PHS MoU Group Workshop

WILLCOM

1."Promotion & Killer Application" by Mr. Fujii
 composed of nationwide 160 thousands cell stations. Differentiation from other companies' flat-rate services will also be made within a limited range. Further, an expansion of the PHS handset's possibilities, promotion of other industries to enter into the PHS market and the effect of reducing price can be expected with WILLCOM-Subscriber Identification Module (W-SIM) used in the mobile communication terminal "W-ZERO3". WILLCOM will aim at market expansion by meeting demands for kids, medical facilities etc., strengthening partnership with contents providers such as those for stock exchange site.
WILLCOM has realized both voice and 
data flat-rate service by taking full 
advantage of microcell network 


2."PHS beyond 3G" by Mr. Yoshioki Chika
  WILLCOM is fully responsible for design, integration and operation of the PHS system 
and developing the PHS business variously with unlimited flat-rate service, SIM style etc.  
High-speed communication can be realized without environmental influences at extremely 
high-efficiency frequency utilization thanks to ultra high-density microcell planning. The key 
is not its communication speed but frequency utilization efficiency. Advanced PHS (APHS) 
reinforced by IP access, half-rate technology etc. has a capability close to that of 3.5G 
phones. Further, WILLCOM will be promoting the next generation PHS for wireless 
broadband services.


Lucent Technologies

"China PHS Business Review" by Mr. Nathan Liu
have reached 92 million which is 45% of the fixed 
telephone subscribers' net increase. Services 
have also been diversified. Lucent's networks 
based in Quanzhou, Fujian and Qingdao, Shandong 
markets have very high-performance. Lucent will 
be realizing 2.5G PHS by introducing packet 
technology etc. from now on. Even for successful 
introduction of packet into the Chinese market, all 
concerned parties should share information and 
cooperate. The PHS MoU Group Secretariat's 
strong support would be very much appreciated.
In China, accumulated PHS subscribers

"Target on China Market, Promote Packet Service" by Mr. Andrew Zhang
getting small and some cities tended to 
experience slight subscriber decrease. Now a 
small-scale network design and network 
optimization have become the mainstream and 
the competition among the mobile phone 
service providers has become very severe, it's 
possible to activate the PHS market by 
introducing packet service into the Chinese 
market and make that diffuse there. Therefore, 
new business model should be established prior 
to 3G in cooperation with the terminal vendors 
and the PHS MoU Group Secretariat in addition 
to the system vendors.
Even in the world's biggest Chinese PHS 
market, new subscriber numbers are 


UTStarcom

"PHS Solution Evolution"by Mr. Pun Lam
continuously conducting the worldwide development of an IP access network, reduction of the seamless HandOver (H/O) time, capacity increase of the Short Messaging Service (SMS), an introduction of packet service and Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) etc. As for the introduction of new packet service, there will be a possibility of various markets and applications. Further, UTStarcom will be promoting the PHS business by opening the Value Added Service (VAS) platform as an incentive for other companies to enter into this business and by enriching the service contents as well.
UTStarcom has been supplying telecommunication equipment worldwide.  For further development, UTStarcom is 


ArrayComm

"Pitfalls of Modern OFDM Air Interfaces"by Mr. Peter Khoury
  Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) are to be 
made. The bigger the window in time/frequency, 
the more accurately frequency/time offset can 
be measured. Specific pilots for each user can 
be used for such measurement, however, those 
number must be sufficiently bigger than the total 
number of sources and have low cross 
correlation as well. If the interference is 
averaged, valuable source of diversity will be 
provided to the system. Different Pseudo 
Random Bit Sequence (PRBS) is to be used 
during retransmission of failed packet and the 
minimum traffic amount is necessary for 
maximum efficiency.
ArrayComm has a history of having worked on variety of air interfaces and here a few suggestions based on its experiences particularly on Orthogonal
