procedure
Maximum Number of Calls per Hour per Cell
Calculation of predicted number of calls per hour per cell in each cell, depends upon
➢ The Size of the Cell
➢ Traffic Conditions in the Cell.
The calls per hour per cell are based on how small the theoretical cell size can be. The control of
the coverage of small cells is based on technological development.
Example:
➢ We assume that the cell can be reduced to a 2-km cell, which means a cell of 2-km
radius.
➢ A 2-km cell in some areas may cover many highways, and in other areas a 2-km cell
may only cover a few highways.
➢ Let a busy traffic area of 12 km radius fit seven 2-km cells.
➢ The heaviest traffic cell may cover 4 freeways and 10 heavy traffic streets, as shown in
Fig.
➢ A total length of 64 km of 2 eight-lane freeways, 48 km of 2 six-lane freeways, and 588
km of 43 four-lane roads, including the 10 major roads, are obtained from Fig.
➢ Assume that the average spacing between cars is 10 m during busy periods. We can
determine that the total number of cars is about 70,000.
➢ If one-half the cars have car phones, and among them eight-tenths will make a call during
the busy hour, there are 28,000 calls per hour, based on an average of one call per car if
that car phone is used.
➢ The maximum predicted number of calls per hour per a 2-km cell Q is derived from the
above scenario.
➢ It may be an unrealistic case. However, it demonstrates how we can calculate Q for
different scenarios and apply this method to finding the different Q in different
geographic areas.
Maximum Number of Frequency Channels Per Cell
12. Wireless Mobile Network
SWETA KUMARI BARNWAL Page 12
➢ The maximum number of frequency channels per cell N is closely related to an average
calling time in the system.
➢ The standard user’s calling habits may change as a result of the charging rate of the
system and the general income profile of the users.
➢ If an average calling time T is 1.76 min and the maximum calls per hour per cell Qi is
obtained from previous section, then the offered load can be derived as
------------------- (1)
Assume that the blocking probability is given , then we can easily find the required number of
radius in each cell
EXAMPLE: Let the maximum calls per hour Qi in one cell be 3000 and an average calling time
T be 1.76 min. The blocking probability B is 2 percent. Then we may use Q from Eq. 1 to find
the offered load A.
With the blocking probability B =2 percent, the maximum number of channels can be found
from Appendix A as N = 100
Various Generations of Cellular networks: 2G, 2.5 G, 3G, 4G and 5G
Simply, the "G" stands for "GENERATION" . While you connected to internet, the speed of
your internet is depends upon the signal strength that has been shown in alphabets like 2G, 3G,
4G etc. right next to the signal bar on your home screen. Each Generation is defined as a set of
telephone network standards , which detail the technological implementation of a particular
mobile phone system. The speed increases and the technology used to achieve that speed also
changes. For eg, 1G offers 2.4 kbps, 2G offers 64 Kbps and is based on GSM, 3G offers 144
kbps-2 mbps whereas 4G offers 100 Mbps - 1 Gbps and is based on LTE technology .
The aim of wireless communication is to provide high quality, reliable communication just like
wired communication(optical fibre) and each new generation of services represents a big step(a
leap rather) in that direction. This evolution journey was started in 1979 from 1G and it is still
continuing to 5G. Each of the Generations has standards that must be met to officially use the G
terminology. There are institutions in charge of standardizing each generation of mobile
technology. Each generation has requirements that specify things like throughput, delay, etc. that
need to be met to be considered part of that generation. Each generation built upon the research
and development which happened since the last generation. 1G was not used to identify wireless
technology until 2G, or the second generation, was released. That was a major jump in the
technology when the wireless networks went from analog to digital.
1G - First Generation
13. Wireless Mobile Network
SWETA KUMARI BARNWAL Page 13
This was the first generation of cell phone technology. The very first generation of commercial
cellular network was introduced in the late 70's with fully implemented standards being
established throughout the 80's. It was introduced in 1987 by Telecom (known today as Telstra),
Australia received its first cellular mobile phone network utilising a 1G analog system. 1G is an
analog technology and the phones generally had poor battery life and voice quality was large
without much security, and would sometimes experience dropped calls. These are the analog
telecommunications standards that were introduced in the 1980s and continued until being
replaced by 2G digital telecommunications. The maximum speed of 1G is 2.4 Kbps.
2G - Second Generation
Cell phones received their first major upgrade when they went from 1G to 2G. The main
difference between the two mobile telephone systems (1G and 2G), is that the radio signals used
by 1G network are analog, while 2G networks are digital . Main motive of this generation was to
provide secure and reliable communication channel. It implemented the concept
of CDMA and GSM. Provided small data service like sms and mms. Second generation 2G
cellular telecom networks were commercially launched on the GSM standard in Finland by
Radio linja (now part of Elisa Oyj) in 1991. 2G capabilities are achieved by allowing multiple
users on a single channel via multiplexing. During 2G Cellular phones are used for data also
along with voice. The advance in technology from 1G to 2G introduced many of the fundamental
services that we still use today, such as SMS, internal roaming, conference calls, call hold and
billing based on services e.g. charges based on long distance calls and real time billing. The max
speed of 2G with General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is 50 Kbps or 1 Mbps with Enhanced
Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE). Before making the major leap from 2G to 3G wireless
networks, the lesser-known 2.5G and 2.75G was an interim standard that bridged the gap.
3G - Third Generation
This generation set the standards for most of the wireless technology we have come to know and
love. Web browsing, email, video downloading, picture sharing and other Smartphone
technology were introduced in the third generation. Introduced commercially in 2001, the goals
set out for third generation mobile communication were to facilitate greater voice and data
capacity, support a wider range of applications, and increase data transmission at a lower cost .
The 3G standard utilises a new technology called UMTS as its core network architecture -
Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. This network combines aspects of the 2G
network with some new technology and protocols to deliver a significantly faster data rate.
Based on a set of standards used for mobile devices and mobile telecommunications use services
and networks that comply with the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 ( IMT-
2000 ) specifications by the International Telecommunication Union. One of requirements set by
IMT-2000 was that speed should be at least 200Kbps to call it as 3G service.
3G has Multimedia services support along with streaming are more popular. In 3G, Universal
access and portability across different device types are made possible (Telephones, PDA's, etc.).
3G increased the efficiency of frequency spectrum by improving how audio
is compressed during a call, so more simultaneous calls can happen in the same frequency
range. The UN's International Telecommunications Union IMT-2000 standard requires
14. Wireless Mobile Network
SWETA KUMARI BARNWAL Page 14
stationary speeds of 2Mbps and mobile speeds of 384kbps for a "true" 3G. The theoretical max
speed for HSPA+ is 21.6 Mbps.
Like 2G, 3G evolved into 3.5G and 3.75G as more features were introduced in order to bring
about 4G. A 3G phone cannot communicate through a 4G network , but newer generations of
phones are practically always designed to be backward compatible, so a 4G phone can
communicate through a 3G or even 2G network .
4G - Fourth Generation
4G is a very different technology as compared to 3G and was made possible practically only
because of the advancements in the technology in the last 10 years. Its purpose is to provide high
speed, high quality and high capacity to users while improving security and lower the cost of
voice and data services, multimedia and internet over IP. Potential and current applications
include amended mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV,
video conferencing, 3D television, and cloud computing.
The key technologies that have made this possible are MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output)
and OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). The two important 4G standards
are WiMAX (has now fizzled out) and LTE (has seen widespread deployment). LTE (Long
Term Evolution) is a series of upgrades to existing UMTS technology and will be rolled out on
Telstra's existing 1800MHz frequency band. The max speed of a 4G network when the device is
moving is 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps for low mobility communication like when stationary or
walking, latency reduced from around 300ms to less than 100ms, and significantly lower
congestion. When 4G first became available, it was simply a little faster than 3G. 4G is not the
same as 4G LTE which is very close to meeting the criteria of the standards. To download a new
game or stream a TV show in HD, you can do it without buffering.
Newer generations of phones are usually designed to be backward-compatible, so a 4G phone
can communicate through a 3G or even 2G network. All carriers seem to agree that OFDM is
one of the chief indicators that a service can be legitimately marketed as being 4G. OFDM is a
type of digital modulation in which a signal is split into several narrowband channels at different
frequencies. There are a significant amount of infrastructure changes needed to be implemented
by service providers in order to supply because voice calls
in GSM , UMTS and CDMA2000 are circuit switched, so with the adoption of LTE, carriers
will have to re-engineer their voice call network. And again, we have the fractional
parts: 4.5G and 4.9G marking the transition of LTE (in the stage called LTE-Advanced Pro)
getting us more MIMO, more D2D on the way to IMT-2020 and the requirements of 5G .
5G - Fifth Generation
5G is a generation currently under development, that's intended to improve on 4G.5G promises
significantly faster data rates, higher connection density, much lower latency, among other
improvements. Some of the plans for 5G include device-to-device communication, better battery
consumption, and improved overall wireless coverage. The max speed of 5G is aimed at being as
fast as 35.46 Gbps, which is over 35 times faster than 4G.
Key technologies to look out for: Massive MIMO, Millimeter Wave Mobile Communications
etc. Massive MIMO, millimeter wave, small cells, Li-Fi all the new technologies from the

previous decade could be used to give 10Gb/s to a user, with an unseen low latency, and allow
connections for at least 100 billion devices . Different estimations have been made for the date
of commercial introduction of 5G networks. Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance feels
that 5G should be rolled out by 2020to meet business and consumer demands.
