The general structure of the proposed model involves two "planes": the Value Plane and the Capability Plane. The characteristics of these planes are discussed in detail and an example application of the model to a specific scenario for the wireless world is provided. 5.3.2 Functions Value plane mapping: Towards the value plane this capability is used for services towards the values of Security and Human Capability Augmentation. System reference model mapping: This area hooks into the Service semantic as well as the generic services elements/ service platform within the WG2 reference model. 5.3.3 Dependencies Again we face the conflict between privacy and openness. Links can be found to areas such as ubiquitous information access, personalisation and presence awareness. 5.3.4 Constraints No unique constraints identified.

The near future promises significant advances in communication capabilities, but one of the keys to success will be understanding what capabilities people will find valuable, and how to make those capabilities simply usable. In considering the role of the user in the wireless world of the future, Working Group 1 of the WWRF has gathered input and developed positions in four important areas: methods, processes and best practices for user-centered research and design; reference frameworks for modeling user needs within the context of wireless systems; user scenario creation and analysis; and user interaction technologies. This article provides an overview of WG1’s work in these areas that are critical to ensuring that the future wireless world meets and exceeds the expectations of people in the coming decades.

The next two decades promises us almost unimaginable communication capabilities; the technology can deliver almost anything we want it to, but the key to success is understanding what capabilities people will find valuable, and how to simply access those capabilities. The WWRF is putting the user at the centre of its visions by identifying research, which uncovers the functionality that people will value in the future. These research topics fall into three areas; understanding the user, by studying human behaviour and needs, the development of next generation technologies becomes user requirements driven rather than technology lead; new generic application elements, in which technologies closely associated with the understanding of the user, such as virtual reality, are identified for research; and new interaction techniques, which allow for intuitive interaction between humans and the terminals and underlying network services. Studying the user, especially in these research areas, is the only way to ensure that the future wireless world meets and exceeds the expectations of people in the coming decades. q

Its impact on computer and other communication needs, and thus spectrum requirements is investigated. The improvements in information compression and channel efficiency due to semiconductor technology is explored as a means of offsetting spectrum demand. System architecture trends and associated spectrum management policies which will be responsive to these developments will also be discussed.

Closed-form expressions are given. It is shown that the performance of one version of R-ALOHA is mathematically equivalent to that of carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) under special circumstances
