A SURVEY ON 4G NETWORKS AND COMPOSITE RADIO ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

In the wireless communications community we are witnessing more and more the existence of the composite radio environment (CRE) and as a consequence the need for reconfigurability concepts based on cognitive, cooperative, and opportunistic algorithms. This paper describes the fundamentals of 4G networks and CRE by designing a management system for the CRE (MS-CRE) component which attached to each network. It also presents an analysis of protocol booster as an element of the reconfiguration in 4G networks. Based on experimental research for the networks, it shows that protocol boosters have potential to improve protocol performance.
