13、nd unify the diverse systems we see in the mid-1990s into a radio infrastructure capable of offering a wide range of services around the year 2000 in many different environments, including the wireless aspects of personal communications services. IMT-2000 will provide access, by means of one or more

14、 radio links, to a wide range of telecommunication services supported by the fixed telecommunications networks (e.g. public switched telephone networkhntegrated services digital network (PSTNASDN), and to other services which are specific to mobile users. A range of mobile terminal types is encompas

15、sed, linking to terrestrial or satellite-based networks, and the terminals may be designed for mobile or fixed use. Key features of IMT-2000 are: - - - high service quality, - worldwide seamless roaming, - high degree of commonality of design worldwide, compatibility of services within IMT-2000 and

16、with the fixed networks, use of a small pocket terminal worldwide. In order to maximize benefit from investment in mobile systems that are currently in service or will be introduced prior to IMT-2000 (these systems are referred to as pre-IMT-2000), it would be desirable to identify ways in which the

17、se systems can evolve towards IMT-2000. This would also ease the introduction of IMT-2000 itself and may enable a higher degree of reuse in the network infrastructure, system concepts, and/or technologies than would be possible otherwise. This issue is being considered on the basis that pre-IMT-2000

18、 systems may already possess some features and may undergo further development to enable an evolution path towards IMT-2000. It is also recognized that this approach may be most appropriate for those systems that operate in frequency bands close to the bands identified for IMT-2000. 2 Terminology an

It is expected that this vision may be expanded to include additional goals and object

32、ives as the work on IMT-2000 is progressed. 3.1 Quality of service 3.1.1 Voice quality, coverage, and cost Market studies have consistently shown that when customers are asked what things are important to them in their current wireless service, three issues arise: 1) voice quality, 2) coverage, 3) c

33、ost. Therefore, third generation systems must first address these primary customer demands, i.e. enable improved voice quality, support more ubiquitous and seamless coverage capabilities, and allow operators to offer services at a competitive price. 3.1.2 Quality of service aspects - Transmission an

34、d delay With the range of services expected, both the transmission quality and delay need to be adapted over a very wide range, together with the bandwidth and data rates. For mobile speech and video services, the maximum bit error ratio is usually specified at 1 x le3, while for data services, 1 x

35、le6 is required from the Radio Access system (RAS). These error rates for radio are significantly worse than those provided by fixed networks and so the speech coders or data adapters must provide the necessary user service quality. The delay requirement atulbuted to the Radio Access pari of todays

36、second generation systems is about 50 ms. Other parts of the system take the overall figure up to 90 ms (one way). In itself, for speech applications, this delay is unobtrusive, but compounded by other delays (tandem systems, satellite links, etc.) it can become a problem and so improvements are alw

37、ays desirable. For multimedia data services, there is likely to COPYRIGHT International Telecommunications Union/ITU RadiocommunicationsLicensed by Information Handling Services STDeITU-R RECMN flm3308-ENGL 3997 m 4855232 0532392 b92 m 90 Rec. ITU-R M.1308 be a huge variation in demanded delay, and

38、this will be an important aspect of service adaptation provided by operators in conjunction with adaptive terminals. Varying degrees of channel asymmetry may also be required. In order to allow much greater scope for mobile network operators to improve the perceived quality of their networks, this a

39、spect will be one of the main applications for the adaptive, software downloadable capability of IMT-2000 terminals. 3.1.3 Increased efficiency and capacity The clear trend is toward significant growth in the worldwide wireless subscriber base. Each wireless operator must prepare to meet this growth

40、. Third generation systems must, therefore, provide operators with economical and efficient means for providing service to their growing customer base. Any new systems must provide increases in network efficiencies as well as new services so that operators are motivated to deploy them. The challenge

41、 for third generation systems is to achieve better spectrum usage than any second generation system for voice communication and also to maintain optimum spectrum usage for all services at all times, despite their differing demands for data rates, symmetry, channel quality and delay. 3.2 New services

42、 and capabilities 3.2.1 Raising the bar Providing improvements in the three areas of voice quality, coverage and cost, while mandatory for third generation, will not be enough for the customers of the future. A rich range of services accessible in a variety of means will be needed to address the nee

43、ds of the customers after the year 2000. In effect, the services available from the next generation of systems must Raise The Bar in capabilities in every way, enabling new voice and data service that are not currently available with first and second generation technologies. 3.2.2 Increasing demand

44、for high bandwidth services (data, image, multimedia, etc.) The mobile office concept utilizing wireless notebooks on a wireless Wide Area Network will likely be a reality by the year 2000 and as such will require much more bandwidth than is possible today. Similarly, other wireless image transmissi

45、ons services are likely to be available, e.g. medical images for doctors, real-time road maps for vehicles, etc. Some administrations have already made considerable spectrum allocations in other bands to address the growing interest in high bandwidth packetized wireless data communications in the of

46、fice or classroom environments. Systems are envisioned which offer the possibility of very high bandwidths, at least for small area coverage systems, such as indoor or other high density applications such as sports stadiums, shopping malls etc. Important challenges are to provide means for integrati

47、ng and interworking between networks in other bands and IMT-2000, and to provide the technology at low cost. 3.2.3 Bandwidth on demand Third generation concepts impose the requirement to provide broadband services, interworking with broadband ISDN. This has been clarified to meh wireless access to t

48、he information highway for multimedia applications. Multimedia can address a huge range of data rates, from simple low rate paging messages, through voice to high rates associated with video or file transfer. Therefore the RAS should be capable of providing bandwidth on demand. Some applications, su

49、ch as software download, will require a highly asymmetrical data capability, requiring high rates in one direction, but much lower rates on the return path. Furthermore, some of these services require continuous transmission (such as desktop videoconferencing), some are bursty by nature, others require low delay and others require absolute integrity. The variable nature of the radio channel has already been mentioned; therefore the maximum throughput will be equally dynamic, requiring adaptive bandwidth from the RAS.
