Performance Analysis of Mobile Broadband Technologies and 5G Trends and Beyond Networks in Malaysia

<p>This paper analysis and investigate the performance of Mobile Broadband (MBB) cellular networks based on the drive tests for suburban areas (at four states) in Malaysia. The data were collected from three main national Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) by using unbranded Samsung Galaxy S6 smartphone handsets, while the period of data collection was between January and February. Two MBB services were considered which are the video streaming and web browsing. For each MNO, the performance data of one MBB service was collected through one a dedicated smartphone. One smartphone was used to browse three different webpages, and One smartphone was employed to stream two YouTube videos with two different resolutions. The study considered four MBB Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), namely: latency, coverage, speed and satisfaction. As per the results, the performance of Fourth Generation (4G) is found superior than that of Third Generation (3G) networks. For instance, a vMOS score of above 3.3 was achieved by 4G networks for MBB video-streaming service, while, score of below 2.6 was attained by 3G networks across all the four studied areas. In addition, it was observed that an enhancement factor of up to 2.86 and 2.83 in download speed was presented by 4G technology in case of video streaming and web page browsing respectively as compared to 3G technology. Examining the performance of current MBB networks is supportive before the deployment of the 5G network. The efficient development of 5G networks in Malaysia can be realized through these study findings, where the existing 4G infrastructures will contribute to supporting the 5G and 6G networks.</p>

Penetration Test for the 3G Internet Service Provider and Free Basics Service by Facebook

<p>The number of devices connected to the Internet using mobile devices is increasing every day. Charge for mobile data over 3G and 4G networks is high in some countries which pushes users to browse the Internet through text-only service. Facebook proposed free basics service which allows users to browse Facebook for free but without showing images. This research formats the images on web pages in a method that makes images transferred over text-only networks. This allows users with low income or slow connections to surf text service over the internet with images supported. The main objective is to test the free basic service by Facebook and Internet Service Provider over 3G networks additionally proposing an image format for text-only networks. The proposed algorithm converts .png and .jpg images and post them on the Facebook page. The results from the Facebook page show images can be seen over 3G networks with free mode enabled.</p>

3G Internet and Confidence in Government*

How does mobile broadband internet affect approval of government? Using Gallup World Poll surveys of 840,537 individuals from 2,232 subnational regions in 116 countries from 2008 to 2017 and the global expansion of 3G mobile networks, we show that, on average, an increase in mobile broadband internet access reduces government approval. This effect is present only when the internet is not censored, and it is stronger when the traditional media are censored. 3G helps expose actual corruption in government: revelations of the Panama Papers and other corruption incidents translate into higher perceptions of corruption in regions covered by 3G networks. Voter disillusionment had electoral implications: In Europe, 3G expansion led to lower vote shares for incumbent parties and higher vote shares for the antiestablishment populist opposition. Vote shares for nonpopulist opposition parties were unaffected by 3G expansion.

Consumer Strategies for Adoption of Performance Analysis of 4g Mobile Services

We use a preference test to determine the ability of consumers to pay for mobile services enhancements with an emphasis on changes to four-gyms and roaming networks. Increasing mobile Internet speed (eventually, with 4 G), unlimited mobile Internet, improved quality (possible with 4 G) and unrestricted use in two neighboring countries are the characteristics of improved mobile services we are investigating. (unrestricted roaming). The results show that uncontrolled roaming services are most important to people. The next move to do is to increase the speed and infinite attributes at 1 per cent. . The statistically insignificant effect of improved quality at the rate of 5percent indicates that users are satisfied with the current quality level which they achieve with 3G. To research 4 G network recognition of mobile and web consumers. To analyze how the use of 4 G technologies viewed smartphone and internet consumers. Research the factors affecting smartphone and web users ' behavioural expectations (BI) through 4G. Mobile User necessities are rising faster than constantly and the limitations of the existing mobile communication systems have required the researchers to emanate up with additional advanced and proficient technologies. 4G and 4G-LTE mobile technology is the next step in this trend. This is next generation of wireless networks 4G-LTE that will completely replace 3G networks. it is responsible for its customers with enhanced speed and entirely IP based multimedia services. 4G-LTE is completely approximately an integrated, global network that will be intelligent to afford a complete IP solution where voice, data and streamed multimedia can be specified to users on a basis. But there is a pronounced essential of deploying such technologies that can incorporate entirely these systems into a single combined system. The aim of this paper is to focus the benefits, challenges in deployment and opportunity of technologies. Comparative analysis of 4G-LTE based on performance in new communication trend and generations in India.

ANALISIS KINERJA INTERNET OF THINGS BERBASIS FIREBASE REAL-TIME DATABASE

Internet of Things (IoT) technology makes it possible to monitor and control environmental conditions and electronic devices remotely via the internet. To be used as a monitoring and control tool, the IoT must be able to be operated in realtime. IoT must be able to provide information about an environmental condition and control electronic devices in real time. In this study a remote lighting control system was built using Firebase as a database that is able to turn on/off lights in realtime. The system is built using NodeMCU ESP8266 and android applications so that it is easier to implement on smartphones. The purpose of this study is to perform a performance analysis of firebase as a database that is able to update data in real time via the internet. Testing is done using various types of network connections such as 3G networks, 4G networks, and Local Area Networks (LANs). The test results show that Firebase supports the application of IoT that is capable of updating data in realtime, but the type of network connection used provides a varied delay effect. The average delay generated on 3G networks, 4G networks and LANs is 3.57 seconds, 1.42 seconds and 1.4 seconds.

Analytical Study of a Dual Pointer Based Strategy for Location Update Using Node B Sojourn Time in UMTS Networks

This article describes how Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is a 3G cellular network standard that uses location update (LU) and location search (LS) for mobility management. LU requires update in two location registers (LRs) - home LR (HLR) and visiting LR (VLR) - where one HLR controls multiple VLRs. HLR updates (HLRUs) are costlier, and hence should be less frequent. To achieve it, VLRs maintain a forward pointer chain among themselves, instead of updating HLR. But a lengthy chain increases LS cost considerably. So, we propose to restrict the chain length to unity by introducing an additional backward pointer, and using the concept of root-VLR similar to the home agent concept of mobile IP. We derive a closed form solution to approximate the average HLRUs per call, and substantiate it by simulation in cases of both random and diurnal mobilities. Results reveal substantial reduction in HLRUs per call, even when call-to-mobility ratio is high. UMTS operators will find the analysis worth considering, while managing their 3G networks.
