Fourth generation (4G) mobile systems are characterized by high-speed data rates from 20 to 100 Mbps, allowing for high-resolution video and television. 4G aims to provide seamless connectivity across heterogeneous networks with high quality of service for multimedia. Key components of 4G include multi-antenna systems, software-defined radio, adaptive modulation and coding, IPv6, and a multi-tier, multi-device network architecture to deliver high speeds and network capacity exceeding 3G.
