Prospects for the Future Mobile Communications • As voice is concerned, “anywhere access” is fully realized with 2-G mobiles, PABX phones, and cordless telephones. • As we enter into knowledge-based information society at the turn of the century, main focus on communication is being shifted towards ubiquitous high speed wireless multimedia/internet. “Anywhere access for data” will be the major topics for the next generation mobile systems like IMT-2000. • But, nobody is sure how much high speed data services will be needed when one is on move. While it is feasible to predict the ever-growing needs for high speed data, wherever one is located stationary. Mobility on fixed network is as important as that on mobile network.
Converging Wireless Access as Last Mile Access • Public Land Mobile Systems like 2-G and 3-G : • Advantage : “wherever service” possible • Disadvantage : limited data speed and capacity, and relatively high tariffs • No tariffsand high data speed • Broadband Wireless LAN*: within campus or large premise, and offices • Home R.F.* or Personal LAN like Bluetooth : at home or on personal move • SRD (Short Range Communication Device) • Low Tariffs and high data speed, where the fixed system is not conveniently accessible • Broadband Fixed Wireless Access* • Broadband Satellite Internet Service* • Low tariffs and very high data speed • SCS (Stratospheric Communication System)* * possible application of microwave and mm-wave technology

Requirements for Next Generation(4-G) System • High speed data rate : • Vehicular : 2 Mbps • Pedestrian/ Indoor : 20 Mbps • IP based network structure : QoS guaranteed • Next generation Internet support : IPv6, Mobile IP • High Capacity : 5 ~ 10 times to 3-G • Lower system cost • Seamless services with fixed, and private networks like Wireless LAN, BWA etc. • Frequency band : 3 ~ 8 GHz, possibly higher • Frequency Spectrum Requirements : • ITU-R recommends additional 180 MHz bands for IMT-2000 services by 2010. • For 4-G, conservative estimates is at least 1,000 MHz by 2015
Requirement for Future Spectrum Management • Facing More and More Complications • Ever Increasing Demands and Values for Frequency Spectrum • Convergence of Diverse Services • Differentiation among Services or Systems ambiguous • Especially for the 4-G Services • Appearance of New Unpredicted Services • Flexibility of Spectrum Use needed • Globalization and De-regularization Trends • Need of Long-and–Medium Term Frequency Spectrum Planning
Status of Telecommunications in Korea • Population : 46 Millions / 99,300 sq. km • Seoul : 11.0 Millions / 605 sq. km • Pusan : 4.0 Millions / 436 sq. km • Status of Telecommunications • - Wireline Operators : • KT (Korea Telecom) : Major PTT, IMT-2000 • DACOM : PSDN, International & Long Distance • Hanaro : Local Loops, WLL • Onse Telecom : International & Long Distance • - Wireless Operators : • SK Telecom : Cellular, IMT-2000 • Shinsegi Telecom : Cellular • KT Freetel, KTM.com & LG Telecom : PCS • 8 Regional Pager Operators : Pager • TRS Operators ( 2 national, and 9 regional) : Digital TRS • 3 Mobile Data Operators : Wireless Data • Regulator : • MIC(Ministry of Information & Communication )
MIC’s Policy on Spectrum Management • Provision of Spectrum Resources for Future Demands • Technology Development and Incentive to Utilize for Higher Frequency Bands like Millimeter-wave Band • Publishing Long-term Frequency Planning • Efficiency Spectrum Utilization for Existing Bands of Use • Narrower Channel Bandwidth • Frequency Spectrum Sharing for Different Services • Trunking for Similar Services from Different Entities/Organizations • Clean Electromagnetic Environment
Maximization of Spectrum Resource Utilization • Improvement of Spectrum Allocation Method • Adoption of Global Standards or Trends in Spectrum Allotment • Spectrum Reassignment through Actual Frequency Usage Statistics • Spectrum Allocation by Market-based Mechanism • Public Access to Current Frequency Database • Electronic Filing System for Procedure of Radio Station Licensing
Current Spectrum Allocations Policy • Appraisal of Proposals with Pre-fixed Pricing(hybrid form) • Based on Economic Values and Technical Effectiveness • Existing Competitions in the Market • Needs for Accelerating Commercial Services Price Range Pre-fixed, and Fund Contributed for Telecommunication Development • Exclusive Right to Use for Specific Services, and Renewable with Additional Prices after Licensing Period of less than 20 yrs
Allocation by Conventional Review Process with No Price • Based on Effectiveness of Intended Spectrum Use • Fairness and Conformity to Public Interest • Needs of Applicants • Technical and Financial Capabilities of Applicants • Spectrum Auction (X) • Once considered, but discarded due to negative reactions of general public, and many other adverse effects
Status of Hot Service Licensing's • IMT-2000 Services ( Method 1) • Will license 3 Operators, each with 2*20 MHz Duplex Bands • 1 for cdma2000 system, 1 for W-CDMA system, and 1 with option to take either • Telecom. Development Fund ranged between 1 billon ~ 1.1 billion US$ • Commercial Services due by May, 2,002, but possibilities of delay • Result among 4 Applicants: ( Dec., 2,000) - 2 W-CDMA Licenses to SK Telecom and KT, with fund of 1.1 billion US$, each • - a cdma2000 applicant disqualified, and procedure • postponed

Final Remarks • Each country has its own regulation and customs for frequency allocation, but globalization and roaming requirements ask for more conformance to global standards. • As demands for frequency use accelerated, harmful interference may occur between neighboring countries unless close frequency planning coordination worked out. • As more diverse services merged vertically or horizontally, spectrum management becomes more complicated. The worldwide study is required to resolve. • Perhaps, economic values of spectrum use may be deemed differently from country to country. Trend is to levy some price tags. • Spectrum cap or specific use of certain bands will be removed for improving flexibility of spectrum utilization.
