The sixth topic is ‘Cloud Computing’s Impact on IT Organization’ by Mr Adi Effendi from MMU Cnergy. He started the presentation by mentioning that most of the speakers already talked about what he planned to talk about before. He managed to deliver his talk without much redundancy and explained the topic very well.

The last topic is the much talked about, ‘Mobile Cloud Computing’ by Mr Chong Pow Min. Although it is the last topic, Mr Chong caught everyone’s attention by his laid-back and audience approach style of delivering talk. He explained that Maxis is the only Telco that has its own cloud infra and service. He encouraged all SMEs to get the fund from the government through MDeC to implement cloud in their organizations.

Overall, the seminar received overwhelming responses and the total participants exceeded the original expectation. A lot of positive feedbacks were received from the evaluation forms filled by the participants. There is also a few rooms of improvements to be made such as a lot of participants requested for more hands-on learning experience and more in depth topic the next time around since we’ve already covered the basics this time.

49 13th MEETING OF WORKING PARTY 5D ON “IMT SYSTEMS”

16 - 20 JULY 2012 GENEVA, SWITZERLAND Report 4

ABSTRACT The key features of IMT-Advanced are listed in Table 1 below: This report describes the outcome from the thirteenth meeting working party 5D (WP 5D) on International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) systems which was held in Geneva, Switzerland from 16 to 20 July 2012. The meeting was attended by 127 delegates representing from various Member States and 23 Recognised Operating Agencies and 33 from Scientific or Industrial Organizations. Malaysia was represented by 2 delegates from MCMC and 1 representative from IMT WG. This report consists of section on IMT-Advanced which is briefly reviewed, followed by the background on WP 5D and its function in the development of the standards. Three main aspects discussed during the meeting such as spectrum B. IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced aspect, technology aspect and general aspect are explained International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) in details. systems provide access to a wide range of telecommunication services, supported by the fixed telecommunication networks (e.g. PSTN/ISDN/IP), and to other services which are specific to mobile users. To meet the ever increasing demand for wireless LIST OF PARTICIPANTS communication (e.g. increased no. of users, higher data rates, video or gaming services which require increased quality of service, etc.), IMT-2000 has been, and continues to be, enhanced. Figure 1 below illustrates the connection between IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced. This famous van diagram taken directly from Recommendation ITU-R M.1645 and reflects the terminology in use at the time of its adoption. Resolution ITU-R 56 defines the relationship between “IMT-2000”, the future development of IMT-2000 and “systems beyond IMT-2000” for which it also provides a new name: IMT-Advanced. Resolution ITU-R 56 resolves that the term IMT-2000 encompasses also its enhancements and future developments. The term “IMT- Advanced” should be applied to those systems, system components, and related aspects that include new radio interface(s) that support the new capabilities of systems beyond IMT-2000. The term “IMT” is the root name that encompasses both IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced collectively, hence IMT systems.

INTRODUCTION A. IMT-Advanced IMT-Advanced systems are mobile systems that include the new capabilities of IMT that go beyond those of IMT-2000. Such systems provide access to a wide range of telecommunication services including advanced mobile services, supported by mobile and fixed networks, which are increasingly packet- based. IMT-Advanced systems support low to high mobility applications and a wide range of data rates in accordance with user and service demands in multiple user environments. IMT-Advanced also has capabilities for high quality multimedia applications within a wide range of services and platforms, providing a significant improvement in performance and quality of service.

B. SWG Spectrum Sharing -- Considering the importance of this issue which will During the meeting SWG Sharing Studies was assigned by also affect the studies by other concerned SWGs, WG Spectrum Aspects addressing the following issues: it was agreed to seek more views from membership and to develop a good way forward on this matter. Figure 7 depicts the workflow of SWG estimate to prepare for the report.

D. SWG Method SWG METHOD met once during WP 5D#13. Main topic for discussion was the applicability of existing methodology (Recommendation ITU-R M.1768) in the future work towards delivering spectrum requirement estimate to JTG 4-5-6-7. In the end it was decided that in this WP 5D#13, the subgroup will not exclude the possibility to consider other methodologies and that topic will be further elaborated in the next meeting, WP 5D#14, based on input contributions. However, it was also noted the time schedule is extremely tight to submit spectrum requirement estimate to JTG 4-5-6-7. One discussion element was that maybe other methodologies could be used as benchmarking in later stage.

E. SWG Suitable Frequency Ranges C. SWG Estimate Sub-Working Group Suitable Frequency Ranges met 4 times This section briefly reports about the updates from SWG during the thirteenth meeting of WP 5D in Geneva. The sessions estimate on the future estimation of the spectrum. During were attended by over 100 delegates.

the outputs for the JTG were completed. Each concept is defined as follows (Table 4)

The meeting further agreed that the discussion within WP 5D on the suitability of frequency ranges for IMT would not address other elements relating to suitability such as I. current allocations, II. compatibility with current and planned services III. other regulatory matters, as they are outside the scope of WP 5D’s responsibilities for this Agenda item

In addition, the SWG compiled a summary of the suitability concepts raised in the contributions and a matrix of the frequency ranges proposed to this meeting and their perceived suitability for IMT, which are attached to this SWG report as Chairman’s documents for use at the next meeting. For the 14th meeting, the SWG will focus on the following: 1. Refinement of the list of suitable frequency ranges based on input contributions and a review of the ranges in Recommendations ITU-R M.2074 (Radio aspects for the terrestrial component of IMT-2000 and systems beyond IMT-2000 ) and ITU-R M.2079(Technical and operational information for identifying Spectrum for the terrestrial component of future development of IMT-2000 and IMT- Advanced ). 2. Elaboration of text regarding the suitability of each of the ranges for the further development of IMT.

The suitability concepts below are categorized for the purposes of aiding discussions within WP 5D. The terms and phrases below each concept are from the input contributions to the 13th meeting. There is overlap between the broad concepts, but having a common understanding of the concepts was thought to facilitate discussion. An example of this overlap is illustrated in the Figure 8 below.

56 Report 4

The Table 5 below reflects frequency ranges as contained in the input contributions. As noted in the SWG Chairman’s Report, the discussion within WP 5D on the suitability of frequency ranges for the further development of IMT did not address other elements relating to suitability such as current allocations, compatibility with current and planned services, and other regulatory matters, as they are outside the scope of WP 5D’s responsibilities for this Agenda item.

F. SWG Frequency Arrangement Based on the discussions, the group agreed that SWG Frequency Arrangements will conduct study and develop a Working Document [IMT.2020.ARRANGEMENTS] on channeling arrangements for IMT adapted to the frequency band below 790 MHz. The work in SWG Frequency Arrangements will focus on: • To study the harmonized channelling arrangements for IMT adapted to the frequency band below 790 MHz down to around 694 MHz for Region 1, taking into account the existing arrangements in Region 1 in the bands between 790 and 862 MHz as defined in the last version of Recommendation ITU-R M.1036, in order to ensure coexistence with the networks operated in the new allocation and the operational networks in the band 790-862 MHz.
