Scope of FMCA PRDs

• The PRDs are effectively the FMCA building
  blocks for Convergence Services
• Bluetooth CTP
• Wi-Fi SIP
• Wi-Fi GAN (UMA)
• Scope of PRD
• User Equipment/Handset
• Access Point Gateway
• Network Architecture
• Service Capabilities
• Roaming
• Built on top of foundation Technical
  Specifications Standards

FMCA - Industry Engagement

• PRD requirements are the top level building
  blocks
• They are not detailed technical specifications or
  standards
• The FMCA are keen to engage with existing
  Industry Standard Development and Certification
  Organisations to ensure the support of top level
  product requirements to the appropriate
• industry standards,
• network operator specifications e.g NGN
• inter-operability certifications.

5
User Equipment /Handset Examples

• Product Requirement
• The Handset shall provide a common user interface
  in wireless and cellular modes, which shall be
  simple and consistent amongst all applications.
• When a Handset successfully associates with an AP
  for the first time, it shall store the
  association details within a wireless profile.
• When using this profile subsequent associations
  shall be seamless and not require any keystroke
  entry.
• As a minimum, the standard handset battery life
  shall last for 150 hours of standby and five
  hours talk time.

6
Access Point Gateway Examples

• Product Requirement
• The Wi-Fi air interface shall be optimised for
  voice, i.e. voice delay shall be minimised.
• APs shall be capable of supporting a minimum of
  three simultaneous Wi-Fi SIP calls
• APs shall support the ability to restrict the
  number of users that can simultaneously connect.

7
Network Architecture Examples

• Product Requirement
• Vision of a network architecture compliant with
  e.g.
• 3GPP IMS,
• 3GPP VCC
• ETSI TISPAN.
• 3GPP2

8
Roaming/Interoperability Examples

• Product Requirement
• Seamless support for international cellular
• and
• Wi-Fi 802.11 service provider roaming.
• Future PRDs will call for the support of wireless
  cellular
• WIMAX roaming interoperability requirements

9
Service Capabilities Examples

• Product Requirement
• Voice call and data session continuity during
  cellular to Wi-Fi (and vice versa) handovers
• and
• AP to AP handovers.
• Support for Location Based Services
• Support for Presence Services

10
Mapping of FMCA Reqs to MIH

• FMCA has reviewed their PRD Release 1.0 Wi-Fi SIP
  requirements matrix
• It has identified the following areas for
  discussion with IEEE 802.21

11
Next Steps

• Guidance from IEEE 802.21 on what particular MIH
  aspects the FMCA should focus on for providing
  feedback.
• How best to provide timely FMCA Contributions
  into existing IEEE802.21 activities.
• Example
• Discussion on how MIH IEs can support FMCA
  product requirements for seamless handover and
  service continuity.
