摘要：This paper summarizes how one can make use of 4th generation of wireless communication to controlGround Combat Vehicle which is the Army's replacement program for armoured fighting vehicles in Heavy andStryker brigade combat teams. Robotics in army is an interesting field where every engineer can showcase his creativeand technical skills. As the development of individual and cooperating autonomous robots advances, the need forrobust and reliable communication method becomes apparent. This paper summarizes a the feasibility of implementingDual-Tone, Multi-Frequency (DTMF) as an alternative mean of robotic communication to Radio Frequency (RF) forcontrolling the Ground Combat Vehicle which will remove the need of human being to be involved physically in thebattle. The user in order to control the vehicle should make a video call to the 4G enabled phone attached in theVehicle, from any another 4G enabled phone, which can send DTMF tones by pressing the numeric buttons and canview the video output. The cell phone in the vehicle is kept in auto answer mode. So, after a ring the cell phone acceptsthe call and starts video transmission. This article provides an in-depth view on the technologies being considered forLong Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-Advanced). First generation (1G) wireless telecommunication is the termrelated to analog phones that are now collector’s items - introduced the cellular architecture that is still being offered bymost wireless companies today. Second generation (2G) wireless supported more users within a cell by using digitaltechnology, which allowed many callers to use the same multiplexed channel. But 2G was still primarily meant forvoice communications, not data, except some very low data-rate features, like short messaging service (SMS). Socalled2.5G allowed carriers to increase data rates with a software upgrade at the base transceivers stations (BTS), aslong as consumers purchased new phones too. Third generation (3G) wireless offers the promise of greater bandwidth,basically bigger data pipes to users, which will allow them to send and receive more information.
