Abstract :
The race for higher data rates in wireless systems has produced a multiplicity of radio access methods to fulfill the quality of service needs for the next generation of mobile devices. This document presents an analysis of GERAN, UTRAN, WLAN, and Bluetooth as possible methods of accessing services via a wireless device. In light of the results, meaningful combinations for radio access methods of wireless devices are elaborated
