ABSTRACT : Mobile communication systems revolutionized the way people communicate. Evolution of wireless access technologies is about to reach its fourth generation.
Looking

technologies have followed different evolutionary paths aimed at unified target : Performance and Efficiency in high mobile environment. The first generation (1G) has fulfilled the basic mobile voice, while the second generation
(2G) has
introduced capacity and coverage, later the third generation (3G) which has a quest for data at
It wont be just the phone networks that need to evolve, the increased traffic load on the internet as a whole will need to expand, with faster backbones and oceanic links requiring major upgrade. Bandwidth will always be the limiting factor in the development of applications and devices. Hence the short fall of 3G networks is clear, its just not fast enough, offering 384kbps doesn’t meet the requirements of what the users expects now a days. The evolution from 3G to 4G will be driven by services that offer better quality (video or sound)

realized
by the fourth generation. The fourth
generation (4G) will provide access to wide range of telecommunication services, advanced mobile services, supported by fixed networks, along with support of low to high mobility services and wide range of data rates.
Technology companies with 4G networks are knocking the door and mobile operators are beginning to answer. 4G networks and Next Generation Networks (NGNs) are becoming fast and very cost effective solutions for those wanting an IP built high speed data capacities in the mobile network.
INTRODUCTION : The fourth generation of mobile networks will truly turn the current mobile phone networks in to end to end IP based networks. If 4G is implemented correctly, it will truly harmonise global roaming, super high speed connectivity on every mobile communication device in the world. 4G is set to deliver 100mbps to a roaming mobile device globally and up to 1gbps to a stationary device.
Some possible standards for the 4G system are 802.20, WiMAX, HSDPA, UMTS and proprietary networks from Arraycomm Inc., Navini Networks, Flarion Technologies and 4G efforts in India, China, and Japan.

The fourth generation promises to fulfill the goal of PCC (personal computing and communication) a vision that affordably provides high data rates everywhere over a wireless network. The provision of megabit/s data rates to thousands of radio and mobile terminals per square kilometer presents several challenges. The key enablers are: • Sufficient spectrum, with associated sharing mechanisms. • Coverage with two technologies: parent (2G, 3G, and
