Highlights from Presentation 1ITU-D
inter-sector activities

• All Sectors of the ITU are active in promoting
  IMT-2000
• ITU-R WP 8F ITU-T SSG Handbook Deployment of
  IMT-2000 Systems in addition to technical work
• ITU-T SSG 2 prior IMT-2000 Workshops seminars
• ITU-D World Telecommunication Development
  Conference , Istanbul, 18-27 Mar 2002
• Resolution 43 (Assistance in Implementing IMT
  2000)
• ITU-D Q.18/2 (Strategy for migration of mobile
  networks to IMT-2000 and beyond) Mid Term
  Guidelines
• Promotion of IMT-2000, especially in "developing"
  countries

4
Highlights from Presentation 2Mobile Access
Issues

• TD-SCDMA ITU recognized IMT-2000 radio
  technology
• Status successful Network Acceptance tests
• high speed (125km/hr), long range (gt20km) video
  transmission data to 384 Kbps
• TD-SCDMA Alliance (vendors) and Forum (vendors
  and operators) local and global membership
• supported by 3 Chinese Ministries (SDPC, MII and
  MOST)
• focus further technology, promote TD-SCDMA
• China mobile market has overtaken USA
• TD-SCDMA technology will be major player in
  providing a cost-effective evolution path from to
  IMT-2000

5
Highlights from Presentation 3Looking Beyond
Network Boundaries

• People value multimedia, security,
  personalization, mobility
• Simplify the network eliminate boundaries
  distinctions
• To make real blend user devices (PC, PDA,
  phone), use a unified user profile, a single
  address to reach the user
• Operator becomes ultimate single point of contact
  for user
• Single phone number/address used to contact a
  person
• Receiving party decides where to answer the call
  mobile phone / PDA / PC / wireline phone

6
Highlights from Presentation 4Requirements and
Architecture for Beyond 3G mobile Communication
Networks

• Requirements to support virtual presence, rich
  content, invisible support
• 1 huge multimedia traffic handling
• 2 accommodate diverse wireless access
• 3 advanced mobility management
• 4 seamless/ubiquitous services
• 5 applications services support
• Must make mobility a base capability
• Evolve to Plug n Play diverse radio
  technologies on a converged Mobile
  Network/Internet

7
Overview of issues in the session

• IMT-2000 promises a great deal today, as it
  evolves, and in systems beyond
• promotion is essential to creating awareness,
  transferring knowledge, global deployment
• radio technologies will evolve, improve
• network must be able to deal with heterogeneous
  access and user devices seamless user experience
• operator will be ultimate single point of contact
  for user
• mobility must become a base capability
• Transformation of the network is key

8
Recommendations

• Increase focus on the evolution of the core
  network
• mobility as a base capability
• single phone number/address to contact a person
• blend user devices mobile phone / PDA / PC /
  wireline phone
• Transform the network
• dynamic packet/optical network
• secure multimedia services
• ubiquitous broadband
• integrated functionality

9
Follow-up actions

• Solicit greater operator involvement
• set the requirements for the seamless end user
  service experience
• ultimate single point of contact for user
• Increase focus on access independence
• support heterogeneous radio access technologies
• Seamless user experience increase focus on
  convergence
• wireline and wireless networks are converging
• increase focus on internetworking, internetwork
  mobility management

10
Conclusion

• Core Network is an essential and major component
  for providing services, sometimes overlooked due
  to the emphasis placed on radio technologies and
  spectrum issues
• Converged Core Network will evolve to become
  access independent, provide mobility as a basic
  capability
• Greater attention needs to be paid to the long
  term (NGN)
• where are we going
• how are we going to get there
• how do we leverage the existing infrastructure
