  1. Harmonization and Convergence of IMT-2000 Systems Presented at 3GPP2 Vision WorkshopSan Diego, CAJuly 12~13, 2002 Dr. Young Kyun Kim ITU-T SSG/WP3 Chairman Senior Vice President Samsung Electronics youngkyunkim@samsung.com

  2. Outline • Industry Trends • Core Network Harmonization • Benefits of Harmonization • Recent IP CN Workshop in Toronto • Role of ITU-T SSG on “IMT-2000 and Beyond” • Studies in WP3/SSG • Harmonization • Fixed/Mobile Convergence • Concluding Remarks

  3. Industry Trends • 3G systems are evolving to provide enhanced capabilities to meet end-user needs. • 3G CNs are migrating towards a common packet-switched architecture using IETF protocols. • Service providers are moving towards support for an IP-based multimedia service concept. • Convergence of fixed and wireless networks provides additional synergy.

  4. Harmonization Objective • A harmonized CN solution can • Foster global roaming across all evolving IMT-2000 systems • Facilitate cost-effective IMT-2000 network deployments based on the standardized open interfaces • Stimulate the commercial uptake of IMT-2000 services • Harmonized CN standard should give network operators ability to deploy new services without adverse impact on other common systems

  5. Drivers for CN Harmonization • Extended Service Opportunity • Operators are suffering from the heterogeneity of the core networks since those limit the opportunity of service transparency, seamless roaming and common application • IP based Trend • Service creation over IP based CN could become easier • The direction of moving toward IP based multimedia service • Promising Aspect of Access Transparency • Increasing heterogeneity of access technologies (i.e., UTRAN, cdma2000 RAN, WLAN) give rise to the strong need for IP based CN

  6. Harmonization Benefits • Benefits for Users: • Easy Roaming • Variety of Services • Reduced User cost • Benefits for Vendors: • Open architecture • Single Platform • Benefits for Network Operators: • Reduce Deployment cost • Facilitate service transparency • Provide high commonality and feasibility that will accelerate deployment of IP multimedia services

  7. Harmonized IP Core Network Concept of a common CN designed to ensure service transparency between evolving IMT-2000 systems and having an IP-based architecture Services Harmonized IP CN W-CDMA RAN cdma2000 RAN World Handset World Handset W-CDMA Radio Interface cdma2000 Radio Interface

  8. IP CN Harmonization Workshop • IP CN Workshop in Toronto (3-4 April 2002) addressed following points: • Priority areas for harmonization were identified • Alignment of 3GPP IMS and 3GPP2 MMD was recognized • A high-level “IMS Harmonization Reference Model” was recommended for adoption by 3GPPs • Support was given for aligning terminology, the functional entities and interfaces in 3GPPs Reference Model • Future interactions among 3GPPs and IETF will be anticipated • Promotion of harmonization activities • Continue work on common evolution strategy taking into account the output from ITU-T SSG

  9. Fixed & Mobile Convergence • Global roaming for the users irrespective of the access mechanism or the technology. Extend 3G services to other areas where 3G radio technology is not available • Access of the same set of services that a user gets in his home network, depending on the fixed terminal capability like no terminal mobility • Development of mechanisms to support a foreign subscriber’s registration and authentication, and access to the service profile server of the home network by the visiting fixed network

  10. SSG Work Topics and Relationships SSG WP 2/SSG WP 1/SSG WP 3/SSG Q.2/Q.6/SSGMobility management & Harmonization For consideration by: Q.1/SSGVision Operator Inputs Q.3/SSGID Systems Q.7/SSGConvergence Q.5/SSGHandbook Q.8/SSGProcedures Showing dependencies and relative time perspectives.

  11. Q.6/SSG Task Objectives • Harmonization of Existing and Evolving IMT-2000 Systems • Establish co-operative working arrangements with external organizations to ensure that work does not overlap with external organizations • Identify and study the degree of harmonization of existing IMT-2000 networks and document these in an appropriate manner. • Identify and study appropriate harmonization issues of the existing IMT-2000 systems where harmonization may be desired; document appropriately. • Develop harmonization proposals for evolving IMT-2000 systems, document appropriately for consideration by the Partnership Projects and SDOs as part of their evolution plan

  12. Q.7/SSG Task Objectives • Convergence of fixed and existing IMT-2000 systems • The foundation for migration paths to interoperable and harmonized network architectures to provide service transparently to users across different network access arrangements • Studies on network aspects and protocol requirements for Service Provisioning, Mobility Management, Session Control, and Bearer Control • Initial output document will describe principles and requirements for convergence of public fixed networks and existing IMT-2000 networks

  13. WP3/SSG Near-term Role • Value addition by providing near term requirements such as • a common access mechanism for Emergency Services • standard interfaces for lawful interception • other security issues in such a way that they are independent of the type of network.

  14. Concluding Remarks • IP CN Harmonization is of great help for seamless roaming and enables common applications and services • Must consider the view of operators’ evolution plan • Seminar participants are encouraged to submit contributions to progress ITU-T SSG work in the area of Harmonization and Fixed/Mobile Convergence • Rapporteurs meeting is scheduled from September • 9 – 13 in Seoul, Korea.
