Abstract
This chapter includes a summary of the history and recent
trends in wireless communications especially on mobile
cellular systems. The basic transmission problems and
solutions are summarized in the physical and network
layers. The fundamental limits define the upper
performance bounds for spectral and energy efficiency.
Regulation and standardization is needed so that the
finite frequency resource is used efficiently, and the
systems work together even in different continents. We
expect that in the future the radio systems will be more
intelligent but the level of cognition will depend on the
available energy resources.
