One of the strongest driving forces for wireless technology evolution today is 4G (4th Generation), also known as IMT-Advanced (International Mobile Telecommunications), which promises to encompass two main legacy technologies among others, namely cellular (i.e., 3GPP LTE-Advanced) and WLAN (i.e., IEEE 802.16m). 4G promises to deliver by 2015 high-speed wireless data transmission services at much lower costs and latencies while providing much higher rates, spectrum efficiencies and coverage. In order to ensure the most cost/spectrum-efficient deployment of these new-generation wireless technologies in a few years from now, their performance has to be reliably assessed by simulations in the more realistic way in order to identify i) areas where enhancements can be made, ii) introduce these enhancements and evaluate them, iii) support equipment manufacturers in their standardization effort to integrate these enhancements if deemed valuable, iv) compare the two most important 4G technologies (cf. above) due for deployment on a fair basis, using a common simulation platform, and assess the impact of their co-existence and the migration from one technology to another on operators. It is from this perspective, precisely, that Huawei Canada mandates the applicant's team to develop in the framework of this proposal, a novel common simulation platform design for the TDD (time division duplex) versions of next-generation 4G wireless technologies.

当今无线技术发展的最强劲驱动力之一是4G(第四代)，也被称为IMT-Advanced(国际移动电信)，它承诺涵盖两种主要的遗留技术，即蜂窝(即3GPP LTE-Advanced)和WLAN(即IEEE 802.16m)。4G承诺到2015年以更低的成本和延迟提供高速无线数据传输服务，同时提供更高的速率、频谱效率和覆盖范围。为了确保在未来几年内以最具成本/频谱效率的方式部署这些新一代无线技术，必须以更现实的方式通过模拟可靠地评估它们的性能，以便确定i)哪些领域可以进行增强，ii)引入并评估这些增强，iii)支持设备制造商在标准化工作中整合这些增强(如果认为有价值)，iv)比较两种最重要的4G技术(参见)，并评估它们共存以及从一种技术迁移到另一种技术对运营商的影响。正是从这个角度出发，华为加拿大公司委托申请者团队在该提案的框架内，为下一代4G无线技术的TDD(时分双工)版本开发一种新颖的通用仿真平台设计。
