As third generation (3G) mobile communication systems are being deployed, the research community are now focusing on the research needed for the long-term evolution of 3G and 4G systems. This fully updated second volume of the highly successful WWRF Book of Visions is a unique and timely book, presenting up-to-the-minute ideas and trends in mobile communications. This is a comprehensive single point of reference, focusing on the specifications and requirements of 4G and identifying potential business models, the research areas and required spectrum and enabling technologies. Featuring over 50% new material, including three new chapters on short range wireless communications, Security and trust, and Self organisation in Communication networks, and new coverage of reconfigurability, ad hoc networking and multi-user MIMO. Visions from all sectors of industry, manufacturers, network operators, research institutes and academia from all over world are captured by the WWRF and developed together to provide a complete end-to-end picture. Comprising material from White Papers edited within the working expert groups as well as those from the Vision Committee of WWRF, a top-down approach has been adopted starting from perceived users requirements and their expectations in the Future Wireless World.
