There are two main reasons for operators to
build an IP based 3G network: New Revenue
Opportunities and Cost Savings
New Revenue Opportunities
Cost Savings
 Switch to all IP traffic will
increase network efficiency and
call volume capacity
 Operational and capital
expenditure savings
 Ability to create new service
experiences driven by richer
interaction between
applications and mediastreams
 Future upgrades primarily consist
of only software upgrades vs.
replacing or adding expensive
hardware
 Increased network component
flexibility and intelligence means
the network is easier to operate
as well as configure for new
services
 Introduce person- to- person
communications by combining
multiple media types
 Offer high-speed wireless
access for corporate users to
their enterprise applications

Mobile devices will vary
•
•
•
There are and will be many different types of mobile terminals available
Each type of terminal has its use in different usage situations
The terminals will support various networks and application technologies in varying
degrees

Basic phones
Page 12
Those devices may require different
development patterns
Which development technology is best suited to satisfy my requirements?
• WAP for straight-forward real-time information searching/browsing and
simple transactions
• large consumer user base today, expected to grow as all major new phones
are WAP-enabled
• J2ME for interactive entertainment and more complex (graphical)
presentation of information
• no user base in US yet today but is predicted to be a big consumer platform in
1-2 years
• will enable the download of ”midlets” (similar to applets today) to mobile
devices having a KVM
• Native EPOC, PalmOS or PocketPC for applications that fill a specific
business need and can be used in a ”disconnected” mode
• represent more a client/server environment in which data is persisted on the
device in a local data store when the user is out of network coverage
• Web based solutions such as portals that target the mark-up language
supported by the requesting device (i.e WML, HDML, cHTML, HTML, etc.)
• limited user base today, but is predicted to grow rapidly in the next 1-2 years
Page 13
There are many different next
generation wireless network flavors
•
There are and will be many wireless data networks available, e.g.
• GSM (CSD/HSCSD)
• General Packet Radio Server (GPRS)
• Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE)
• Universal Mobile Telephony Service (UMTS, WCDMA)
• Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
• Bluetooth and so on
•
Each have their applicability in different
situations
Mobile terminals will support these
technologies in varying degrees
4G is expected to provide network
agnostic devices having multiple
network interfaces and seamless
roaming across them
•

Page 14
Here are some current and future
network technologies
•
•
•
•
CDMA (IS-95B) – Current standard network technology
• Circuit Switched (IS-95B) provides about (64 kbps) .
• Merely extends current web technology to the handset. Carrier becomes a Wireless ISP.
CDMA (1XRTT) – recently launched network technology built upon current CDMA IS-95B technology
• 1XRTT offers mobile speeds of up to 144 kbps and fixed up to 300 kbps.
• Network resource usage optimized by the use of packet switched networks.
• 1XRTT requires major network upgrades however, the transition to 3XRTT ( is only a software upgrade.
GPRS – Future network technology built upon current GSM technology
• GPRS offers speeds as great as 4 times the current GSM data rate.
• Network resource usage optimized by the use of packet switched networks.
• High upgrade costs, requires major network upgrades and totally new network elements. Needs to be
totally revamped again when transitioning to EDGE.
By 2005 we expect to see three major wireless access technologies in use.
• WCDMA = Mostly early adopters, new entrants and government initiatives.
• EDGE / UWC-136 = Everyone else with a GSM or TDMA network that chooses not to upgrade to W-CDMA.
• cdmaOne = Primarily American and Japanese cdmaOne (IS-95) users.
Page 15
The wireless networks transport
the data
But the networks by themselves are just ”bit pipes”
• e.g. GPRS is a nice improvement over CSD, but if there are no applications that people
find useful/interesting/value-adding, what good is either network by itself?
The wireless networks enable
• ubiquitous anytime/anywhere wireless access to applications and services
• various types of communications between the users
The convenience (ease and speed of use) and cost of the network access are
differentiating factors
In many cases from now on, the wireless network access is ”always-on”, i.e. packetbased, which is one of the most important features of a wireless data network
• case in point: i-Mode. The network itself is slow (9.6 kbps), but it’s packet-based, thus
access to the services is much more immediate
Page 16
Mobile IP is the key to 3G
3G Networks will support Mobile IP and Simple IP
Mobile IP allows mobility between wireline and wireless networks
• Transparent wireless connectivity  Same network functionality as on a home network
• Dynamic IP address assignment  Host manages and assigns IP addresses with enterprise
server
• Seamless roaming across networks  Devices may attach or handoff to different points on
the Internet
• Home Agent / Foreign Agent relationship provides IP mobility  Applications always operate
• Supports multiple IP devices per connection  Multiple devices operate through one RF
source
• Secure end-to-end IP mobility across the Internet  Forward and reverse tunneling with
handoff
Simple IP bridges the gap for non-Mobile IP users
• Provides quick IP access  no change to current IP operation for stationary devices
• Secure connections  network initiated tunnels
IP access requires the use of a Network Access Identifier (NAI) or user name and password
• Hosted IP access services  WWW access and IP services are available via the carrier
• Proxy IP access services  network proxies to business realms for quick corporate
connections
Page 17
The application architectures will resemble
those of the wireline world today but with
ties into the carrier networks

Design your applications with key points in
mind
When delivering wireless solutions an application developer should base their
network technology, target device, and software decisions on the capabilities they
want to deliver.
Factors to consider
• Physical Environment
• How will the device be used, in an office or at a construction site?
• Size
• Sure its small but… can I read the screen or does the device provide a usable
means for input e.g. a keyboard or stylus?
• Power
• Can I pack enough processing power and memory in the device to run my
software?
• Connectivity
• Does the network provide the throughput my mobile applications require?
• Do both the handset and network support the protocols used by my
application?
• Will my users always be in network coverage or will the application need to be
available off-line?

Consumer Application Example
•
Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS)
• Extension to SMS
• Supported by other major mobile phone vendors except Nokia, who have their
own Smart Messaging concept for now
• Attempt at standardization of ringing tones, icons, picture messaging (animated
or not) and other similar SMS-based content
• Other additions compared to SMS
• text formatting to text messages (bold, italic,underline...)
• standard pictograms (smiley/sad face etc)
• add sound bytes to text messages
• Non-EMS phones only get the plain text portion of the message
• Enables extension of popular ringtone/icon business into non-Nokia phones in a
standard way
Page 27
Siemens C45
Consumer Application Example
•
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)
• Next step from EMS/Smart Messaging
• One standard supported by all major mobile phone vendors
• Supports transmission and storage of messages containing formatted text,
graphics, photographic images (GIF, JPEG), video clips (MPEG4), audio clips
(MP3, MIDI)
• Includes the concept of a ”photo service”, i.e. an online storage of MMS
messages. Messages can be accessed over the internet from a PC or MMSterminal. Also needed to allow non-MMS users see MMS messages sent to them.
• MMS-terminals are likely to have built-in or accessory digital cameras for capturing
and sending photos/video
• Non-MMS terminals may receive a notification (by SMS or WAP push) containing
information about how to access received MMS messages online using other
means (e.g. PC)
• Enables more messaging revenue generation from more complex media types

Ericsson T68
Consumer Application Example
•
Instant messaging
• already hugely popular in the internet
• 200+ million users world-wide
• imagine the wireless user potential...
• now being standardized for the mobile internet
• Wireless Village, www.wireless-village.org
• Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson
• The specifications will be used for exchanging messages and presence
information between mobile devices, mobile services and Internetbased instant messaging services, all fully interoperable and leveraging
existing web technologies.
• Started in April 2001, specifications targeted for end of 2001
• In the mean time, many non-interoperable mobile chat and instant
messaging systems exist
• PocketPC 2002 already includes MSN Messenger
