"The past few years have seen worldwide standardization activity of third-generation (3G) wireless systems. Standard bodies such as the Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and Third-Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) have been developing 3G standards. The 3G systems are intended to deliver high data rates and are expected to handle data and multimedia applications in addition to voice. Large-scale deployment of 3G systems is expected to begin during 2002. The first releases of the 3G standards can deliver data rates up to 384 kbits with widearea coverage and 2 Mbits for indoor environments. Furthermore, evolution of the 3G systems, delivering peakdata rates of up to 10 Mbits in the downlink direction, are already being standardized. One of the enabling technologies to make these high data rates available is the advance in signal processing. The standards developed by both 3GPP and 3GPP2 already include support for a number of advanced signal processing techniques, such as multiuser detection, smart antennas, and advanced coding techniques. Concurrently, much recent work in standardization has focused on noncellular technologies such as Bluetooth and wireless local-area network technologies (e.g., HIPERLAN, IEEE 802.11). Such systems are intended to deliver data rates higher than 3G cellular systems under the constraints of limited mobility and indoor operation. These types of technologies and their operating environments present a set of challenges to which advanced signal processing methods are used to address."
