  10. Role of ITU-T in Setting Standards

  11. Why Standards? • Worldwide standards provide manufacturers with a solid basis on which to compete in the global marketplace, unhindered by technical barriers. • Also, because global standards can translate into formidable economies of scale and lower development and hardware costs, they mean lower prices to end-users. • Global standards protect users from incompatibility problems between rival systems – a situation which could prove disastrous in a world increasingly reliant on information and communication technologies (ICT) to support economic activity and essential public services such as health care.

  12. Role of ITU-T • ITU-T offers a unique contribution driven and consensus based environment, using the latest collaboration tools and facilities.  • ITU’s role as creator of the world’s most universally-recognized Info communications standards dates back in 1865. • The Union has been brokering industry consensus on the technologies and services that form the backbone of the world’s largest, most interconnected man-made system. • In 2007 alone ITU-T produced over 160 new and revised standards covering everything from core network functionality and broadband to next-generation services like IPTV.  • Global standards are only truly global if developing country needs are taken into account

  23. Definition of FN: A network able to provide services, capabilities, and facilities difficult to provide using existing network technologies. A Future Network is either: Target Date: roughly2015-2020 Vision of Future Networks (Y.3001) Service awareness Data awareness a) A new component network or an enhanced version of an existing one, or b) A heterogeneous collection of new component networks or of new and existing component networks that is operated as a single network. Service Diversity Functional Flexibility Data Access Virtualization of Resources Identification Network Management Mobility Reliability and Security Environmental awareness Social and economic awareness Service Universalization Energy Consumption Economic Incentives Optimization 4 objectives and12 design goals

  24. IMT Advanced 24 In 2000, work began on “IMT-Advanced” — the global platform on which to build the next generations of fixed and mobile wireless broadband services This process, which is now concluding, involved a detailed assessment of market needs up to 2020, identification of suitable spectrum and the detailed specification of the globally agreed radio interfaces Selection of radio interfaces was decided in October 2010, and the detailed specifications for IMT-Advanced finalized in 2011

  25. Decisions • LTE-Advanced and WirelessMAN-Advanced technologies were each determined to have successfully met all of the criteria established by ITU-R for the first release of IMT-Advanced. • LTE-Advanced isdeveloped by 3GPP as LTE Release 10 and Beyond (LTE-Advanced). • WirelessMAN-Advanced is developed by IEEE as the WirelessMAN-Advanced specification incorporated in IEEE Std 802.16 beginning with approval of IEEE Std 802.16m. • Full details of the submissions and evaluation process are contained in the recently approved Report ITU-R M.2198 • The detailed technical specifications of these radio interfaces will be contained in Recommendation ITU-R M.[RSPEC] to be finalized in early 2012.
