Abstract

The future mobile networks facing many challenges and to cope these challenges, different standards and project has been proposed so far. Most recently Cognitive Networks has opened a new ground to present suitable architecture and mechanism for these challenges. The objective of this paper is to identify and discuss the challenges to the future mobile networks and to discuss some workable solutions to these challenges. Finally, on the basis of discussion a simple flexible network architecture is proposed.
