The major trends at a glance The major trends at a glance The major trends at a glance

Advance of the Internet The Internet has become a mass medium and IPthe leading network protocol.

Advance of mobile communication Communication via mobile radio networks isstill increasing enormously.

Bandwidth evolutionThe available bandwidth is exploding and the prices for bandwidth decrease dramatically.

Convergence of digital industriesThe converging digital industry brings together parts of the consumer electronics, communication, information technology, media and entertainment industries.

Advance of e-commerceE-commerce changes and amends business processes tremendously.

Deregulation and globalizationThe I&C markets move fast.Competition and differentiation are driven by deregulation and globalization.

Services and applications are keyThe end user is interested in services and applications only, the underlying technology is not relevant to her or him.

Key principles for WWRF vision

Key principles for WWRF vision

Users are in control through intuitive interactions with applications, services and devicesServices and applications are personalized, ambient-aware, and adaptive (I-centric) - ubiquitous from the point of view of the userSeamless services to users, groups of users, communities and machines (autonomously communicating devices) irrespective of place and network and with agreed quality of serviceUsers, application developers, service and content providers, network operators and manufacturers can create efficiently and flexibly new services and business models based on the component-based open architecture of the wireless world

WWRF

Some challenges for the future wireless world 1/2Some challenges for the future wireless world 1/2

Starting point in addition to the key principles of vision : HumansInterest in semanticNeed to control and communicate as a prolongation of their human senses

This leads to the following challenges:

I-, user- and group-centric challengesExceed user expectations in terms of simplicity and functionalityEnhance user experience through effortless, intuitive communication and information browsing and retrieval applications, featuring:

Natural interfaces, using all appropriate sensesIntelligence, context awareness and adaptivenessHigh degree of personalization

Manage conflict between diversity (of needs) and simplicity (of appropriation)Experienced added value exceeds cost

Device-centric challengesCreation and trial of many innovative devices (communicating objects)Autonomously communicating devicesNuts and bolts : weight, size, battery life, displays and audio quality….

WWRF

Some challenges for the future wireless world 2/2Some challenges for the future wireless world 2/2

Service-centric challengesSeamless services irrespective of place and network and with agreed quality of service Support innovative applications (e.g. mobile multimedia, communicating objects) Efficient and flexible service and business model creation -> component-based open architecture and platform, generic service elements

System-centric challengesIndependent evolution of different layers, e.g. services and networksE2E security, scalability, reconfigurability and manageabilityRequirements from convergence of digital industriesIPv6 and beyond

Access Network –centric challengesTransparent, seamless and secure access across any access networks (short or long range, relayed, multiple hops, ad hoc) Connect a trillion devices, including machine-to-machine and sensor networksMore efficient air interfaces and spectrum use, much higher bit rates, ubiquitous coverageAll-IP architecture and beyondFlexibility, cognitive radio, self-managed systems
