DIFFERENT TYPES OF WIRELESS
COMMUNICATION WITH APPLICATIONS
INTRODUCTION

• The term wireless communication was introduced in the 19th century and wireless
communication technology has developed over the subsequent years. It is one of the
most important mediums of transmission of information from one device to another
devices. In this technology, the information can be transmitted through the air without
requiring any cable or wires or other electronic conductors, by using electromagnetic
waves like IR, RF, satellite, etc. In the present day, wireless communication technology
refers to a variety of wireless communication devices and technologies ranging from
smartphones to computers, tabs, laptops, Bluetooth Technology, printers. This article
gives an overview of wireless communication and types of wireless communication.
INTRODUCTION TO TYPES OF WIRELESS
COMMUNICATION

• In the present days, the wireless communication system has become an

essential part of various types of wireless communication devices, that
permits the user to communicate even from remote operated areas. There are
different types of wireless communication devices like mobiles. Cordless
telephones, Zigbee wireless technology, GPS, Wi-Fi, satellite television, and
wireless computer parts. Current wireless phones include 3 and 4G networks,
Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi technologies.
WHY WIRELESS COMMUNICATION?

• We know that communication using wires can do most of the tasks like wireless communication, so what is
the main use of wireless communication? The main advantage of wireless communication is mobility. This
kind of communication provides flexibility and very easy to use excepting mobility. For instance, mobile
telephony can be implemented anytime and anyplace through significantly high throughput performance.
• One more point is its infrastructure because, for the wired communication systems, the fitting of
infrastructure is a costly & time taking task whereas the installation of wireless communication infrastructure
is very simple and less cost.
• from the above information, finally, we can conclude that in remote areas as well as emergency situations, the
wired communication setup is not easy but wireless communication is a possible choice. There are many
reasons to employ wireless communication like liberty from wires, global coverage, flexibility & stay
connected.
 TYPES OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
• At present, the usage of mobiles has been increased for different requirements like the internet, talking, multimedia, gaming, photos, video
capturing, etc. All these services are available on mobile. Using wireless communication services, we can transfer data, voice, images,
videos, and many more.

• The different services provided by the wireless communication system is a cellular telephone, Radio¸ paging, TV, video conferencing, etc
use different communication services, there are different wireless communications systems are developed based on the application. Some of
them are discussed below. A wireless Communication system is classified into Simplex, Half Duplex & Full Duplex.

• The simple wireless communication system is one-way communication. In this type, the communication can be done in one direction only.
The best example is the radio broadcast system.

Satellite Communication

• Infrared Communication

• Broadcast Radio

• Microwave Communication

• Wi-Fi

• Mobile Communication Systems

• Bluetooth Technology

• Global Positioning System (GPS)

• Paging
SATELLITE COMMUNICATION

• Satellite communication is one type of self-contained wireless communication

technology, it is widely spread all over the world to allow users to stay connected
almost anywhere on the earth. When the signal (a beam of modulated microwave) is
sent near the satellite then, the satellite amplifies the signal and sent it back to the
antenna receiver which is located on the surface of the earth. Satellite communication
contains two main components like the space segment and the ground segment. The
ground segment consists of fixed or mobile transmission, reception, and ancillary
equipment and the space segment, which mainly is the satellite itself. Please refer to
this link to know more about the Satellite Communication System
INFRARED COMMUNICATION
• Infrared wireless communication communicates information in a device or
system through IR radiation. IR is electromagnetic energy at a wavelength
that is longer than that of red light. It is used for security control, TV remote
control, and short-range communications. In the electromagnetic spectrum,
IR radiation lies between microwaves and visible light. So, they can be used
as a source of communication.
• For successful infrared communication, a photo LED transmitter and a
photodiode receptor are required. The LED transmitter transmits the IR
signal in the form of nonvisible light, that is captured and saved by the
photoreceptor. So the information between the source and the target is
transferred in this way. The source and destination can be mobile phones,
TVs, security systems, laptops, etc support wireless communication. Please

BROADCAST RADIO

• The first wireless communication technology is open radio communication to seek out widespread use, and it still serves a purpose nowadays. Handy
multichannel radios permit a user to speak over short distances, whereas citizen’s band and maritime radios offer communication services for sailors.
Ham radio enthusiasts share data and function emergency communication aids throughout disasters with their powerful broadcasting gear, and can even
communicate digital information over the radio frequency spectrum.
• Mostly an audio broadcasting service, radio broadcasts sound through the air as radio waves. The radio uses a transmitter that is used to transmit the data
in the form of radio waves to a receiving antenna(Different Types of Antennas). To broadcast common programming, stations are associated with the
radio N/W’s. The broadcast happens either in simulcast or syndication or both. Radio broadcasting may be done via cable FM, the net, and satellites. A
broadcast sends information over long distances at up to two megabits/Sec (AM/FM Radio).
• Radio waves are electromagnetic signals, that are transmitted by an antenna. These waves have completely different frequency segments, and you will be
ready to obtain an audio signal by changing into a frequency segment.
• For example, you can take a radio station. When the RJ says you are listening to 92.7 BIG FM, what he really means is that signals are being broadcasted
at a frequency of 92.7megahertz, which successively means the transmitter at the station is periodic at a frequency of 92.700,000 cycles/second.
• When you would like to listen to 92.7 BIG FM, all you have to do is tune the radio to just accept that specific frequency and you will receive perfect
audio reception.
WI-FI

• Wi-Fi is a low power wireless communication, that is used by various

electronic devices like smartphones, laptops, etc. In this setup, a router works
as a communication hub wirelessly. These networks allow users to connect
only within close proximity to a router. Wi Fi is very common in networking
applications which affords portability wirelessly. These networks need to be
protected with passwords for the purpose of security, otherwise, it will access
by others
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

GENERATION OF WIRELESS
COMMUNICATION

• The different generations of wireless communication include the following.

• 1st Generation (1G)
• 2nd Generation (2G)
• 3rd Generation (3G)
• 4th Generation (4G)
• 5th Generation (5G)
 ISDN, DSL, AND ADSL
• ISDN was first defined in the CCITT red book in 1988.The Integrated Services of Digital Networking, in short ISDN is a
telephone network based infrastructure that allows the transmission of voice and data simultaneously at a high speed with greater
efficiency. This is a circuit switched telephone network system, which also provides access to Packet switched networks.
• ISDN supports a variety of services. A few of them are listed below
• Voice calls
• Facsimile
• Videotext
• Teletext
• Electronic Mail
• Database access
• Data transmission and voice
• Connection to internet
• Electronic Fund transfer
• Image and graphics exchange
• Document storage and transfer
• Audio and Video Conferencing
• Automatic alarm services to fire stations, police, medical etc.
DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE (DSL)

• Digital Subscriber Line (DSL, originally, digital subscriber loop) is a

communication medium, which is used to transfer the internet through
copper wire telecommunication lines. Along with cable internet, DSL is one
of the most popular ways ISPs provide broadband internet access.
• Its aim is to maintain the high speed of the data being transferred.
• If we ask how we going to achieve such a thing i.e., both telephone and
internet facilities, then the answer is by using splitters or DSL filters(shown
in the below diagram). Basically, the splitter is used to splits the frequency
and make sure that they can’t get interrupted.
ASYMMETRIC DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE
(ADSL)

• Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, or ADSL, is a communication technology that offers

faster connection speeds over traditional telephone lines than dial-up internet provides. It
powers many internet connections worldwide and enabled the broadband internet speeds that
drove Web 2.0 and beyond.
• Although it has been supplanted in many well-connected areas by fiber internet connections,
ADSL is still an important technology. Understanding what ADSL is can be an important step
in choosing the right connection for your home or business.
