It was Associate Professor Staffan Hulten who made it possible for me to join the department and who guided me into the world ofresearch. We collaborated extensively in laying the foundation for this study and Staffan has maintained an active interest throughout in my research for which I am deeply appreciative. Professor Lars-Gunnar Mattsson has consistently supported me in my research endeaV01.lr in the area ofmobile telephony and entrepreneurship. I would thank him for his invaluable help to me in finalisiI1g this study. Lars­ Gunnar Mattsson and Staffan Hulten were joined on my supervisory committee by Professor Bengt Stymne to whom I am grateful for his valuable suggestions for the completion ofthis book. Anders Lundgren has been instrumental in providing resources for my research in his role as project leader for the group pursuing telecom-related research at the department, which later became the Center for Information and Communication Research (CIC). I would like to thank him for that and for so closely involving me in the International Telecommunication Society's Conference in Stockholm in 1998. Professor BertH Thorngren laid the foundation for the telecommunication project in his management role at Swedish Telecom/Telia and consistently promoted our research group, and has over the years been an important inspiration to my research. The financial support for this study, which is gratefully appreciated, has been kindly provided by KFB, Kommunikationsforskningsberedningen, (Swedish Transport and Communications Research Board), Swedish Telecom/Telia and Ruben Rausings Fond During my tin1e at the department I have had the pleasure ofsharing an office with Dimitrios Ioannidis, facilitating lively discussion with an international flavour and an interchange ofideas stemmiI1g, in part, from our readings ofthe FT. My interest in issues on distribution is the result ofa fruitful collaboration with Per Andersson. This study has benefited immensely from numerous seminars and discussions and I would like to express my appreciation to my research colleagues: Gunnar Alexandersson, Monica Alfredsson, Karolina Brodin, Ann-Charlotte Edgren, Vlf Essler, Magnus Hagberg, Karl-Olof Hammarkvist, P-G Holmlov, C-F Helgesson, Susanne Hertz, Michael Acknowledgement I 5 Kaplan, Stewart Kowalski, Karl Oskar Kallsner, Hans Kjellberg, Anders Liljenberg, Mia Liss, Lena Nordenlow, Anna Nyberg, Jaana Simila, Ivan Snehota, Kristoffer Strandqvist, Susanne Sweet, Magnus Soderlund, and Mats Vilgon. A special thought goes to our late colleague Torbjorn Flink. Colleagues abroad have also contributed to the thesis. I am happy to count Professor Jurgen Muller as my friend and he opened possibilities to collaborate with fellow researchers in Central and Eastern Europe. Professor Karl-Ernst Schenk arranged a stay at the University of Hamburg in 1996 that were conducive in my explorations into standardisation problems. This study would not have been possible to accomplish ifthe many persons contacted in the mobile telephone industry had not given so generously oftheir time to talk to me and support my research. It has been a privilege to meet with the "founding fathers" of Swedish mobile telephony - Ake Lundqvist, Torbjorn Johnson, Carl-Gosta Asdal, Osten Makitalo, only to mention a few. A Telia financed research project on the role ofthe users provided unique opportunities to look into the role ofusers in shaping mobile telephone technology - a thanks to Jonas Storakers. Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson and Telia Mobile kindly sponsored the printing and graphic design ofthis book. Assistant Professor Ivo Zander acted as opponent in an internal seminar and I am grateful to him for contributing constructive suggestions enabling me to improve the final text. I would like to express my gratitude to George Cook who transformed my text into readable El1glish, and to Graffoto for the graphic design. My thoughts go to my parents who unfortunately are not able to read these lines which they would have done with happiness. I would like to thank my sisters Gerd, Britt and Gun and my brother Alffor being so encouraging. My two daughters Astrid and Majken have seen this book emerge but it would never have been completed without the constant support from my Lotte.

  • Migration to 3G Technology Standards: Europe, Japan, South Korea, and the U.S. by Richard Nunno, International Bureau, FCC
    Migration to 3G Technology Standards: Europe, Japan, South Korea, and the U.S. By Richard Nunno, International Bureau, FCC Revised July 21, 2003 For over a decade, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has been supporting the international effort to develop an advanced third-generation (3G) mobile telecommunications service that has a higher bandwidth than previous and existing mobile services and that subscribers can seamlessly use across international borders (known as global roaming). To that end, the ITU has identified spectrum and developed technical standards for International Mobile Telecommunications 2000 (IMT-2000), the official name for 3G services. The ITU’s World Administrative Radiocommunication Conference (WARC) in 1992 and World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) in 2000 identified several bands of spectrum that could be used for 3G services. The mobile telecommunications industry has started delivering 3G services that provide broadband applications including voice, data, and video. As defined by the ITU, 3G signal transmission rates must be able to reach 2 megabits per second (Mbps) or higher for indoor (low mobility) wireless applications (more than 35 times faster than today’s 56 kilobits per second (kbps) dial-up PC modems). 3G rates may be slower (384 kbps) for pedestrian traffic, and 144 kbps for high mobility (vehicular) traffic.1 How each country is implementing 3G systems depends on a number of factors, such as the country’s 3G spectrum allocations, the standards it adopts for 3G (if it adopts any standards vs. letting the marketplace make the decision), and the country’s current mobile telephony system configuration. Because a great deal of information and analysis is already available on the spectrum-related issues surrounding 3G implementation, this report focuses only on the technology standards issues pertaining to 3G.
