Abstract
A new radio access network architecture and a new service concept for a mobile broadband system are
introduced. This concept aims at a new generation of integrated mobile and wireless systems and
networks characterised by an extremely high spectrum efficiency and thus enabling an outstanding low
radio exposure of humans compared to 3G systems under equal conditions. Highest efficiency and lowest
possible transmission power as main targets will be obtained by the use of low power (1 W) pico base
stations using a wireless or mobile broadband air interface and Fixed Wireless Routers (FWR) to trade
the high capacity available from a pico base station against radio coverage range. Base stations and
FWRs are very small in size allowing to closely approach the aim of an invisible infrastructure.
The Wireless Media System (WMS) will provide broadband access to terminals with medium velocity of movement and is embedded into a cellular radio network to support a high terminal velocity with medium transmission rate. An Intelligent Service Control and advanced radio resource management for a power-optimised exploitation of multiple air interfaces substantially contribute to reach the aims of the WMS. Transmission with low power leads to a pico-cellular concept relying essentially on multi-hop communication across wireless bridges/routers and to some extent also on ad-hoc networking. The concept combines broadcast, multicast and single-cast services to minimize the number of transmissions required (and thereby again reduces the radio exposure of humans) to provide the contents asked for by the users. The new concepts to achieve broadband radio coverage in densely populated areas are described and first analysis results of some crucial elements of the WMS are presented.
