Analysis of the fora purpose of activity

Implementation/interoperability:67

de facto standard:68

Pre-standard:46

Others:46

De facto standard: a convention, product, or system that has achieved a dominant position by public acceptance or market forces

Pre-standardization: To produce standards which are likely to be contributed to the standard development organization

Implementation & interoperability: specifications for implementation and ensuring interoperability

Others: the fora which aims at future vision, market researching, consulting or enlightenment.

Statistics of the active purpose of the fora

Discussion on some standardization method

Facts:In 2008, the de-facto and interoperability (also related to “fact” ) account for nearly 60% of the fora activities.

Those standards were discussed and produced inside the fora, lack of the related industry-level information from the Standardization Organization

Topic: research of HN standardization

Home network is a network with multiple devices connected by wired or wireless technology in a limited area (e.g., inside a home or office), and this network is built to meet the customer requirements and provide services and applications to customers.

Industry Understanding of home network Application maturityIT/consumer electronics

Breaking “information islands”, connecting among

the information devices, communication

equipments and consumer electronics devices to

implement resource sharing and collaborative

working

Not mature yet, mainly test in laboratoryLess commercial implementation

Communication connecting with telecommunication network, or

even be part of E2E telecommunication network,

extending the functions and applications of public

network to home by residential gateway.

Mature industry chain, services and applications have been accepted by consumersApplications include sharing broadband connection among multiple PCs, trip-play services, parent control, etc.

Residentialcommunity/Property

management

The concept of intelligent community and

intelligent home, may provide such services as

remote automatic metering, community and home

security, community medical service, etc.

Mature technology and many products availableHave been deployed in many areas
