Abstract

The race to implement 4G (fourth generation mobile communication systems) is spiraling day by day. Researchers and vendors want to reap the benefits of this new technology. But migration to 4G is full of hurdles as 4G mobile communication systems hold great promise in supporting data transmission rates of upto 100 MB per second and providing wireless devices users with near-ubiquitous connections. Various technologies have been developed and researched for implementing 4G. This paper has attempted to highlight the key challenges in migrating to 4G mobile communication systems. The paper also discusses in short the various key technologies required for implementing for fourth generation mobile communication systems.
