However, because the limitation scarcity radio spectrum, more strategic radio administration will be required. In view these circumstances, Radio Policy Vision (July 2003, Telecommunications Council) Guidelines Spectrum Reallocation (Oct. 2003, Ministry Internal Affairs Communications (MIC)) were mulated. In order to meet future needs in radio utilization, bwidths at least 1.5 GHz in the useful frequency b 6 GHz or less require reallocation. For this reason, MIC institutionalized radio utilization surveys created compensation system radio spectrum reming. Moreover, a proposal revision the Radio Law is now under discussion in the Diet to amend a radio spectrum user fee reflecting economic value to conduct research development aimed at exping radio resources. Under these circumstances, it is important to implement the wireless broadb that is crucial to a ubiquitous era.

These systems are expected to have little difference in the future; theree, it is necessary to take this movement into account in considering the future system. Seamless approaches to enhance connectivity between various radio communications systems have already been partially implemented using flexible core networks such as IP. All radio communications systems are expected to have a high affinity with these packet-based communications networks. There are various stards wireless access: IEEE802.11n high-speed wireless LAN; the 802.16 series wireless MAN, which has mobility substitutability DSL; BWA broadb access in the last mile. It is important, however, to stardize the wireless system as a whole based on the connection to IP core networks.

As various intelligent home appliances have become prevalent in people s lives, there are multiple de facto stards. In view international conmity, the future the stardization next-generation intelligent home appliance networks utilizing radio waves are under review. As broadb promotion, because a regional divide still exists, Fixed Wireless Access systems wireless LANs, which can be provided in a shorter time less expensively than FTTH or CATV internet services, are expected to be used depending on the circumstances. In vehicle digitization, a more safer securer traffic environment is under development through the introduction new systems. One example is inter-vehicle communications collision avoidance in relatively high-risk situations such as at railroad crossings the ends traffic jams.
