Radio Frequency Spectrum

In this paper we examine the emerging industry of Cognitive Radio/Software Defined Radio (CR/SDR), a sector which in some ways seconds the industry structure of the cellular mobile communications, while bearing distinctive characteristics. Any radio telecommunications infrastructure depends on scarce resources – radio frequency spectrum – that require policy decisions for allocation to specific countries and services. CR/SDR may constitute a new paradigm in radio communications as it may completely or partially eliminate the role of the regulator in minutiae of spectrum access authorization. In this paper, we review scarce literature on CR/SDR to analyze the relationships between political, technological and economic factors in order to identify drivers and barriers to the emergence of new techno-economic paradigm of CR/SDR. Our discussion of business opportunities for CR/SDR includes analysis of applicable spectrum access policies and identification of those of them, which would be most fertile for the development of future CR/SDR business.

This article studies the emergence of the mobile Internet business from six strategic perspectives, highlighting the ongoing transformations of the mobile industry. The article suggests that companies of the mobile industry can reconstruct their business models with six different kinds of choices: 1. Positioning differently in the value network, involving both vertical and horizontal movements. 2. Acquiring and developing critical assets and competencies to build sustaining and dynamic competitive strategies. 3. Inventing new mobile business models by utilizing the lessons from the Internet. 4. Integrating end-users in making and redefining services, optimizing pricing logic, introducing new business models with end-user originated content creation in mind, and making services easy to adopt by end-users. 5. Leveraging and focusing on disruptive, winning technologies that are changing the rules of the business. 6. Adapting to relevant policy schemes, and proactively planning and reconsidering business decisions under a dynamic regulatory environment.

The work considers the concept of the ecosystem from the point of view of business processes and aggregation of digital resources. It defines the ecosystem characteristics which distinguish it from other models of management, indicating its advantages over them. The specifics of the Russian digital market is noted, the features of the approaches of the main players to forming the ecosystems and ways of cooperating with the consumer are analyzed. A concept of the ecosystem competition is indicated. The authors propose the forecast for the development of the ecosystems of the Russian market in the foreseeable future indicating possible prospects. The study is based as on the foreign statistics, studies of international institutions and the data of Russian business aggregators, annual reports of chapters of companies, their positions stated in official press releases. The ecosystem is considered both from the point of view of a business and a person. There is also a consideration of innovations in interfacing the Internet of Things (IoT), financial-technical and mobile communications. For the first time, the article introduces the concept of “consumer capital”, as well as the management and social risks in the acceleration of such business models.

Mobile packet services are penetrating mobile markets rapidly. The mobile industry relies heavily on data services to replace traditional voice services. Designing a reliable packet service network is critical to the mobile operators’ ability to maintain their core competence in a data service market. The current literature provides many practical tools and theoretical methods to design, plan and dimension Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) radio networks but overlooks the algorithms of network plan and dimensioning for the core networks. This paper introduces the algorithms to dimension the throughput for packet switched domain of a UMTS network. The analysis is based on the traffic and data throughput generated and absorbed in the interfaces of network entities in UMTS PS network. A case study is provided to verify the algorithms created for UMTS PS network. This paper provides UMTS PS network operators an optimum network size and network structure to deliver an optimum quality of service for users.

This chapter aims at providing a comprehensive overview of the mobile landscape. It bridges the global trends affecting the mobile industry as a whole, with the creation and distribution of contents, emphasizing the new patterns of production and distribution. It shed light on the drivers of the changes taking place. The first part of this chapter identifies and sums up the main trends in a global landscape, namely the role of mobile communications (devices, networks) combined with the rise of the “app economy”, the spread of “Big Data”, and the move toward a multiscreen / cross-media paradigm. It provides a synthesis of available data. The first section tracks the evolution of the global market and the emerging geography with the rise of Asia as a leading player in the mobile world. The second section analyses the smartphone phenomenon. The third section deals with the rise of the “app economy”. The fourth section reviews the new modes of data driven management, stemming from “Big Data”. The fifth section follows the move a multi-screen world. The second part investigates some of the impacts of this fast evolving environment on the production of an array of mobile contents (portable movies, video, video games…) tracking the way content industries, while standing at the nexus of technology and content, are rapidly changing. The section documents the way mobile industry is indeed an innovation platform for new services. The section delineates the growing role of the consumer in a mobile world, its various modes of involvement in the production and distribution of digital content. We conclude with some elements about the new challenges brought by these trends, by the entry of new players in both the content and the mobile field.
