User requirements
• Some questions• How do we categorize users of existing
telecommunications services?• What else do these users need in terms of
connectivity?• What new applications might emerge?• Which new applications are likely to be
embraced by users?

Categories of Usersfixed connections
1. everyone needs voice communication
2. all “office” workers will have a high speed network connection at work– they will want similar facilities at home, and
– if they “tele-commute”, it will be essential to provide these facilities, at reasonable cost
– estimate: at most 20% of the population fall into this category
– they will want 100kbit/sec to 1 Mbit/sec at home

Categories of Usersfixed connections
3. some of Category 2 will be itinerant– they will require a remote connection
somehow, at 100kbit/sec to 1 Mbit/sec
4. many users (50%?) will require occasional PC access
– 50-100 kbit/s should be enough for these needs

Categories of Usersmobile connections
1. everyone needs voice communication• will therefore have a mobile phone
2. a small proportion (10%?) need high bandwidth mobile data connectivity• will typically have a laptop• will make do with lower speed connection
if high bandwidth is not available

Categories of Usersmobile connections
3. a large proportion might need occasional mobile data connectivity (not necessarily high-bandwidth)
• occasional emails
• consulting information; shopping
• these users will probably have a PDA

Driving forces behind new mobile data applications
• increased bandwidthfor multimedia applications, for example
• “always on” (ie. connection-less)to allow quick transactions
• timelinesswhen instant response is required
• location-based servicesthe network can find the location of a mobile telephone to within about 50 metres

Mobile multimedia applications
• mobile video telephony– is there a real demand for this?– remember what has happened to fixed line
videophones!

Time-critical mobile applications
• stock quotes
• urgent emailsand less time-critical:
• news
• weather– And even less time-critical:
• timetables
• hotel reservation

Location-based mobile services
• can provide information about services near to the user’s current location:– hotels– restaurants– transport facilities– tourist information– local events

Application Protocols
Several protocols are already in use for simple database queries:
• SMS query
• Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)
• i-mode
![Page 12: Telecommunications for the future - 4 Rob Parker CERN IT Division](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022072015/56649eba5503460f94bc1ee1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
R. Parker - CERN 12
SMS query
• crude, but satisfactory for many simple
applications
– Eg. Timetable look-up
• does not require connection
• fairly fast
• inexpensive

WAP• designed to give Web style access for
mobiles with limitations:– Small screen– Limited graphic capability– Low speed data access
• connection oriented, so slow• the phone limitations will soon be
resolved• has WAP a future? : people want real
Internet access

i-mode
• “Always on”
• inexpensive
• gives a reasonable approximation to real Internet access
• very successful in Japan
• could it give guidelines for a WAP upgrade?
