When 3GPP started standardizing the IMS a few years ago, most analysts expected the number of IMS deploymentsto grow dramatically as soon the initial IMS specifications were ready (3GPP Release 5 was functionallyfrozenin the first half of 2002and completedshortly after that). While those predictions ...

The first practical examples of mobile communications were used in many countries like the USA, the UK and Germany in military services, and played a significant role in the First World War to transfer important information from the front to headquarters to take further actions. Good and secure wire ...

Changes in telecommunications are impacting all types of user group, which include business users, traveling users, small and home offices, and residential users. The acceptance rate of telecom- munications and information services is accelerating significantly. Voice services needed approximately 5 ...

Wireless communications has become a field of enormous scientific and economic interest. Recent success stories include 2G and 3G cellular voice and data services (e.g., GSM and UMTS), wireless local area networks (WiFi/IEEE 802.11x), wireless broadband access (WiMAX/IEEE 802.16x), and digital broad ...

Fourth Generation (4G) wireless communication systems aim to allow peak data rates in the range of 1 Gbps for nomadic access and 100 Mbps for vehicular mobil- ity. 4G aims to support current and emergent multimedia services, such as mobile TV, social networks and gaming, high-definition television a ...

Public telephone operators and new independent wireless operators through- out the world are deploying wireless access in an effort to drastically reduce delivery costs in the most expensive part of the network?the local loop. Available radio technology enables both existing and new entrants to acce ...

The continuing explosive growth in mobile communication is demanding more spectrally efficient radio access technologies than the prevalent second generation (2G) systems such as GSM to handle just the voice traffic. We are already witnessing high levels of mobile penetration exceeding 70% in some c ...

Once upon a time, cellular wireless networks provided two basic services: voice telephony and low-rate text messaging. Users in the network were separated by orthogonal multiple access schemes, and cells by generous frequency reuse patterns [1]. Since then, the proliferation of wireless services, fi ...
