 Seizo Onoe, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, NTT DOCOMO
Overview
NTT DOCOMO is the source of much innovative technology in the mobile industry, and with 2020 in view, it has already set in motion the research and development of 5G, the fifth-generation mobile communications system. We asked Seizo Onoe, NTT DOCOMO Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, how the company is surviving the highly competitive environment and what it aims to achieve by making maximum use of the company’s strengths.
Front-line Researchers-
William John Munro, Senior Research Scientist, NTT Basic Research Laboratories
Overview
In this issue, we welcome Dr. William J. Munro, the first non-Japanese group leader within NTT laboratories, as our front-line researcher. Bill passionately tells us about quantum physics, which has the potential to bring great change to the world, and its application to the field of information and communications. He also tells us why out of all the research institutes in the world, he decided to join NTT laboratories, and how he approaches research to produce innovative results.
Feature Articles: New Generation Network Platform and Attractive Network Services-
 Development towards Building a New Generation Network Platform and Attractive Network Services
Abstract
At NTT Network Innovation Laboratories, we are working on developing the network and application technologies for a new generation network and new generation applications. In this article, we briefly describe some of our development activities including software-defined networking and network functions virtualization, a remote collaboration platform, and a distributed data analysis scheme.

SDN Software Switch Lagopus and NFV Service Orchestrator vConductor for Developing SDN/NFV
Abstract
In anticipation of the wide deployment of software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV), we at NTT Network Innovation Laboratories have been carrying out research and development (R&D) of SDN and related network virtualization. This article presents two of the R&D topics in this field, the software switch Lagopus that corresponds to OpenFlow 1.3, and the NFV service orchestrator vConductor, which is based on global standard techniques.

REMOCOP: Remote Collaboration Platform for a Next Generation Remote Collaboration Support System
Abstract
There is increasing demand for work environments that enable collaborative work by people at remote sites. However, existing systems such as video conferencing systems and interactive whiteboards are designed for video and teleconferences, and they do not satisfy requirements for capabilities that include wide-ranging actual workflows that use specific devices and applications for work. We propose the Remote Collaboration Open Platform (REMOCOP), an application platform for a real-time remote collaboration environment. REMOCOP provides functions for transmitting and presenting work support information via audio/video communication.

Smart CPE R&D for Highly Intelligent Enterprise Networks
Abstract
Enterprise users’ information and communication technology (ICT) demands vary widely from industry to industry and also depend on business conditions and company size. In this article, we present the status of our research and development of an enterprise business solution called Highly Intelligent Customer Premises Equipment, or Smart CPE, which can offer smart traffic control and advanced network management functions for existing wide area network services such as broadband Ethernet and virtual private network services. This solution makes it possible to construct optimal customer ICT environments and to meet individual needs.

Distributed Time Series Data Management and Analysis
Abstract
At NTT Network Innovation Laboratories, we are studying sophisticated network management schemes based on network data analysis. In this article, we focus on a distributed data analysis scheme for large amounts of network data. With this scheme, the amount of network data transported among datacenters for analysis can be reduced, which will also reduce costs.

Development of Highly Efficient Group Modem Module and Turbo Codec Module for Next Generation Satellite Communication Systems
Abstract
NTT Access Network Service Systems Laboratories has been developing the key components for a new satellite communication system named Highly Efficient Satellite Communication System (HESCS), which will supersede the existing satellite communication systems in the near future.
The key modules we developed in order to achieve HESCS are a highly efficient group modem module (HEGMM) and a highly efficient turbo codec module (HETCM) that can respectively modulate/demodulate and encode/decode a maximum of 64 channel signals. This article introduces the concept of HESCS and the details of the HEGMM and HETCM.
Global Standardization Activities-
Standardization Activities on EMC for Telecommunication in ITU-T SG5
Abstract
The NTT Group participates in the development of international standards related to electromagnetic compatibility for telecommunication equipment as part of its effort to protect its telecommunication equipment from electromagnetic disturbances and lightning surges and to provide high-quality, high-reliability telecommunication services. This article reports on the standardization activities at the ITU-T SG5 (International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunication Standardization Sector, Study Group 5) meeting held in October 2015.
