Standardization

We support front-end standardization activities for various Samsung R&D divisions. Our areas of focus include home networking, wireless and media standards such as IEEE and DRM technologies.

Our standardization takes input, feedback and planning from a multitude of product groups and combines those with technologies to promote and create standards. These resulting standards enable Samsung's future development to create new usages and experiences for the user with devices and services, both in the home and mobile ecosystems.

We hold leading roles in several standards organizations, including:

• Chair of the UPNP Steering Committee
• DLNA Board of Directors
• Coral Consortium Board of Directors,
• Marlin Developer Community Board of Directors
• Chair of IEEE 802.11r
• WiMedia Alliance Board of Directors
• VESA - Video Electronics Standards Association

In addition, we contribute to several standardization technologies, including home networking and ecosystems, remote UIs and home standards and access/content protection. In these roles, we contribute to standardization efforts by conducting industry and market research and playing a major role in maintaining Samsung's leadership in technology standardization.

We are leading the development of baseband and medium access control of next generation WPANs and WLANs and the drive to improve wireless user experience in social networking, entertainment, home networking, green networking, healthcare and education. We developed cutting-edge wireless techniques, including MIMO OFDM and beam forming in ISM and millimeter-wave bands to provide ubiquitous connectivity with data rates up to several Gbps. We have successfully incorporated our technologies into various standards, including IEEE 802, Wi-Fi Alliance, ECMA and industry consortia such as WirelessHD and WiGig.

We developed efficient MAC and networking techniques with cross-layer design features to address multiple devices with different channel conditions and demanding QoS requirements for video streaming that can compromise a network. Our tiered research further includes A/V processing and control, wireless security, and content protection. Future research directions include ultra-definition 3D wireless networking, home networking, medical body area networks, wireless energy harvesting, white space networking, smart-grid and price-cognizant adaptive radio.

We continue to innovate by collaborating with universities and other organizations in the standardization domain.
