I. Development of Standards

In response to the demand of the communications industry in development and the pressing needs of the market,China Communications Standards Association (CCSA) successfully completed a number of projects in thedevelopment of domestic standards in key technological fields and areas of public concern, such as 3G, IPTV,mobile terminal, softswitch, unified Instant Messaging System (IMS) through the convergence of fixed andmobile communications networks, environmental-friendly communications, and Electro Magnetic Compat-ibility (EMC), etc.In 2007, CCSA undertook 104 national standard projects and 580 industry standard projects, 85 communica-tion standard technical reports, and 159 research tasks. It completed 207 drafts for approval, 148 drafts forexamination and 66 drafts for comments.

1. Development of 3G Standards

With the first 23 TD-SCDMA series communications industry standards issued in 2006, the development ofanother 6 TD-SCDMA standards have been completed, with technological contents such as N Frequency Pointadded.

Development of standards for TD-SCDMA and GSM dual-mode terminal was conducted, and the standardfor dual-mode dual-standby mobile terminal was approved by the Ministry of Information Industry (MII) inSeptember 2007 and issued as reference technical document of communications standard.

The standards for smart antenna and amplifying station was completed and approved by MII in September2007.

The development of standards for High Speed Downlink Packages Access (HSDPA) was initiated, and 7standards for the network section and 2 terminal standards have been completed.

While organizing the development of TD-SCDMA standards, CCSA has also organized the development ofstandards of WCDMA and cdma2000, the other two mainstream 3G technologies, and completed 130 drafts of3G standards including TD-SCDMA, which were approved by MII in May 2007 for issuance.

2. Development of IPTV Standards The IPTV special task group, committed to the promotion of domestic IPTV industry, initiated the develop-

ment of over 40 standards step by step. Completed drafts such as "Overall Technical Specification for IPTV Service System," "Specification for

Interface between Set-top Box and IPTV Service Platform" and "Technical Specification for Interface betweenIPTV Content Operating Platform and Business Operating Platform" etc.

New standards series, including "Architecture for Business Operating Management System of IPTV System," are ongoing.

3. Standardization of Mobile Terminal In accordance with the arrangement of the Department of Science and Technology of MII, CCSA timely

organized and completed the standard of "Technical Requirements and Test Method of Charger and Interfacefor Mobile Telecommunication Terminal Equipment," which has been implemented in network access testsince June 2007.

As required by the Department of Science and Technology of MII, CCSA worked hard in developing stan-dards for data format and interface of mobile phone,technical specification and test method for earphoneinterface, sound pressure output threshold require-ment and measurement method. These standards,once completed, will facilitate consumer's transmis-sion of data back and forth between mobile phonesand improvement of earphone quality.

The development of specification standard formobile phone battery sizes in an effort to improvethe utilization of batteries.

4. Development of Standards Involving National Interest, Communications Security and

Immediate Interests of the People On June 15, 2007, CCSA set up "Special Task Force for Environmental Standard of Communications Prod-

uct" and initiated the development of 11 national standards for environmental criteria of communications products,in which 6 drafts for approval have been completed. These include "Technical Specifications for Equipment forRecycling and Processing Waste Communication Product," "Requirements for Recycling and Reusing of Com-munications Record Media," "Requirements for Recycling of Communications Network Devices," and "Re-quirements for Recycling of Communications Terminal Devices."

To support China Disabled Persons' Federation's Information Accessibility Initiative, CCSA studied andcompiled "Information Accessibility Standard System" and other relevant technical documents which havebeen promulgated by the Department of Science and Technology of MII.

In 2007, organized by "Telecom Network Security Protection Ad Hoc Working Group," the first 14 standardprojects including "Guide to Telecom Network and Internet Security Protection Management" was completedand promulgated by the Department of Science and Technology of MII as communication standard referencedocuments to guide the deployment of pilot projects. Through these pilot projects, the Ad Hoc Working Groupfurther complemented and improved these 14 projects and finalized "Guide to Implementation of Grade Protec-tion for Telecom Network and Internet Security," "Guide to Implementation of Security Risk Assessment forTelecom Network and Internet" and " Guide to Implementation of Disaster Backup and Recovery for TelecomNetwork and Internet," as well as 32 communication industry standard projects, covering the protection re-quirements and protection testing requirements for fixed network, mobile network, Internet, messaging network,intelligent network, access network, transport network, IP bearing network, signaling network, synchronizednetwork, supporting network and support unit of core production network.

II. Seminars on Technology and Standard

To position itself always at the frontier of the development of communication technology, CCSA has played acrucial role in supporting and facilitating the development of China's information and communication technol-ogy by strengthening its early study of information and communication standards, and holding some seminarsand promotion activities about information and communication technologies and standards.

Early studies on a number of key and hotspot technologies in the field of communication technology, suchas future mobile communication, Next Generation Network (NGN), home network, IPTV, mobile TV, emer-gency communication and ultra-broadband wireless communication, etc.

To further nurture the growth and maturity of TD-SCDMA industry, in conjunction with its in-depth studiedon HSDPA, the advanced technology TD-SCDMA,CCSA held 4 workshops, including "TD-SCDMAindustry standard amendment and HSDPA amendmentworkshop," "TD-SCDMA network planning designand optimization workshop" and "TD-SCDMA ter-minal testing and security and business testingworkshop," which trained more than 800 people fromover 100 enterprises, design and planning, researchand testing institutes.
