WWRF Conference Overview Meets twice every year Last meeting #19 Held in Chennai, India During 11/05/07-11/07/07 Theme “Vision 2020” More details can be found at http://www.wireless-world-research.org/ Hosted by: CEWiT/India and Midas

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 next-generation 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
