Organization DevelopmentOrganization Development The number of members and observers of CCSA has

already been up to 180 up to the end of 2005. Electromagnetic Environment Influence and Safeguard

Technical Committee (TC9) was newly established. 3 New Working Groups were founded:

“Service and Application Working Group” under Network and Switching Technical Committee (TC3).

“SCDMA/WCDMA Working Group” was newly founded under Wireless Communication Technical Committee (TC5).

AH2 was founded under TC5, which involves in IOT Standards.

Up to now, there are nine Technical Committees and thirty two Working Groups in all in CCSA.

National Standards （ GB） - National Standards shall be developed for technical requirements that

need to be unified national wide. - Standards in communication drafted by CCSA, censored by MII,

approved and published by SAC

Communication Industry Standards （ YD ） and Communications Standards Technology Reference File （ YDC）

Enterprise Standards - Drafted and published by respective enterprise.

Communication Technical ReportCommunication Technical Report

““Communication Technical Report”Communication Technical Report” is a kind of standard, which is used to standardize perspective technologies which have market demand, but is not so technically mature, and to provide in time guide for network establishment and equipment development for operators and manufacturing companies.

““Communication Technical Report”Communication Technical Report” is developed , approved and published by CCSA;

Progress of Standards StudyProgress of Standards Study （（ 1/21/2））

In 2005In 2005 633 standards or projects totally are being

developed or to be developed; 101 standards have been already published; CCSA put emphasis on the development of

standards on

- 3G.

- softswiching network

- multimedia services etc.

Progress of Standards Study Progress of Standards Study （（ 2/22/2））

CCSA has started studies on some important and hot new communication technologies such as

home network; IPTV; FTTH; WiMAX; ASON,etc They make the standards research work of CCSA

in front of communication technologies all the time, so as to establish foundation for standards development in the future, and to provide reference or guide for standardization activities.

CCSA CCSA TechnicalTechnical Standards Awards Standards Awards

In order to commend the groups or individuals who have made great contributions to technical innovation, social benefits and economic benefits through standardization in the field of communication, “CCSA Science and Technology Award” was founded with the approval of MII and Ministry and Science and Technology, to encourage the technology developer.

This is the first time for CCSA to carry out such

science and technology awarding activity in the field of communication standards throughout China. Through strictly examining and commenting by experts, 14 projects were awarded, which cover WDM, IP phone, softswiching, network management, DSL, CDMA 1X technical standards etc.

Operation Mechanism Innovation Operation Mechanism Innovation （（ 1/1/22））

In 2005, 2 Ad hoc Groups and 1 Special Task Group were established.

Home Network Ad hoc Group• Technical standards framework on Home

Network has been determined in this Group.• 2 standards have been developed : -- General technical requirements for home network based

telecommunication network -- Technical requirements of equipment for home network

based telecommunication network—Home Gateway 

Operation Mechanism InnovationOperation Mechanism Innovation （（ 2/2/22））

IPTV Special Task GroupCCSA established IPTV Special Task Group under IP and Multimedia Technical Committee to carry out studies on IPTV standards including technical standards framework and the following 6 standards:

--The Service Requirement for IPTV--General Technical Requirements for IPTV Service System-- Technical Requirement of IPTV-STB(Set Top Box)--Interface Specification for STB and IPTV Service Platform--Technical Requirement for IPTV COP&SOP Interface (COP=Content Operation Platform; SOP=Services Operation Platform)--Technical Requirement of DSLAM for IPTV

International ContributionsInternational Contributions

In 2005, more than 1000 experts from CCSA’s members participated in the activities of ITU, 3GPP, 3GPP2, TMF, OMA, IEEE, IETF and other international organizations. Now, we have 26 experts taking positions in these organizations. 361 contributions discussed in CCSA were submitted to ITU;1201 submitted to 3GPP;154 submitted to 3GPP2;After several years’ effort, the number and the technical depth and quality of the contributions increase year by year. Moreover, the acceptance rate also increased continuously.

Internal and External RelationshipInternal and External Relationship

CCSA attach importance to the exchange and cooperation with both domestic and foreign standards organizations. Last August, CCSA joined GSC as a tenth partner. The Chairman of the Council, Mr.Gaofeng Zhu met information and

communication ministers from ASEAN during the “China-ASEAN Telecom Week”.

Last December, delegation of CCSA visited ANSI 、 NIST 、 ITA 、 IEEE 、 TIA 、 ATIS, and also Nortel, Lucent, Motorola, UT Starcom,Cisco, CINGULAR etc., which promoted mutual understanding and communication.

The exchange and cooperation among CJK SDOs have made further progress.

CCSA has hosted or supported several meetings of ITU-T FGNGN, 3GPP and 3GPP2 in China, which contributed to international standards activities.

In order to promote the exchange and cooperation between the Mainland and Taiwan, CCSA has hosted “Mainland-Taiwan Information Technology and Standards Forum” in July last year.

Publications Publications

“Communication Technology and Standards” was semimonthly published;

“Information Briefing” was monthly published, which promptly reported the updated activities of CCSA and its Committees,.

Furthermore, several Study Reports were issued in 2005, such as “Study on RFID Technology”, “Study on Telecommunication Service Standardization”, “General Study on Home Network” and so on.

“Standards List 2005”, “Brief Introduction to Standards 2005”

Annual Report 2005 were published.

Work Plan for 2006Work Plan for 2006

To further develop and consummate 3G series standards;

To carry out studies on NGN standards, especially on new services and mergence of services and networks;

To develop standards on mobile TV and IPTV; Emergence communication; To put emphasis on the study and development

of information barrier-free standards to meet the weak and disabled persons’ requirements.

Guideline and Principle for Standards Guideline and Principle for Standards DevelopmentDevelopment

According to the need of the industry development and the market trend, CCSA carries out standardization activities based on the proposals of its members.

CCSA would change the standards development method from simply adopting international standards to develop China’s own standards according to the actual situation of China.

CCSA would continue to extensively establish friendly cooperation with other standards organizations to make joint contributions to the world standardization industry.
