Continuing Cooperation on IMT Standardization
Submission Date: July 1, 2008

2. Highlight of Current Activities (1)
TIA continues to actively support the ITU IMT Standardization Activities
Subcommittee TR-45.5 develops performance, compatibility and interoperability standards for Spread Spectrum Digital wireless access systems supporting international, public, non-public, or residential mobile and personal communications.
These standards apply to service definition, mobile and portable station equipment, base station equipment, ancillary apparatus, as covered by applicable Parts of the FCC Rules.

4. Strategic Direction TR45.5 will:
Maintain and enhance the core specifications (cdma2000 1x, HRPD, and UMB)
Develop new technologies and services
Partner with 3GPP2 and its Organizational Partners and Marketing Representation Partners
Collaborate with other standards groups, e.g., 3GPP and WiMAX Forum on interworking
Work with ITU
Provide ITU with updates of cdma2000 as IMT-2000 and Broadband Wireless Access (BWA)
Provide ITU with input on the IMT-Advanced
Concentrate on environmentally friendly systems and services: Green Initiatives

5. Challenges
Increase capacity while maintaining service quality and system coverage to satisfy the market demands
Enhance data throughput and reduce latency to accommodate the existing and emerging data services
Continue to meet the time to market requirements by the industry

6. Next Steps/Actions TR-45.5
Continue to develop new technologies and services for the cdma2000 industry
Innovate and improve existing systems in TR45.5
Work closely with regulatory bodies to provide solutions for location services, emergency notification, new frequency plans, and other governmental services
