Abstract :
The emerging 4G networks intend to provide a variety of adaptable services to mobile and nomadic users by using an integrated heterogeneous network infrastructure. The commonalities and differences among the various approaches in the integration of 4G systems and services are identified on the basis of an analysis of the research done by well-known international projects. Building on these and other ideas, the requirements for an integrated system and service 4G architecture are defined. Considerations and ideas discussed include AAA functions, network system management, end-to-end QoS negotiation and support, mobility management, adaptability and reconfigurability, support for multiple communication modes, ABC&S, service and access network advertisement, discovery and association, wireless billboard channel, and security and privacy challenges.
