Current Status of Mobile Sector in India
• India’ population is more rural areas (almost two-third) with tele-density
of 13%.
• With saturation of urban markets, rural India poses a huge opportunity
to telecom operators.
• India currently has around 3 lakh towers, and the number is expected to
increase to 4.5 lakh towers with 900,000 tenants in the next three years.
•
The big challenges for rural telecom network are to maintain network
uptime due to frequent power cuts, power problems and equipments
maintenance. Immediate solution is running the base stations with
diesel power adding high cost to the operations. Given the frequent
power cuts, each tenant consumes almost 3,000 liters of diesel every
year on a shared tower.

Some Indian Market Specifics and
Standardisation Effort Challenges (1)
• Micro-payment (ek rupia barah ana): Can the mobile
communications network make payment happen without
all the hassle of people running around?
• User as a service provider (aur paisa): Can anyone
become a service provider over the mobile network?
How can this be done? Are there any ICT related issues
that should be taken care of?

Some Indian Market Specifics and
Standardisation Effort Challenges (2)
• Grades of service (achcha mahnga): How to differentiate
quality while considering coverage and capacity – on
existing networks?
• P2P over mobile networks (muft ka): How is it being
done? Will there be any need of modification in existing
networks?
• M2M in Indian context (bin admi ka): Smart grid but then
can it take care of fraudulent usage? Can it also cover
healthcare?

Some Indian Market Specifics and
Standardisation Effort Challenges (3)
• Unsolicited communication (ye bhi le lo): What
can we do to take care of unsolicited
communication? Regulators? Operator? Users?
Service providers?
• Cloud and the network (badal tak): Cloud is now
coming everywhere – is there any work needed
on this for the mobile networks?
• IT over mobile network (hath mein kam): How can
IT services be provided by mobile operators /
over the mobile networks?

GISFI Standardisation Topics Relevant to
the Indian Scenario
•Spectrum
•Future Radio Access Technologies
•Internet of Things
•Service Oriented Networks
•Green ICT
•Special Interest Group: Security and Quality of
Service

Spectrum
• Spectral Crisis
– Not sufficient to serve 1.2 Billion Population
– Machine to machine (M2M) yet not huge
• Goasl of GISFI Spectrum Effort:
– Lower Frequency Range Spectrum
– Higher Frequency Range Spectrum
– Capacity Limited Scenarios
• Multi-GHz Carrier Frequencies
• Multiple Hops at High Carrier Frequencies
1
GISFI Standardisation Topic: Spectrum
• To decide or select the spectrum related topics/ areas for
standardization;
• To initiate work on those areas in the order of their
perceived priorities.
• Basic issues pertaining to spectrum and in consideration of
the Indian scenario- spectral crisis and how to provide
services to 1.2 billion population?
– Inputs from all stake holders;
– Inputs from other Groups in GISFI
1
Other GISFI Spectrum Focus:
• Spectrum refarming:
• To identify spectrum needs & suitable frequency bands for mobile
services’ growth:
– Immediate needs (upto5 years’ time frame) upto4 GHz band;
– Foreseen mid term needs (5 –10 years) up to 6 GHz band in line with
technological development;
– Futuristic spectrum needs (beyond 10 years) taking into account
technologies on the horizon;
• Frequency of spectrum refarming exercises;
• Time frame allowed for existing users to shift?
• Compensation, if any –in cash or kind?
• Ensuring continued optimum use of spectrum
• Encouraging/ incentivising use of higher, unused/ virgin frequency bands;
• Appropriate tools including differential spectrum pricing to encourage
refarming:
1
GISFI Standardisation Topic:
Future Radio Access Technologies
• Indian Specifics: majority of population in rural
areas with teledensity of 13%
• Energy Efficiency
• Advanced Schedulers and Measurement
Schemes
• Advanced Channel Models
• Need for improving the Spectrum Efficiency
• Use of femtocells?
1
GISFI Standardisation Topic: Internet of
Things
Protection of sensitive
and private user data
• Fully global, energy-efficient
in a ubiquitous
communication standards
environment
Interoperability
• Open standards and specifications of at
radio access level, and of protocolsand
semantics, and middleware
Communication
• Use of compatible or identical protocols
at different frequencies
GISFI Standardisation Topic: IoT-Goals
• Identifying the technology gaps in IoT standardization and
possible areas of contribution.
• Collection of requirements from Indian perspective of IoT
• Collection of requirements on handling intra-and interdomain interoperability, security, privacy and trust
management issues.
• Preparation of the initial proposals on IoT standardization
on protocol and semantic interoperability, security, privacy
and trust management issues.
GISFI Standardisation Topic: Service
Oriented Networks
• SeON Drivers
– User experience matters: Content and collaboration service
components enrich user experience on the top of communications
and sessions services
– Service deployment and operation is critical to establish new
business models
– Interoperable service enablers bring strong deployment and
operation properties in order to guarantee QoE across domains
– IMS brings interoperable roaming, authenticated multimedia calls,
subscriber, network and device authentication
– SOA principles to ensure strong S/W principles lead to maximized
quality/cost
1
GISFI Standardisation Topic: Service
Oriented Networks
• Development of a high level framework for SeON
that will address:
– How can the service providers implement the
concept of SoA, Web 2.0 and IMS into their
services
– Consistency with the unique Indian regulatory,
business and infrastructure
– Urban and Rural India requirements
1
Standardisation Topic: Green ICT
• Energy requirements by telecom sector in India and
concerns:
– Energy related expenditure accounts for nearly 70% of
total operating cost per cell site in the rural areas.
– The power requirement of a BTS currently varies from
1300 – 2500 watts.
– A large percentage of these deployments are still indoor
type needing air conditioning.
– Current SLAs (with operators) need shelter temperature
to be maintained between 22 – 25 Degree Celsius range.
– Powering systems are largely dependent on grid supply
as primary source with diesel generators as stand by
sources and storage batteries as secondary sources.
1
Standardisation Topic: Green ICT
• India’s high economic growth will lead to an increase in
emission of environmentally harmful green house gases
that contribute to global warming ,
– adopting methods to replace greener or more efficient
technologies can help it tap new opportunities as well
as get other benefits.

Green ICT: Energy Efficiency
Standardisation Requirements
• Energy efficiency is about maximizing total traffic while
minimizing total power consumption
• GISFI is looking at specifying standards that allows a fair
playing field driving the development of energy efficient
networks

SIG: Security
• The task of this Standardisation Topic group is to:
– Study security and privacy including legal intercept
requirements regarding ICT for India
– Develop recommendations; this can also include
recommendation on cryptographic algorithms to be
used.
– Perform threat analysis on systems under consideration
and technologies being developed by GISFI
– Develop security and privacy solutions in collaboration
with other committees
– Develop legal intercept solutions
– Bring Indian requirements on security and privacy
including legal intercept to international standardization
bodies
Need for the GISFI SIG Security Group
• Security depends on system, business and environment
of usage
– Thus security and privacy work is needed for all
activities being done by GISFI
• India related security, privacy and legal intercept
requirements must be identified and solutions developed
– Where necessary, these requirements must be
brought to other standardisation bodies
SIG: QoS
• The task of this Standardisation Topic group is to:
– Define several use case scenarios for
communication in rural India and Focus QoS
metrics for a specific set of applications
– Survey available techniques and framework
being discussed in different SDOs
– Map the appropriate techniques and protocols
to the Indian case scenarios
– Draft Best Current Practices for QoS
Requirement for Rural India
Expected Output of GISFI Standardisation
Work
