4
Location Services (ATIS)
• Presentations
– Contributions GSC13-GRSC6-20r1, -24
• Summary
– TIA has undertaken work related to High Rate Data Packet (HRDP)
– It appears that five (5) satellite systems could be utilized
– OMA Location Working Group is doing core work specifying location
enablers that can be used by 3GPP2
– Continue to work with the regulatory bodies that mandate accuracy
requirements
– Work to achieve robust specifications/standards for implementations
that will handle the anticipated increase in demand for Location
Services
• Resolution
– No resolution exists for this HIS; GRSC recommends eliminating this
as an HIS
5
Wireless access including RLANs &
ad-hoc Networking (ISACC)
• Presentations
– Contributions GSC13-GRSC6-08, -15 (-14, -18 for information)
• Summary
– There are many challenges in this area
• Interference
• Need to maintain and synchronize standards ensuring national and
regional standards do not conflict
• Need to standardize ad-hoc networks
• Title of HIS should be narrowed to provide clarification
• Resolution
– A drafting group was charged with reviewing the Resolution regarding
Broadband Services in Rural and Remote Areas starting with the
baseline text contained in GSC13-GRSC6-10. Following review, the
revisions were approved for submission to the closing plenary.
6
Mobile Multimedia Broadcast &
Multicast (TIA)
• Presentations
– Contributions GSC13-GRSC6-16r1, -19, -25 (-17 for information)
• Summary
– Collaboration with this HIS is moving away from the physical layer
and is moving up to the level of interaction of applications and content
– This HIS is very important to GSC
• Resolution
– Resolution GSC12/13, Mobile Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast,
was reviewed, reaffirmed without changes and will be submitted to
the closing plenary.
7
Reconfigurable Radio Systems (RRS)
(TIA)
• Presentations
– Contributions GSC13-GRSC6-22, -26
• Summary
– Several PSOs appear to be interested in this topic
– Two (2) significant reports are being worked by the ITU
– Digital RF for global frequency flexibility will be a challenge to
implement
• Resolution
– A drafting group was charged with reviewing the Resolution regarding
Software Defined Radios (SDR) starting with the baseline text
contained in GSC13-GRSC6-09. Following review, the revisions
were approved for submission to the closing plenary.
8
Ground-based Air Traffic
Management Equipment (ETSI)
• Presentations
– Contributions GSC13-GRSC6-21r1, -23r1
• Summary
– ETSI reported the key challenge is that the work in the aeronautical
sector requires significant co-operation efforts inside and outside of
Europe
– In the USA, this area is being addressed by ARINC and the FCC and
does not require additional involvement
– Consideration could be given to passenger-to-ground
communications
• Resolution
– No resolution exists for this HIS; GRSC recommends eliminating this
as an HIS
9
GRSC Discussion and Output on
IMT issues
• At the 13th Global Standard Collaboration meeting in Boston, July 14-17,
2008, the Participating Standards Organizations (PSO) discussed the
development of IMT within ITU-R Study Group 5 in Circular Letter
5/LCCE/3 for contributions to the next Study Group 5 Working Party
Structure. The PSOs understand that SG5 includes the work of all
aspects of IMT (IMT-2000 maintenance, IMT-Advanced evolution and
documentation, spectrum sharing studies, etc.). The group also
understands the significant role the ITU has played in the success of the
3rd generation mobile radio networks being defined under ITU-R
Resolution 57 (RA-07). Realizing that Study Group 5 has eliminated all
overlapping work between IMT and other dissimilar radio systems, the
PSOs agreed:
– That a dedicated working structure for IMT (currently WP5D) is
desirable to continue its work with speed and expertise
– To encourage to recommend to their members to respond to
5/LCCE/3, the circular letter of ITU
10
Task Force Reports (1)
• Presentations
– Contributions GSC13-GRSC6-02, GSC13-PLEN-64r1
• Summary of IMT Task Force
– The PSOs have met during the 2nd meeting of ITU-R WP 5D in Dubai
and exchanged emails
– The Task Force proposes that GSC endorses the continuation of the
IMT Task Force to exchange information and views on candidate
radio interface technologies for IMT-Advanced
– The Task Force also proposes that GSC requests its PSOs to review
their national/regional activities and to report on their progress at the
next GSC meeting
11
Task Force Reports (2)
•
Summary of Radio Microphone Task Force
– The PSOs have met via phone and exchanged emails
– Many changes in standardization have been made by ETSI
– All Task Force members contacted have expressed concern with the
changes from analogue to digital television and the effects on the
current sharing of this spectrum by radio microphones
– There is interest in learning more about ATIS’ work related to
Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
•
GRSC-6 recommends maintaining both Task Forces
12
World Radiocommunication
Conference (WRC) Update
• Presentations
– Contributions GSC13-GRSC6-11, -12
• Summary
– Some objectives of RA-07 include: reviewing methods and procedures
related to ITU-R Study Groups, establishing SG work programme and
structure, approval of ITU-R Recommendations on IMT-2000
– Five (5) new or revised ITU-R Resolutions were highlighted as of particular
interest to GSC
– Key statistics relating WRC-07 were reviewed as well as results and
challenges
– Expected timetable in preparation for WRC-11 is as follows:
•
•
•
•
•

GSC12/08 (PPDR) has been withdrawn
– Resolution GSC12/10 was reviewed, revised and approved by
GRSC-6 as the Resolution to be submitted to the closing plenary for

mechanisms within the ITS Task Force, the GRSC agreed that
implementation of such recommendations would be needed prior to
the next GSC in view of the high level of ITS standardization activities
world-wide.
