The projected values are calculated based on information and assumptions available today. However, there is no guarantee
that the actual results would fall in line with the projected figures, given the inherit uncertainties in projections, as well as possible
fluctuations due to future business performances and changes in internal/external circumstances, etc.

Creation of Global Common Specifications
◆ In the future, the demand for mobile internet access and
video transmission services will increase drastically, and
the volume of data traffic will far exceed that
of voice traffic.
◆ Along with globalization, mobile communications
should be made available anywhere in the world.
★ Study of radio access scheme was initiated by ITU-R
in 1985.
★ Study of signaling scheme was initiated by ITU-T in 1993.
★ Creation of global common standard specifications was
initiated by 3GPP (in1998) and 3GPP2 (in1999).
ITU and 3GPP Activities
• ITU-R
– Specifications of the Radio Interfaces
• ITU-T
– Framework and Architecture (Family Concept)
– Network Functional Model (Radio Access Network
and Core Network )
– Standardization of the interfaces between family
member systems for roaming
• 3GPP/3GPP2
– Common Technical Specifications and Technical
Reports
– Based on W-CDMA and GSM in 3GPP
– Based on cdma2000 and ANSI-41 in 3GPP2

Features of DoCoMo’s OSS
• Operator friendly
– The root cause and the range its influence is well
expressed.
– The operator can grasp the trouble and solve it
quickly.
• Cost reduction
– The operator can control the network to utilize
network resources appropriately.
– Network quality control and facility design is
realized by data flow-through.
– The operator can upgrade application software of
network elements remotely.

Wireless TCP
HTTP optimization
Wireless Transport technologies
Broader bandwidth per channel is needed, but …
Higher
transmission delay
Relatively poor communication stability, e.g., loss of
connectivity
Degradation of actual data transfer rate
Some wireless optimizations of transport and
application protocols are required.
Wireless TCP (W-TCP)
HTTP optimization
Technologies applied to Wireless TCP
• Expansion of TCP window size
– RFC793, 1323
• Utilization of Selective ACK (SACK)
– RFC2018
• Expansion of initial window size
– RFC2414, 2581
• Expansion of Maximum Transmission Unit
– RFC793

HTTP Optimization
• Performance of HTTP access over IMT-2000
network may degrade when :
– Establishing many TCP connections, e.g., a content
with too many gif pictures
– Inefficient usage of bandwidth caused by higher
transmission delay
Request pipelining improves
web access performance.

Enhanced Terminal Capability
Progress of Mobile Terminals (MTs) :
• Stronger processing power with lower
electricity consumption
• Larger size of memory and storage
• High-definition and larger color display
The capability of MTs is not equal to general
terminals used in the Internet, such as PCs.
Difference between MTs & PCs
•MTs run on batteries with small capacity.
•MTs have relatively poor processing power, memory,
storage, and a display.
Micro Browser
• Mobile terminals need special browsers, i.e.,
micro browsers in order to meet mobile-specific
requirements.
– Light-weight markup languages
• Compact HTML (CHTML)
• Extensible HTML (XHTML)
• Wireless Markup Language (WML)
Micro Browser (Cont’d)
• What is the trend of micro browser and
markup language?
– XML (eXtensible Markup Language) related
technologies
– Following the evolution of PC’s web browsers
– Expanding features to satisfy common needs in
compact devices, such as PDA

Streaming over wireless
• 3G-324M is a streaming technology optimized for
visual communications over wireless networks.
• Compared with commercialized IP based streaming
technologies, such as WMT, 3G-324M has the following
benefits :
– Stable transfer of stream data
– Better visual quality
– Quick start up of visual communications
– Cost-effectiveness
– Prevention of copying visual contents
