ABSTRACT:
In this talk, we will provide an overview of technology evolution towards 4G. We also outline candidate technologies for 4G wireless standard. We
will identify key research issues that need to be addressed to improve
spectral efficiency in wireless networks for improved data rate and
Quality of Service (QoS). We then focus on cross layer techniques for
QoS and present a novel approach to scheduling in wireless networks.
