transactions.
Example:
± WAP is Circuit mode Data Services
± WAP over GPRS is packet mode data services
± WAP over 3G can be packet mode data services or
circuit mode data service
 Emerging Service in Future
Mobile Systems
‡ Location Dependent Information Services
± Allow user to download (or semi-automatically down
load) information, according to the location of the
mobile user.
± Allow the operator to analyze the user behavior before
providing additional information
± Additional Location Measurement Unit, Location
Computation Server or Behavior Data Mining Server
required
± Available in 2G- 3G era.
 IP and Data Service in 3G
‡ No vendor can develop the required core network from
scratch.
‡ The IP transport nodes in 3G¶s core network will be based
on today¶s IP technology, especially the IP core of GPRS
‡ Although the IP transport technology in 3G core network
is very similar to data network, the charging/billing
solution and QoS control is very different.
‡ The core network may implement IETF QoS standard
(DiffServ. etc), in addition to IMT-2000.
 IP and Data Services in 3G
‡ Open access of service platform(HLR, AAA
severs), in the form of API (OSA), in 3G network
is essential to for content provider/ISP to develop
a complete service scenario.
‡ Scenarios in GPRS can be used as examples.
‡ However, 3G¶s IP core are either router or IP
switching platform, plus mobile IP functions,
which allow possibility for integration.
 Key Features of future IP
services
‡ Must Support Mobile IP
‡ Must Support Dynamic IP address
‡ Must Support IP VPN
‡ Must Support Voice over IP
‡ With IP security requirement: firewall between
ISP and 3G core network
‡ IPv6 is essential and mandated in the long term
± Auto-configuration
± Permanent Address for every mobile station,
Information appliance.
 About WAP
‡ The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP):
± designed to improve the performance of TCP/IP under
wireless environment
± can operate over circuit mode, or packet mode,
± can operate over GSM circuit mode, GPRS, or 3G.
± Different modes of WAP have compatibility problem;
so are their handset.
‡ Although WAP may still operate over 3G, the
service is unlikely be call WAP directly.
 What is 3G applications ?
‡ Applications developed over standard 3G
wireless services and systems? or
‡ Applications developed over 3G based
systems and terminals.

We do not know what will be the killer applications«

..Be flexible and agile, keep resource ready to build
what ever is hot.
- John Zehlis, Chairman &CEO AT&T Wireless
 Experiences in I-mode
‡ Email, Information Services and Leisure Services are
equally important.
‡ The content provider can develop the same content with a
single format and provide it to both wire and wireless users.
‡ The payment agreement between operator and content
providers. (9% charged by NTT DoCoMo)

± (source: NTT DoCoMo)

 Potential Killer Applications
in Future Wireless
‡ Always-on Applications : monitoring and security
‡ Mobile e-Commerce (on-line shopping, e-coupon,
yellow page, etc.)
‡ media applications ( news broadcasting,
entertainment video, video phone, tele-
conferencing.)
‡ Intelligent Transport System (location services,
fleet management, Emergence services)
‡ Machine-to-machine communications: security
system, vending machine, energy reservation, etc.
Location Based Applications and
Services
‡ Two major modes of Location Based Services(LBS):
Handset based vs. Base-station based
‡ The handset(mobile station) approach:
‡ require GPS function for each handset. The location is
reported back to network.
± The limitation is the unavailability of GPS signal when user is in
indoor.
± Not every handset is equipped with GPS.
± FCC E911 requires 125meter by 10/1/2000. But GPS approach can
reach 50 meter or better.
Location Based Applications and
Services
‡ The base station approach: require BS to be synchronized
(via GPS) and then the difference of Time-of-Arrival from
different base station is used for location positioning.
‡ Local Measure Unit (LMU) may be required at BS.
‡ OTD(Observed Time Differences) approach is similar but
less Location Measurement Units
‡ The multi-path problem or optional repeater/leakage can
lead to serious error.
‡ There are many solutions to support 2G,2.5G or 3G.
‡ The accuracy of Location Based Services is expecting to
improve.
Application Scenario of Location
Services
‡ 119/110 Emergence Call Scenario:
± A user dials 119/110 for help and he/her
location is directly reported to the closest 119
station.
‡ Smart Car Emergency Broadcast Scenario:
± The smart car automatically report an accident
when the air bag explodes.
± The location is automatically broadcast to 119,
the insurance company, the nearby hospital, etc.
Application Scenario of Location
Services
‡ Health care applications:
± The handset is equipped/connected with health care or
monitoring devices and GPS.
± In an emergence situation, the measurement data and
location information are both reported to the medical
team.
‡ Kid Watching applications:
± The handset is with GPS and is owned by parent. The
location is reported if the father or mother requests.
 Handset/Communicator based
applications
‡ Future wireless terminal can located within many
intelligent information devices:
± Notebook, PDA
± Digital Camera,
± Office Appliance: Copy machine, Vending machine,
± Home Information Appliance
± Health care devices
± Security Alarm System, Energy metering and control
± Set Top Box
‡ The display of wireless terminals can be with
various forms.
 Challenges from ž
or 
‡ 4G is expected to solve unsolved problem in 3G:
± Speed, air interfaces, etc.
‡ 4G is expected to be with much large bandwidth
± NTT Docomo is targeting at 10Mbps-20Mbps
for B-WLL in 4G.
‡ 4G is expected to introduce new technologies such
as:
± Software radio (for all kinds of air interfaces)
± All IP and Optical network (in core network)
± Broadcasting and Mobile Convergence

 Convergence of Broadcasting
and Communications
‡ Standards for DVT soon will be determined by
DGT and MOTC.
‡ Although North American standard ATSC is
under trial, European standard DVB-T is
becoming more popular among TV broadcast
stations.
± Better support for mobility
± Better Spectrum Utilization
‡ Either support interactive mode and conditional
access
 Conditional Access and
Return Path in Digital TV
‡ The return channel of Interactive TV can be
± telephone modem
± uplink in HFC
± GSM or other mobile service
± satellite uplink channel
± other broadband access
‡ When conditional access (CA) is required, the set
top box will need additional CA module.
‡ In Taiwan, multiple CA solutions may exist,
unless enforced by government.
 Conclusions
‡ Fixed/mobile/Internet/Media sectors will
continue to merge.
‡ The collaboration between operators,
handset/IA/ PC vendors, and
application/content provider is a must.
