Present Situation of the Standardization of the 3G Mobile Communication In China, the standardization of the 3G communication has always been a key project for CWTS, the research group for standardization in wireless communication. It is very active in ITU's activities and joined the 3GPP and 3GPP2 in May 1999 for many activities in the field of standardization. It promotes the standardization in 3GPP and 3GP2, of the TD-SCDMA and LAS-CDMA technology proposed by China. Simultaneously, it works actively to standardize the major technology that is possibly adopted in China. Presently, the standardization of TD-SCDMA is busily carried out in 3GPP , and it is expected to finish by the end of this year or early next year. As one of the technologies to be selected in 3GPP2 1XEV-DV, LAS-CDMA is now under appraisal and discussion . On the other hand, research on the standardization of WCDMA TD-SCDMA, cdma2000-1X core network and radio access network is already started . CWTS will conduct the standardization according to China's special situation in its development, and it decided not to do the standardization to IS-95B, GSM EDGE and cdma2000-3X, etc." ---------- Note - TD-SCDMA is in the process of being harmonized (read made compatible) in 3GPP (the "integration of two CDMA TDD"). LAS-CDMA (or more accurately portions of its technology) will in all probability be converged (read melded or integrated) into 1xevdv specifications in progress in 3GPP2. ---------- "5. To Develop 2G Mobile Data Service and Nourish the Market of 3G In terms of service development, the evolution and connection from the 2G to the 3G is smooth. The 3G can offer higher quality service just because it has a more powerful transmission capacity. Therefore, there is no need to deliberately search for the so-called 3G "Killer Application" . The first thing is to develop and nourish mobile communication service and its application based on the network of 2G. The 3G mobile communication service should be naturally achieved."
