A cellular network is designed to facilitate wireless communication between devices, allowing them to exchange data, voice, and other information.

A cellular network consists of various components, including cell towers, mobile devices, base stations, and other infrastructure, all working together to provide wireless connectivity.

In cellular networks, the geographical area covered by a single cell tower is referred to as a cell.

Sectorization is a technique used to divide a cell into sectors, each served by a dedicated antenna, to increase capacity and improve signal quality.

Channel allocation is the process of assigning channels to mobile devices in a cellular network to ensure efficient use of the available spectrum.

Code division multiple access (CDMA) is a technology that allows multiple users to share the same frequency channel simultaneously by assigning unique codes to each user.

Handoff is the process of transferring a mobile device from one cell tower to another during a call or data session to maintain a continuous connection.

MIMO (Multiple-input multiple-output) is a technology that uses multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to improve signal quality and capacity in cellular networks.

Peak data rate refers to the maximum data transfer rate that can be achieved in a cellular network under ideal conditions.

3G (third-generation) cellular technology brought high-speed data services and improved multimedia capabilities to mobile devices.

GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) uses TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), while CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) uses CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) as the underlying multiple access technology.

4G (fourth-generation) cellular technology introduced LTE (Long-Term Evolution), which significantly improved data speeds and overall network performance.

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) offers increased bandwidth, reduced interference, and improved signal quality in cellular networks.

5G (fifth-generation) cellular technology is designed to provide ultra-high data rates, low latency, and massive connectivity for a wide range of applications.

Network slicing in cellular networks aims to provide customized network services tailored to specific applications or user requirements.
