Abstract

In this article we propose a unified radio network architecture, broadband wireless multimedia (BWM), which integrates broadcasting service and broadband wireless access service at both the application and physical layers. A simple, flexible, and comprehensive radio resource management framework is developed for the unified radio network. It is shown that the proposed radio network architecture has many advantages over existing ones. In addition, the new architecture is currently being considered in China for the system level design.
