A new paradigm for IP-based cellular networks

Flash-OFDM is an air interface technology that is greater than the sum of its parts. It enables the Internet's seamless, affordable extension to the wide-area mobile environment in an IP-transparent fashion and without modification to existing applications. It also adapts wireless to the Internet-not vice versa-so that the mobile and fixed Internet realms remain essentially the same. The pure IP-based cellular network architecture described is a natural consequence of the technology. It is a straightforward, consistent, and effective architecture that stands in marked contrast to the evolving 3G all-IP cellular architectures.
