Dec 2014 News article from CCSA Website

On 24th December, 2014, “Thirteenth CCSA General Assembly” was held in Beijing. Vice

Minister of MIIT Mao Weiming, Chief Engineer of SAC Yin Minghan presented and

delivered speeches. The Chairman of CCSA Board of Directors Wu Hequan, Secretary

General Yang Zemin co-chaired the meeting. Over 240 representatives from relevant

departments and bureaus of MIIT and SAC, head of relevant associations and institutes,

observers and members of CCSA, chairs of technical committees, members of Expert

Consulting and Technical Management Committees joined the meeting

After the establishment of CCSA, it has formulated over 3000 national and industrial

standards, encompassing nearly 200 patent technologies that lead innovation and technology

R&D among enterprises. The associations has standardized numerous aspects in supporting

the government, serving the society and consumers. Meantime, the association dedicates to

foster the formulation of international standards based on the outcome of China’s domestic

standardization, accelerating domestic technical innovation with advanced international

technologies. CCSA organized members to formulate over 380 international standards and

attained a series of key technologies, achieving breakthrough in discourse power of

international standardization.

Last, Vice Minister Mao Weiming raised several hopes and suggestions for better

development of CCSA.

The first is to have clear objectives. Adhere to the requirements of the Technical

Seminar of the National Industrial and Information System, making the

transformation of the industry structure and the mode of growth the key mission of

standardization innovation.

Secondly, support the development of industries and encourage the pioneering role of

information technology; Seize the chance to launch the standardization in the area of

the next generation of internet and telecommunication, cloud computing, big data and

the internet of things; Promote the integration of IT application and industrialization,

the upgrade of traditional industries and the growth of emerging industries;

Emphasize the importance of cyber and information security as well as the protection

of consumer rights.

Thirdly, actively engage in the formulation of international standards and

standardization and seek to lead the formulation of all or part of international

standards in 5G and other fields. Lastly, keep up with the latest trend and strength the

advancement of the association itself; Involve in the reform of standardization system;

Perform well in serving its members; Fulfill every task that is delegated by the

government

Chief Engineer Yin Minghan, on behalf of SAC, congratulated on the success of this

conference. He acknowledged the achievements and progress made by CCSA in

standardization over the past twelve years, especially in 2014, when it established a scientific

and reasonable framework for standardization, concretely promoted the development of key

technical standards, bolstered the information communication service and boosted the

transformation and upgrade of telecommunication industry.

Meantime, he introduced the general picture and mission of national standardization:

First is to establish efficient and professional standardization coordination

mechanism;

Second is to streamline mandatory standards;

Third is to optimize and improve voluntary standards;

Fourth is to cultivate and develop consortium standards;

Fifth is to welcome and activate the development of enterprise standards;

Sixth is to elevate the level of internationalization of standards.

Some specific measures for reform, such as consortium standards, have already listed CCSA

into the first pilot organizations of consortium standards, hoping these pilot organizations

would summarize and develop an operational mode that “the government plays a leading

role, the enterprises are the driving force and associations provide platforms”.

At last, Chief Engineer Yin Minghan expressed his hopes and suggestions for future works.

He hopes that CCSA will enhance reform, innovation and exploration and further practice

“Development Plan for the Standardization of Strategic Emerging Industries”. With the

progress of technology and the development of technical standards, the transformation and

upgrade of information communication industry will be possible. CCSA is also expected to

take advantage of its rich experience and foundation in international standardization process,

promoting the internationalization of China’s independently developed technologies and its

domestic standards, so that it would help Chinese industries gain greater power in leading

international standardization and pave the way for Chinese enterprises to thrive in

international market.

The Deputy Chairman of the CCSA Board Wen Ku announced the winning projects of the

“2014 CCSA Award of Science and Technology”. 2 projects, including the “Terminal

Translation Based on IPv6 Transitory Technology” and its 41 IETF international, industrial

and enterprise standards, won the first prize. 12 projects, including 29 3GPP international

standards under the “CDMA and LTE Hybrid Networking Technology” won the second

prize. 9 projects won the third prize, which include 3 industrial standards of “Technical

Specification for Internet Data Center and Information Security Management System of

Internet Access Service”.

The Deputy Chairman of the CCSA Board and Secretary General Yang Zemin made a report

on 2014 annual works of the association. Representatives deliberated on the “2014 Annual

Work Report” and put forward very good comments and suggestions.

Secretary General Yang Zemin said, CCSA continued to prioritize the support of the work of

the government this year, researching a series of standards that are needed for industry

supervision and public service, such as “Broadband China”, Smart City, Network and

Information Security, Energy-saving and Environment Protection, Non-barrier of

Information, etc.

At the same time, the association revolved around the development of industries and

launched commendable works on 4G, IPV6, OTN, the internet of things as well as energy-

saving and emission reduction.

Supporting innovative development of members and China’s domestic enterprises has always

been the essence of the work of CCSA. A series of PTN standards formulated by the

association were adopted and published by ITU-T, breaking the patent barrier of foreign

companies in video compression and coding.

CCSA also led the formulation of a series of standards in Intelligent ODN and actively

promoted the formulation of its international counterpart.

The association completed the performance specification of LTE Mobile Terminal OTA and

introduced the result to 3GPP.

CCSA pioneered the Testing Method Research on Multi-transmitter Terminal

Electromagnetic Radiation, achieved an industrial standard that is “used to evaluate adult

cerebral model with statistics in near field electromagnetic radiation” with complete

ownership of intellectual property rights.

The association dedicates to foster the formulation international standards based on China’s

domestic standardization and accelerate China’s domestic technical innovation with advanced

international technologies, achieving the transformation from engaging and following to

leading and guiding in international standardization process.

In 2014, members of CCSA had submitted over 7,000 research papers to international

standardization organizations such as ITU, 3GPP, IEEE, IETF, making significant

achievements in promoting the formulation of international standards such as intelligent

pipelines, LTE based broadband cluster communication, cloud computing, LTE-Hi, mobile

network support of Beidou, 5G, IEEE 802.11ax and IEEE 802.11ah.

The Chairman of CCSA Board of Directors Wu Hequan made a wonderful presentation on

“Ushering an Era of Industrialization Internet”, including the direction for future

revolution of manufacturing technologies and development strategies of enterprises.

In 2015, the association will continue to expand its activities in international standardization

process and keep close attention to the latest development of competition and cooperation in

international standardization process, ensuring and optimizing involvement in every technical

aspect of international standardization action strategies. Besides, CCSA will make full use of

the China’s status as a great power in telecommunications and rely on the rising force in the
