Find out how the exciting new developments towards 4G mobileservices and technologies will put the user at centre stage.
Towards 4G Technologies provides a comprehensiveexplanation of future networking and service deliveringtechnologies for next generation mobile systems. The authorsexplain how personalization, mobile middleware, peer-to-peerservices, semantic computing, and content-awareness fit into thisnew concept and why they will become a necessity for future mobileservices. The book presents the latest challenges and opportunitiesof Next Generation Mobile Systems, explaining new paradigms ofservice provisioning that include flexible and adaptable services.Towards 4G Technologies:
* Gives a comprehensive description of future networking andservice delivering technologies.
* Covers hot topics such as intelligent user profiling, proactiveservice selection, context-aware service provisioning andubiquitous computing.
* Introduces seemingly diverse technologies to show how they willplay together to create a new user experience.
* Includes case studies to illustrate the theory.
This invaluable guide will provide telecoms engineers in R&Ddepartments, CTOs, and telecoms managers as well as academicresearchers in electrical, electronic engineering andtelecommunications with a comprehensive understanding of nextgeneration mobile system technologies and services.
