During 2007, a total of 58 project groups under 4 TTA Technical Committees (Common Infrastructure, Telecommunication, Radio & Broadcasting, IT Application) were in operation and a total of 4,000 members participated in its standardization activities.

TTA Technical Committee established 672 standards and revised 214 standards during over 300 meetings held in 2007. In particular, reflecting the current slim phone trend, 'Standard on Integrated I/O Connection Interface for Mobile Phone' (established Nov. '07) is expected to provide convenience to users as the new standard integrated the audio and battery charge plug into a single 20 pin plug. Continual effort has been made by the committee to establish new standards according to the needs and demand by the market, and out dated standards were also abolish to prevent any confusion that may arise by referencing old standard. Moreover, the committee also succeeded in reflecting NGN, WiBro, DMB standards as ITU international standard, which paved a way for Korea to lead international standard. 

In December 2007 TTA Technical Committee reorganized its structure with a purpose to broaden its scope of activity and to effectively adapt to the changing environment. This reorganization also was followed up by revision of Operation Regulation to enforce openness and effectiveness of the operation. As such, standardization activity in new areas such as IMT-Advanced, u-Health, Cyber Security, SOA, VHO as well as other important areas carried over from 2007 such as Biometrics, IPTV, IMT WiBro, DMB, RFID will be the focus of committee's activity for 2008. Especially, many Joint Working Group activity for inter-industry convergence technology standardization is expected.

In addition, TTA Technical committees will increase their effort to coordinate with Standardization Forums, International Standardization Experts, and other regional and national standardization organization to promote domestic standards and technology as the international standard in 2008.

<2008 Action Plan>

- Home Network: Update existing standards or develop standards that reflect the current needs of the users in the areas such as multimedia streaming service, bi-directional data service, improved home remote control service for service environment, as well as architectural environment standard, improved home network security standard for mixed wired & wireless home servers.

- IPTV: Gather opinions from IPTV manufacturers and service providers to establish standards for IPTV requirement specification within the first half of this year to have IPTV service under way as well as develop standard for IPTV structure, receiver, security, middleware, and content.

- RFID/USN: Develop domestic standards for various RFID application related ARP and guidelines, information security, newly requested mobile RFID details, new mobile connection standards following technical specification revision, and interference prevention in clustered reader environment as well as develop new standards for sensored network common interface, middleware platform and USN.

- Telematics/ITS: Develop domestic standards for Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication, automobile communication protocol including wide area wireless communication specification for Telematics/ITS, terminologies for automobile diagnosis data, and in-vehicle network interface.

- WBAN: Respond to IEEE802.15 TG(Task Group)-BAN by developing domestic standards of PHY, MAC, Network, Application interface and application profile for QoS(Quality of Service) guarantee for WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network), special characteristics of diverse channels, and medical/non-medical application service.

- Intelligent Service Robot: Develop standards for core technology and mutual operability focusing on testing & certification specification. In particular, develop standards for compatibility for robot S/W platform, interoperability with other telecommunication and information device, and interconnectivity with other network such as RUPI(Robot Unified Platform Initiative and Robot Unified SW Platform) 2.0.

- Information Security: Expanded to enhance development of related standards focusing on information security, personal information security/ID management, cyber security, application security/assessment authentication, biometrics, and DRM.

- S/W: Created new technical committee to specialize and converge technical aspects of software by grouping related project groups under a single committee. Core areas of standardization will focus on imbedded S/W, Open S/W, S/W component, S/W quality evaluation, Web, and MetaData to secure interoperability among softwares and software evaluation. 

- Next generation Web: Expand standardization area for mobile web service development tool and application softwares by developing standards for web accessibility, XML application, and cross browsing.

- IMT-Advanced: Continuous IMT-Advanced standardization effort to reflect domestic technology and secure IPR initiative in 3GPP, 3GPP2, IEEE international standardization and CJK B3G activities by creating IMT(4G) Technical Committee(TC7).

- WiBro Evolution: Standardization of WiBro evolution technology, Femto cell and UMTS through IMT WiBro Project Group(PG702) for heterogeneous network interlink and international standardization of IMT-Advanced through cooperation with IEEE802.16.

- CR(Cognitive Raidio): Develop standards for technical requirements and core technologies of Cognitive Radio to provide various multimedia services in the ubiquitous environment and put efforts to lead international standardization of domestic CR technologies and standards by actively participating in IEEE802.22 WRAN WG and ITU-R meetings.

- DMB: Concentrate on securing interface compatibility and broadcasting & telecommunication convergence service. Utilizing the DMB broadcasting network that began in latter part of 2007, continuous effort will be made to provide data push service to users with XML data and terrestrial DMB program as well as standardize content information for providing customized DMB contents for user device.
