Market Trend – Huge Competition Market competition is increasing

Core revenue (voice) is saturated and profit Mobile operators squeeze

declining whereas data revenue increases fixed operators

Network costs are too high, and old equipment

need replacing
Fixed operators fight back
with Wi-Fi / Wi-MAX solutions
Networks are complex, hard to scale and
interoperate

New players (OTT,

Roll-out time for new services is too long VoIPs, Google, Skype)
squeeze everyone

Also customers are pushing for more

innovative services

NGN Definition

NGN is a packet-based network able to provide Telecommunication

Services to users and able to make use of multiple broadband, QoS-
enabled transport technologies and in which service-related functions are
independent of the underlying transport-related technologies. It enables
unfettered access for users to networks and to competing service providers
and services of their choice. It supports generalized mobility which will allow
consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to users.

Rec. UIT-T Y.2001 (12/2004)

A Next Generation Network can be defined by six key criteria.

Objectives of the NGN:
• Promote fair competition;
• Encourage private investment;
• Define a framework for architecture and capabilities to be able to
meet various regulatory requirements;
• Provide open access to networks;

Its main goal is to achieve the Network and

Service Convergence.
Next Generation Network has to fulfill the specific characteristics of telecommunication

Signaling Protocols: H.323, SIP,
H.248
Signaling Protocols: H.323, SIP

Signaling protocols are used to establish and control multimedia

sessions. There are currently two standardized protocols widely

deployed in the market, namely H.323 and SIP. These two protocols

provide different approaches toward attaining the same goal—signaling

and control of multimedia conferences.

H.323

H.323 is an umbrella
specification that covers many
other ITU documents and
protocols and is used for
transmitting audio, video, and
data across an IP network,
including the Internet.
SIP
SIP is an application-layer control
protocol that can establish,
modify, and terminate
multimedia sessions
(conferences) such as Internet
telephony calls with simple call
flows and messages.
Megaco (H.248)

• This protocol manages call

sessions across Media
Gateways (MGs) and is widely
used to connect VoIP calls to
traditional PSTN telephony.

• This protocol as developed by

IETF and ITU.

Service Stratum – Trend - IMS
What is IMS?

• IMS is an architecture, it is not a protocol.

• Open-systems architecture that supports a range of IP-based

services over both Private and Carrier networks, employing
both wireless and fixed access technologies.

• IMS is defined by 3GPP.

Basic Principles

• Access Independence

• Different Network Architectures

• Terminal and user mobility

• Extensive IP-based services

40
IMS Building Blocks

1. An all-IP Core Network (CN)

2. An all-IP Radio Access network (RAN)

3. Multimedia call control based on SIP

4. Quality of Service (QoS) support for IP

41
Service Stratum – Trend – IP Multimedia Subsystem
Why all of the excitement?
• Imagine starting a voice call on you home phone and transferring it
seamlessly to your mobile as you drive to work.
• Imagine sending a multimedia message from your car that later
appears on your TV screen.
• Imagine watching a movie on that same TV, pausing it in mid-show and
then watching it on a wireless PDA as you relax in the garden.
• Imagine having a cell phone conversation with two or three friends and
simultaneously sharing a video of the football match you are attending.
• Imagine that all of the above can be done with a single account, on a
single log-in with multiple devices over any number of access networks
• These are only a few examples of seamless multimedia services that
IMS will allow users to access “anywhere” at “anytime” 43
