Transmission planning aspects of wireless access systems for telecommunications networks

Integrating wireless access with the established telecommunication network presents new transmission and performance challenges. Key factors include increased delay, coding and handset design. In order to provide end-to-end quality acceptable to the users on connections with wireless access, appropriate transmission planning and echo control will be required. This paper focuses on a number of performance and quality factors for both speech and data that need to be addressed from the perspective of wireline equivalence, for both second-generation and future third-generation wireless access systems
