Abstract

The future of military wireless networks is changing dramatically along with the commercial wireless communication systems. During the last few years, the mobile wireless industry is spending considerable effort to enhance the technical characteristics of existing second generation systems in the goal of upgrading their service provision capabilities and of promoting effective integration with data transport networks (such as GPRS and UMTS). After giving an overview of GPRS and UMTS technologies, the paper proceed to present a set of generic GPRS and UMTS-based architectures, which can be used as migration steps toward third-generation tactical military networks.
