  1. Wireless Telecomms in China & Korea Research, Universities & Industry Prof Joe McGeehan Managing Director Telecommunications Research Laboratories Toshiba Research Europe Ltd

  2. M&d r&D R&D R+ Perspectives on R&D Volume measure Measure of fundamental research activity

  3. Company Approaches to R&D • Category A – Alert • Category AA – Alert & Aware • Category AAA – Alert, Aware & Active

  4. Industry-Academic Collaboration Korea • Clear evidence that enlightened companies (AAA) are looking to develop their product range through co-operation with leading research universities • Insufficient time to discuss funding models China • Again, clear evidence of strong collaboration

  5. Collaboration: Examples • Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen • Fingu and Wuhan University • Jushri, Shanghai

  6. Comparisons with the UK (1) • In both China and Korea, industrial organisations largely undertake applied research and advanced development (r&D) • Research institutes, such as ETRI (Korea) and SHWCRC (China) conduct more long-term research and advanced development (R&D)

  7. Comparisons with the UK (2) • Leading research-based universities in both countries conduct blue-skies research (R++) • UK is seen as being exceedingly successful in the management of R&D laboratories

  8. Research Activities • Majority of (industry) research shown was focused upon clearly-defined medium-term markets, notably WiMAX and 3G LTE • This is reflected in standards contributions, product development and IPR generation

  9. Research Activities Areas of Research - Three Common Themes Service-related Network-related Wireless-related Research topics & projects seen by the mission team were not significantly different from research ongoing in the UK Research quality appeared comparable

  10. 4G - What is it ? Broadly speaking, Europe and the US are adopting an evolutionary approach, whereas... Asian perspective • Wide area, 100Mbps air interface • Shorter range 1Gbps nomadic air interface • Analogous to the step transition between 2G and 3G

  11. 4G – Technology, Testbeds & Commercialisation Korea & China are both very active in 4G research, a position reflected in… • patents generated • input to standards bodies, and • the establishment of 4G experimental testbeds in both countries over the past year • Samsung (Korea), FuTURE (China) Unfortunately there was not the opportunity to visit the 4G testbed facilities • It is nonetheless important to report on these developments - some detail is included in mission report

  12. Training the next generation of Engineers - China Total in undergrad education: 15,617,800 2005 enrolment • 5,044,600 students • Increase of 12.8% over 2004 Higher education entry rate 21% Avg student population per institute: 7666 Teaching staff/student ratio 1:17 Year 2005 statistics for Chinese Higher Education Source: China Education and Research Network http://www.edu.cn/jiao_yu_fa_zhan_498/20060706/t20060706_187144.shtml

  13. Training the next generation of Engineers - China Total in postgraduate education: 978,600 • Doctoral students 191,300 • Masters students 787,300 2005 enrolment • 364,800 students • Increase of 11% over 2004 • Doctoral students 54,800 • Masters students 310,000 Year 2005 statistics for Chinese Higher Education Source: China Education and Research Network http://www.edu.cn/jiao_yu_fa_zhan_498/20060706/t20060706_187144.shtml

  14. Other Observations Company Staffing • China and Korea are both seeing the increasing return of established technical staff with extensive industrial and academic experience from both the US and Europe • Engineers are promoted young to middle management levels, particularly in China, where a large number of key executives are in their early-mid thirties • Another striking feature in China, (unlike Korea, Japan and Europe), was that a large number of senior executives met during the mission were female • Both countries have realised the importance of design, rather than just technology, and have been looking to the UK for such expertise
