Broadband Wireless Mobile: 3G and Beyond

The convergence of broadband wireless mobile (3G wireless and 4G mobile) and wireless access systems will be the next significant development in wireless communications........
By using an advanced network architecture it will deliver broadband services in a more generic configuration to wireless customers and support value–added services and emerging interactive multimedia configurations. When you are in the office, home, airport or shopping center your communicator will automatically be able to connect to the broadband short–range wireless access networks (i.e. Wireless LAN) to provide high–speed wireless connections. This cutting edge resource presents the enabling technologies required. Ultimately, 4G mobile will provide seamless high data rate wireless service over an increasing number of integrated yet distinct and heterogeneous wireless mobile and access platforms and networks operating across multiple frequency bands.
∗ Discusses the air interfaces and radio protocol of the 3G wireless and beyond systems
∗ Focuses on the network architecture and reference models
∗ Provides a comprehensive update on the progress of emerging wireless applications protocols WAP and i–Mode
∗ Studies the initiatives in 4G mobile communications
Edited by a leading authority in the field Broadband Wireless Mobile offers state–of–the–art updates in this fast evolving area and will be the definitive reference book for engineers, researchers, students and managers who are involved in this next generation wireless communications.
