Network and access technologies for new generation mobile communications - overview of National R&D Project in NICT

Summary R&D on new generation mobile network has attracted a growing interest over the world on the background of rapid market growth for 2nd and 3rd generation cellular networks and wireless LANs/MANs. The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) started the New Generation Mobile Network Project in April 2002, and has developed fundamental technologies to enable seamless and secure integration of various wireless access networks such as existing cellular networks, wireless LANs, home networks, intelligent transport systems (ITS), the Beyond-3G (B3G) cellular and other wireless access systems. This paper overviews the achievements of the project focusing on network and access technologies. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
