Requirements and Capabilities of NGN

o Y.2201 ”High level requirements and capabilities to support NGN Release 1 service objectives” – approved in April 07• Only network capabilities (no user equipment capabilities)• No service-specific requirements• Identified capabilities derived from functionalities developed in

various SDOs and ready for use at Rel.1 time frame • No precise “functional requirements” for specific NGN entities,

rather guidelines for the NGN architecture so that the Architecture FEs are able to support these capabilities and associated requirements

o Y.2201 Rev.1 (formerly NGN Rel.2) Requirements and capabilities for ITU-T NGN – determined in May 09• Includes user related and service-specific requirements

NOTE: each specific NGN realisation may support an arbitraryset of services, thus requiring the implementation of anarbitrary set of capabilities

3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)

o IMS highlights• Provision of call processing and a variety of multimedia services

in an IP based packet-switching domain• Compliance with IETF standardized session control (SIP); profiling• Unique features of SIP for interactive end-to-end communications• Voice, video, presence, messaging, conferencing and other

features• Independence from the Access Network• The Service platform itself is outside the scope of IMS

NGN Architecture objectives and IMS

o The advanced objectives of the NGN Architecture• Support of a comprehensive set of services over a unifying IP

layer network• Transport stratum support of a multiplicity of access networks

and a variety of mobile and fixed terminal types• Services separable from transport stratum into service stratum• Services not limited to those provided by the “home network”• Services able to traverse multiple providers’ networks

o IMS is a core component of the NGN Architecture• IP Multimedia Service component • The capabilities of 3GPP IMS can be used by the NGN

— but some extensions of 3GPP IMS specifications are required— IMS alone is not sufficient for the NGN

• Y.2012 “NGN Rel.1 functional requirements and architecture”• Y.2021 “IMS for NGNs” – NGN Rel.1 deliverable

Limited Mobility capabilities in NGN Release 1

o NGN Release 1 requires support of “Nomadism”• “The ability to change network access point on

moving, without maintaining service continuity”• To be supported between networks and within a network • NOTE: support for service continuity is not excluded

(where specifications already exist)

o Two types of mobility [Y.2201, Q.1706]• Personal mobility: the user moves (between terminals)• Terminal (Device) Mobility: the device moves (with its

binded user)

o No new interfaces defined for Release 1 mobility

Nomadism is the initial step towards Generalized Mobility and Fixed Mobile Convergence

Yogyakarta, Indonesia, 27-29 July 2009 18

Service continuity as step 2 of mobility [Y.2201 Rev.1]

o NGN support of service continuity is recommended in Intra-AN and Inter-AN scenarios for personal and terminal mobility • Implementation levels may vary (depending on conditions such as

access technology restrictions and Provider’s service level support)• For voice services, service continuity required for terminal mobility

o NGN capabilities for service continuity support are required to consider network conditions and users’ reqts

o NGN is recommended to allow adaptation for service continuity when users’ reqts and network conditions mismatch (e.g. (re)negotiation of network QoS and terminal parameters (codec))

“Mobility roadmap”: an important ongoing activityo Working on a multi-dimension matrix which includes the various

mobility features, mobility scenarios and existing solution specifications

MMCF network configuration example – Q.1707/Y.2804

The detailed functional mapping in the NGN architecture is in progresso Y.2018 “Architecture and functional requirements for management of logical

location information and control of mobility in NGN transport stratum” (consent in May 09)• Limited to transport stratum (Q.1707 considers both service and transport)• Provides mechanisms for seamless mobility if network conditions permit,

but doesn’t deal with service adaptation if post-handover QoS degradation

Identity Management (IdM): a key ongoing NGN standardization activity

o “IdM” working definition • “Management by NGN providers of trusted attributes of an entity

such as a subscriber, a device or a provider”

NOTE: it’s not intended to indicate positive validation of a person

o Identity information assurance, security and management are challenging• End users are increasingly using multiple identities• These identities may be associated with differing contexts and

service privileges• The identities may only partially identify the end user• The identities may be used anywhere, anytime• The identities may not be interoperable between providers

Page 26: ITU-T NGN GSI: progress in standardization of capabilities ... · IMS is a core component of the NGN Architecture • IP Multimedia Service component • The capabilities of 3GPP

Yogyakarta, Indonesia, 27-29 July 2009 26

Current progress on NGN Identity Management

Y.2720 “NGN IdM framework”o A structured approach for designing, defining, and implementing

interoperable Identity Management (IdM) solutions for NGNo Identifies a set of capabilities

• e.g., administration, discovery, communication exchanges, correlation and binding, policy enforcement, authentication and authorization

o These capabilities• allow assurance of identity information (e.g., identifiers,

credentials, and attributes) • allow assurance of the identity of an entity (e.g., users/subscribers,

user devices, service providers, and network elements)• support and enhance business and security applications

Y.NGN IdM Requirements “NGN IdM requirements”o Includes former Y.NGN IdM Use Cases as an appendixo Planned for consent in Sept 09

Interconnection

o Interconnection at Network to Network Interface • Between multiple NGN domains, between NGN and other networks

o Two types of Interconnection have been identified• Connectivity-oriented Interconnect (CoIx) is requiredrequired

— Simple IP connectivity, irrespective of interoperability levels— No service awareness, no specific requirements assurance

• Service-oriented Interconnect (SoIx) is not precludednot precluded (R1)— Services offered with defined levels of interoperability

Security of financial transactions – Jan 09 work item

o Security solutions supporting scenarios where• Mobile terminal used as payment or banking terminal• NGN used as transport to carry transaction flows

o Related security issues include• network and interface functions for transaction protection• privacy policy• financial infrastructure protection• subscriber protection and identity management aspects

o Draft Recommendations in progress• “Security requirements for mobile financial transactions in NGN”• “Architecture for secure mobile financial transactions in NGN”

Management of context information

o Context management capability [Y.2201 Rev.1]• Enabling influence or determination of a telecommunication

process by referring to the status of relevant entities• Individual and aggregated entities’ status form a coherent set of

information known as “context information”• Requirements include security, reliability, standardized format and

semantic, real-time and on-demand support of context informationo Context generator, requestor and distributor

• Distributor collects, distributes, processes and optionally stores context information (as broker between provider and consumer)

o Key enabler of advanced and future services: e.g. Targeted Advertising• benefiting from knowledge of user’s context information such as

location (e.g. at home, in town, in a shopping mall), activity (e.g. at work, on holidays, on business trip), sociality (e.g. alone, with family, with friends)

o All possible dimensions of “context“ still to be explored• E.g. correlation with past behaviours of the User

SoIX versus CoIX

o CoIX – transit network is an IP pipe• Transit network operator

not aware of serviceo SoIX – sessions routed through

transit network SIP proxies• Transit network aware of

serviceo Both require a SIP NNIo SoIX enables transit network to:

• Account + charge based on service (phone call, video call etc.)

• Apply dynamic (transport) resource reservation based on service

Hub Hub

o Both likely to co-exist • CoIX is a special case of SoIX (with no intervention at the service layer)• Different markets – some carriers will want to peer with a transit

network and account based on phone calls/sessions, others will want to peer at IP level only. That depends on pricing/revenue flow/traffic mix.

• GSMA IPX allows either pure L3 or Application layer peering

o Multiple attributes are relevant for policy enablement• access specific characteristics, bearer QoS, service type, time, user

subscription information, etc.
