Summary: Find out how the exciting new developments towards 4G mobile services and technologies will put the user at centre stage. Towards 4G Technologies provides a comprehensive explanation of future networking and service delivering technologies for next generation mobile systems. The authors explain how personalization, mobile middleware, peer-to-peer services, semantic computing, and content-awareness fit into this new concept and why they will become a necessity for future mobile services. The book presents the latest challenges and opportunities of Next Generation Mobile Systems, explaining new paradigms of service provisioning that include flexible and adaptable services.[START BOLD & ITALICS] Towards 4G Technologies: . Gives a comprehensive description of future networking and service delivering technologies. . Covers hot topics such as intelligent user profiling, proactive service selection, context-aware service provisioning and ubiquitous computing. . Introduces seemingly diverse technologies to show how they will play together to create a new user experience. . Includes case studies to illustrate the theory. This invaluable guide will provide telecoms engineers in R&D departments, CTOs, and telecoms managers as well as academic researchers in electrical, electronic engineering and telecommunications with a comprehensive understanding of next generation mobile system technologies and services.
