ARIB Standards Development for
Broadband Wireless Access systems
Kohei SATOH
Managing Director, ARIB
Geneva, 13-16 July 2009
Fostering worldwide interoperability
Highlight of Current Activities (1)
Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) Sub-committee consists of four
working groups in ARIB. They mainly assume a role in producing
national standards for WiMAX, Next Generation PHS and
IEEE802.20 referring to relevant international standards.
International Relations WG
To establish coordination framework with relevant international
standardization bodies
WiMAX WG
To develop and maintain ARIB standard for mobile WiMAX system and to
liaise with relevant international standard bodies
Next Generation PHS WG
To develop and maintain ARIB standard for Next Generation PHS system and
to liaise with relevant international standardization body
(note: PHS MOU Group has changed its name to XGP, eXtended Global
Platform in April 2009, however, there is no influence on the naming of
“Next Generation PHS” in ARIB at present.)
802.20 WG
To develop and maintain ARIB standard for IEEE802.20 TDD Wideband and
625k-MC Modes and to liaise with relevant international standardization
body

Highlight of Current Activities (2)
Development of standards
Standards consist of national regulatory requirements specified in MIC
Ordinance Regulating Radio Equipment and international technical
requirements standardized by international standard bodies.
Three standards were produced under the following titles.
STD-T94 OFDMA Broadband Mobile Wireless Access System (WiMAX applied
in Japan), in December 2007
STD-T95 OFDMA Broadband Wireless Access System (Next Generation PHS),
in December 2007
STD-T97 Mobile Broadband Wireless Access Systems (IEEE 802.20 TDD
Wideband and 625k-MC Modes Application in Japan), in September 2008
Liaison with International standardization organizations
ARIB established the liaisons with the following organizations on
reproducing or their standards into ARIB standards.
WiMAX Forum and IEEE802.16 WG for WiMAX standard
XGP (former PHS MOU Group) for Next Generation PHS standard
IEEE 802.20 WG for IEEE 802.20 standard

Strategic Direction
ARIB standards are developed in line with international standards
as much as possible and the national regulatory requirements are
incorporated into the standards as mandatory requirements.
In case of inconsistency between national requirements and
international standards, the national requirements are to be
incorporated into the international Standards. The national
requirements prevail, however, if the inconsistency is not
resolved.
ARIB agrees with relevant international standard organizations on
reproducing their standard documents into ARIB standards under
the following conditions.
International standard documents are reproduced to ARIB standard on
an as is basis.
ARIB is allowed to copy and distribute the standards through its
website or by photocopy.
International standard organizations disclaims all warranties in relation
to use of their documents.

Challenges
As for WiMAX standard there is a need to compile
international standards since they were developed by two
different organizations. IEEE802.16 defines PHY and MAC
layer specifications, while WiMAX Forum works on profiling
the IEEE802.16 specifications and developing the upper
layer network architecture.
Reproduction of IEEE documents in ARIB standard is
subject to consent made between ARIB and IEEE.
ARIB needs to follow future updates of international
standard documents and to revise ARIB standards
accordingly.

Next Steps/Actions (1)
ARIB standards STD-T94, STD-T95 and STD-T97 are
maintained and updated in the event that the referenced
international standards are modified. Following
modifications are planned to be implemented:
STD-T94
Revise “Mobile System Profile” release 1.0 to release1.5
Revise “End-to-End Network Systems Architecture” release 1.1 to
release 1.5
Add “Mobile Radio Specification”
STD-T95
Revise STD-T95 based on the modification planned by XGP
STD-T97
Add “802.20.2 Protocol Implementation Conformance Statements”
Add “802.20.3 Minimum Performance Specifications”
Amend the “802.20 Management Information Base” chapter
Add information on Standard 802.1Q-2005 amendment for
bridging 802.20 MAC

Next Steps/Actions (2)
Mobile WiMAX Pilot Launch
Pilot Launch - 2/26/2009
UQ Communications launches its pilot service on February 26th, 2009.
The service covers Central Tokyo and Vicinity where about 10% of
Japan's overall population reside (Japan population: 127Million).
About 6,000 Pilot users enjoy free pilot service until the end of June.
WiMAX Devices
UQ prepares data cards and WiMAX/Wi-Fi CPE for pilot users in order
to accelerate the adaption.
Speed and Quality
The measured throughput on the general speed test site reaches:
Download 16Mbps, Upload 3Mbps.
There still are some areas where WiMAX is not available. UQ is
building base stations to fill the gap.

Next Steps/Actions (3)
Mobile WiMAX Commercial Service
Commercial Launch - 7/1/2009
UQ Communications launches its commercial service on July 1st, 2009.
The service coverage is expanded to Greater Tokyo and other biggest
cities (Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Nagoya) where about 20% of Japan's overall
population reside (Japan population: 127Million).
UQ provides flat rate monthly access at 4,480JPY without any long term
contract.
A variety of WiMAX Devices
A variety of WiMAX embedded laptop, data cards and CPEs are expected
to be sold as operator-free devices
Subscribers can select any WiMAX operator including MVNOs after the
device purchase .
MVNOs
The WiMAX network is open to MVNOs, and many MVNOs start its
services.
