Next Generation Network (NGN):
a packet-based network able to provide
telecommunication services and able to make use of
multiple broadband, QoS-enabled transport
technologies and in which service-related functions
are independent from underlying transport-related
technologies.
It enables unfettered access for users to networks and
to competing service providers and/or services of
their choice. It supports generalized mobility which
will allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of
services to users.

1. Key Features of ITU-T NGN
Key Principles of NGN
Open architecture: open to support service creation,
service updating, and incorporation of service logic
provision by third parties and also support “Distributed
control” as well as enhanced security and protection.
Independent provisioning: service provision process should
be separated from network operation by using distributed,
open control mechanism to promote competition.
Multiplicity: The NGN functional architecture shall offer
the configuration flexibility needed to support multiple
access technologies.

1. Key Features of ITU-T NGN
Key Features of ITU-T NGN
Packet-based transfer;
Separation of control functions among BC, call/session,
and application/ service;
Decoupling of service provision from transport;
Support for a wide range of services based on service building blocks;
Broadband capabilities with end-to-end QoS;
Interworking with legacy networks via open interfaces;
Generalized mobility;
Unfettered access by users to different service providers;
A variety of identification schemes;
Unified service characteristics for the same service as perceived by the user;
Converged services between fixed/mobile;
Independence of service-related functions from underlying
transport technologies;
Support of multiple last mile technologies;
Compliant with all regulatory requirements
(e.g. emergency, privacy, lawful interception, etc.)

2. Impacts of ITU-T NGN
NGN; a Convergence Platform
Combination IP with Broadband accelerating intrinsic convergence
• Service convergence: Web based service provisioning
• Network convergence: IP over any broadband transport networks
Advanced Mobile and Wireless technology initiate business
convergence such as Fixed-Mobile convergence
Broadband Fixed, Wireless and Mobile technology boost another
business convergence, called “Multiple Play: Tele-Broadcasting”

4. Future Study Directions
Clue for the Future Study
Convergence should be a critical framework for Future
• Vision: Any Time, Any Where, Any Services and Any Devices
• Fixed Mobile Convergence should be the 1st instantiation
• Any information/services over any transport infrastructures:
VoDSL, TVoMobile, etc. (because of transport agnostic)
Changing Role of current network model; U-/C-/M•
•
•
•
•
IP is the point for service offerings: Everything ov. IP ov. Anything
Key role of below IP is providing connections; BW, QoS etc
Signaling among distributed network element, not end-to-end
Many different IDs for different services; E.164, Names, IP Add etc.
User expectation for Management is changing; no interest
for connection or operation, only for services and businesses
New Paradigm: New model of
User/Control/Management
