WP 2000 ACTION LINES FOR MOBILE AND SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS

Third Call

AL IV.5.2 Terrestrial wireless systems and networks AL: IV.5.3 Integrated satellite systems and services

Fourth Call

AL: IV.5.4: 4G system and network concepts for wireless communications

Fifth Call

AL IV.5.1: Re-configurable radio systems & networks AL: IV.5.5: Take-up Measures

IST Programme

WP 2000 ACTION LINES FOR MOBILE AND SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS Action Lines in the 3rd Call should not be seen in isolation from those called in subsequent calls: Integration of various access technologies contributes to the further longer term evolution towards 4G (4the Call) and to the further evolution of software reconfigurable systems and networks (call 5). The subsequent calls should thus open the possibility to take maximum advantage of the work put in place through the first three calls.

IST Programme

AL IV.5.2 Terrestrial wireless systems and networks

Wireless systems and networks in relation to

: • provision of interactive multimedia services for mobile terrestrial broadcasting, the multimedia home platform, and broadband wireless access; Integration mobile broadcasting.

• evolution of UMTS phase 1 towards all IP networks

It includes

• seamless service provision and transparency across a multiplicity of radio accesses •IP mobility issues with support of discrete and cellular mobility ; QoS management, radio resource control mechanisms and protocols.

• optimisation of network performance in heterogeneous contexts with a variety of asymmetric services (e.g. call admission policy, customisation of user environment) and multiple radio environments, • associated technologies for efficient dynamic spectrum usage/sharing, • technological/system aspects for the roaming of location services exploiting terrestrial or satellite location data.

IST Programme

AL: IV.5.3 Integrated satellite systems and services

•
