3 Technical Topics• The Relationship between Standards and Open Source• The Relationship between Web 2 0 and IMS Web 2 0• Smart Grids

8 Topics impacting ETSI processes• Actions from Dialogic Member Survey report.• Clustering of Technical Activities.• Further development of the ETSI Green Agenda.• Involvement in the debate on European Standardization.• Involvement of SMEs in ETSI.• Review of ETSI Future Mission and Structure.• Enhancement of ETSI Pre-Standardization Groups.• Co-operation with Brazil, Russia, India, China (BRIC).

Strategic Topics for 2010

Growing standardization(1) TC RRS: Reconfigurable Radio Systems (created March 2008)

• Change from feasibility studies to standardization in September 2009

• Help improve spectrum efficiency• Allow a terminal to adapt dynamically to the technology offered by

the network, changing its transmission parameters dynamically to avoid interference with other services/terminals

TC MCD: Media Content Distribution (created November 2008)• Standards for digital media distribution across unicast, multicast

and broadcast networks• First three parts of MCD framework were published, providing an

overview of different interest areas, the views and needs of content providers, and regulatory issues, social needs and policy matters.

6

Growing standardization (2) TC M2M: Machine to Machine (created November 2008)

• Defining end-to-end high level architecture for provision of value-added M2M services based on a horizontal market models

• Coordinating ETSI’s work on smart metering interoperability mandate (M/441)

TC AERO: Aeronautics (created September 2009)• Mandated standards in support of the Single European Sky

Interoperability Regulation and HSs under R&TTE Directive for ground ATM equipment

• Support interoperability of the European Air Traffic Management Network (EATMN)

7

ETSI Major contributors … ERM: Electromagnetic Compatibility and Radio Spectrum Matters

• “System Reference Documents” identifying spectrum needs for new radio systems, as the basis for spectrum sharing studies in CEPT

• “Harmonized Standards” to allow radio equipment to be placed on the EU/EFTA market

• Aeronautical, maritime, automotive, medical, radar, Ultra Wide Band, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

TISPAN: Telecoms & Internet converged Services & Protocols for Advanced Networks• IPTV new services, service and content protection, content delivery

networks• Business trunking NGCN-NGN implementation guideline• RFID security• Energy Efficiency in customer premises networks• Core network and customer premises network QoS control

8

… and 3GPP 3GPP Release 9 and Release 10

• Release 9 frozen in December 2009• Release 10 under preparation (containing more than 70 new

features/studies including IMT-Advanced) • This has led to a very high workload in terms of specifications

delivery MCC support services in great demand

• More than 10 000 change requests (CRs) processed in 2009 (a 60% increase over 2008)

• Target of 1 week to implement all CRs following the TSG meetings, largely being met

• Error rate remains low (3 errors in 1000 implementations) 3GPP meetings

• Increased Asian participation (typically 50% of meeting participants are from Asian region)

• A “Mega” meeting took place in Feb 2010 (11 working groups co-located, with more than 1000 delegates)

• MCC provision of IT services at such meetings successful 9

New standardization ISG INS: (Identity and access management for Networks and Services)

- September 2009• Utilize activities of ongoing R&D projects on Identity Management

(IdM) to enable a pre-standardization consensus on Identity Management protocols and architectures

ISG MOI: (Measurement Ontology for IP traffic) - September 2009 • Defining an ontology to describe information about IP traffic

measurements in order to allow complex systems for IP network monitoring based on different infrastructures

ISG ORI: (Open Radio equipment Interface) – March 2010• Developing an open interface for remote radio-head equipment for

mobile cellular systems• Based on requirements work in NGMN OBRI Project, and strongly

supported by NGMN Board

10

Industry Specification Group (ISG) Industry Specification Group: a special type of ETSI committee

• Focused activity, designed for quick establishment• a mechanism to specifically address the needs of a forum or

consortium Ideal for Pre-Standardization

• Bringing research results into Standards• can evolve into a full ETSI Technical Body later

ISG advantages• is fast and easy to set up, approved by DirectorGeneral • Flexible and adaptive• has its own operating rules (including voting rules)• relies on the well proven ETSI IPR policy

The ETSI Secretariat will provide basic support free of charge Specifications from an ISG are official ETSI deliverables (GS) 11

IPR Database Restructuring Project (DARE)

New ETSI IPR database with significant new features:• improved transparency• better handling of Patent Family information• automatic updating and reporting• linkage to EPO database• reworked user interface (ergonomics, statistics, overviews).

 Timeline:• field testing by ETSI members from August 2010• Acceptance testing scheduled for end of 2010• DARE system expected to be operational in Q1 2011

12

Protocol Specification, Validation and Testing• Supporting ETSI committees on the application of best technical

practices in standards on a daily basis• Protocol specification (UML, ASN.1, MSC, XML etc)• Development of test specifications (conformance and

interoperability)• Validation techniques

ETSI Interoperability testing (Plugtests™)• Validation of standards and prototypes through interoperability

events www.etsi.org/plugtests ETSI TTCN-3 User Conferences (T3UC)

• Sophia Antipolis (June 2009)• Bangalor (November 2009)

www.ttcn-3.org/TTCN3UC_INDIA2009/T3UC_Asia2009.htm

• Beijing (June 2010)

In ETSI Interoperability is Key

13

ETSI Plugtests™ events Aim is to validate standards

• Not implementations or products• Feedback (CRs) to relevant technical bodies

But testing and debugging are useful by-products!• Achieve in one week what would take months otherwise

A tool to develop and mature standards Promote technology and community

ETSI Provides a complete service•Admin/Logistics support

•Technical Support

•Testing Expertise
