Objective
To realise the vision of "Optimally connected anywhere, anytime". Early preparatory work has characterized Systems beyond 3G as an horizontal communication model, where different terrestrial access levels and technologies are combined to complement each other in an optimum way for different service requirements and radio environments. They may include the personal level (personal/body area/ad hoc network) the local/home level (W-LAN, UWB) the cellular level (GPRS, UMTS) the wider area level (DxB-T, BWA).
The resulting access landscape is complemented by a satellite overlay network, providing notably a global multicast layer (e.g. S-DMB). Reconfigurability is a key enabler to support such an heterogeneous and generalised wireless access.
