IMT-2000 STANDARDIZATION Michael H. CallendarChairman ITU-R Task Group 8/1 WIRELESS ACCESS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY Anywhere - Anytime
IMT-2000 OBJECTIVES • Global Service Capabilities in 2000s • Terrestrial & Satellite Components • Reduce the Telecommunications Gap • Flexible/Seamless Service Provision • Wider Range of Services/Terminals • Fixed/Mobile and Public/Private • Improved Operational Efficiencies
MARKET FACTORS • Market for IMT-2000 is truly Global • Convergence of Wired/Wireless Networks Using Common Platforms • Today’s Mobile Population Is Less Than 10% of That Forecast for 2015 • Regional “Footprints” Today Should Not Unduly Restrict Technologies for a New ITU Standard for the 2000s
IMT-2000 SERVICES • IMT-2000 Dominated by Data Services • Data Communication Between Devices • Internet and Multimedia • High Quality Voice • Flexible Mixed/Multi-Service Provision Based on Compliance to ITU IMT-2000 Recommendations
KEY EXPECTATIONS OF IMT-2000 • Flexibility for Data & Multimedia Services (incl. Internet-based) • Lower Cost Than 2G for “Basic” Services Plus New Service Capabilities • Service Transparency/Global Roaming • Significantly Improved Operational Efficiency (esp. Capacity/Spectrum Efficiency)
FLEXIBILITY • Service Provision • Multiple Service Categories • Higher Bit Rates • Asymmetrical • Multimedia • Network Evolution • Common Platforms • Radio Independence • Mixed 2G and 3G • Spectrum Management • Simple Reuse Plan • Bandwidth on Demand • Coexistence with 2G
OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY • Spectrum Efficiency Improvements • Multiplexing Gain for Mixed Services • Technology Improvements • Space Dimension - Smart Antennas • Interference Cancellation • Coverage Efficiency • Same Sites • Mixed 2G and 3G • Range with Higher Bit Rates • Cost Structure • Optimize Resource Utilization • Bandwidth on Demand • Lower Cost Floor for Basic Services.
3G - ROLE OF THE • World-wide Spectrum Coordination • Policy/Regulatory Harmonization • International Standards for IMT-2000, Including Key Access and Network Interfaces • Provide Foundation, Framework and Catalyst For 3G Convergence Across Regions And Technologies
ROLE OF THE REGIONAL STANDARDS BODIES • Teamwork with the ITU in Development of IMT-2000 Standards • Harmonize Regional Input Contributions to the ITU • Development of Specific Regional Requirements Within the IMT-2000 Family of Systems • Evolution of Regional Pre-IMT-2000 Standards Towards IMT-2000 Capabilities
RTT SELECTION PROCESS Inside ITU Outside ITU Request for Proposals Proposals Develop, Submit & Evaluate Technologies Review Evaluations Consensus building Evaluation Implementation of Recommendations Development of Recommendations
IMPORTANCE OF RADIO CONVERGENCE • Cost Reduction via Economies of Scale • Enabler for “Globally Capable” Terminals (Including Embedded “Invisible” 3G Devices) • Minimizes Global Market Fragmentation • Reduces Barriers to Global Service Provision/Roaming (Technology Islands) • Avoids Precipitating Unnecessary Complexity of Global Wireless Networks and Terminals
CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES • Coexistence with Second Generation Systems, Especially in North America • Vendors’ Desire for IPR Advantage • Negotiating Agreements between Regional/Technology-based “Camps” • Intensity/Diversity of 3G Standards Activities Is Stretching Scarce Resources • ITU Consensus Building Can Be a Catalyst for Win/Win Convergence • Operator Agreement on Value of Convergence Is Key to Success
CONCLUSIONS • ITU/Regional Standards ‘Team ‘ • Radio Convergence - Key to Realizing Cost Reduction/3G Market Growth • Significant Challenges Remain to be Overcome but a “Window Of Opportunity” Exists • Operator Commitment to Convergence Needed to Ensure Window Is Not Missed • Follow IMT-2000 Standards Progress:http://www.itu.int/imt
