Abstract

Mobile communications, which enable anytime and anywhere ubiquitous connectivity, have been an integrated part of our daily life. With the widespread adoption of smart mobile devices such as smart phones, tablets and ultra-portable laptops and the subsequent explosive expansion of bandwidth-hungry mobile applications, wireless communication traffic continues to grow rapidly. As voice traffic grows at a steady rate, the major traffic explosion comes from data communications. According to Cisco’s Visual Networking Index, data traffic has been more than doubled in both 2011 and 2012. Projection through 2018 expects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 50 % [1]. To sustain such a traffic growth and in the meantime to improve user experience and network coverage, continuous innovations on wireless data communication technologies are required.
