Highlights of Current Activities (1)
TSAG, at its April 2009 meeting, endorsed
the continuation of the JCA-HN under
revised terms of reference.
SGs 5 (EMC), 9 (Cable TV), 12
(Performance), 13 (NGN HN), 15
(Architecture & Transceivers), 16 (Home
Terminals), and 17 (Security aspects) are
involved in Home Networking studies with
work currently underway on a total of 10
Home Networking related
Recommendations.

Highlights of Current Activities (2)
In terms of co-operation with other
bodies, the SG15 work on draft new
Recommendations G.9960 (ex G.hn) “Next generation home networking
transceivers” and G.cx – “Co-existence of
Home Networking implementations” is
particularly important. Careful coordination with other bodies is required to
ensure co-existence with other systems.

Strategic Direction
ITU-T continues to develop a number of
Recommendations in the Home
Networking area.
The JCA-HN continues to encourage cooperation with other Home Networking
bodies.

Challenges
With the ever growing number of computers,
audio/video devices and home automation
products etc. deployed in the home environment,
Home Networking is becoming increasingly
important. The main challenge continues to be
how to bring together the many standards bodies
working on Home Networking in order to develop
global standards in this area which would bring
benefits to manufacturers, Network Operators
and consumers alike.
Network Provider: Responsibility ends at UNI.
Customer: Expects QoS at service end point
(STB) -> Gap between formal responsibility and
customer’s expectation.

Next Steps/Actions
Home Networking is becoming ever more
important and will play a vital role in
applications to reduce home energy
consumption (e.g. smart metering) and
hence help in the fight against climate
change, but at the same time there is a
proliferation of solutions. There must be
an increased effort to encourage Home
Networking standardization bodies to work
together to bring about global solutions.
