Introduction

2G – 2nd Generation Mobile System GSM, IS-95, cdmaOne Low-bit-rate data

3G – 3rd Generation Mobile System Higher-data-rate service New technology

GPRS IMT-2000 Bluetooth WLAN HiperLAN

Independent systems, all have there own shortcomings A single system is needed to replace all of them – 4G

Research Challenges – Mobile Station

Multimode User Terminals Needs: terminals can adapt themselves for different wireless networks Ideal solution: adopt the software radio approach

Challenge – current technology is not completely feasibility One antenna and one LNA cannot serve the wide range of frequency bands

Need multiple analog parts

Existing ADCs are not fast enough The fastest current ADC is still 2 to 3 orders slower

Needs more interface functions for real-time execution More functions cause high circuit complexity, high power consumption and dissipation

11

Research Challenges – Mobile Station

Wireless System Discovery GSM – periodically broadcast 4G – more complicated because of

difference in network and protocols

Solution and Challenge Scanning by software radio Load required software for network OTA (Over The Air)

Free users from download Simplify network Management Long downloading time Slow downloading speed

Research Challenges – Mobile Station

Wireless System Selection Needs

Select the optima network for the service needed Right network ensure QoS (Quality of Service)

Challenge Network change from time to time – complicated to select Adequate knowledge of networks is required to make the selection

Precise understanding of supported service System data rates QoS requirements Communication costs User preference

Research Challenges – System

Terminal Mobility Allows user to roam across networks Solutions and Challenges

Location management Information about the roaming terminal

Original and current located cells Authentication information QoS capabilities

Handoff management System load, handover latency, package losses Horizontal and Vertical handoff Rea-time multimedia service

No latency! Correct handoff time Uncertain handoff times

Hard to design good handoff

mechanisms

15

Research Challenges – System

Network Infrastructure and QoS Support Background

Non-IP-based system – Voice delivery GSM, CDMA2000, UMTS

IP-based system – Data service 802.11, WLAN, HiperLAN

For 4G – Integrating How to integrate? How to ensure QoS?

More and more systems are involved Hard to guarantee end-to-end QoS

From provider to user

16

Research Challenges – System

Security and Privacy Background

2G / 3G: different standards implemented for their unique feature Existing security schemes are inadequate for 4G

Challenge Key concern for 4G – Flexibility Should be applied to different technologies and devices

Varied capabilities Varied processing powers Varied security needs

Fault Tolerance and Surivivability One network fails, many other networks afffected

Research Challenges – Service

Multi-operators and Billing System Background

Today’s system – a flat rate based billing system 4G – more comprehensive billing and accounting system

Challenge User subscribe to many services from many providers at same time New business architecture, accounting process and data maintenance Equalization on different charging schemes

One Single Billing Method Covers All
