As the 3G license granting date is drawing close

we have had still clearer knowledge of 3G.The development of 3G will be a long process characteristic of gradual convergence and smooth transition as the relevant data shows that there is still fairly large space of development for 2G. 3G will preferably be first applied in some hot spots and areas with vast traffic.It is not necessary to build 3G networks in large scales at the initial stage

when 3G covering can be accomplished by only some remote base stations.In this article

the important role of remote base stations in the future 3G networking is discussed from network application point of view

the possible problems in its present allocations analyzed and solutions to such issues as network management

station address and network interconnection and interworking suggested.
