Outline
• Significance of mobile phones• Mobile phone internals• Cellular phone infrastructure• Major points of energy consumption • Greener life by mobile phones
History
• Analog Cellular Networks – 0G, 1G– 0G: 1947, ATT
• UHF-VHF Frequencies
– 1G: 1978, AMPS• FDMA
• Digital cellular networks – 2G – 1990, Finland– Europe: GSM– USA: CDMA
Two 1991 GSM mobile phones with several AC adapters

History (cont’d)
• 2G extensions – 2.5G– 2G + data service– CDMA2000 1x, GPRS, EDGE
• Mobile broadband data – 3G– Demand for data service– Packet switching instead of circuit switching– Various standards, hard to converge– 2 Mbit/s maximum data rate indoors, 384 kbit/s outdoors– 1st pre-commercial: NTT DoCoMo, Japan May 2001– Mobile internet, Dongles
5
History (cont’d)
• Higher speed data – 3.5G, 3G+, Turbo 3G– High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA)– Down-link speeds of 1.8, 3.6, 7.2 and 14.0 Mbit/s
• Native IP networks – 4G– 2009: Bandwidth-intensive applications
• E.g. streaming media• 3G networks would be overwhelmed
– Data optimized technologies– WiMax in US, LTE in Scandinavia

• Half duplex• Walkie-talkie• CB: Citizen Band Radio • Full duplex
• Cell phones
Basic Operation of Cell Phones
Old Style: Central Radio Tower• One tower per town
• Limited channels (25) available
• Powerful radios needed• Limited number of
simultaneous talkers
• Walkie Talkie: 1 channel• CB: 40 channels
Cellular Networks• Share frequencies across cells• Cell phones: 1664+ channels

The microprocessor (Ericsson phones use an ASIC version of the Z-80)
An Interesting Project
Cell Phone Implant• 2002: Royal college of Art,
London• Vibration transmitted from
tooth to inner air• Participants confirmed to hear
crystal clear voices through teeth!
• Got people think about implantable phone technology

Smart Phones
What is it?• Between normal phone and
PDA• Install applications• Additional features
– Accelerometer– Proximity sensor– Ambient light sensor
• Software stack– OS (Android, iOS, Windows
Mobile OS)
Google Phone
• Google phone1. The G1, 20082. Nexus One, 2010
• Android OS– 2008– Linux based– Open source– Compare to Apple iOS The HTC G1 is the first
phone to feature the Google Android OS.
The Nexus One is the first phone to be sold by Google directly to consumers.
