Abstract :
4G technologies require higher data rate, wider bandwidth, ultra-connectivity and seamless handover between heterogeneous networks. The adaptation layer enables a mobile terminal to support various physical layer technologies. In this paper, we suggest the functions, primitives, and operational illustrations of the adaptation layer supporting two physical layer technologies, i.e. WCDMA and WLAN.
