Abstract

Emergence of the fourth generation mobile communication system (4G system) is now in its dawn. This article proposes a perspective framework on the 4G system, and discusses various kinds of system aspects and technological requirements in terms of novel service features, spectrum management, radio access technologies, wired access integration, core network, and mobile terminal. The focus of the article is to define the scope and features of the 4G system in an overall system/network viewpoint. From the foreseeable development trends, it is highly expected that whatever emerges in the 4G system will be some kind of constantly evolving and grand recursive concatenation of all the existing system/network developments.
