INTRODUCTION
With the rapid development of communication networks, it is expected that fourth generation mobile systems will be launched within decades. Fourth generation (4G) mobile systems focus on seamlessly integrating the existing wireless technologies including GSM, wireless LAN, and Bluetooth. The future of mobile communication is FAMOUS-Future Advanced Mobile Universal Systems; 4G must be hastened, as some of the video applications cannot be contained within 3G. Finally, this report describes how 4G mobile communication can be used in any situation where an intelligent solution is required for interconnection of different clients to networked applications over heterogeneous wireless networks. This report gives the details about the need for mobile communication and its development in various generations. In addition, the details about the working of 4G mobile communication were given. The problem with 3G wireless systems is bandwidth, these systems provide only WAN coverage ranging from 144 kbps (for vehicle mobility applications) to 2 Mbps (for indoor static applications). Segue to 4G, the next dimension of wireless communication. The 4g wireless uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and smart antenna. Data rate of 20mbps is employed. Mobile speed will be up to 200km/hr. Frequency band is 2 8 GHz. it gives the ability for worldwide roaming to access cell anywhere. The approaching 4G (fourth generation) mobile communication systems are projected to solve still-remaining problems of 3G (third generation) systems and to provide a wide variety of new services, from high-quality voice to high-definition video to high-data-rate wireless channels. The features of 4G systems might be summarized with one wordIntegration. The 4G systems are about seamlessly integrating terminals, networks, and applications to satisfy increasing user demands. The continuous expansion of mobile communication and wireless networks shows evidence of exceptional growth in the areas of mobile subscriber, wireless network access, mobile services, and applications.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The radio telephone system contained one central antenna tower per region. The central antenna required radio phones to have a powerful transmitter, capable of transmitting up to 50 miles is OG. In 1G, Narrow band analogue wireless network is used, with this we can have the voice calls and can send text messages then in case of 2G Narrow Band Wireless Digital Network is used. Both the I G and 2G deals with voice calls and has to utilize the maximum bandwidth as well as a limited till sending messages i.e. SMS. But the greatest disadvantage as concerned to 1G is that with this we could contact with in the premises of that particular nation, where as in case of 2G the roaming facility a semi global facility is available. Then the point to be noted is that 3G gives clarity of voice as well can talk without any disturbance. Not only has these but also had entertainments such as Fast Communication, Internet, Mobile T.V, Video Conferencing, Video Calls, and Multi Media Messaging Service (MMS), 3D gaming, Multi-Gaming etc. are also available with 3G phones.

VISION OF 4G
This new generation of wireless is intended to complement and replace the 3G systems, perhaps in 5 to 10 years. Accessing information anywhere, anytime, with a seamless connection to a wide range of information and services, and receiving a large volume of information, data, pictures, video, and so on, are the keys of the 4G infrastructures. The future 4G infrastructures will consist of a set of various networks using IP (Internet protocol) as a common protocol so that users are in control because they will be able to choose every application and environment. Based on the developing trends of mobile communication, 4G will have broader bandwidth, higher data rate, and smoother and quicker handoff and will focus on ensuring seamless service across a multitude of wireless systems and networks. The key concept is integrating the 4G capabilities with all of the existing mobile technologies through advanced technologies. Application adaptability and being highly dynamic are the main features of 4G services of interest to users. These features mean services can be delivered and be available to the personal preference of different users and support the users' traffic, air interfaces, radio environment, and quality of service. Connection with the network applications can be transferred into various forms and levels correctly and efficiently. The dominant methods of access to this pool of information will be the mobile telephone, PDA, and laptop to seamlessly access the voice communication, high-speed information services, and entertainment broadcast services. Figure 1 illustrates elements and techniques to support the adaptability of the 4G domain. The fourth generation will encompass all systems from various networks, public to private; operator-driven broadband networks to personal areas; and ad hoc networks. The 4G systems will interoperate with 2G and 3G systems, as well as with digital (broadband) broadcasting systems. In addition, 4G systems will be fully IP-based wireless Internet. This all-encompassing integrated perspective shows the broad range of systems that the fourth generation intends to integrate, from satellite broadband to high altitude platform to cellular 3G and 3G systems to WLL (wireless local loop) and FWA (fixed wireless access) to WLAN (wireless local area network) and PAN (personal area network),all with IP as the integrating mechanism. With 4G, a range of new services and models will be available. These services and models need to be further examined for their interface with the design of 4G systems. Figures 2 and 3 demonstrate the key elements and the seamless connectivity of the networks.

4G TECHNOLOGY
When talking about 4G, question comes to our mind is what is 4G Technology. 4G is short for Fourth (4th) Generation Technology. 4G Technology is basically the extension in the 3G technology with more bandwidth and services offers in the 3G. But at this time nobody exactly knows the true 4G definition. 4G technology concerns. One of the main concerns about 4G is that due to high speed of the Frequency, it will experience severe interference from multipath secondary signals reflecting off other objects. To counter this problem, a number of solutions have been proposed, including use of a variable spreading factor and orthogonal frequency code-division multiplexing some people say that 4G technology is the future technologies that are mostly in their maturity period. WiMAX or mobile structural design will become progressively more translucent, and therefore the acceptance of several architectures by a particular network operator ever more common.
4.1 4G Possibilities
4G Technology offers high data rates that will generate new trends for the market and prospects for established as well as for new telecommunication businesses. After successful implementation,4G technologies is likely to enable ubiquitous computing, that will simultaneously connects to numerous high date speed networks offers faultless handoffs all over the geographical regions.

FEATURES OF 4G
5.1 Key Features of 4G Technologies & Terminal Mobility
Some key features (mainly from the users point of view) of 4G networks are High usability: anytime, anywhere, and with any technology. Support for multimedia services at low transmission cost and integrated services. Finally, 4G systems also provide facilities for integrated services. Users can use multiple services from any service provider at the same time. To migrate current systems to 4G to provide wireless services at anytime and anywhere, terminal mobility is a must in 4G infrastructures, terminal mobility allows mobile client to roam across boundaries of wireless networks. There are two main issues in terminal mobility: location management and handoff management. With the location management, the system tracks and locates a mobile terminal for possible connection. Location management involves handling all the information about the roaming terminals authentication information, and Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities. On the other hand, handoff management maintains ongoing communications when the terminal roams.Fig.5.1. shows an example of horizontal and vertical handoff. Horizontal handoff is performed when the terminal moves from one cell to another cell within the same wireless system. Vertical handoff, however, handles the terminal movement in two different wireless systems (e.g., from WLAN to GSM).

CHAPTER 6
Several key differences in a LTE network enable more flexibility in its architecture than in a 3G. A functional representation of 3G network architecture is shown in Figure 1. In this network, the Base Terminal Station (BTS)/Node Bs aggregate the radio access network (RAN) traffic and transport it over a mobile backhaul network to the Radio Network Controllers (RNCs)/Base Station Controller (BSCs). Typically this transport is over T1/E1 copper facilities. If fibre is available at or near the cell site, then the cell traffic is transported over SDH/SONET rings or, more recently, a carrier Ethernet network when the eNodeBs are equipped with IP/Ethernet interfaces. The bearer traffic from a number of RNCs/BSCs is multiplexed at the Mobile Telephone Switching Office (MTSO) and then transported via direct tunnelling to the Gateway GPRS Serving Nodes (GGSNs) in the hub data centre. This transport is normally over a SDH/SONET ring or a carrier Ethernet network. This tiered aggregation and transport structure lends itself to a point-to-point network topology to
PIIT, New Panvel Page 11
Future Advanced Mobile Universal Systems 4G- (FAMOUS 4G) minimize both the amount of aggregation equipment required and the transport backhaul expense. In a 3G pre-Release 8 network, the RNCs and SGSNs are designed to support both the signalling and bearer plane processing and bandwidth requirements. The emphasis in the design for these network elements is in providing the processing necessary to support the high subscriber counts and Packet Data Protocol PDP contexts as the bandwidth requirements for delivery of the initial 3G data services (text and e-mail) were not significant. Since the data services that typically ran over these systems is not real-time neither QoS or latency was an issue. Therefore, the placement of these elements is usually in locations that primarily meet the PDP context and network latency requirements. Thus, the current 3G packet core architecture is typically a centralized network design with the GGSNs deployed in major data centres, and all the data services are backhauled from the SGSNs which are strategically deployed in regional serving offices. Because the aggregate bandwidth for these services did not increase significantly until the past few years, the backhaul transport costs were manageable and could be supported with leased TDM or lower rate OC-n/STM-n interfaces.
Above figure provides a high-level functional representation of a LTE/4G network. This network is composed of three major sub-networks: the Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Networks (eUTRAN),which provides the air interface and local mobility management of the user equipment (UE), the evolved packet core (EPC), and the broadband backhaul network that provides the aggregation of cell traffic and transport back to the EPC. The 3GPP LTE standards defined the EPC as a set of logical data and control plane functions that can be implemented either as integrated or as separate network elements. The four EPC functions are: the Serving Gateway (SGW), the Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW) that supports the data or bearer traffic; and the Mobility Management Entity (MME) and the Policy Charging and Rules Function (PCRF) which support the dynamic mobility management and policy control traffic. The backhaul network either is owned by the wireless operator or is leased from a third party backhaul access provider.

CHAPTER 7
An OFDM transmitter accepts data from an IP network, converting and encoding the data prior to modulation.An IFFT (inverse fast Fouriertransform) transforms the OFDM signal into an IF analog signal, which is sent to the RF transceiver. The receiver circuit reconstructs the data by reversing this process. With orthogonal subcarriers, the receiver can separate and process each subcarrier without interference from other subcarriers. More impervious to fading and multipath delays than other wireless transmission techniques, ODFM provides better link and communication quality.
Future Advanced Mobile Universal Systems 4G- (FAMOUS 4G) 4Gs errorcorrection will most likely use some type of concatenated coding and will provide multiple Quality of Service (QoS) levels. Forward errorcorrection (FEC) coding adds redundancy to a transmitted message through encoding prior to transmission. The advantages of concatenated coding over convolutional coding are enhanced system performance through the combining of two or more constituent codes into one concatenated code. The combination can improve error correction or combine error correction with error detection For example: For implementing an Automatic Repeat Request if an error is found. FEC using concatenated coding allows a communications system to send larger block sizes while reducing biterror rates.
Future Advanced Mobile Universal Systems 4G- (FAMOUS 4G) To optimize the system throughput, under specified QoS requirements and delay constraints, scheduling will be used on different levels:

DESIGN SPECIFICATION
The 3G technology provides both circuit design and packet design. Circuit design, being the oldest, has greater ability to hold the connection for a longer duration. On the other hand the packet design is a wireless technology and is the core part of internet data transmission. The combination of these two patterns helps 3G technology to perform better and faster. However, the 4G technology is kept free from circuit design with an intention to gives nanosecond wings to data transfer and so has packet design only.
Future Advanced Mobile Universal Systems 4G- (FAMOUS 4G) IP address based are generally used for services such as VoIP. On the other hand, devices that are IP address based are used for data delivery. 4G networks will serve both types of devices.
