Key Attributes and Applications of 4G

There is a widely accepted vision of a system that enables an "Always Best Connected (ABC)" mode of communication. This concept, generally accepted as 4G, presupposes a heterogeneous communication landscape comprising different wireless access systems integrated on a platform, where the user enjoys undeterred connectivity and ubiquitous access to applications and services. Such features and services can be incorporated in an educational environment to foster the realization of educational objectives. The 4G features, if integrated with mobile learning capabilities can go a long way in enhancing Distance Education schemes. This book explores the 4G Infrastructure and Enhanced Mobile Learning; seeing an integration of both technologies as an effective tool for Open and Distance Education. The book proposes that M-learning integrated on 4G platforms, provides the best learning method, not just for Open and Distance Education, but but also for conventional classroom oriented mode of learning, to make learning more exciting and interactive.
