The third generation (3G) mobile communication system is the next big thing
in the world of mobile telecommunications. The first generation included
analog mobile phones [e.g., Total Access Communications Systems
(TACS), Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT), and Advanced Mobile Phone
Service (AMPS)], and the second generation (2G) included digital mobile
phones [e.g., global system for mobile communications (GSM), personal
digital cellular (PDC), and digital AMPS (D-AMPS)]. The 3G will bring
digital multimedia handsets with high data transmission rates, capable of
providing much more than basic voice calls.
Mobile multimedia communication is increasingly in demand because of the basic need to communi-
cate at any time, anywhere, using any technology. In addition, to voice communication, people have a
desire to access a range of other services that comprise multimedia elements—text, image, animation,
high fidelity audio and video using mobile communication networks. To meet these demands, mobile
communication technologies has evolved from analog to digital, and the networks have passed through
a number of generations from first generation (1G) to fourth generation (4G).
The first practical examples of mobile communications were used in many countries like
the USA, the UK and Germany in military services, and played a significant role in the
First World War to transfer important information from the front to headquarters to take
further actions. Good and secure wireless communications were an important need for all
military services – army, navy and air force. In this respect, the Second World War was a big
experimental battlefield for the development and evolution of mobile radio. It was in the
interests of governments that after the Second World War the military investment should
be paid back by civilian use, and all western European countries started their so-called first
generation of mobile communication networks.
Recent advances in experimental methods have resulted in the generation
of enormous volumes of data across the life sciences. Hence clustering and
classification techniques that were once predominantly the domain of ecologists
are now being used more widely. This book provides an overview of these
important data analysis methods, from long-established statistical methods
to more recent machine learning techniques. It aims to provide a framework
that will enable the reader to recognise the assumptions and constraints that
are implicit in all such techniques. Important generic issues are discussed first
and then the major families of algorithms are described. Throughout the focus
is on explanation and understanding and readers are directed to other resources
that provide additional mathematical rigour when it is required. Examples
taken from across the whole of biology, including bioinformatics, are provided
throughout the book to illustrate the key concepts and each technique’s
potential.
CDMA has been quite successful as a second-generation cellular system,having achieved widespread use in particular in North America and Korea by the turn of the twenty-first century.
