This Handbook identifies International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) and provides the general information

such as service requirements, application trends, system characteristics, and substantive information on

spectrum, regulatory issues, guideline for the evolution and migration, and core network evolution on IMT.

Provides general guidance to ITU Members, network operators and other relevant parties on issues related to

the deployment of IMT systems to facilitate decisions on selection of options and strategies for introduction of

their IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced networks

A collaborative effort involving groups in the three ITU Sectors with WP 5D assuming the lead and coordinating

role and responsible for developing text for the terrestrial aspects

Special attention has been given to the needs of developing countries responding to the first part of Question

ITU-R 77/5

This Handbook also includes summary of deliverables and on-going activities of WP 5D in order to provide an

update for countries which are not able to attend WP 5D meetings.

IMT-2000, third generation mobile systems started service around the year 2000, and provides access by

means of one or more radio links to a wide range of telecommunication services including advanced mobile

services, supported by fixed networks (e.g. PSTN/Internet), which are increasingly packet-based, and other

services specific to mobile

International Mobile Telecommunications – Advanced (IMT-Advanced) is a mobile system that includes the new

capabilities of IMT that go beyond those of IMT-2000.

IMT-Advanced systems provide enhanced peak data rates to support advanced services and applications

(100 Mbit/s for high and 1 Gbit/s for low mobility were established as targets for research)

Objectives on IMT are summarized from the view point of multiple perspectives:

− End User, Content provider, Service provider, Network operator, Manufacturer/ Application Developer

Techniques to facilitate roaming

Conclusion and Recommendations

14

IMT is becoming the primary medium for the delivery of Broadband in developing countries

− by 2016, over 80% of broadband is expected to be mobile

Recommend the assignment of contiguous, broader and harmonized frequency bands which are aligned with

future technology development

In order to meet capacity and service demands and provide better user experience, integration of multiple radio

access technologies e.g. 2G/3G/4G would help seamlessly integrate the new spectrum bands, existing licensed

bands, and unlicensed bands

Recommend to provide adequate backhaul capacity with sufficient end-to end performance to meet the desired

user quality of experience (QoE) everywhere for the provision of mobile broadband

Technology neutral approach in developing policies and regulations for the wireless communications sector is

necessary to support the continued and robust growth of mobile broadband

In order to ensure that regulatory and policy decisions are made in the best interest of all, an open and public

decision-making process should be used
