Abstract
Today we are witnessing a true revolution in wireless communications. The history and technology behind mobile communications is fascinating, and Bell Labs has had a major role in launching this multi-billion dollar industry. In this paper, we take a brief look at the history of mobile communications — including many Bell Labs milestones and contributions to wireless technology — and provide a glimpse into the future. We also summarize the development of the industry and the path leading to today's imminent launch of third-generation (3G) systems. Finally, we identify and present in detail several selected enabling technologies, along with breakthrough Bell Labs research in these areas.This publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
