Notes taken: Exec Round Table Discussion

Dude from Siemens:
Performance increase by 100X every 5 yrs
Experimentation currently at 1Gbs

Higher frequencies aimed at for 4g have less coverage.

Dude from board of every 4 letter acronym known to man:
(KDDI R&D) Dr. Yasuo Hirate

Japan uses W-CDMA (90 mil users)

Aimed at 100Mbs by 2010

Fixes mobile convergence
Seamless network of mobile and wireless lan
Integration, Seamless, Barrier Free
Convergence of Fixed, Wireless, Cellular and Digital Broadcast

Dude from Qualcomm, formerly AT&T Bell Labs:
Anil Kripalani
Ubiquitous Search and Discovery

Coming soon: Phones with hard-disks and 7.1 Mega pixel camera

Dude from Nokia:
Dr. Jan Bosch
“Lifepod” – Record everything

Dude from Saumsung:
Dr. Young Kyun Kim
Telecoms and Broadcasting convergence
4g : IP Ubiquitous Network
Mobile terminal as gateway to WiLan, BT, RFID, IrDA and IP Network
IPv6 based network
2 paths to 4G, 1 is the cellular path 1G, 2G, 3G ( , 2nd path is the “nomadic” path, wlan, BT, Zigbee, RFID ( 4G
WiBro (Mobile WiMax), ubiquitous networks in Korea
Apec summit in Nusan Korea will demo large volume VoD, MoD

Dude from Intel:
Dan Dahle
3g for WAN
WiMax for MAN
WiFi for LAN
UWB and BT fot PAN
NFC, RFID
Wireless Requirement
Throughput, Latency, tolerance for loss, mobility, interference, capacity, bandwidth, throughput, power consumption, complexity

Dudette from Alcatel:
Simplicity, continuum of service
Heterogeneous Access Management required for multiple radio systems.
Multi-radio terminal, transparent to user and power-wise
IMS architecture enabler of new applications


Summary
4G is a network of networks, it is a solution looking for a problem.
Terminal has to accommodate converged radio networks.
