Home services are delivered by gateways based on OSGi
specifications
Some relevant European projects on the home services
based on OSGi specifications

Introduction of home server/network-related TC100
activities
PC is leading the home network with network media
player
Broadcasting services based on home server will drive
gateway function between in-house network and access
network
DRM is the key issue for A/V network deployment

Overview of standardization activity for interworking in
DHF (Digital Home-networking Forum)
Home Network should be “network” rather than “link” for
exchanging data between devices.
Focus is given to directory service for discovery of service
and device
ITU-T SG16 is extending scope to multimedia systems in
home network.
More standardization is needed on service integration, new
services, NGN

“Integrating Cellular and VoIP Services Using In-Home
Wireless Technologies”



Cellular subscribers are increasingly using their cell
phones at home, wireless substitution for wireline
telephony will likely drive home-based usage even further
Use of in-home wireless technologies as the over-the-air
interface for cell phones within the home will meet the
rapidly increasing capacity demands in residential areas
Integration with a Broadband Voice over IP network
provides a signaling and transport mechanism for the voice
traffic, as well as enables a variety of interesting features

Overview of issues in the session


5/31/2016
Components of the home service provided in the home
network environments are:
 Internet access (web, e-mail, ….)
 Audiovisual, including conventional and storage-based
TV broadcasting
 Telephone
 Tele-control, appliance management, home security
Those components should be provided not only separately
but also combined seamlessly to form integrated home
services.

Recommendations


5/31/2016
Write more scenarios of the integrated service that
capitalize on the availability of the mentioned component
services, such as a service merging broadcasting and
telecommunication
From those service descriptions, derive requirements to the
home networking architecture.

Follow-up actions


5/31/2016
Go back to each Study Group with the given information
and views, and study on issues specific to the SG in the
home networking and home services area
In ITU-T SG16, consider multimedia services in the home
network environments, add H.300-series system as a
component
Consider if the current H.300-series specifications are
sufficient for the home network use, for example any
problems involved in the communication via the home
gateway

Conclusion


5/31/2016
This workshop has provided various ideas surrounding the
home services as a good stimulus for exploring new
multimedia services and systems in SG16 (or its successor)
Many thanks to the four speakers, Michal Lisiecki, Keiichi
Murakami, Keiichi Hibi and Ed Miller, for their valuable
information and insight
