Advance of the Internet The Internet has become a mass medium and IPthe leading network protocol.
Advance of mobile communication Communication via mobile radio networks isstill increasing enormously.
Bandwidth evolutionThe available bandwidth is exploding and the prices for bandwidth decrease dramatically.
Convergence of digital industriesThe converging digital industry brings together parts of the broadcasting, consumer
electronics, communication, information technology, media and entertainment industries.Advance of e-commerce
E-commerce changes and amends business processes tremendously.Deregulation and globalization
The I&C markets move fast.Competition and differentiation are driven by deregulation and globalization.
Services and applications are keyThe end user is interested in services and applications only, the underlying technology is not relevant
to her or him.Reduced cost/bit

Key principles for WWRF vision
• Users are in control through intuitive interactions with applications, services and devices
• Services and applications are personalized, ambient-aware, and adaptive (I-centric) - ubiquitous from the point of view of the user
• Seamless services to users, groups of users, communities and machines (autonomously communicating devices) irrespective of place and network and with agreed quality of service
• Users, application developers, service and content providers, network operators and manufacturers can create efficiently and flexibly new services and business models based on the component-based open architecture of the wireless world
•• There is awareness of, and access to, appropriate levels of reliThere is awareness of, and access to, appropriate levels of reliability, ability, security and trustworthinesssecurity and trustworthiness, in the wireless world, in the wireless world
WWRF · page 21
Some challenges for the future wireless world 1/2
Starting point in addition to the key principles of vision : Humans• Interest in semantic• Need to control and communicate as a prolongation of their human senses
This leads to the following challenges:
I-, user- and group-centric challenges• Exceed user expectations in terms of simplicity and functionality• Enhance user experience through effortless, intuitive communication and
information browsing and retrieval applications, featuring:Natural interfaces, using all appropriate sensesIntelligence, context awareness and adaptivenessHigh degree of personalization
• Manage conflict between diversity (of needs) and simplicity (of appropriation)• Experienced added value exceeds costDevice-centric challenges• Creation and trial of many innovative devices (communicating objects)• Autonomously communicating devices• Nuts and bolts : weight, size, battery life, displays and audio quality….
WWRF · page 22
Some challenges for the future wireless world 2/2
Service-centric challenges• Seamless services irrespective of place and network and with agreed quality of
service • Support innovative applications (e.g. mobile multimedia, communicating objects) • Efficient and flexible service and business model creation -> component-based
open architecture and platform, generic service elementsSystem-centric challenges• Independent evolution of different layers, e.g. services and networks• E2E security, scalability, reconfigurability and manageability• Requirements from convergence of digital industries• IPv6 and beyondAccess Network –centric challenges• Transparent, seamless and secure access across any access networks (short
or long range, relayed, multiple hops, ad hoc) • Connect a trillion devices, including machine-to-machine and sensor networks• More efficient air interfaces and spectrum use, much higher bit rates, ubiquitous
coverage• All-IP architecture and beyond• Flexibility, cognitive radio, self-managed systems
