Evolution of Wireless Systems Sample Clauses

Evolution of Wireless Systems. ‌ Since the xxxx of humanity, it was a target of mankind to be able to communicate over long distances. Smoke signals and pigeon post are early manifestation of this desire. With the formulation of the mathematical theory of electromagnetic waves by Xxxxxxx in 1873, a journey of wireless communications started. Xxxxxxx made a historic milestone by realising radio wave transatlantic communications in 1901. Before the end of the 1940s, AM, FM and TV communication systems became available. Satellite communication, which started in the late 50s, was a major step in the evolution of wireless communications [2–4]. Probably the most important breakthrough for contemporary mobile commu- nication systems was the introduction of the concept of cellular mobile commu- nication by AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph) Bell labs in the 1970s. This is now considered the first generation (1G) of cellular mobile communication systems, which are currently progressing towards 6G. The 1G and 2G systems provided only voice services. The evolved generation of 2G (also known as 2.5G) added packet data services. Nowadays, 5G data services dominate the wireless communication systems [5]. Table 1.1 summarizes the evolution of the wireless mobile communications systems over time, and shows the main technologies used in each system [2][3][4][5]. While the cellular mobile communication systems were developing, other types of wireless networks were also being developed. These data-oriented networks are listed in Table 1.2 [6]; namely Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and WiMAX [6]. Wi-Fi is a wireless local area network that is oriented towards low cost, small distance and high data rate. Bluetooth is oriented towards low power, small distance, low data rate and low-cost peer-to-peer networks. Zigbee is an industrial ad-hoc wireless sensor network that is designed for extremely low power and low data rate and very long battery life. WiMAX is a metropolitan area network that is intended for fixed or low mobility data applications and Internet services. WiMAX can probably be used to provide Internet service in isolated areas. Currently, new wireless devices, such as laptop computers, smart phones and hand-held tablets have access to at least two of the above-mentioned wireless networks, therefore, they are multihomed devices. Multihoming is when the com- munication terminal has multiple network interfaces available for transmission [7]. By default, the device connects to one of the wireless net...
