SG 8 Seminar
WP 8F Scope (1)
IMT-2000, defined by a set of interdependent ITU
Recommendations. International Mobile
Telecommunications-2000, also known as the Third
Generation Mobile Systems, fulfils the goal of
making anywhere, anytime communications a
reality.  As a strategic priority of ITU,
IMT-2000 provides a framework for world-wide
wireless access by considering a highly capable
wireless system of terrestrial and/or satellite
based networks.

• WP 8F is responsible for the overall radio
  system aspects of IMT-
• 2000 and beyond.

• It has the prime responsibility within ITU-R
  Study Group 8 for
• issues related to the terrestrial component
  of IMT-2000 and beyond

SG 8 Seminar
WP 8F Scope (2)

• It liaises with ITU-T on network-related
  standardisation activities of
• IMT-2000 and beyond, and with ITU-D in
  relation to the application
• of IMT-2000 in developing countries.

• It maintains strong cooperative efforts with
  external organizations
• and defined standards development
  organisations (SDOs).

• It works closely with Working Party 8D on
  issues related to the
• satellite component of IMT-2000 and beyond.

• It is the lead group for the overall
  maintenance of existing and
• development of new Recommendations on
  IMT-2000, collaborating
• with Working Party 8D on the satellite
  elements.

SG 8 Seminar
WP 8F Scope (3)

• WP 8F constructs the future of IMT-2000 and
  beyond by looking at a
• long-term vision and coordinating this with
  spectrum needs.

• WP 8F considers these broad areas of impact in
  their work 
• the needs of the evolving marketplace for
  future wireless communications,
• the technologies required to fulfill those
  needs,
• the spectrum which is the natural resource of
  wireless,
• other issues associated with the world-wide
  advancement of IMT-2000 systems. 

• A key element is the considerations of the
  needs of developing
• countries and how IMT-2000 can
  appropriately be tuned to meet
• those needs.

Peter Scheele, Germany, for the Chairman of WP 8F

SG 8 Seminar
WP 8F Scope (4)

• WP 8F provides a focal point for
  considerations on spectrum
• implications of the future development of
  IMT-2000. 

• WP 8F is providing clarification of spectrum
  requirements as input
• to WRCs, considering spectrum requirements
  and recognizing the
• marketplace and the future development of
  systems beyond IMT-
• 2000.

• WP 8F works closely with the ITU-T Special
  Study Group on IMT-
• 2000 to ensure that IMT-2000 is considered
  from a coordinated
• system perspective.
