Abstract

The upcoming 3rd generation mobile communications system UMTS/IMT-2000 will provide high data rates and advanced means for service generation. In conjunction with so-called smart phones a cass of entirely new services, exploiting mobility and multimedia will become possible.

We present a framework for providing such services, as well as their key requirements and concepts to meet these criteria.
