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

� 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

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
