containing the brains of
the phone
•An antenna
•A liquid crystal display

•A microphone
•A speaker
•A battery

 •In the photos, you see several
computer chips. Let's talk about
what some of the individual chips
do.
•The analog-to-digital and
digital-to-analog conversion
chips translate the outgoing
audio signal from analog to
digital and the incoming signal
from digital back to analog.
•The digital signal processor
(DSP) is a highly customized
processor designed to perform
signal-manipulation calculations
at high speed

 The microprocessor handles all of
the housekeeping chores for the
keyboard and display, deals with
command and control signaling with
the base station and also coordinates
the rest of the functions on the board.
 The radio frequency (RF) and
power section handles power
management and recharging, and
also deals with the hundreds of FM
channels. Finally, the RF amplifiers
handle signals traveling to and from
the antenna.
 The ROM and Flash memory
chips provide storage for the
phone's operating system and
customizable features, such as
the phone directory.

 Some phones store certain

information, such as the SID and
MIN codes, in internal Flash
memory, while others use
external cards that are similar to
Smart Media cards.
 The display has grown
considerably in size as the
number of features in cell phones
have increased. Most current
phones offer built-in phone
directories, calculators and
games. And many of the phones
incorporate some type of PDA or
Web browser.
 Cell phones have such tiny speakers
and microphones that it is incredible
how well most of them reproduce
sound.
 As you can see in the picture above,
the speaker is about the size of a
dime and the microphone is no larger
than the watch battery beside it.
 Speaking of the watch battery, this is
used by the cell phone's internal
clock chip.
 What is amazing is that
all of that functionality
which only 30 years ago
would have filled an
entire floor of an office
building
now fits into a package
that sits comfortably in
the palm of your hand!

3G
 3G technology is the latest in mobile communications.
 3G stands for "third generation"
 this makes analog cellular technology generation one and digital/PCS
generation two. 3G technology is intended for the true multimedia cell
phone
 typically called smart phones
 and features increased bandwidth and transfer rates to accommodate
Web-based applications and phone-based audio and video files.
 3G comprises several cellular access technologies.
 The three most common ones as of 2005 are:
 CDMA2000 - based on 2G Code Division Multiple Access (see Cellular
Access Technologies)
 WCDMA (UMTS) - Wideband Code Division Multiple Access
 TD-SCDMA - Time-division Synchronous Code-division Multiple Access
3G
 3G networks have potential transfer speeds of up to 3 Mbps (about
15 seconds to download a 3-minute MP3 song).
 For comparison, the fastest 2G phones can achieve up to 144Kbps
(about 8 minutes to download a 3-minute song).
 3G's high data rates are ideal for downloading information from the
Internet and sending and receiving large, multimedia files.
 3G phones are like mini-laptops and can accommodate broadband
applications like video conferencing, receiving streaming video from
the Web, sending and receiving faxes and instantly downloading e-
mail messages with attachments.
 Of course, none of this would be possible without those soaring
towers that carry cell-phone signals from phone to phone.
Mobile TV

Mobile TV
Mobile TV
 Widespread mobile television has been a long time
coming. TV-enabled cell phones have been
available in Korea since 2002.
 In that first incarnation, the TV signals were
transmitted over a standard cellular network,
meaning per-minute watching fees and
unbelievable phone bills.
 In 2003, Samsung and Vodafone introduced phones
in Korea and Japan that received local analog TV
broadcasts for free.
 But the video was choppy, and it drained the phone
battery.
Mobile TV
 Thereal "mobile TV revolution" is only
beginning
as telecom companies release high-quality,
DTV-enabled phones
simultaneously rush to build the broadcast
networks to deliver the corresponding
content.
The basics behind
mobile TV
 The basic idea of the TV phone is pretty simple:
 It's a cell phone that acts as a TV receiver. If you've
read How Television Works, you know that TV signals
are just radio signals.
 Cell phones pick up radio signals all the time
○ it's what they do. In the case of TV phones
○ they have the ability to receive radio signals in the TV-
allocated frequency bands in addition to the bands allocated
for cell-phone voice data.
 For instance, a TV phone in the United States might
tune in to the 2110-to-2170-MHz band for a
conversation and the 54-to-60-MHz band to pick up
TV channel 2.
The basics behind
mobile TV
 The signal is the sent to the A/V
 The A/V unit the displays the image
This is just the same as your Television or TV
tuner card works
Wifi
 WiFi introduces more problems
More devices to look for
WarXing device

Bluetooth
 What extra equipment do you need to
locate
 BlueJacking
What is Blue jacking
 There are lots of types of modern devices that incorporate the Bluetooth wireless
communication system as one of their many features.
 PDAs, mobile phones and laptops are a few of these modern devices. Bluetooth
means that Bluetooth enabled devices can send things like phonebook/address
book contacts, pictures & notes to other Bluetooth enabled devices wirelessly over
a range of about 10 meters.
 So, we've got past the boring part.
 Now, using a phone with Bluetooth, you can create a phonebook contact and write
a message, eg. 'Hello, you've been bluejacked', in the 'Name' field.
 Then you can search for other phones with Bluetooth and send that phonebook
contact to them.
 On their phone, a message will popup saying "'Hello, you've been bluejacked' has
just been received by Bluetooth" or something along those lines.
 For most 'victims' they will have no idea as to how the message appeared on their
phone.
 So, personalized messages like 'I like your pink top' and the startled expressions
that result is where the fun really starts.

The future
 4G handset
Data transfer of 10 megabits per second
○ While moving
1 gigabit per second
○ when stationary
This would allow users who are not on the move
to download a movie in less than six seconds or
100 songs in less than three.
This kind of instant access, according to mobile
operators, will provide the instant appeal that 3G,
with nowhere near that kind of pulling power,
lacks.
