The WSSUS (Wide-Sense Stationary Uncorrelated Scattering) model provides a statistical description of the transmission behavior of wireless channels.
Zigbee
Zigbee is an IEEE 802.15.4-based specification for a suite of high-level communication protocols used to create personal area networks with small, low-power digital radios, such as for home automation, medical device data collection, and other low-power low-bandwidth needs, designed for small scale projects which need wireless connection.
1G
1G refers to the first generation of cellular network (wireless) technology.
See Wireless and 1G
2G
2G is a short notation for second-generation cellular network, a group of technology standards employed for cellular networks.
See Wireless and 2G
3G
3G is the third generation of wireless mobile telecommunications technology.
See Wireless and 3G
4G
4G is the fourth generation of broadband cellular network technology, succeeding 3G and preceding 5G.
See Wireless and 4G
5G
In telecommunications, 5G is the fifth-generation technology standard for cellular networks, which cellular phone companies began deploying worldwide in 2019, and is the successor to 4G technology that provides connectivity to most current mobile phones.
