Adjourn 2 www.cdg.org UMB Positioning: Discussion Objectives • Understand the current situation relative to system naming • Determine the best approach for positioning UMB relative to other terminology (e.g., 4G) • Develop consistency in CDG member company messaging and positioning of UMB 2 www.cdg.org UMB Positioning Arguments • Industry Positioning • The industry is confusing itself by assigning "3.5G",”3.99G”, "4G" and "5G" to define new technologies. • ITU: • The ITU is the ultimate body to promulgate the definition of any next generation telecom technology. • 1G, 2G & 3G are the only "G's" that have been formally and universally defined and adopted by the ITU. • 4G has not been defined. • 4G: • The term 4G has been used in different ways by more than 12 companies and government organizations. • Coming to an universal agreement on 4G may never happen. • It may take years for the entire industry to come to a consensus on what 4G should be, and when, or if, it finally does... the definition may change again. • The days of defining "G" technologies may be over. • NGMN: • The definition of NGMN is being driven by a consortium of leading operators. They may or may not come to a consensus. If they don't, the term may become irrelevant in the future. Remember OMTPA? • Evolution to Multiplicity • Wireless networks and devices are evolving to IP-based multi-mode and multi-band solutions to deliver a multiplicity of services. • The selection of radio access technology to deliver these services will be depend on many factors: 2 • Type of application, type of user, time, frequency assignment, space and cost. www.cdg.org UMB Positioning Arguments (Cont.) • IMT-Advanced • www.telecomabc.com International Mobile Telecommunications - Advanced (IMT-Advanced) is a concept from the ITU for mobile communication systems with capabilities which go further than that of IMT-2000. IMT-Advanced was previously known as systems beyond IMT-2000. It is foreseen that the development of IMT-2000 will reach a limit of around 30 Mbps. In the vision of the ITU, there may be a need for a new wireless access technology to be developed around the year 2010 capable of supporting even higher data rates with high mobility, which could be widely deployed around the year 2015 in some countries. The new capabilities of these IMT-Advanced systems are envisaged to handle a wide range of supported data rates according to economic and service demands in multi-user environments with target peak data rates of up to approximately 100 Mbit/s for high mobility such as mobile access and up to approximately 1 Gbit/s for low mobility such as nomadic/local wireless access. To support this wide variety of services, it may be necessary for IMT-Advanced to have different radio interfaces and frequency bands for mobile access for highly mobile users and for new nomadic/local area wireless access. Together with the introduction of the name IMT-Advanced, the ITU introduced the generic root name IMT. The generic root name IMT covers the capabilities of IMT-2000, including future development of IMT2000, and IMT-Advanced. 2 www.cdg.org UMB Positioning Recommendation • Recommendation: A. Stay away from positioning UMB as a "G" technology. Take the high road. B. Remain aligned with the ITU: the ultimate authority. Stay relevant and universally accepted. C. Align UMB with IMT-Advanced and help “define the category”. Be known (perceived) as the first technology to meet the requirements of the ITU’s vision. 1. UMB is the first technology to combine the best aspects of multiple radio techniques and frequency bands into a single air interface and standard (CDMA, TDM, OFDM, OFDMA, etc.) 2. UMB will be the first commercially viable technology to deliver more than 100 Mbps while mobile 3. UMB will inter-work with PAN/MAN/WLAN air interfaces (Wi-Fi, BlueTooth, etc.) 4. UMB is an extension of the family of IMT-2000 standards 5. UMB will be a globally accepted open standard 6. UMB is based on a scalable IP-based flat architecture 7. UMB will enable the convergence of information, communications, entertainment, gaming, and consumer electronic services – enabling a multiplicity of services D. When anyone tries to position UMB as a "4G" technology, remind them that 4G is still undefined. Let them know that UMB is part of the IMT-Advanced concept. 2 www.cdg.org CDMA2000 Evolution Path UMB will be the first IMT-Advanced technology to be commercialized CDMA CDMA/TDM OFDM IMT-2000 1xEV-DO Rel 0 EV-DO Rev A 3G OFDM/OFDMA/MIMO/SDMA IMT-Advanced Enhanced Mobile Broadband Broadband MIMO EV-DO Rev B Ultra Mobile Broadband UMB VoIP CDMA2000 1X Circuit-switched core network 2001 2002 2003 2004 IP-based core network 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2 www.cdg.org UMB Positioning Background 2 www.cdg.org Positioning of Next Generation Technologies • 3G CDMA2000 1X, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, WCDMA (UMTS) • 3.5G HSDPA, HSPA, HSPA+ (3GSM), UMTS TDD, Flash-OFDM • 3.99G (Evolved UMTS, Super 3G): A term coined by the Super 3G Group consisting of NTT DoCoMo, Vodafone, Cingular, China Mobile, T-Mobile, Alcatel, Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia, Siemens and Qualcomm to study the relevant technologies, spectrum requirements and other issues to define a future 3GPP standard that can support mobile downlink speeds of at least 100 Mbps. The Super 3G Group expect the specification to be completed by mid-2007 and working systems by 2009. • IMT-2000: • The ITU third generation mobile cellular standard. The detailed specifications of the radio interfaces of IMT-2000 are defined in Recommendation ITU-R M.1457 • IMT-Advanced • The framework and overall objectives of the future development of IMT-2000 and systems beyond IMT-2000 are described in Recommendation ITU-R M.1645. • The ITU envisions a need to develop a new wireless technology in 2010 to be widely deployed in 2015 that will support a wide range of data rates according to economic and service demands in multi-user environments with target peak data rates up to 100 Mbps in a highly mobile environment and 1 GHz in a low mobility environment. • To support this wide variety of services, IMT-Advanced may need to have different radio interfaces and frequency bands. • The Chinese FuTURE (Future Mobile Communication) Forum, Japanese mITF (Mobile IT) Forum, and Korean NGMC (Next Generation Mobile Communications) Forum are developing a 3.5Gbps system and WRC 2007 band plan proposal for IMT.ADVANCED. They meet at International Conferences on Beyond 3G Mobile Communications (ICB3G). They also work with the European WWRF (Wireless World Research Forum). • Beyond IMT-2000 • Resolution 228 (Rev.WRC-03) notes that appropriate naming is to be developed for the future development of IMT-2000 and systems beyond IMT-2000. “Systems beyond IMT-2000” has been used as a temporary name. • NGMN • U.K.-based consortium of leading mobile operators including China Mobile, KPN, NTT DoCoMo, Orange, Sprint Nextel, TMobile and Vodafone to develop a common vision and technology to take industry beyond HSPA and EV-DO • 4G See next chart • 5G 2 July 26, 2001: NTT DoCoMo started research on a 5G Internet-capable mobile phone to feature 3D moving images 5G Wireless, CA company offering wireless broadband solutions to campuses High frequency mobile extensions of current fixed-line broadband Internet networks, VTT (Finland) www.cdg.org Positioning of Next Generation Technologies • 4G 2 Jun. 9, 2000: Dr. Tachikawa, NTT DoCoMo, begins using 4G term Jun. 20, 2000: Ken Woo, AWS, announces plans to launch 5-10Mbps 4G services in 2005 Sep. 18, 2000: AT&T Labs and Nortel begin sketching out plans to define 4G Access system Oct. 15, 2001: Ericsson aims to introduce 100 Mbps 4G devices for 2012 Olympics Jan. 25, 2002: Korea’s MIC invests US$104 million to develop 4G mobile communications Jan. 28, 2002: Kyocera and Hanaro Telecom sign agreement to develop 4G Mar. 11, 2002: China and Korea ministries sign MoU to develop 4G mobile service Nov. 12, 2002: NTT DoCoMo demos 4G experimental system to deliver 100 Mbps (DL) in 100 MHz BW Mar. 6, 2003: Visant Strategies expects 4G to roll-out in Spring of 2004 Sep. 30, 2003: Samsung hosts 4G Forum (Evolved WiBRO) Nov. 7, 2003: Svanberg, CEO Ericsson, dubs 4G as “WCDMA evolved”.
