The major trends at a glance

• Advance of the Internet
• The Internet has become a mass medium and IP
• the leading network protocol.
• Advance of mobile communication
• Communication via mobile radio networks is
• still increasing enormously.
• Bandwidth evolution
• The available bandwidth is exploding and the
• prices for bandwidth decrease dramatically.
• Convergence of digital industries
• The converging digital industry brings together
  parts of the consumer electronics
• communication, information technology, media and
  entertainment industries.
• Advance of e-commerce
• E-commerce changes and amends business processes
  tremendously.
• Deregulation and globalisation
• The IC markets move fast.
• Competition and differentiation are driven by
  deregulation and globalisation.
• Services and applications are key
• The end user is interested in services and
  applications only, the underlying

WWI Mission and Objective
WWI Mission
Mobilising the European contribution to the
Wireless World
WWI Objective

• To define, design and validate systems and
  functions that provide
• Users with an excellent user experience,
• While minimising the financial investment required

9
WWI strategy

• WWI comprises a series of complementary
  cooperating projects in Framework Program 6 of
  the EU
• To elaborate a common vision on a beyond 3G
  system concept
• To promote the shared vision on a world-wide
  basis
• To promote pre-standardisation activities between
  the players of the global mobile market,
  including vendors, network operators, service
  providers, regulators and research communities

WWI key concept
User Centricity

• User-centricity means that the users needs,
  expectations and requirements will be considered
  and supported by all system levels, from access
  and core networks to service platforms and
  applications

11
WWI international collaboration

• Over 100 different organisations, over 50
  academic institutions
• Over 700 people working within WWI projects
• Network operators, manufacturers, universities,
  RD centres and several SMEs are partners in the
  projects
• Almost every European Member State is
  represented. Australia, Canada, China, Israel,
  Japan, Korea, Norway, Singapore and Switzerland
  are also represented by partners in the projects

Ambient Networks beyond 3G

• Realising the need for transient, spontaneous
  merging of heterogeneous networks network
  resources (composition of networks)
• Enabling competitive cooperative networking
  (with limited sharing of resources functions)
• Common Control facilities of networks
• Migration Integration of legacy networks
  technologies

E2R II enabler of seamless experience
Beyond 3G (B3G) Systems
End-to-End Reconfigurability is the key enabler
for providing a seamless experience to the
end-user and the operators ? Managing and
increasing resilience of growingly complex
architectures ? Reducing costs of communication
systems ? Providing flexibility to developers of
services and applications
Source E2R

Key objective and challenges

• Key objective Devise, develop and test
  architectural design of adaptive communication
  systems to offer expanded set of operational
  choices to users, application and service
  providers, operators, manufacturers, and
  regulators in heterogeneous mobile radio systems
• Key benefits
• Operators Scalable and reconfigurable
  infrastructure that optimises resource usage. New
  applications and technologies offered more
  efficiently. High return on investment, reduction
  of CAPEX and OPEX costs
• Service and Application Providers Open flexible
  platforms and associated execution environments.
  Deployment of enhanced features in reduced TTM
• Users Integrated telecommunication environment.
  Variety of services and applications at
  affordable prices. Ability to use reconfigurable
  equipments to reach required services at times
  and places when / where they need them
• Manufacturers Wider markets by offering
  customised solutions. Development of plug and
  play technology will ease migration to new
  standards, protocols and applications unknown as
  for today. Customer support facilitated as well
• Regulators Consolidated framework wherein the
  wireless environment should evolve. Easier
  access, better spectrum management, follow-up of
  ethical and technological rules

Scope and Objective

• MOCCA Scope
• The scope is to address mobile and wireless
  issues within
• Research Programs in European Research Area (ERA)
  and in Asia and the US,
• Researchers and projects in the ERA and their
  counterparts in the developing regions of the
  world
• Collaboration on the research and development of
  future mobile and wireless systems, including
  services and applications
• MOCCA Strategic Objective
• MOCCA will facilitate European and international
  collaboration on future mobile and wireless
  systems and their applications paving the way
  towards harmonised international standards

Conclusions

• WWI comprises a series of complementary
  cooperating projects in Framework Program 6 of
  the EU
• Major stakeholders from the
• manufacturer
• network operator
• RD center and
• academic domain
• These projects address the entire value
  constellation from a system perspective
• International cooperation is an integral part of
  WWI in order to prepare future standardisation
