downstream activities of the specification
developed by 3GPPs for ARIB Standards
The IMT-Advanced Subcommittee is conducting
technical studies on IMT-Advanced and promotes
its standardization through contributions to ITU-R
and other activities
The Radio Interface Technology Study Group and
its Evaluation Group established under the IMTAdvanced Subcommittee are in action towards
the submission of candidate radio interface

Strategic Direction
The Radio Interface Technology Study
Group is under discussion to prepare draft
proposal(s) of IMT-Advanced radio
interface technology with two working
groups (3GPP LTE-Advanced and IEEE
802.16m bases)
The proposal(s) will be submitted to ITU-R
through Japan’s national process
The ARIB Evaluation Group registered with
ITU-R will develop and submit an own
evaluation report

Resolution GSC-13/01 on IMT
standardization (1)
Continuing Cooperation on IMT Standardization
Recognizing:
1)
that Resolution ITU-R 56 describes a naming scheme for International Mobile
Telecommunications whereby “IMT-Advanced” applies to those systems,
system components, and related aspects that include new radio interface(s)
that support the new capabilities of systems beyond IMT-2000;
2)
that ITU-R Study Group 5 and ITU-T Study Group 19 are continuing studies
on IMT (encompassing both IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced);
3)
that ITU-R Study Group 5 has initiated a process for the development of
terrestrial radio interface technologies that will meet the technical and
operational requirements of IMT-Advanced;
4)
that core network(s) are increasingly becoming access technology agnostic;
5)
that IMT and other rapidly emerging wireless broadband access technologies
will make high-speed wireless access services available where this was not
previously possible, thereby enabling access to advanced telecommunication,
computing and entertainment services and capabilities, not only for urban but
also for rural and other low density environments;
6)
that WRC-07 identified some additional spectrum for the implementation of
IMT systems;
7)
that work on evolution of the radio technologies may converge to use similar
techniques; and
8)
that there are related international, regional and national research activities in
this area.

Resolution GSC-13/01 on IMT
standardization (2)
Continuing Cooperation on IMT Standardization
Resolves:
1) to encourage 3GPP, 3GPP2, IEEE, Participating Standards
Organizations (PSOs) and others to continue to work on enhancing
the IMT standards as an essential part of future telecommunication,
computing and entertainment standards;
2) to encourage the harmonization of candidate proposals for the radio
transmission technologies for IMT and related networking standards;
3) to invite 3GPP, 3GPP2, PSOs and others to take care of the evolution
of the current systems and the long-term evolution for such systems
taking into account copyrights, working procedures, IPR aspects etc.
and report to the next meeting for review;
4) 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;
5) to encourage the Task Force under the GRSC to actively help in the
exchange of information and views mentioned in 4), with the goal of
consensus building; and
6) to review this Resolution at future GSC meetings as required.
