Open Wireless Architecture – The Core to 4G Mobile Communications
Abstract
Fourth Generation (4G) Mobile Communications is not focused only on the data-rate increase and new air interface. 4G Mobile converge the advanced wireless mobile communications and high-speed wireless access systems into an Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) platform which becomes the core of the emerging
next generation mobile technology. Asia is the most dynamic market of new generation mobile communications with an estimated business of over $100 billion in the next decades. The 4G mobile technology is convergence of wireless mobile and wireless access, will definitely drive this growth. Any single-architecture wireless system, including 3G, HSDPA, WiMax, etc., is a transitional solution only, and will be replaced by open wireless architecture system very soon where various different wireless standards can be integrated and converged on this open platform.
