Mobile network evolution: a revolution on the move
TLDR
An overview of the evolution in the mobile communications world is given, even though several systems exist that are not interoperable, and at the network level, IP is becoming more important.Abstract:
This article gives an overview of the evolution in the mobile communications world. The uptake of 2G technologies has been tremendous, even though several systems exist that are not interoperable. 3G will bring some convergence, but will not achieve the goal of a single global technology. At the network level, IP is becoming more important. In hot spot environments, WLAN is bringing a complementary technology toward cellular.read more

Cognitive networks
TL;DR: A definition and framework for a novel type of adaptive data network: the cognitive network, in which the collection of elements that make up the network observes network conditions and then, using prior knowledge gained from previous interactions with the network, plans, decides and acts on this information.
