General Requirements: Access Independence
xDSL
WiFi
Cable
Private Lines
Wireless
Core NGN Subsystems
…
ATIS does not specify that the NGN must support all
access technologies
• Instead, ATIS identifies conditions for support of an IPCAN• IP• support provision of QoS consistent with Y.1541• transport level encryption restricted to IPCAN• may support admission control• mobility management consistent with NGN Core

• backward compatibility for “best effort Internet”• NGN network services may be incompatible with end-to-
end transparency
• Service environment• service development independent of network & application
protocols• SIP as core signaling protocol• also support service APIs (e.g. Parlay / OSA)
![Page 8: ATIS: Next Generation Networks (NGN) Framework: Requirements and Architecture](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062816/5681592d550346895dc65b5c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
11
End User Applications
• Selected representative end user services as “use cases” to test and validate NGN requirements. Identified the network service enablers that would be required for application.
• Interactive voice• Content-based services / video• Multi-media conferencing• Content sharing• Interactive gaming• Sensor and control networking• Mobility management (wireless / wireline)
![Page 9: ATIS: Next Generation Networks (NGN) Framework: Requirements and Architecture](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062816/5681592d550346895dc65b5c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Network Service Enablers
• QoS • Communication Context• Policy • Media Resource Functions• Presence • Media Gateway Functions• Personal Profiles • Session Management• Multicast • Nomadism & roaming• Location • Personal Information Mgmt• ENUM • Content & service discovery
• Digital Rights Management
Network service enablers were defined as network-based communications services that bring value to consumer applications
![Page 10: ATIS: Next Generation Networks (NGN) Framework: Requirements and Architecture](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062816/5681592d550346895dc65b5c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
13
Network Service Enablers: QoS
• QoS has been identified as one of the key Release 1 requirements for NGN• end-to-end• inter-carrier• evolve incrementally from existing best-effort networks• can use complementary techniques
• Network Engineering• Traffic Engineering• Packet Scheduling (e.g. Diff Serv)
• Access networks likely to need packet scheduling QoS mechanisms first
![Page 11: ATIS: Next Generation Networks (NGN) Framework: Requirements and Architecture](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062816/5681592d550346895dc65b5c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
14
Network Service Enablers: Presence & Personal Profiles
• Key capabilities for Release 1 NGN
• endorses the IETF Presence model
• Personal profiles & Personal Information Mgmt complement Presence, to link services and enable end-user centric model
• Ability to link and unify various identities is a foundation for many other NGN services
• End-user centric model will enable significant new service opportunities
![Page 12: ATIS: Next Generation Networks (NGN) Framework: Requirements and Architecture](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062816/5681592d550346895dc65b5c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
15
Network Service Enablers
• Policy• mechanism to ensure consistent application of network
services across various networks and technologies• consistent policy architecture and protocols required
• Media Resource Functions• in legacy networks these were linked to specific services• in the NGN media resources are a generic function• suitable control mechanism is key
![Page 13: ATIS: Next Generation Networks (NGN) Framework: Requirements and Architecture](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062816/5681592d550346895dc65b5c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
16
Network Service Enablers• Location
• Some services (e.g. E.911) require location information• Location may also be a value added service• Network determined location is access specific• Location may also be CPE derived (Network validation
may be required…)
• Content and Service Discovery• required to support rapid service introduction• independent of underlying network technology• discover services based on “interest” (user or device)• client-server and peer-to-peer
![Page 14: ATIS: Next Generation Networks (NGN) Framework: Requirements and Architecture](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062816/5681592d550346895dc65b5c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
18
Underlying Network Capabilities• Identifies network capabilities required for NGN, but which
applications cannot directly access. e.g:• OAM• security
• authentication• non repudiation• etc.
• SLA• network survivability• service quality measurement• mechanisms to predict service quality
![Page 15: ATIS: Next Generation Networks (NGN) Framework: Requirements and Architecture](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062816/5681592d550346895dc65b5c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Security
ATIS Security Focus Group has completed a detailed gap analysis and prepared a work plan to address these gaps. Topics addressed include:
• Authentication and Authorization• user, device and network entity authentication required for
IP-CAN, IMS & applications• Integrity
• level required will depend on the application• Confidentiality & Privacy
• essential for NGN capabilities

ATIS NGN: User Side
• User side includes all “User Domain” or Customer Premises” equipment – Signaling and bearer interfaces to both IP and
non-IP (wireline wireless) networks are included – Both managed and unmanaged Customer prem.
networks are supported, including Customer Network Management (CNM)
– Advanced services like NAPT, FW, I(D/P)S, SLA monitoring/enforcement need to be supported at customer edge as well
![Page 30: ATIS: Next Generation Networks (NGN) Framework: Requirements and Architecture](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062816/5681592d550346895dc65b5c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
38
ATIS NGN: Other Network• Other networks include both TDM and IP networks
(wireline & wireless) – IP network providers interworking with other access
network technologies, such as wireline and wireless carriers thru appropriate Border Gateway functions
– IP network providers interworking with non-IP network technologies for example, the PSTN (thru IP-TDM GW)
Objective is to support high-quality ETE revenue generating service — securely and seamlessly — to the customers, e.g., a handoff for a wireless handset roaming between a wireless and wireline infrastructure without degradation of quality
![Page 31: ATIS: Next Generation Networks (NGN) Framework: Requirements and Architecture](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062816/5681592d550346895dc65b5c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
39
ATIS NGN: Public Network
• A FOUR layer FUNCTIONAL model is used • Transport is IP based with appropriate interfaces to User side,
Other networks, and upper layer functional entities (FEs) • Session admission, authentication and enforcement of policy
are executed via the “Session and Policy” control functions • Value-added and enhanced services are hosted in servers in
the “Applications and Service Capability” functions• Service creation, maintenance, and management thru e.g.,
Web portals – including FCAPS – are performed via the entities in the OAM&P functions
![Page 32: ATIS: Next Generation Networks (NGN) Framework: Requirements and Architecture](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062816/5681592d550346895dc65b5c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
