Definitions
Communication:
o
Is a process of transferring information from one entity to another.
The entity that transmits information is called Sender /Transmitter and the entity that
receives the information is called Receiver.
Wireless Communication:
o
Any form of communication that does not require the transmitter and receiver to be
in physical contact.
Transfer of information over a distance without the use of electrical conductors or
wires.
Electromagnetic wave propagated through free-space:
e.g.: Radar, RF, Microwave, IR.

Wireless History
1896, Guglielmo Marconi,
o
Invented the wireless telegraph.
Communication by encoding alphanumeric characters in analog signal
(used Morse code)
1901, Guglielmo Marconi,
o
Sent telegraphic signals across the Atlantic Ocean (~3200 km)
He received the letter "S", telegraphed from England to Newfoundland (Canada).
Used a kite-supported antenna for reception.

Wireless History
First mobile communication systems started in the 40s in the US and in the 50s
in Europe.
1960s: Communications satellites were launched (experimental)
1980s, First generation (1G) cellular networks (commercial)
o
Analog technology, heavy devices, and patchy coverage.
1997, the IEEE approved the world's first WLAN standard, IEEE 802.11
(Wi-Fi - in 1999).
1999, the IEEE set up the 802.16 working group (WiMAX in 2001)

Wireless Broadband
Internet is increasingly a multimedia experience
o
Higher data rates obtainable with broadband wireless technology
Shares same advantages of all wireless services: convenience and
reduced cost
o
o
o
Graphics, video, and audio (need high data rate)
Service can be deployed faster than fixed service
No cost of cable plant
Service is mobile, deployed almost anywhere
