Abstract: Mobile Network
Evolution to NGN
Change is necessary. As we manage our lives more and more on
telecommunications networks, we increase the traffic they must
carry. This increases costs but does not drive up revenues as
connectivity becomes a commodity. Today, we have different
networks for different services, different networks for different
enterprises. We have boundaries within service providers that
cause different services to be provided by different platforms
without something ensuring the overall consistency of the user
experience. At many levels the transformed network needs to
eliminate these boundaries. This is essential both for end user
satisfaction and for operator profitability.

Forecasts
Many available!
• Example: Yankee Group, News Release 24 Jun 03:
• estimate 18.6 percent of world’s population currently has
mobile phones
• global wireless user base will increase 49% over next 4
years, reach 1.72 billion by 2007
• global cellular subscriber revenue will grow from $387
billion in 2002 to $584 billion in 2007, similar in value to
crude oil production
• Mobility is a key dimension of the NGN

Looking forward: the Internet
and Telecoms Convergence
• PSTN designed for voice
• Data added by making it behave like voice (modems, ...)
• ISDN designed for both data and voice
• Voice treated as data using CS paradigm (2B+D, ...)
• Internet designed around “best effort” data transfer
(IP, ...)
• QoS, performance issues for voice, high quality audio, high
quality video, real time interactive applications
• can be addressed using a “managed” internet
• Major changes in data capabilities of access
interfaces

What does this mean for the
IMT-2000 Core Network?
• Common CN solution: IP-based using IETF
protocols
• Integration of Wireless LANs into basic mobile
telecommunications paradigm
• Common issues to be dealt with:

•
•
•
•
QoS
Fraud/Privacy
CS (legacy) interworking
Charging
...
• Solution: do it on a common infrastructure
• But there are issues ...

Enhanced End User Experience:
Blending User Devices
• PC, phone(s) and PDA: different user interfaces to
the same network-based application
• Common, network-based directory for:
•
•
•
•
Phone numbers
Buddies & presence
Email address book
All applications
• Just one address to reach the user
• Unified, network-based, user profile applying to all
terminals
• E.g., set presence location, (call routing preferences), etc.,
on any terminal and it applies to all
