Emerging Wireless Standards – Panel Discussion
• Moderator:
– Dr. Werner Mohr, Vice-President, Siemens AG
• Panelists:
802.16 – Dr. Rath Vannithamby, Intel Corporation
3GPP - Dr. Adrian Scrase, ETSI
3GPP2 – Dr. By Yi (replaced by Hardeep Saini from
Qualcomm)
CJK - Mr. Hu Wang, Huawei
Emerging Wireless Standards – Panel Discussion
Highlights from 802.16 presentation:
• 802.16m Scope:
– Expect to significantly improve mobile performance more than 2X the current
802.16e capabilities
• 802.16m Requirements:
– System Requirements Document was completed Sept’07
– Evaluation Methodology Document is presently being developed
– Call for proposals for System Description Document was issued on Oct 22,‘07
• IEEE 802.16m is being developed to meet IMT-Advanced Requirements
• End user value can be maximized by enabling transparent access to the
Mobile Internet in a seamless manner
• IMT-Advanced will be critical enabling international standards
harmonization for Mobile broadband
Emerging Wireless Standards – Panel Discussion
Highlights from 3GPP presentation:
• Three parallel paths: GSM/EDGE evolution, UMTS evolution, LTE
• 3GPP will develop an advanced form of LTE (complemented by SAE and
IMS)
• LTE (advanced)
– UL 100 Mbps?, DL 1000 Mbps? Using 50-100 MHz
– Candidate for IMT-Advanced, not limited
– Characterized by:
• Full Mobility, Wide area coverage, Data rates exceeding those obtainable with LTE,
Latency lower than that obtainable with LTE, Ability to handle large traffic volumes
• Consensus building may take place:
– Among 3GPP Partners, Bilaterally between SDOs, Within SDOs, Within the
Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) framework, Within the ITU
• Reducing the number of candidates has obvious economic advantages!
Emerging Wireless Standards – Panel Discussion
Highlights from 3GPP2 presentation:
• 3GPP2 TSG-C formed the Next Generation Technology AdHoc (NTAH)
– a focus group responsible for the technological development
– assessment and evaluation of the next generation wireless air interface
– July 2007
• UMB:
– initial publication – April 2007
– V2.0 technical update – Sept. 2007
• Future UMB systems (air-interface and network) can evolve to support
IMT-Advanced targets of 100 MHz bandwidth and 1 Gbps peak data rate
with backward compatibility to UMB-1
• 3GPP2 is eager to engage other standards bodies to converge the nextgeneration Air-Interface and Access Networks
Emerging Wireless Standards – Panel Discussion
Highlights from CJK presentation:
• CJK B3G Collaboration Time Plan – Phased approach
Phase 0 – Scoping, Objectives, Memberships [2003-2004]
Phase 1 – Service requirement, service scenarios, etc., [2004-2005]
Phase 2 – Evaluation, demonstration, etc., [2005-2007]
Phase 3 – Standardization collaboration 2007+
• CJK:
– B3G Working Group regional cooperation for international IMT-Advanced
standardization
– Similar approaches being taken towards IMT-Advanced standardization
• Good cooperation expected as what is going on now, and willing to
cooperate with other regions of the world
Summary
• IEEE 802.16, 3GPP and 3GPP2 plan to submit candidate proposals for
IMT-Advanced
• All four panelists and the moderator mentioned about consensus building
across SDOs
– Also questions from the floor on where and how the harmonization could
happen
• There was a request from the audience to consider the “emerging wireless
markets” requirements in developing the IMT-Advanced technologies
– E.g., interference seen in cellular networks in India is very high due to the
deployments based on population density
