COMPARATIVE STUDY OF NEXT GENERATION HIGH SPEED WIRELESS NETWORKS
Rahul Malhotra, Sheenu Girdher · 2011
Advances in mobile communication theory have enabled the development of different wireless access technologies. Alongside the revolutionary progress in wireless access technologies, advances in wireless access devices such as laptops, palmtops, and cell phones and mobile middleware have paved the way for the delivery of beyond-voice-type services while on the move. This sets the platform for high-speed mobile communications that provide high-speed data and both real and non-real time multimedia to mobile users. Today's wireless world uses several communication infrastructures such as Bluetooth for personal area, IEEE 802.11 for local area, Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) for wide area, and Satellite networks for global networking other hand, since these wireless networks are complementary to each other, their integration and coordinated operation can provide ubiquitous “always best connection " quality mobile communications to the users. This paper discusses the different architectures of wireless networks and the different factors to be considered while designing a hybrid wireless network. The different factors to be considered for design of a hybrid wireless network and the different networks have been explored in this paper.
