Abstract:
Third Generation Wireless Networks are finally beginning
to be deployed commercially around the world this year. These
networks are extending voice services to multimedia services.
This presentation will address design challenges faced by
systems beyond 3G, as well as, new and emerging wireless technologies
which will enable us to meet those challenges, including the
evolution towards fully broadband networks and techniques
for making these broadband networks very flexible and offer
context and content aware multimedia communications services.
