List of Contributors. Introduction (Edgar Auslander and Alan Gatherer). The History of DSP Based Artchitectures in Second Generation Cellular Handsets (Alan Gatherer et al). The Role of Programmable DSPs in Dual Mode (2G and 3G) Handsets N2 - With the introduction of WAP in Europe and I-mode in Japan, mobile terminals took their first steps out of the world of mobile telephony and into the world of mobile data. At the same time, the shift from 2nd generation to 3rd generation cellular technology has increased the potential data rate available to mobile users by tenfold as well as shifting data transport from circuit switched to packet data. These fundamental shifts in nature and the quantity of data available to mobile users has led to an explosion in the number of applications being developed for future digital terminal devices ER -
