Beginning with an overall system description which illustrates the new underlying network technologies (such as active networks, ad hoc networks), 4G Mobile Technology describes powerful middleware solutions and service delivery mechanisms. The authors explain how personalization, mobile middleware, peer to peer services, simplicity, semantic computing, and content-awareness fit into this new concept and why they will become a necessity for future mobile services.
