�� Digital Modulation SchemesDigital Modulation Schemes� PSK – finite number of phases� FSK – finite number of frequencies� ASK – finite number of amplitudes� QAM – finite number of at least two phases and at le ast two
amplitudes
Wireless technology tradeWireless technology trade--offsoffs
�� Data rateData rate� Higher order modulation (e.g. 64-QAM vs. 16-QAM) ge nerally
provides higher data rates but poorer noise perform ance resulting in less range
�� Battery lifeBattery lifeCertain modulation schemes generally require linear
10
� Certain modulation schemes generally require linear amplifiers (QAM, OFDM) vs. lower power class C ampl ifiers that can be used in schemes such as FSK, PSK and CD MA
�� Receiver ComplexityReceiver Complexity� Certain modulation schemes require coherent demodul ation
which requires perfect phase and frequency synchron ization with the carrier

Why is a switch necessary?Why is a switch necessary?
• User preferences based on the current task
• Context change and context awareness
• Employment of suitable User Interface technologies

• Minimizing the charges including the roaming charges
• Maximizing the battery life
• Minimizing the time for multiple tasks execution
• The switching among the technologies and modes can The switching among the technologies and modes can be performed implicitly or explicitlybe performed implicitly or explicitly
• For implicit switching (passive modalities), the us er may For implicit switching (passive modalities), the us er may or may not be notified about the technology and/or mode or may not be notified about the technology and/or mode changechange

5. The creativity is boundless5. The creativity is boundlessThe newest BlackBerry Storm handset uses a radically different touchscreen keyboard • The Storm uses a touchscreen
similar to the iPhone's, where you move your finger lightly on the surface to navigate around the screen
To confirm a selection or menu choice, you press harder. The slight flexing of the display triggers a tiny switch beneath it, generating distinct tactile feedback. This avoids a common problem on touchscreens: It can be difficult to distinguish between just moving

• The Storm does let you edit by cutting and pasting—and you can use a two-finger stretch to select text
• You can also use a flick of a finger to scroll pages up or down, which is particularly handy for browsing quickly through a list of e-mails
around the display and initiating an action
