A New World of Mobile Communications
From a user's perspective, future mobile communications enabled by IMT-2000/UMTS will combine personal communications with universal services. The former means wireless mobile person-to-person or person-to-machine communication instead of wired fixed station-to-station communication. Beyond the comfort to stay in contact anytime, anywhere, with anyone with a single number and bill, it includes a personalised user interface and a consistent set of personal services. On the other hand, one aspect of universality is to have seamless services in all radio environments (indoor, outdoor, suburban, urban, rural, pedestrian, vehicular, satellite) and application areas (customer premises, office, public, ...). It also includes "independence" from the terminal used, the access system, and the serving network, but is mainly characterised by the freedom of what to communicate (speech, text, data, graphic, video, ...) and how to communicate (real-time two way, messaging, paging, info retrieval ...).
This new service concept widens the market for services to be determined by users, service and content providers, not only by operators and standardisation. Among the main 3rd generation characteristics is Service Portability understood as the Virtual Home Environment (VHE) which defines a concept for portability of a personalised service environment across network boundaries and between terminals. Closely related is, beyond mere flexibility, the new freedom of service provisioning based on an Open Service Architecture (OSA). Instead of standardising services, appropriate building blocks to build services will be available in 3rd generation systems.
Using flexible bearers especially at the radio interface is essential to establish a multi service network. It requires omnipresent radio consisting of hierarchical cells. Spectral efficiency has to be improved significantly to overcome bandwidth and capacity limitations of 2nd generation radio. A major objective is to offer simultaneous data rates from narrowband up to wideband, optionally in combination with symmetrical or asymmetrical transmission.
True global service availability, i.e., also in maritime and aeronautic areas, is not possible without a satellite constellation. Therefore a satellite component is planned as integral part of IMT-2000/UMTS to complement the terrestrial segment. It completes and extends the terrestrial coverage, global intra system roaming becomes possible. Several additional roles have been considered, like disaster proof service availability, rapid global deployment of services/applications, and off-loading of terrestrial traffic to decrease blocking probability.
