SYSTEMS BEYOND 3G: SOME
DRIVERS

Manufacturers:
• Looking for innovative system
concepts allowing introduction
of new, mass market
equipment;

Operators:
• interest in introduction of new
services still without having to
throw away existing
infrastructures and
maximising efficiency in the
use of their networks;


Challenge:
• introduction of innovative
systems and services with
backwards compatibility;

Requirement:
• proliferation of wireless
devices implies optimised use
of spectrum: the right service
should use the right access
network in the right frequency
band.
Users:
• affordable new services
without access restrictions;

IST WP 2003-4 Mobile and Wireless
Systems Beyond 3G
 Objective:
To realise the vision of “Optimally Connected
Anywhere, Anytime” by combining various
complementary technologies, in an optimum way, for
different service requirements and radio environments
 Aiming at a consolidated European approach:
• to technology, systems and services
• spectrum requirements and usage optimisation
• to reconfigurability and to its associated new regulatory
problems (i.e. security and privacy)
NB:The views expressed herein are those of the authors and are not necessarily those of the European Commission
IST W P 2003-4 Mobile and Wireless
SB3G - Technology Focus
 Generalised Access
 Advanced
 Global
Network
resource management techniques
roaming for all access technologies
 Interworking
issues (between access technologies and
with the core network)
 Reconfigurability
at all layers
Research is to be placed in a system context

Technical requirements for satcoms
• promote cheap broadband access through satcoms, notably to
peripheral regions;
• support technologies as researched in EU, i.e DVB - RCS;
• promote IPv6 compatible satcom access, with IP over DVB
encapsulation;
• promote convergence, through seamless service provisions, i.e
portability of the applications/services;
• exploit satcom capability of broadcast to foster multicast
applications;
• exploit broadcast capabilities to validate novel architectures
such as 'edge networking', i.e content moving closer to the
edge, in a multi ISP context
NB:The views expressed herein are those of the authors and are not necessarily those of the European Commission
Policy requirements for satcoms
 'ERA' philosophy: to relate to ongoing work (i.e. ESA)
• The proposed IST work would closely relate with ESA
developments.
 One such possibility is the so called 'large platform',
• an ambitious ESA coms demonstrator to be launched in 2008.
• IST FP6 projects could be framed under this initiative, as
providing the user and service dimension, i.e progressing
towards the definition of the validation and application phase.
• This is however only an example at this stage, and not a
mandatory requirement.

CONCLUSIONS
• Federating RTD work in the area of future communications
networks is crucial to develop a European position in the world
scene
• As an example, systems beyond 3G are considered as a key
technological challenge for Europe
• Partnership beyond Europe will be an asset
• The upcoming FP6 opens a range of opportunities for
collaborative work in an area with an already established
collaboration “culture”
• With a 10 years time frame perspective to deploy new
communication systems, the time is right to start ambitious EU
initiatives in this field
