The Virtual Centre of Excellence in Mobile and Personal Communications-Mobile VCE-is a not-for-profit company established as a joint initiative of the mobile communications industry and leading research universities, with support from the UK government. It is an acknowledged success of the government's Foresight exercise. Its innovative approach provides companies with a highly cost-leveraged means of accessing the best of the academic base to undertake international-level, industry-led research to underpin the future development of wireless communications as it converges with the Internet and broadcast industries. - Author(s): S.R.

Working within the Mobile VCE a team formed from several leading UK university departments, in association with industry representatives, has been addressing challenges of the modern wideband radio environment. A focus of the team's work has been to generate new mobile radio data-centric architectures capable of delivering a high quality of service and a high network capacity while coping with the little-known outdoor-to-indoor interface. In order to address this latter interface, unique propagation data have been captured and new channel models have been proposed to describe their behaviour. Finally, performance predictions have been conducted using a new simulation platform. - Author(s): J.M. Irvine ; R. Tafazolli ; I.S. Groves

Future mobile networks will have to provide enhanced services to increasing numbers of mobiles at low cost and in a competitive environment. To answer this challenge, network operators will need an advanced toolset of network control techniques, and this paper describes the research by Mobile VCE (Virtual Centre of Excellence) to provide these. - Author(s): N.

Future multimedia and Internet services will have more complex characteristics than the traditional service types. Accurate planning of mobile networks requires accurate prediction of traffic flows, which involves complex relationships between the services themselves, the mobility of users, and the business environment. This paper describes the work of the Mobile VCE services programme on new traffic models that take all three factors into account. - Source: Electronics & Communication Engineering Journal, Volume 12, Issue 6, page: 280 –280

Mobile phones of the future will be the access terminals to many different types of service. This will mean that they must be able to reconfigure themselves to support the differing service requirements placed upon them. At the root of this ability to reconfigure must be components and architectures that allow such flexibility, and so the key objective of the work programme on terminals within the Virtual Centre of Excellence in Mobile and Personal Communications (Mobile VCE) has been the design, definition and performance evaluation of key components and architectures for future generation reconfigurable terminals. - Author(s): B.G. Evans and K. Baughan

As the Virtual Centre of Excellence in Mobile and Personal Communications (Mobile VCE) moves into its second core research programme it has been decided to set up a fourth generation (4G) Visions Group aimed at harmonising the research work across the work areas and amongst the numerous researchers working on the programme. This paper outlines the initial work of the group and provides a start to what will become an evolving vision of 4G. A short history of previous generations of mobile communications systems and a discussion of the limitations of third generation (3G) systems are followed by a vision of 4G for 2010 based around five elements: fully converged services, ubiquitous mobile access, diverse user devices, autonomous networks and software dependency. This vision is developed in more detail from a technology viewpoint into the key areas of networks and services, software systems and wireless access. It has been based upon a set of user scenarios that have been developed elsewhere in the Mobile VCE but which are summarised in the paper. - Source: Electronics & Communication Engineering Journal, Volume 12, Issue 6, page: 304 –304
