Fourth generation wireless networks are expected to provide comprehensive and secure IP-based solutions, facilitating existing and emerging services such as voice, data, streamed multimedia, sensory, e-health, and social networking. It is expected that 4G will be provided to users on an "Anytime, Anywhere" basis and at much higher data rates compared to the current and previous mobile generations. 

Fourth-Generation Wireless Networks: Applications and Innovations, with an important research contribution by Gianmarco Panza of CEFRIEL, presents a vision for the coming years in terms of emerging fourth generation (4G) wireless technology trends and best practices.
