Current Trends in Wireless Communications
Evolution and Adaptability
• Evolution to 3rd Generation and beyond (UMTS, MBS, WLAN);
• Integration of different systems (e.g. terrestrial/satellite,
cordless/cellular/W-LAN, etc.);
• Higher end user demands in terms of transmission rates & QoS;
• End user requires “technology transparency”;
• Non harmonised frequency bands (multi-band);
• Ability to reconfigure communications link to suit system load,
service demand or standard, or optimise radio parameters to
match radio environment and user profile/demand;
• Re-configurability, extends from the user terminal through and
beyond the network infrastructures and supporting sub-systems
and systems;
The views expressed on this presentation are of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission
Current Trends in Wireless Communications
Challenges
• Complexity:
 explosive growth of persons that wish to communicate;
 proliferation of competing information services and access modes;
• Cost-performance :
 access to information services should be affordable and “friendly”;
 introductions of services/content providers apart from the
classical operators;
• Control:
 Technological answers to user demands must permit to set the
required rules and conditions for the deployment, operation and
use of information services;
• Consensus
 With the globalisation of markets, the need for consensus goes
beyond standards to include as well technological solutions
adaptable to different regulatory and application environments;
The views expressed on this presentation are of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission
An example: Wireless Home Networks
 The use of wireless communications is now common place;
 Multimedia devices are becoming portable and personal,
making wireless connections the natural choice (e.g. from
desktop PC to portable to PDA, tablets, etc.);
 In addition to home computing a large number of
Home/Small office based services and applications can
benefit from wireless connectivity (e.g. tele-working,
home entertainment, security/safety, people with special
needs);
 Wireless home networks create new opportunities for
Europe’s wireless communications industries;
The views expressed on this presentation are of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission
Requirements for wireless home
networks
 Wireless broadband services/applications (e.g. home
entertainment) require the use of diverse frequency bands;
 New system concepts are required to ensure that wireless
networks are secure, can be easily established, are expandable
and can be upgraded, are self-organising and can be managed;
 Easy to use, robust and reliable home networking capabilities
are needed for all possible building constructions;
 Interoperability between wireless home networks and public
infrastructure is an issue;
 Plug & Play capability (automatic setting of addresses e.g. IPv6);
 Wireless technologies used in the home should not add to the
cost of consumer electronics devices;
The views expressed on this presentation are of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission
Wireless Home Networks:
The current situation and future problems
 Currently there is a proliferation (of proprietary, standardised and
“de-facto” standards) of incompatible systems (e.g. IEEE 802.11 and
its variations, DECT+, Hyperlan 1 & 2) nevertheless a harmonised
market is necessary;
 Spectrum sharing and interference (e.g. from other apartments,
buildings, etc.) may prove to be a big problem especially in the
context of mass deployment;
 Is the spectrum available enough ?
 Is the allocation of specific frequency bands to specific standards
the way of the future (WTO technology neutrality);
 Digital applications transcoding still does not fit the requirements of
wireless links;
 One has also to consider the spectrum requirements of RF micro electronic and -mechanical devices (in addition to RF-ID and tags);
The views expressed on this presentation are of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission
Wireless Home Networks:
Possible future directions
 The use of infrared as an access can not be dismissed;
 Infrared demonstrators operating at 200 Mbit/sec do exist;
 The use of the 60 GHz band may be an option for wireless home
applications eventhough product development will be significantly
more expensive in the short and medium term;
 So far the debate for wireless home networks has been mainly
focused on the radio access technologies and the use of certain
spectrum bands and it is now expected to shift into system
concepts (e.g. plug and play);
 Inter-working between public cellular and home networks is an
important system issue that requires further attention;
 As far as radio access technologies are concerned, space-time
techniques and ultra-wideband technologies seam to be very
promising
directions for future research ;

IST Key Actions IV.5: Mobile and Personal
Communications and systems including satellite
systems and services
The work focuses on “the move to an integrated seamless
network that ensures global personal connectivity and
enables access to broadband wireless multimedia
communications and services by anyone, from anywhere, at
any time”. The work in this area will lead to a radical change
in the way today's communication systems and networks and
their associated services, will be designed, customised,
built, integrated and managed. It will be driven by advanced
re-configurable radio concepts, extending from the
terminal to the network, and permeating terrestrial,
satellite, fixed and wireless.

the concept
Is it really a new concept ?
• 1970’s
Software-pre-defined radios at VLF;
• 1980’s
Software-pre-defined HF multimode defence radios;
• 1990’s
Software-pre-defined V/UHF commercial products;
So, what is new ?
• Re-configurability does not have to be confined only in the
physical part of the mobile link;
• Re-configurabilty in its greater context has major implications
at the network level;
• Future commercial viability in large and high growth markets
such as personal communications, broadcasting and satellite
communications;

Action Lines Open in Call 5
Action Lines in the 5th Call should not be seen in
isolation from those called in previous calls;
Integration of various radio and network access
technologies contributes to the further longer term
evolution towards 4G and to the necessity for further
evolution of software re-configurable systems and
networks;
The subsequent calls (Calls 6 and 7 in 2001) should thus
open the possibility to extend and take maximum advantage
of the work put in place through the previous calls;

IST 7th call for proposals (1/2)
IV.5.1 Reconfigurable radio systems & networks
Key goals are the development of:
•
Novel techniques and technologies in the area of combined DSP/RF
design that will lead to the realisation of efficient and cost-effective
adaptive transceivers (terminals as well as base stations). The
combinations of and trade off between dedicated ASIC implementations
and reconfigurable logic as well as optimised algorithmic partitioning are
of particular interest.
•
Open architectures and service/applications development environments,
enabling the co-existence, interoperability, portability and adaptation of
services, across heterogeneous wireless network platforms. Aspects of
particular relevance are those related to self adaptation to traffic load
and characteristics, including multi-streaming, dynamic bandwidth
allocation, and spectrum sharing.

IST 7th call for proposals (2/2)
IV.5.3 Satellite systems and services
Key aspects concern:
•
The technologies and demonstrators based on architectures demonstrating
a viable evolution towards advanced MSS/FSS systems. The work relates to
integration of satellite key features such as broadcasting (e.g. S-DAB or SDVB), optimised support of Internet Protocol including voice transmission by
IP protocol using satellite wideband networks and multicasting, delivery of
multimedia services through supplemental, complementary, or extension
strategies with the mobile terrestrial networks.
•
The development of advanced technologies and architectures allowing for
introduction of novel BSS systems with scalable support of multimedia
services. The work relates to support of broadcasting technologies
supporting novel interactive multimedia applications, optimised multicasting
and caching architectures and to the associated FCAPS management
functions. Technologies for dynamic optimisation of spectrum and network
resources are common objectives.
