ATIS provided an overview of their multi-faceted NGN activities, and stressed the need for
interoperability and service/network convergence, with specific attention to policy architecture.
CCSA described their progress in further developing the NGN, and enlarging its scope, including
further convergence towards unified and ubiquitous networks.
ETSI reviewed the activities of the ATTM and TISPAN committees, describing completion of the
current Release work, and moving towards a focus on the NGN as network for emerging
applications and traffic sources.
ITU highlighted the testing initiatives ongoing and planned for both NGN and IPTV, and their
focus on “the beyond of NGN”, including Future Networks, Ubiquitous Networking, and the
Internet of Things.
TTC described their new work area for NGN interoperability, and development of conformance
and interoperability testing documents. TTC offered to share experiences and invited technical
interaction with other SDOs .
The CJK Testbed Ad-hoc Group (CCSA, TTA, TTC) presented an overview of their test
environment. Inquiries on the testbed and on availability of tools are welcome.
Resolution
•
It is proposed that the existing Resolution GSC14/10 regarding the NGN will be extended with
revisions, and provided to the Plenary as GSC-15-RES-10
•
Under “Resolves” 2) “to promote globally consistent standards ...<snip>” - add:
• utilization of the NGN for emerging applications and traffic sources including: machine-to-machine,
Internet of Things, smart grid, intelligent transport systems; and
• address the need for providing additional services via the NGN, including IPTV (IMS-based and nonIMS) and , Content Distribution Networks (CDN), Cloud and Service-Oriented Networks.
Cybersecurity (ATIS)

Presentations
• Contributions GSC15-GTSC8-06, -07, -10, -11 and -14(-10, -11 and -14 contained
proposed updates to the existing Resolution)
Summary
• Cybersecurity continues to be one of the top priorities in the GSC members.
• Cloud Computing presents an added level of risk to data integrity, privacy and
availability. However, it also offers additional opportunities in these areas as well.
• Countries/regions are developing and sharing best practices to address the
cybersecurity challenges. This could be especially helpful to developing countries.
• The Cybex framework being developed in ITU-T SG 17 provides a model for
o structuring information
o identifying and discovering objects
o requesting and responding with information
o exchanging information over networks
o assured cybersecurity information exchanges
The specifications are especially relevant to Computer Incident Response Teams
(CIRTS), law enforcement and others that must exchange incident or related forensic
information
• Effective cooperation and collaboration across the many organizations, including
standards bodies, doing Cybersecurity work is essential.
Resolution
• Proposed revisions to Resolution GSC-14/11 on Cybersecurity.

Home Networking(ITU)


Presentations
• Contributions GSC15-GTSC8-08(ETSI), -09(ITU) and -13(TTC).
Summary
• Home Networking (HN) is becoming more important and will play a vital role in ICT
applications. HN must consider many devices and various means of access transport,
while at the same time provide, high performance HN solutions including PHY and
DLL, reliable QoS and resource allocation, remote access mechanisms, energy
monitoring and efficiency mechanisms (e.g. G.hnem), network middleware for the HN
communication, and their global interoperability.
• The GSC is invited to recognize that consumer electronics and home networks form a
global ecosystem, so that even well-designed local/national specifications are no
longer sufficient to foster interoperability. In order to promote greater efficiency in this
ecosystem and in the standardization effort, more efforts are required to consolidate
specification frameworks and improve global interoperability.
• There is a huge number of SDOs and fora active for HN issues, and synergies across
the HN standards bodies must be considered. The JCA-HN continues to encourage
co-operation with other Home Networking bodies such as ETSI TISPAN/ATTM, HGI,
BBF, DLNA, UPnP, HomeGrid Forum, UPA, IEC, NIST, IEEE and others.
Resolutions
• The existing Resolution regarding Home Networking will be re-affirmed with minor
updates and the revised resolution will be provided in GSC15-RES-12.
