Recently, Japan introduced a system in which performance tests on all electrical characteristics can be omitted in the periodic in- spections of base stations for mobile communication. This paper analyzes the background of introducing a simplified system that enables the omission of electrical measurements and the reasons why performance tests are omitted in the periodic inspection of base stations for mobile communication in Japan. In addition, based on this analysis, the current status and problems of periodic inspections in Korea are reviewed to provide a basis for policy data for future introduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan introduced the establishment fee system for specified base stations of mobile communication according to the amendment of the Radio Act(2019) and reviewed the method for evaluating the economic value of frequency in calculating standard fees for the establishment fee system. The purpose of the standard fees is to provide a standard for estimating the economic value of frequencies to assist applicants' predictability and calculating reasonable values for the assignment of frequencies(the establishment fee system for specified base stations). In this paper, contents and implications of the method for setting standard fees proposed in Japan are discussed, and the basic directions for applying the plan for the introduction of the system in Korea are suggested.

Recently, mobile communication providers have begun to rollout nationwide 5G services in Japan. In addition to these services, the MIC(Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) of Japan has reviewed and introduced the basic concepts of a local 5G service, frequency allocation, basic policy direction, and technical regulations for licensing, which can be flexibly constructed and used by various entities, according to the needs of local services and various industries. At present, the introduction of a local 5G system is under review in Korea, in response to industry demands. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a persuasive policy for planning the introduction of a 5G system in Korea by analyzing the local 5G policy directions in Japan and Germany.

Super aged society, Japan actively uses Information Communication Technology(ICT) as one of solving methods for various social problem. Especially, for Korea where soon will become super aged society, it would be meaningful to examine the current policy trends and utilization of senior support using ICT in Japan. This study explores the policy trends and utilization of senior support using ICT in Japan through literature review, and then proposes some suggestions as follows. Opportunities for practical use of ICT should be widened in the field of senior support, and efforts are needed to build an information linkage network between institutions for senior support because linkage between care sector and medical sector is important for the elderly support. Besides, simplification of paperwork and easing of burden of care providers or workers in the field should be sought by development and dissemination of various robots. Moreover, the spread of technology for emotional support and stability should be actively pursued by using ICT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
