MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES 3G AND BEYOND

摘要

The recent convergence of the Internet and mobile radio has accelerated the demand for "Internet on move" on light, low-cost terminals, as well as for radio technologies that boost data throughput and reduce the cost per bit. Mobile networks are now going multimedia, potentially leading to an explosion in throughput from a few bytes for the Short Message Service (SMS) to a few kbps for the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), to several 100 kbps for video content. This article presents an overview of the factors involved and the future trends in evolution of mobile technologies 3G and beyond.
