Using 4G wireless technology in the car

This paper reviews the use of the 4th generation, 4G wireless technology in cars, public transport and emergency services. The article describes the standards for Mobile WiMAX (standard IEEE 802.16e-2005) and the 3rd Generation Partnership Project, the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE). In a vehicle which applies the 4G wireless technology car solution concept, consumers would be able to access network- and cloud-based applications, putting on-demand entertainment, infotainment, diagnostics, and navigation. We discuss the advantages of introducing the solution concept «4G connected car» and the use of this technology in Russia. We have carried out experimental investigations. Our results show that the system operates up to the speed of the car of 140 km/h. The interactive system to send and receive signals works with data rates of 10 Mbps.
