Abstract

Wireless access and new wireless network architectures are rapidly transforming global telecommunications. Already at a cost-performance level with conventional wireline technology, mobile cellular and personal communications networks are well entrenched around the globe. Wireless has achieved its performance through the innovative application of a range of technologies including smart antennas to increase coverage and performance. In the near future, the seamlessly integrated wired and wireless global networks based on international standards will emerge to deliver a profusion of services and provide access to broadband networks.
