  1. Mobile Wireless Internet Forum(MWIF)Technical Committee Status Report TSG-S Napa, California 20 January 2000

  2. Charter • Influence & align standards with target architecture • Promote interoperability of IP equipment, services, sub-systems, client & service systems with target mobile architecture • Promote development & investment in target architecture • Optimize applications available to customers

  3. Background - Technical Committee • Workshop 17-18 January • Plenary 18 January • Attendance • 100+ at meeting • 40 companies represented • Operators from Japan, Korea, Europe, North America, Australia • Mobile Telephony Manufacturers from all Regions • Internet Manufactures (Sun, Cisco, 3Com) • Content Providers (e.g., Yahoo, Microsoft) • 3GPP2 and 3GPP Members

  4. Technical Committee • Mission Statement (paraphrased) • Drive a Single Global Open Internet-based Architecture that enables seamless integration of mobile telephony and IP-based Services (voice, data, video, web, etc.) for mobile wireless networks and is independent of the air interface technology • Principles were defined • Goals were defined • Four Ad-Hocs formed • Architecture - Chair, Orange • Standards Interface - Chair, IBM • IP to BTS - Chair, Sun • Requirements - Chair, Vodafone/AirTouch

  5. Where Are Current Initiatives? • Other Factors • IETF (e.g., MGCP) • Carrier Networks • TINA-C • ITU-T SG-16 H.323 • ITU-T SG-11 • ATM Forum • 3GPP2 • TSG-P PN-4286 • TSG-S IP for IOS • TSG-N Exploratory • 3GPP • TSG-SA All-IP • Evolved GPRS All-IP Standard • 3GPP2 • TSG-S All-IP Ad-Hoc 3G.IP?

  7. MWIF Technical Committee Timeline • 11 February - Conference Call • 28-29 February - Technical Committee Meeting in Bath, U.K. • Subsequent Meetings Rotate to Pacific Rim, North America, Europe • Expected Deliverables • Finalized Reference Architecture - Feb/Mar 2000 • Finalized Interface / Functional definitions - 2Q, 2000 • Submissions to TSG-S and TSG-SA to begin 1Q/2Q, 2000 Deliverables will Address: • Architecture gap analysis with respect to other standards’ work • Extension of IP to BTS - Maximize number of IP based elements and interfaces • Inter-technology mobility management

  8. Key Issue • How Do 3GPP2 (3GPP) and MWIF Interoperate? • Acceptance of MWIF • Contributions • Member Companies - Group Contributions • MWIF Joins 3GPP2, similar to CDG • Workload - Scheduling - Resources

  9. More Background

  10. Why is MWIF Different? • MWIF is Operator/Service Provider driven and will specifically address their needs & concerns • Infrastructure Cost Implications • Multi-vendor requirements • Quick and independent service creation / deployment • MWIF will bring together the mobile wireless and Internet players • to enable early deployment of seamless, economic IP-based Mobile wireless network (cost savings) • to ensure target wireless architecture is aligned with the Internet • to establish co-operative efforts to jointly deploy feature-rich end services (enhanced revenues from IP-based applications) • Target Industry Sectors include: • Wireless Operators • Internet Service Providers • Internet Application & Content Developers • Internet Infrastructure & Mobile Telephony Network Element Suppliers

  11. The Mobile Wireless Internet Forum will: • be Open to all operators, service providers and suppliers who have a desire to produce a global, common vision for an Internet-based mobile wireless network and related service capabilities • Act as a driver that is complementary to the existing standards working groups and will provide a common voice of global operators • Ensure that key regional and global standards groups address requirements that global operators see critical to early and economic deployment of IP-based mobile wireless network • will be mobile technology neutral and not biased towards any particular standards
