Abstract

Future wireless multimedia will mainly be characterized by a horizontal communication model, where different access technologies such as cellular mobile, broadband wireless access, wireless LANs, short-range connectivity, and wired systems will be combined on a common platform to complement each other in an optimum way for different service requirements and radio environments. The simplified battle between the best technologies does not make sense, since different technologies have their optimal usage in different places. The major vehicle toward the next phase of telecommunications networks is combination of Internet technologies and mobile communications. On the path toward 4G, evolutionary rather than revolutionary progress could be preferred, as a means of ensuring maximum reuse of service platforms and access infrastructures while evolving them. The trends in multimedia wireless networking toward 4G system is pointed out in this paper.
