GSC IMT Task Force Report
Kohei SATOH
Managing Director, ARIB
Geneva, 13-16 July 2009
Fostering worldwide interoperability
Highlight of Current Activities
GSC Task Force on IMT standardization
was created under the GRSC by Resolution
of GSC-12 (Resolution GSC-12/01).
An objective of the Task Force is to
exchange information and views on
candidate radio interface technologies for
IMT-Advanced among PSOs allowing for
efficient, effective and timely development
of the IMT-Advanced standard.
Activities would be expected to be carried
out during the ITU-R WP5D, 3GPP/3GPP2
and other regional meetings (e.g., CJK
B3G WG meeting, IMT-WG of AWF, etc.).

Strategic Direction
The Task Force should be encouraged to
actively help in the exchange of
information and views with the goal of
consensus building which is performed
with the objective of achieving global
harmonization and having the potential for
wide industry support for the radio
interfaces of IMT-Advanced.
Activities of the Task Force should be
continued to develop detailed
specifications of the radio interfaces for
IMT-Advanced.

Challenges
Candidate radio interface technologies (RITs) will be
evaluated in the Step 4 of IMT-Advanced radio interface
development process.
The ITU-R membership, standards organizations, and
other organizations were invited to proceed with the
evaluation. 12 evaluation groups were registered with
the ITU-R.
Coordination among evaluation groups is strongly
encouraged to facilitate comparison and consistency of
results, to assist ITU-R in developing an understanding
of differences in evaluation results achieved by the
independent evaluation groups and to form some
preliminary consensus on the evaluation results.
Pre-coordination or discussions towards coordination
should be carried out through the Task Force activities.

Next Steps/Actions
The Task Force proposes that GSC
endorses the further continuation of the
IMT Task Force to exchange information
and views with goal of consensus
building for the radio interfaces of IMTAdvanced,
and
requests its PSOs to review their
national/regional activities and to report
on their progress to the Task Force and
at the next GSC meeting.

Proposed Modification of
Resolution GSC-13/01
Considering recent activities in ITUR WP5D, 3GPP/3GPP2, PSOs and
others on IMT-Advanced, Resolution
GSC-13/01 (Continuing Cooperation
on IMT Standardization) should be
updated.

Activities of the Asia-Pacific
Telecommunity Wireless Forum (AWF)
A major objective of the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity
Wireless Forum (AWF) is to promote new wireless
applications in the Asia-Pacific region and in this regard:
The AWF IMT Working Group (WG-IMT) reviews the activities on the
future development of IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced developed in the
relevant ITU-R Working Parties
WG-IMT develops views on issues arising from the review of the
service and technology related aspects and the progress of the
enhancement and evolution of IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced by these
ITU-R Working Parties and ascertains their applicability to the region
The AWF Spectrum Working Group (WG-SPEC) identifies the spectrum
requirements for new radio technologies and develops plans for
harmonized spectrum usage for radiocommunication systems in the
region. Studies are proceeding on frequency arrangements for the
698-806 and 2300-2400 MHz bands.
WG-SPEC also develops optimum sharing methodologies between
radio services and methods ensuring compatibility between systems.
Studies are about to commence on Software Defined Radio and
Cognitive Radio Systems.
