6. Emerging Wireless Standards – Panel Discussion
Moderator:
Dr. Werner Mohr, Vice-President, Siemens AG
Panelists:
– 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

7. Emerging Wireless Standards – Panel Discussion
Highlights from presentation:
802.16m Scope:
Expect to significantly improve mobile performance more than 2X the current e 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 m 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

8. 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 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!

9. 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

10. Emerging Wireless Standards – Panel Discussion
Highlights from CJK presentation:
CJK B3G Collaboration Time Plan – Phased approach
Phase 0 – Scoping, Objectives, Memberships [ ]
Phase 1 – Service requirement, service scenarios, etc., [ ]
Phase 2 – Evaluation, demonstration, etc., [ ]
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

11. Summary
IEEE , 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
