Abstract

The key objective in the design of a new radio interface for next-generation wireless communications is to develop a scalable and adaptable radio access system that will support the challenging requirements for systems beyond third generation (B3G). The new radio interface must support a wide range of usage and radio environments and provide a significant improvement in performance and quality of service to meet future market demands. In addition, the new radio interface should also make optimalum use of spectral resources through techniques such as multiple antennas and advanced resource management. Bell Labs is currently collaborating with a strong consortium of major players including service providers, manufacturers, and academic organizations in the wireless field, within the framework of the European Commission–funded Wireless World Initiative— New Radio (WINNER) project. By studying the requirements, enabling technologies, and identifying the critical issues, WINNER can help build a consensus of a system concept and regulatory requirements, and encourage new opportunities for convergence. © 2007 Alcatel-Lucent.
