Abstract:
Modern cellular handset designs are incorporating a wide
variety of wireless interfaces. Wide area network (WAN) technologies
are rapidly migrating from second generation voice interfaces
to GPRS, EDGE, CDMA2000, WCDMA, and HSDPA that offer voice
along with high speed data. WLAN technology, IEEE802.11a/b/g,
is finding its way into handset designs and offers an attractive
interface for high speed wireless data and voice over IP (VOIP)
services. Wireless personal area networks (PAN) such as Bluetooth
are also finding wide adoption. On top of this, GPS now ships
in millions of handsets each year, digital broadcast television
holds promise for widespread adoption within a few years,
UWB products are coming to market, and advanced interfaces
such as 4G WANs and cognitive radios are under discussion
for the future. This talk offers a view of how all these standards
will impact wireless services and what it will mean for handset
design.
