Prospects for the Future Mobile
Communications
 As voice is concerned, “anywhere access” is fully realized with
2-G mobiles, PABX phones, and cordless telephones.
 As we enter into knowledge-based information society at the
turn of the century, main focus on communication is being
shifted towards ubiquitous high speed wireless
multimedia/internet. “Anywhere access for data” will be the
major topics for the next generation mobile systems like IMT2000.
 But, nobody is sure how much high speed data services will be
needed when one is on move. While it is feasible to predict the
ever-growing needs for high speed data, wherever one is
located stationary. Mobility on fixed network is as important as
that on mobile network.
Converging Wireless Access as Last Mile Access

Public Land Mobile Systems like 2-G and 3-G :


Advantage :
“wherever service” possible
Disadvantage : limited data speed and capacity, and relatively high
tariffs
 No tariffs and high data speed



Broadband Wireless LAN *: within campus or large premise, and
offices
Home R.F.* or Personal LAN like Bluetooth : at home or on personal
move
SRD (Short Range Communication Device)
 Low Tariffs and high data speed, where the fixed system is not
conveniently accessible


Broadband Fixed Wireless Access*
Broadband Satellite Internet Service*
 Low tariffs and very high data speed

SCS (Stratospheric Communication System)*
* possible application of microwave and mm-wave technology

Seamless services with fixed, and private networks like
Wireless LAN, BWA etc.
 Frequency band : 3 ~ 8 GHz, possibly higher
 Frequency Spectrum Requirements :

ITU-R recommends additional 180 MHz bands for IMT-2000
services by 2010.

For 4-G, conservative estimates is at least 1,000 MHz by
2015
Requirement for Future Spectrum
Management
 Facing More and More Complications
 Ever Increasing Demands and Values for
Frequency Spectrum
 Convergence of Diverse Services
 Differentiation among Services or Systems ambiguous
 Especially for the 4-G Services
 Appearance of New Unpredicted Services
 Flexibility of Spectrum Use needed
 Globalization and De-regularization Trends
 Need of Long-and–Medium Term Frequency

Demands
 Technology Development and Incentive to Utilize for
Higher Frequency Bands like Millimeter-wave Band
 Publishing Long-term Frequency Planning
 Efficiency Spectrum Utilization for Existing Bands of
Use
 Narrower Channel Bandwidth
 Frequency Spectrum Sharing for Different Services
 Trunking for Similar Services from Different
Entities/Organizations
 Clean Electromagnetic Environment
 Maximization of Spectrum Resource
Utilization
 Improvement of Spectrum Allocation Method
 Adoption of Global Standards or Trends in Spectrum
Allotment
 Spectrum Reassignment through Actual Frequency Usage
Statistics
 Spectrum Allocation by Market-based
Mechanism
 Public Access to Current Frequency Database

Station Licensing
Current Spectrum Allocations Policy
1. Appraisal of Proposals with Pre-fixed Pricing (hybrid
form)



Based on Economic Values and Technical Effectiveness
Existing Competitions in the Market
Needs for Accelerating Commercial Services
 Price Range Pre-fixed, and Fund Contributed for
Telecommunication Development
 Exclusive Right to Use for Specific Services, and Renewable
with Additional Prices after Licensing Period of less than 20 yrs
2. Allocation by Conventional Review Process
with No Price




Based on Effectiveness of Intended Spectrum Use
Fairness and Conformity to Public Interest
Needs of Applicants
Technical and Financial Capabilities of Applicants
3. Spectrum Auction (X)
 Once considered, but discarded due to
negative reactions of general public, and
many other adverse effects
Status of Hot Service Licensing's
 IMT-2000 Services ( Method 1)

Final Remarks
 Each country has its own regulation and customs for frequency
allocation, but globalization and roaming requirements ask for
more conformance to global standards.
 As demands for frequency use accelerated, harmful interference
may occur between neighboring countries unless close
frequency planning coordination worked out.
 As more diverse services merged vertically or horizontally,
spectrum management becomes more complicated. The
worldwide study is required to resolve.
 Perhaps, economic values of spectrum use may be deemed
differently from country to country. Trend is to levy some price
tags.
 Spectrum cap or specific use of certain bands will be removed
for improving flexibility of spectrum utilization.
