WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS IN CHINA: TECHNOLOGY VS. MARKETS.

The article focuses on recent developments in China's emerging wireless mobile communications networks, as well as perspectives on China's future wireless mobile technology and market, with an emphasis on research, development, deployment, application and business issues. To evaluate the emerging new technologies for future mobile communications, a B3G-oriented research project called Future Technologies for Universal Radio Environment (FuTURE) is being carried out in China. The article "Toward Beyond 3G: The FuTURE Project in China," provides an overview of the FuTURE system. This article discusses the application requirements, technology challenges, and some potential solutions of B3G systems. It is very likely that multiple air interface models will be deployed in China's 3G/4G systems. The article "Efficient Resource Allocation for China's 3G/4G Wireless Networks," presents an all-IP differentiated services platform to interwork heterogeneous wireless access networks with the Internet backbone.
