Abstract
Radio or wireless has been the main system of the general communication engineering since the dawn of that discipline, as seen in the efforts of Tesla and Marconi. Nevertheless, during the past 2 decades, we have witnessed an extraordinary growth pace and innovation in the area of wireless technology. During that time, the mobile phone has been promoted from its role of amenity to the role of necessity, while the Wireless LAN (WLAN) has been put forward to be the commonly used gate to access Internet. These two examples illustrate how much the end consumer has been affected by the wireless developments, but the overwhelming wireless growth has featured many engineering milestones and intellectual advances.

We use the phrase very-long-term evolution in order to avoid confusion with the Long Term Evolution (LTE) used in 3GPP. The time frame behind the phrase very-long-term is more than 10 years.
