• The drawing up of a Strategic Research Agenda including
long term vision
• Identify technology and non-technology barriers to
development, deployment and the use of technology
• The achievement of the necessary critical mass for
research and innovation
• The mobilisation of substantial public and private funding
• Projects in Framework Programme 7 will be carried out
under the umbrella of the eMobility Technology Platform
Technology Platforms - The shared vision
•
Support the renewed Lisbon Strategy for a
competitive, knowledge-based society
•
Drive future technology developments in mobile
and wireless communications that serve
Europe's citizens and the European economy
•
Enhance cooperation between industry players,
the research community and public authorities
•
Mid- to long-term vision (2015+ ) to maximise the
benefit of mobile and wireless communications,
thus enabling economic and social advances
in the EU
•
Formulation of an action plan and time-table for
the key developments
•
Evolution of a consistent policy, spectrum and
regulatory framework
Mission Statement
• Achieve full mobile access to applications for
European citizens, building on European strength in
wireless communication
• Develop the technology to provide optimal
applications relying on the most promising
technologies and network resources
• Focus European R&D resources to exploit the
coming business opportunities in mobile and wireless
to the benefit of the European economy, and
ensuring eInclusion especially for new member
states
Rationale for investment
• Mobile & wireless products and services
have an economic impact greater than the
INTERNET
• Public investments in other regions is
growing rapidly (Asia, N. America)
• Job creation – from 4 Million jobs now to
10 Million in 2010
• Europe should ride the next wave of
wireless innovation
• Mobile services account for about 3% of
European GDP at present

Ubiquitous Services
• Mobile applications and services are no longer separate “add-ons”, but
are an integral part of everyday life! This includes also personal
service creation!
• Service creation technology is a key enabler to boost the services
market in Europe
“Make service creation and delivery as easy as
constructing and delivering Web pages”
Simplicity
To Manage Complexity:
User
--Improved User Experience
Industry
--Minimising cost
--Reducing innovation cycle

New Approach to Efficiency
• Current practice:
• Air-interface and system-level protocols not
designed together
• System planning and protocols are designed
based on fixed average statistics
(particularly freq. allocation) whereas
mobile networks are dynamic in nature
• Future Approach:
• Joint optimisation of link-level & system level
• New system topologies
• Adaptation (cross-layers)
• Auto-planning (self-organisation)
• Opportunistic Communications
– DSA (Network) & DSS (Terminal-CR)
Security, Privacy &
Trust
Rationale
• Technology convergence
• Transactions across different networks
• Context-based communications
– Demand high emphasis on provision of network security for
user’s trust, confidence and security and security of user’s
information for privacy.
Research Priorities
• Secure Software Environment including O/S
• Virus protection (virus, trojan, DoS attacks)/Intrusion
Detection
• Secure exchange of user profile data
• Safe Terminal Re-configurability
• Secure Execution Environment
• Secure SW Download

• Cooperation on government level, one
working group on mobile
communication
Globally
• Cooperation between SDOs
• ITU-R Framework
Recommendation
• WWRF, since 2001
Europe is being challenged !
• Asian countries, such as China and Korea, are making
substantial efforts to overtake Europe in this
strategically crucial domain
• The USA dominates in the short-range wireless
technology sector and invests its defense budget in
supporting technological advances
Europe today accounts for around one third of global
ICT sales, which are growing at 5% per year,
with double-digit growth in emerging markets
such as India and China
Scope of eMobility to
address the challenges
• Competitive phase
– Competition law has to be respected
– Limited cooperation
• Semi-competitive phase
– Specification and standardisation
– Industry standards and proprietary solutions also
possible and relevant
• Pre-competitive phase
– Collaborative research, much cooperation
• Collaboration at European level must add
value
Potential topics beyond research
Large-scale European approaches to system research and development
Market Development
- How to meet the demand of the world markets
Regulations for growth
- How to stimulate the internal European organisation/market
Standards and specifications for seamless services
- How to create “seamless” eMobility
Infospace and services infrastructure
- How to establish the capabilities required (Usage driven)
Developing the technology base for leadership
- How to get the techno-economics right
Impact of R & D will be on …
• eGovernance
– Communication between state & citizen
• Environmental and personal security
– Always-on sensing and monitoring
• Societal interactions
– Interpersonal and person-business relationships
as well as behavior will change
• Increased industrial efficiency
– Always-everywhere brings new business
models, revolutionising value-chains
Meeting the Challenge
• Competing in a changing world
Leadership requires concerted efforts of all players
including regulators and governments to provide the
environment needed for growth
• Consensus building
Complexity and need for global standards, requires
cooperation beginning with research
• Europe’s industry is fully committed
10-20% of turn-over are committed to R & D, where the
collaborative R&D comprises less than 1%
