Outline of an Open Mobile Radio Access Network

An open mobile radio access network is described, which differs considerably from current networks in structure, function and in the way it is operated. A flexible radio transmission prin ciple, novel in telecommunica tions, and brokerage of spectrum and wired resources lead to network architectures and characteristics which permit simple access for users and businesses, n egotiable bandwidth and scalable QoS. Most important however, a high degree of connectivity is introduced, which is particularly beneficial in the area of the heterogeneous requirements of wireless LANs and ad hoc networks.
