The 176thGlobal Standards Collaboration meeting (Jeju, May 13 - 16, 2013Halifax, 31 October – 3 November 2011)
Recognizing:
a)that Resolution ITU-R 56 describes a naming scheme for International Mobile Telecommunications whereby “IMT-Advanced” applies to those systems, system components, and related aspects that include new radio interface(s) that support the new capabilities of systems beyond IMT-2000;
b)that Resolution ITU-R 57 outlines the essential criteria and principles that will be used in the process of developing the Recommendations and Reports for IMT-Advanced, including Recommendation(s) for the radio interface specification;
c)that ITU-R Study Group 5 and ITU-T Study Group 13are continuing studies on IMT (encompassing both IMT-2000,and IMT-Advanced and the future of IMT);
d)that the ITU-R Radio Assembly 2012 approved specifications and standardsStudy Group 5 has completed the evaluation of candidate technologies for IMT-Advanced;
e)that core network(s) are increasingly becoming access technology agnostic;
f)that IMT and other rapidly emerging wireless broadband access technologies will make high-speed wireless access services available where this was not previously possible, thereby enabling access to advanced telecommunication, computing and entertainment services and capabilities, not only for urban but also for rural and other low density environments;
g)that WRC-07 identified some additional spectrum for the implementation of IMT systems;
h)that WRC-12 may approveda new Aagenda iItem 1.1 for WRC-15 to consider additional spectrum allocations to the mobile service on a primary basis and identification of additional frequency bands for IMT and related regulatory provisions, to facilitate the development of terrestrial mobile broadband applications, conduct studies for additional spectrum to be madewhich can be available beyond 2016;
i)that the UN Broadband Commission has identified broadband as a key infrastructure for developing economies;and
j)that work on evolution of the radio technologies may converge to use similar techniques; and
k)j)that there are related international, regional and national research activities in this area.
Resolves:
1)to encourage 3GPP, 3GPP2, IEEE, Participating Standards Organizations (PSOs)GSC Members and others to continue to work on enhancing the IMT standards as an essential part of future telecommunication, computing and entertainment standards;
2)to encourage use of IMT technologies for broadband services;
2)3)to encourage universities and researchers to conduct research on IMT technologies, related spectrum issues and applications for IMT;
3)4)to encourage the harmonization of candidate proposals for the radio interfacetechnologies for IMT and related networking standards;
4)5)to invite 3GPP, 3GPP2, IEEE,PSOs GSC Members and others to take care of the evolution of the current systems and the long-term evolution for such systems taking into account copyrights, working procedures, IPR aspects etc. and report to the next meeting for review;
5)6)to exchange information and views on any additional candidate radio interface technologies for IMT-Advanced among PSOs GSC Members allowing for efficient, effective and timely development updates of the IMT-Advanced standard and to continue this exchange for the detailed specifications for IMT-Advanced;
6)7)to exchange information and views with goal of encouraging the study adoption at WRC-12 of a newon WRC-15 aAgenda iItem 1.1 on additional spectrum allocations to the mobile service and identification of additional frequency bands for IMTIMT spectrum issues, with the view to improve access to additional spectrum and global harmonization;
7)8)to exchange information and views on the analysis and assessment of global broadband wireless services, traffic, marketandrelated consumer demand for IMT in line with the ITU-R ongoing work on this topic;
8)9)toencouragethe Task Force under the GRSC to actively help in the exchange of information and views mentioned in 56) to 78), with the goal of consensus building; and
9)10)to review this Resolution at future GSC meetings as required.
