Highlight of Current Activities (1)
 Customer Premises Networks (Home Networks) are now junior
partners in a relationship like peering/interconnecting to Operators:
• The Operator needs to have a reliable QoS to the Home
 carrier-grade IPTV, Femto-backhaul, remote-access streaming, …
• The Operator needs to know (something) about the home architecture
 Remotely manage devices, services and QoS; reduce truck roll & call center costs
• The Operator acts like a "transfer network" for home2home services
 ETSI TISPAN specifies in Release-3 for Customer Networks
• QoS and resource allocation to the home (draft TR 182 031 and within the
home (WI 05032 in TISPAN WG5)
• Remote-access mechanisms to allow mobile devices to (a) become "part of"
the home network, (b) to set up QoS for downloads from the home network,
and (c) to set up secure direct links home-to-home (TS 185 003 in WG5)
• Energy monitoring and efficiency mechanisms

Highlight of Current Activities (2)
 ETSI ATTM
• Harmonisation of External Power Supplies for CPE (Cable CPE/DOCSIS
included): ES 202 874 v0.1.1 as cover & TS 102 867 Series
• External Network Terminal Installations (ENTIs) for copper and optical
networks
 TS 102 872 on Copper ENTI
 TS 102 873 on optical ENTI
•
TS 105 175-1 for POF system for fibre in the home has been issued by
end of 2009

Strategic Direction
 Synergies across Fora for Customer Premises Networks (CPNs)
• There is a HUGE number of fora and SDOs active for CPN !!
• TISPAN WG5 is gradually using liaisons to adapt and incorporate input from
many sources, seeking international interoperability.
 QoS
• Broadband Best Effort is _usually_ good enough, but not always!
• TISPAN is cooperating with 3GPP and BBF to find best ways to
set up resource and access control for critical applications like
Femto-backhaul, FMC and LIPA/SIPTO local IP breakout
 Monitoring/Improving Energy Efficiency (incl. Smart Metering)
• Again, a HUGE number of fora! TISPAN compiles a "Who is Who" list of links,
topics and status … trying to avoid duplication
• A critical issue is existence of many different legacy systems,
so some architecture(s) with Gateways need to be considered

Challenges
 Challenge #1: IMS or not ?
• Only few networks have upgraded yet towards IMS. This may be due
to (a) financial constraints (b) no clear killer-app (c) fear of a "heart
transplant" on a running network (d) need to maintain/interface to
legacy systems
 Challenge #2: Explosion of Consumer Electronics in CPNs
• The stone-age was "POTS", the bronze-age was "my PC with xDSL"
• Now we have the age with "2 PCs, a netbook, a media-server,
2 IPTVs, a stereo-system using net-radio, a DigitalPictureFrame,
someone uploading images from their camera, a mobile-phone
synchronizing appointments, iPad, SmartMeters, …
…. a “zillion” IP devices in the home network!

Next Steps/Actions
 Study the impact of the significantly
increased number of IP devices in the home
network.
 Improve global interoperability.

Proposed Resolution [optional]
 The GSC is invited to recognise that
consumer electronics and home networks
form a global ecosystem, so that even welldesigned local/national specifications are no
longer sufficient to foster interoperability. In
order to promote greater efficiency in this
ecosystem and in the standardization effort,
more efforts are required to consolidate
specification frameworks and improve global
7 interoperability.
