| Third generation (3G) Mobile Wireless Systems are currently under development. Their field deployment will commence in early 2001. These systems are being designed to be data-centric with peak bit rates of 384kb/s in fully mobile environments. This talk will address the evolution of technologies and systems that will result in fourth generation systems with 10 times higher peak bit rates and capacities than the 3rd generation systems and fully compatible with Internet Protocol (IP) based networking. |
