HGI does not specify objectives of related standardisation bodies

Clear boundaries with related standardisation bodies

Outcome of HGI is a reference architecture for a home gateway

DSLHome (Initiative of DSL Forum)

goals HGI relevance

DSL Forum documents: TR-69 CPE WAN

Management Protocol

WT-121 TR-069 Implementation guidelines

WT-124 Residential Gateway Requirements

...TR – approved document, WT – work in progress

members

DSL CPE vendors Service provider, network operator

(mainly North American)

Specifications for Broadband Home Network Equipment

Remote CPE management and provisioning

Provide auto configuration for DSL Equipment

Slide 8 of 14 13/04/05

DLNA

goals HGI relevance

End-user devices are crucial to service delivery.

DLNA is complementary to the HGI objectives; HGI objectives have clear boundaries with DLNA objectives.

Strongly coupled to NMPR.

members

Hardware and software technology providers.

Delivery of design guidelines based on open industry standards for interoperability and cross-industry digital convergence of PCs, consumer electronics and mobile devices:

Networking and Connectivity Device and Service Discovery and

Control Media Format and Transport Model Media Management, Distribution and

Control

Slide 9 of 14 13/04/05

UPnP

goals HGI relevance

Use already specified profiles for management and service applications (e. g. QoS control).

Provide UPnP device and service profiles for the HGI Home Gateway.

membership

Vendors, including industry leaders in consumer electronics, computing, home automation, home security, appliances, printing, photography, computer networking, and mobile products.

Definition of methods and protocols that allow for IP-based device interaction (detection and control).

Continuous definition of device and service profiles that provide concrete functionality of devices (control).

Slide 11 of 14 13/04/05

OSGi Alliance

goals HGI relevance

The integration of an OSGi service platform is the last foreseen step for the Home Gateway to become a full blown Service Gateway (multiple services scenario).

members

Operators, manufacturers and technology providers from fixed, mobile and automotive industries.

Operators that are HGI and OSGi members as well: Belgacom, Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom, NTT, Telefonica, TeliaSonera.

Definition of an industry standard for an open service management and delivery platform as a focal point of service providers, developers, manufacturers and consumers.

Primary targeting small/embedded devices, such as home gateways, telematic devices and mobile phones.

Facilitates installation and operation of multiple services on a single platform.

ETSI TISPAN

goals HGI relevance

Reference for NGN network and service architectures

Requirements for fixed-mobile convergence

membership

Network Operators, Service Providers, Manufacturers, Administrators, Users

A multi-service, multi-protocol, multi-access, IP based network

Multi-services: delivered by a common QoS enabled core network

Multi-access: several access networks; fixed and mobile terminals

Not one network, but different networks that interoperate seamlessly

An enabler for Service Providers to offer real-time and non real-time communication services between peers or in a client-server configuration

Nomadicity and Mobility of both users and devices

intra- and inter-Network Domains, eventually between Fixed and Mobile networks

Slide 14 of 14 13/04/05

UMA – UnlicensedMobile Access

goals HGI relevance

Home Gateway should be applicable to UMA technologies

membership

Telecommunication Operators Telco technology providers Mobile phone manufacturers

Provide access to GSM and GPRS mobile services over unlicensed spectrum technologies (e. g. Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11).

Enable subscribers to roam between cellular networks and public/private unlicensed wireless networks.

Release UMA specifications (technology-driven consortium).
