Strategic Topics for 2010
 3 Technical Topics
• The Relationship between Standards and Open Source
• The Relationship between Web 2 0 and IMS Web 2 0
• Smart Grids
 8 Topics impacting ETSI processes
• Actions from Dialogic Member Survey report.
• Clustering of Technical Activities.
• Further development of the ETSI Green Agenda.
• Involvement in the debate on European Standardization.
• Involvement of SMEs in ETSI.
• Review of ETSI Future Mission and Structure.
• Enhancement of ETSI Pre-Standardization Groups.
• Co-operation with Brazil, Russia, India, China (BRIC).

Growing standardization(1)
 TC RRS: Reconfigurable Radio Systems (created March 2008)
• Change from feasibility studies to standardization in September
2009
• Help improve spectrum efficiency
• Allow a terminal to adapt dynamically to the technology offered by
the network, changing its transmission parameters dynamically to
avoid interference with other services/terminals
 TC MCD: Media Content Distribution (created November 2008)
• Standards for digital media distribution across unicast, multicast and
broadcast networks
• First three parts of MCD framework were published, providing an
overview of different interest areas, the views and needs of content
providers, and regulatory issues, social needs and policy matters.
6
Growing standardization (2)
 TC M2M: Machine to Machine (created November 2008)
• Defining end-to-end high level architecture for provision of valueadded M2M services based on a horizontal market models
• Coordinating ETSI’s work on smart metering interoperability
mandate (M/441)
 TC AERO: Aeronautics (created September 2009)
• Mandated standards in support of the Single European Sky
Interoperability Regulation and HSs under R&TTE Directive for
ground ATM equipment
• Support interoperability of the European Air Traffic Management
Network (EATMN)
7
ETSI Major contributors …
 ERM: Electromagnetic Compatibility and Radio Spectrum Matters
• “System Reference Documents” identifying spectrum needs for new
radio systems, as the basis for spectrum sharing studies in CEPT
• “Harmonized Standards” to allow radio equipment to be placed on
the EU/EFTA market
• Aeronautical, maritime, automotive, medical, radar, Ultra Wide
Band, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
 TISPAN: Telecoms & Internet converged Services & Protocols for
Advanced Networks
• IPTV new services, service and content protection, content delivery
networks
• Business trunking NGCN-NGN implementation guideline
• RFID security
• Energy Efficiency in customer premises networks
• Core network and customer premises network QoS control
8
… and 3GPP
 3GPP Release 9 and Release 10
• Release 9 frozen in December 2009
• Release 10 under preparation (containing more than 70 new
features/studies including IMT-Advanced)
• This has led to a very high workload in terms of specifications
delivery
 MCC support services in great demand
• More than 10 000 change requests (CRs) processed in 2009 (a
60% increase over 2008)
• Target of 1 week to implement all CRs following the TSG meetings,
largely being met
• Error rate remains low (3 errors in 1000 implementations)
 3GPP meetings
• Increased Asian participation (typically 50% of meeting participants
are from Asian region)
• A “Mega” meeting took place in Feb 2010 (11 working groups colocated, with more than 1000 delegates)
• MCC provision of IT services at such meetings successful
9
New standardization
 ISG INS: (Identity and access management for Networks and Services)
- September 2009
• Utilize activities of ongoing R&D projects on Identity Management
(IdM) to enable a pre-standardization consensus on Identity
Management protocols and architectures
 ISG MOI: (Measurement Ontology for IP traffic) - September 2009
• Defining an ontology to describe information about IP traffic
measurements in order to allow complex systems for IP network
monitoring based on different infrastructures
 ISG ORI: (Open Radio equipment Interface) – March 2010
• Developing an open interface for remote radio-head equipment for
mobile cellular systems
• Based on requirements work in NGMN OBRI Project, and strongly
supported by NGMN Board
10
Industry Specification Group (ISG)
 Industry Specification Group: a special type of ETSI committee
• Focused activity, designed for quick establishment
• a mechanism to specifically address the needs of a forum or
consortium
 Ideal for Pre-Standardization
• Bringing research results into Standards
• can evolve into a full ETSI Technical Body later
 ISG advantages
• is fast and easy to set up, approved by DirectorGeneral
• Flexible and adaptive
• has its own operating rules (including voting rules)
• relies on the well proven ETSI IPR policy
 The ETSI Secretariat will provide basic support free of charge
 Specifications from an ISG are official ETSI deliverables (GS)
11
IPR Database Restructuring Project
(DARE)
 New ETSI IPR database with significant new features:
• improved transparency
• better handling of Patent Family information
• automatic updating and reporting
• linkage to EPO database
• reworked user interface (ergonomics, statistics, overviews).

Timeline:
• field testing by ETSI members from August 2010
• Acceptance testing scheduled for end of 2010
• DARE system expected to be operational in Q1 2011
12
In ETSI Interoperability is Key
 Protocol Specification, Validation and Testing
• Supporting ETSI committees on the application of best technical
practices in standards on a daily basis
• Protocol specification (UML, ASN.1, MSC, XML etc)
• Development of test specifications (conformance and
interoperability)
• Validation techniques
 ETSI Interoperability testing (Plugtests™)
• Validation of standards and prototypes through interoperability
events www.etsi.org/plugtests
 ETSI TTCN-3 User Conferences (T3UC)
• Sophia Antipolis (June 2009)
• Bangalor (November 2009)
 www.ttcn-3.org/TTCN3UC_INDIA2009/T3UC_Asia2009.htm
• Beijing (June 2010)
13
ETSI Plugtests™ events
 Aim is to validate standards
• Not implementations or products
• Feedback (CRs) to relevant technical bodies
 But testing and debugging are useful by-products!
• Achieve in one week what would take months otherwise
 A tool to develop and mature standards
 Promote technology and community
 ETSI Provides a complete service
•Admin/Logistics support
•Technical Support
•Testing Expertise
