WWRF - Objectives and scopeWWRF - Objectives and scope

Major objectives to contribute to the vision of the Wireless World to develop and maintain a consistent vision of the Wireless World to generate, identify, and promote research areas and technical and society

trends for mobile and wireless systems towards a Wireless World to identify and assess the potential of new technologies and trends for the

Wireless World to contribute to the definition of international and national research programs

Scope concentrate on the definition of research items relevant to the future of mobile

and wireless communications, including pre-regulatory impact assessments WWRF is not a standardization body invite world-wide participation and is open to all actors


WWRF - OrganizationWWRF - Organization

WWRF provides a global platform for academia and industry to discuss results to exchange of views to identify areas where research is needed to initiate global co-operation towards systems beyond 3G

Major objective of global co-operation is to achieve harmonization of views

WWRF is an open organization with global membership WWRF is a contribution driven organization Major deliverables

Book of Visions 2000 Book of Visions 2001 White papers on certain topics under preparation Reference model These deliverables will influence research projects on global scale


Expression of Interest IExpression of Interest I

Members of the WWRF Steering Board took the initiative to develop an “Expression of Interest” for a big initiative on systems beyond third generation mobile communications

Objectives of the European Commission Increased impetus to Community's competitiveness or to address

major societal needs Mobilizing critical mass of research and technological development

resources and competence Each Integrated Project with clearly defined scientific and

technological objectives Integrated Projects may include more long-term or "risky" research Combined activities of an Integrated Project may represent a

financial size ranging from several million EUR to several tens of millions of EUR

To take into account socio-economic issues


Expression of Interest IIExpression of Interest II

The development of third generation systems was mainly technology driven

Based on this experience the development towards systems beyond third generation should be user centric

Therefore, research work has to be done on services and applications networks and radio

in close co-operation to ensure a coherent system concept and toenable harmonization


Expression of Interest IIIExpression of Interest III

International activities on systems beyond 3G ongoing, e.g. in ITU-R WP8F, ITU-T SSG and in other regions (China, Japan and Korea)

Preliminary targets for research are currently being discussed This is the basis for an intended new system concepts Goal of the initiative to investigate and develop such a system

concept including the necessary building blocks With respect to entire system concept the scope of the EoI is

rather wide towards a strategic initiative Due to the limitation in space only limited technical information

could be provided Therefore, not all the detailed available valuable information

could be included This material will be necessary for a detailed proposal


WWIP – a great opportunityWWIP – a great opportunity

EoI submitted by the Steering Board based on contributions of WWRF members

Large scale European initiative proposed – the largest ever WWIP has raised the profile of the wireless sector in the Commission

and the planning for Framework Program 6 This foreground work can be used for similar initiatives in other regions This initiative is based on WWRF achievements WWRF and WWIP are two independent organizations Planning for the WWIP has just started WWIP will include non-WWRF members and WWRF member Means for participation are own activity, invitation, open calls, ... WWIP will secure the exploitation paths of a wide range of academic

initiatives developed by the WWRF members

WWIP and other initiativesWWIP and other initiatives

Very similar EoI from operators in ETNO/EURESCOM

Both EoIs from WWRF Steering Board members and from ETNO/EURESCOM made a cross-reference to the other EoI

Both groups intend to submit a joint proposal for a big initiative

Project co-ordinators will be from all domains (manufacturers, operators, academia SMEs)

We are aware of a number of high potential NoXs and we invite them for close co-operation with WWIP

WWRF members which have no operations in Non EU member states can participate in the WWIP initiative based on special agreements between the EU and other countries


Meeting between mITF and WWRFMeeting between mITF and WWRF

mIFT and WWRF organized a meeting accompanied by representatives of Japanese Government and European Commission in London on June 27, 2002

Mutual presentation of both fora

Exchange of views on systems beyond 3G

Evaluation of potential areas of cooperation

Delegation of each group in the order of 12 to 15 participants
