– Abstract : This talk will introduce the history of 3G and 4G technologies with a focus on history of 3GPP and the outlook of the future of mobile broadband.

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is a collaboration between groups of telecommunications associations for standardization of 3G and 4G cellular technologies. From Release 99, where the basic of WCDMA was defined, to recent development of Rel-12 for LTE-Advanced, 3GPP has lead technical advancement to realize mobile broadband systems.

The talk will include interesting stories of the first hand experience of the presenter, who has been an active contributor in various working groups of 3GPP. The presenter also will share his experience about joining an international firm as a research engineer from Korea.

– Speaker : Osok Song received a B.S. and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea. He joined Samsung Electronics in 2003 and has been involved in 3GPP standardization. He was serving as the vice chairman of the 3GPP SA2, the working group responsible for 3GPP network architecture. Since April 2007, He has joined Qualcomm Incorporated, and worked on various aspects of next generation mobile communication with LTE and LTE-Advanced, including; System Architecture Evolution (SAE), 3GPP-WLAN interworking (I-WLAN), E-UTRAN, Femto cell, Self Organizing Network (SON), enhanced Inter-cell interference coordination (eICIC), and LTE-Direct communication etc. He has been an active participant to various working groups in the 3GPP, including SA2, CT1, RAN3 and RAN2, contributing radio network architecture and protocols for LTE and LTE advnaced.  He is currently at the Strategic IP team at Qualcomm. He is (co)-inventor of 90+ patents filed to the US.
