Emerging Wireless examines opportunities presented by recent and forthcoming wireless platforms, including next generation IP-based wireless technologies, TD-SCDMA and HSDPA.
Emerging Wireless examines opportunities presented by recent and forthcoming wirelessplatforms, including next generation IP-based wireless technologies, TD-SCDMA andHSDPA. It also looks the criteria and various definitions of next generation networks(NGN) and fourth generation wireless (4G). Fixed and mobile markets are consideredand assessed.
Analysis is provided for 802.16, 802.20, HSDPA and subsequent UMTS releases, UMTSTDD, TD-SCDMA, proprietary broadband wireless technologies and FLASH-OFDM.Developments in Japan are also monitored and the future role of technologies such asintelligent antennas, OFDM, software defined radio, and mesh networking is assessed.Subscribers, device shipments, and base station deployments are quantified and detailedand a comparative analysis of these technologies is provided.
