Q8/11 Revised Text
(1/4)
REVISED TITLE:
Guidelines for Implementations of Signalling and
Protocols and for Addressing Counterfeit ICT devices
Geneva, Switzerland, 17-18 November 2014
6
Revised Motivation
(2/4)
 Protocols in packet-based networks are evolving.
 Ongoing studies and results achieved by various international
standardization bodies have led to the emergence of different
solutions to address convergence and interoperability.
 The ITU Member States, particularly those in developing countries
have expressed the needs for assistance in understanding network
and service deployment strategies and scenarios.
 Several forums and conferences have also called for
ITU assistance in addressing the growing problem
of counterfeit telcommunication/ICT products and
devices, which is adversely affecting all
stakeholders in the ICT field (vendors,
governments, operators and consumers).
 Cooperation among ITU-T study groups, between ITU-T and ITU-D as
well as with external bodies outside the ITU (in particular with
SDOs), will be required to gather complete information in this
regard.
Geneva, Switzerland, 17-18 November 2014
7
Revised Study Items
(3/4)
Study items to be considered include, but are not limited to:
What activity is needed in the ITU-T Sector to
prepare common guidelines by the ITU-T and
ITU-D Sectors, containing different aspects
related to technical matters, in particular to
address Counterfeit ICT devices?
 What should be taken into account to assure adequate security
in the deployment of packet-based networks?
 What functional architecture and entities are required to
support services and/or applications of public interest such as
emergency call handling, lawful interception, number
portability, etc.?
Geneva, Switzerland, 17-18 November 2014
8
Revised Tasks
(4/4)
Identify network interconnection scenarios;
Coordinate ITU-T Sector inputs to produce guidelines in cooperation
with the ITU-D Sector, that would include any technical aspects as
prepared by the relevant study groups:
Develop guidelines to address the problem of
counterfeiting of ICT devices;
 Identification of protocols consistent with the existing and new
service requirements of administrations/operators, for migration
from circuit switched networks to packet based networks in the
evolution towards NGN/SUN;
 Degree of interoperability for services between networks
employing different protocols;
 Generic guidelines covering aspects of network testing and
monitoring;
 Prepare the technical guidelines on the signalling requirements
and protocol aspects of packet-based networks to support
PSTN/ISDN services and their evolution to NGN/SUN.
