Abstract---Due to the increase in demand for speed, multimedia support and other resources, the wireless world is looking forward for a new generation technology to replace the third generation. This is where the fourth generation wireless communication comes into play. 4G wireless communication is expected to provide better speed, high capacity, lower cost and IP based services. The main aim of 4G wireless is to replace the current core technology with a single universal technology based on IP. Yet there are several challenges that inhibit the progress of 4G and researchers throughout the world are contributing their ideas to solve these challenges. This project deals with understanding the features and challenges, the proposed architectural frameworks, multimedia support and multiple access schemes for 4G.
I. INTRODUCTION.
T his wireless communication filed is a very fast growing area with the number of users and their demand for better resources increasing day by day. The R&D departments of many companies are working on a future technology that can meet these demands at a lower cost. 3G is necessary but not sufficient for the demands today. So the world is taking its leap towards the fourth generation wireless communication that promises to bring an end to most of the problems faced. 4G wireless is expected to be launched by 2011, but there are numerous challenges faced by researchers in achieving the desired features. Most of the ongoing researches are in the area of distributed computing, mobile agents, multimedia support etc. Some other research area is to improve the Quality of Service from the viewpoint of both the user and service providers. 4G wireless infrastructures are expected to be deployed in an environment where many other types of wireless and wired communication systems already exist. This paper is organized as follows. Section II provides a
