Increasingly, people, computers and mobile devices are being linked together to bring life to the communications mantra: anybody, anything, anytime, anywhere. Wireless personal and Local Area Networks (LAN) are an essential part of the complex puzzle that will solve the problem of seamless connectivity.
Over the last decade, the tremendous growth in the mobile Internet user population has been accompanied by an exciting evolution in wireless networks. 4G wireless systems, currently in the design and scheduled to be deployed in the next decade, are expected to support considerably high data rates, and will be based on Internet technology, making them an integral part of the Internet infrastructure. Users are expected to be able to receive the same services over wireless as they do over wired networks, including high bandwidth applications like interactive multimedia and multi-player games. Furthermore, these services will be provided over a diverse set of environments including indoor home and office, city roaming, outdoor remote areas, and global satellite regions.
NextWave.IT Ltd have reviewed current developments toward future mobile broadband networks, and the 4G paradigm of internetworking and will give some perspectives on likely trends in future wireless broadband networking. The review focuses on were wireless broadband Internet and related technologies are heading. We show how different networks play their own roles in the emerging infrastructure so that we can travel the broadband Internet network from small mobile devices toward global internetworking.
The findings of our analysis show that the information surrounding wireless developments has led to the 4G infrastructure becoming more pervasive, leading to a society where broadband connectivity is available always when stationary and most of the time when on the move. It is envisioned that users will be seamlessly assigned and reassigned to the appropriate level in the roaming area based on their mobility requirements.
In our 4G future, it is our recommendation for both business and home users that mobile devices, home appliances and wireless networks require adaptive carrier sense solutions at different levels of internetworking, and Quality of Services (QOS) for all environments and levels of users.
