4G Mobile Communication Systems: Turns, Trends and Transition

Recent activity in 4G (fourth generation) mobile communication systems has steeped the race in its implementation at the earliest. 4G wireless being an upcoming standard witnesses burgeoning interest amongst researchers and vendor. It is being designed to allow seamless integration and communication between wireless devices across diverse wireless standards as well as broadband networks wirelessly. Access to different radio technologies is facilitated due to IP-based-4G mobile communication system connecting the user. This paper attempts to make an assessment in development, transition, and roadmap for fourth generation mobile communication system with a perspective of wireless convergence domain and future research issues.
