Abstract

Emergence of the fourth generation mobile communication system (4G system) is now in its dawn. This paper pro- poses a perspective framework on the 4G system, and discusses system aspects of radio access technologies. The focus of the paper is to define the scope and features of the 4G system in an overall system/network viewpoint. From the foreseeable development trends, it is highly expected that whatever emerges in the 4G system will be some kind of constantly evolving and grand recursive concatenation of all the existing system/network developments.
