Advisory Committee

The Advisory Committee is consisted of chairman, vice chairman, auditor and representatives from industries, academics and research institutes on next generation mobile communications. It advises overall forum¡¯s activities such as forum¡¯s role and administration, mutual cooperations with international fora, etc.


Steering Committee

The steering committee is composed of chairmen of subcommittees and representatives from industries, academies and research institutes on Next Generation Mobile Communication. The steering committee presents the direction in future mobile communications. It also reviews and approves the results of subcommittees. The steering committee promotes mutual cooperations with such international forums as WWRF, mITF, FuTURE and mobile-VCE.


Subcommittee

There are three subcommittees in the forum; Market & Service Subcommittee, System & Technology Subcommittee and Spectrum Ad-hoc Group. Each subcommittee is a working group and consists of industries, academies and research institutes. Subcommittee executes the researches, harmonization-opinion and mutual cooperations among institutions on Next Generation Mobile Communication. The research results from working groups are submitted to the steering committee and are published.
