Title:
Report on FG-FN Activities and Proposals
Executive summary
This report documents the results of ITU-T’s Focus Group on Future Networks (FG-FN) by
summarizing FG-FN activities since its first meeting in June 2009. It also provides proposals
for future FG-FN activities from April 2010.
To meet its objectives in its terms of reference, that is, to gather new ideas relevant to Future
Networks (FNs) and to identify potential study areas, to describe visions, to identify a
timeframe, to identify potential impacts on standards development and to suggest future ITUT study items, FG held eight meetings, many of them as collocated meetings with FN related
academic events. By collecting information through these activities, FG developed ‘project
description’ deliverable that describes FN related research activities.
Based on this information as well as contributions and discussions, FG has developed FN
vision deliverable. As FN vision, FG has found new requirements for networks which come
from new application areas such as internet of things or smart grid, new social requirements
such as environment. FG identified four objectives that will differentiate FNs from
conventional networks, that is, service-, data-, environment-, and social and economic
awareness. Twelve design goals in order to realize the objectives were identified, that is,
service diversity, functional flexibility, virtualization of resources, data access, energy
consumption, service universalization, economic incentives, network management, mobility,
network optimization, identification, reliability and security, assuming that the target date for
prototyping and phased deployment of FNs falls roughly between 2015 and 2020. FG also
identified technologies in recent research efforts that are likely to be used as enablers of these
design goals.
FG has identified three important technology areas, and has started to develop deliverables
that describe the issues in details. The first one is network virtualization, a technology that
generates logically isolated network partition in networks and enables co-existence of
networks of different architecture or different protocols. Second one is energy savings of
networks, which will contribute to reduce environmental impact of networks. The third one is
identification processes and identifiers, which are the starting point for everything.

By doing this activity, FG has found promising areas of today are in interdisciplinary areas
between telecommunication and other industries. For example, smart grid is the one with
power industry. FNs are the base for these interdisciplinary area activities, so closer
collaboration with other industries will be the key for further standardization of FNs.
Based on these findings, FG proposes the followings to SG13.

OD-72/TD-105 (vision deliverable) is mature enough for publication, and it should be
processed for approval procedure of an ITU-T recommendation immediately. Since it
will be the baseline recommendation for other FN related recommendations, FG
proposes to publish it as a new series recommendation. Other deliverables should be
studied further at Future Networks Question (Q.21/13), and some of them should be
published as recommendations when they become mature enough.

All Questions of SG13 as well as other SGs in ITU-T should review FG deliverables, and
start standardization based on them, in particular 12 design goals in vision deliverable.

SG13 should pay attention to sustain and expand the relationship with other FN related
activities established through FG activities. These activities were difficult to reach in
traditional ITU-T activities because currently FN activities are mainly in academics and
they are not always interested in standardization and does not submit contribution to
ITU-T. FG has learned that it is difficult to invite contributions when an activity is in its
pre-standardization phase.

Collaboration with other industry SDOs needs to be strengthened, e.g., by exchanging
liaisons or by having collocated meetings with their activities because closer
collaboration with other industries will be the key for FNs.

1. Scope
This report documents the results of ITU-T Focus Group on Future Networks (FGFN), summarizing FG-FN activities since its first meeting in June 2009. It also
provides proposals on future FN activities from January 2011.
2. Purpose and Objectives of FG-FN
According to the decision by WTSA-08 at Johannesburg, the title of SG13 in the
new study period (2009-2012) is “Future Networks including Mobile and NGN”
reflecting the importance of “Future Networks” agreed by WTSA -08. It means that
the SG13 has a leading role to investigate the issue on Future Networks in the new
study period. In particular, a new Question on Future Networks has been approved as
Q.21/13.
Future Networks have become a part of global agenda through lots of research
activities such as IRTF (International), GENI/FIND (US), FP7/FIRE (EU), CNGI
(China), AKARI/NwGN (Japan), FIF (Korea) as well as standardization works in
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6. The academic community expressed their strong interest in
collaborating with the ITU-T on this subject during the last ITU-T Kaleidoscope
event in May 2008. However, it is understood all these activities are in their early
stage of investigation. Taking into consideration the importance of global
connectivity and interoperability between devices, networks, services and
applications, global harmonization between these different activities are extremely
important and necessary to build up globally interoperable future ICT
infrastructures.
ITU-T SG13 envisions that the role of the Focus Group will involve interaction with
these various research activities, and familiarize ITU-T and standardization
communities with emerging attributes of future networks.
Having this in mind, at January 2009 meeting SG13 established the Focus Group to
document results that would be helpful for developing Recommendations for future networks.
To achieve this objective the Focus Group was mandated to

gather new ideas relevant to Future Networks and identify potential study areas on
Future Networks,

describe visions of the Future Networks,

identify a timeframe of Future Networks,

identify potential impacts on standards development, and

suggest future ITU-T study items and related actions.

5. Key summary of Activities
FG-FN was established at January 2009 SG13 meeting under ITU-T A.7 guidelines. Under
the chairperson and two vice-chairpersons, it had its first kick-off meeting in June 2009,
and eight face-to-face meetings including the kick-off. Since April 2010 SG13 meeting
extended the lifetime of FG till the end of 2010, its activity spans 18 month.
Since it was very important to collaborate with academics and to study ongoing research
activities, the first four FG meeting was held by visiting various future network events in
all over the world, i.e., Europe, North America and Asia. Through this activity various
information were collected as verbal information as well as written contributions [see
contribution list in Appendix 2]. Together with the information collected during the later
meetings, this information is summarized in uniform format as project descriptions.
Based on this information, contributions and discussions FG focused on developing
documents in the latter four meetings. It has developed consolidated vision document and
three documents on specific key technology area, network virtualization, identification
and energy savings of networks. Assuming that Future Networks are the networks that
roughly start to emerge between 2015 to 2020 to satisfy new requirements from new social
requirements, new application areas and new implementation technologies, FG identified
four candidate objectives (environment, service, data and social-economics) that can
differentiate Future Networks from existing ones, and described twelve design goals.
Besides the project descriptions and the four documents (consolidated vision and three
specific areas) mentioned above, FG has developed t wo documents, report on activities
and proposals document (this document) and terminology. These seven documents have
been submitted to January 2011 SG13 meeting for consideration.
5.1.
FG-FN Management
FG was organized as a single entity and did not establish internal groups, e.g., working groups.
All the activities were managed by the Chairperson, Mr. Naotaka Morita (NTT, Japan) and two
vice-chairpersons, Mr. Hyoung-Jun Kim (ETRI, Korea) and Prof. Alex Galis (UCL, UK). However,
because Mr. Morita stepped down, Mr. Takashi Egawa (NEC, Japan) became the acting chairperson
at the 3rd Geneva meeting and took over the chairmanship from 4th Tokyo meeting.
5.2.
Methodology
The FG work required broad survey of academic/industry activities, and broad participation from
such activities as well as ITU-T members. To this end FG decided to have four F2F meetings by
visiting various research activity events all over the world. The first meeting was with European
project FIRE in Lulea, Sweden. The second meeting was with GENI in Salt Lake, USA. The third
meeting was with NGN-GSI in Geneva, Switzerland. The fourth was with Future Network Testbed
symposium in Tokyo, Japan.
From 5th meeting FG decided to spend more effort on completing documents under development, in
particular to establish an overall image of Future Networks, and held four meetings without visiting
academic events.

The FG-FN was open to all ITU-T Member States, Sector Members and Associates as well as any
other universities, academic institutes, consortia, standards bodies and individuals. Figure 1 depicts
the timeline for the FG-FN.
As described in Figure 1, FG-FN developed these documents in a different way from common
methodology in standardization. In common method use cases and scenarios are collected, and in
stage 1 requirements are described, in stage 2 architecture, and in stage 3 protocol. But in FG-FN
where novel technologies are one of the key drivers of this activity, FG did its discussion and
documentation in two ways. One is bottom-up approach in which FG collected the information of
future network related activities, identified research areas that may become key enabler/driver of
future networks, and developed consolidated vision. The other is top-down approach in which FG
tried to describe the vision first by analyzing social requirements.

Summary of FG Meetings
The following is a brief summary of the eight FG-FN face-to-face meetings.

The First FG-FN meeting (OD-01)
o Framework of existing research activities in China, Europe, Korea, and Japan
were introduced. Framework of other regions’ activities should be taken into
account. Further inputs are expected.
o Two deliverables were identified to be produced by FG-FN, which are 1) Future
Networks: vision, concept, and requirements (Agreed scope and table of
contents were in FGFN-OD-05, editors are Myung-Ki Shin, ETRI and Daisuke
Matsubara, Hitachi) and 2) framework of network virtualization (title only,
editor is Sangjin Jeoung, ETRI).
o Based on contributions, initial thoughts on the design of future networks, i.e.,
concept, key characteristics, and requirements of Future Networks were
collected and published in FGFN-OD-06.
o Eleven technical inputs were summarized in “project description format,” which
are given in FGFN-OD-07. More inputs are expected to formulate specific
technology areas. The project description template is given in FG FN-OD-08.
o In order to create a useful and convincing Future Network vision, the meeting
agreed to review ongoing research activities from specific viewpoints of
technology in parallel with concept discussion.
o Target time frame of Future Networks to be dealt with by FGFN was clarified.
There was common understanding that the estimated target date for prototyping
and phased deployment of Future Networks should roughly fall between 2015
and 2020. This estimate is based on two factors: First, the status of cur rent and
evolving technologies that would be employed in the experimentation and
-9TD1 15 (PLEN/13)
development of FNs as presented by contributions to the Focus Group meeting.
Second, any novel development that might take place well beyond that estimate
is too speculative and is outside the mandate of this focus group.
o Working method of FG-FN was agreed, which is given in FGFN-OD-09.
o Chairman proposed tentative meeting plan, candidate tasks, and document
structure of FGFN. The meeting agreed to follow the proposals, which ar e given
in FGFN-OD-11.
o A vice chairman, Mr. Hyoung Jun KIM, ETRI Korea, was appointed. Further
volunteers for vice chairman are expected.
o Chairman was suggested to continue collocation meetings with existing research
organizations.
o Two draft Recommendations which had been produced by Q.21 were raised for
information. Since FGFN agreed to contribute Q.21 work in a comprehensive
manner, FGFN believed that Q.21 should wait for FGFN inputs before further
advancing the work on two drafts by freezing the editing process.
o Liaison statements were produced to reply to incoming liaison queries including
ones previously received by SG13 on the matter of FGFN. They are given in
FGFN-OD-10.
o Thanks to the local supporters, FGFN participants joined FIRE –living lab
events in the same week.
o The FIRE - FGFN joint meeting was held in the morning of 2 July 2009.
Fabrizio Sestini, EC, DG INFSO and Naotaka Morita, chairman of FGFN
chaired the meeting. The agenda is given in FGFN-TD-05. Documents are given
in FGFN-TD-09. Chairman of FGFN made three presentations and FIRE experts
made three presentations. Experts on both sides exchanged their views including
mutual possible benefit of collaboration. Although the meeting did not identify
any urgent need for ITU-T standardization with regard to FIRE activities, the
meeting agreed to continue information exchange and collaboration.

The second FG-FN meeting (OD-13)
o Participating in and gaining information about the 6th Global Environment for
Network Innovations (GENI) Conference (GEC6) thanks to the understanding of
the GENI Project Office (GPO).
o Clarifying the scope of Future Networks by confirming the target timeframe,
clarifying the baseline of the study, and describing the relationship with legacy
networks. The agreed text is given in the “vision” document in OD-16. The
meeting also agreed to consider materials, which are packed in OD -16, as
candidates to be incorporated into the “vision” document. OD -06, which was
compiled at the last meeting, also contains candidate materials. Exper ts will
discuss the document structure and possible content of the “vision” document
via e-mail to settle the issue at the next meeting in January 2010 in Geneva.
o Developing the first framework document of a potential new study area, which
is on network virtualization, with the definition of terminology, initiation of
architectural discussion, and implementation examples. The draft is given in
OD-17.
o Initiating investigation of two new study areas: identifiers related to Future
Networks and their processes, and technologies of energy saving networks. They
are given in OD-18 and OD-19, respectively.
- 10 TD1 15 (PLEN/13)
o Collecting six new project descriptions and relevant forums and organization
information, which are given in OD-20 and OD-21.
o Reviewing Future Network activities such as the Future Internet Design (FIND)
project sponsored by the US National Science Foundation (NSF), emerging
virtual network research of the IRTF, EU FP7 Management and Service -aware
Networking Architectures (MANA) group, and the ETSI ISG Autonomic/S elfManaging Multi-Service Future Networks (AFI) group.
o Nominating a new vice chairman, Professor Alex Galis of University College
London (UCL).
o Establishing future meeting schedules. The third meeting is 26 -28 January 2010
in Geneva, Switzerland. The fourth meeting is tentatively announced as 29
March – 2 April 2010 in Tokyo, Japan.

The third FG-FN meeting (OD-23)
o An analysis of various visions was presented as huge step forward in direction
of description of motivation and vision in FNVision document, wh ere also new
table of content was agreed.
o Based on contributions attributes, problem space, and some use cases was
explored on network virtualization. Some fundamental questions were raised
from network management point of view and the necessity to explore the issue
was recognized.
o By introducing materials on introduction, capabilities etc., the image of energy
savings of networks was clarified.
o TDs of a SG13 rapporteur stimulated a discussion on the meaning of clean -slate.
It was noted that there are issues that cannot, need not, or virtually impossible
to change in future networks, and it was agreed to develop a short list of
questions/issues that clarifies the problem, what are the trials in the past and
what are the pros and cons of them.
o Collecting of one new project descriptions which is given in OD-30.
o New vice chairman, Professor Alex Galis of University College London (UCL)
attend the meeting. The announcement was made at the SG13 plenary on
January 29, 2010.
o Established the next meeting schedule. The fourth meeting is in 29 March – 2
April 2010 in Tokyo, Japan.

The fourth FG-FN meeting (OD-32)
o It was agreed to propose to April SG13 meeting to extend FG lifespan for 12
month, that is, until June 2011, based on the recognition that it is necessary t o
review the information collected and to document integrated vision, and to assist
ITU-T continue to be a focal point of future network standardization.
o Based on the contributions and discussions based on the summary of FGFN
mailing list discussions, the meeting understood that candidate concept such as
even more dynamic, smart and flexible network management (which can be the
justification of network virtualization) and sustainability such as energy savings
are emerging as important requirements of telecommunication networks. They
were recognized as important candidates for the update of FN vision document,
and based on the discussion on other contributions the document was improved.
- 11 TD1 15 (PLEN/13)
o During the meeting, the definition of network virtualization was revised in order
to provide bridge between network virtualization technology and other emerging
services, such as cloud computing. Also, uses cases based on mobility
perspective were investigated and incorporated into the framework document.By
analysing the IP address scheme in mobile environment, a set of requirements
for future networks was added to identification document.
o Based on contributions, descriptions and categorization of current energy saving
technologies for networks, and possible future technologies were added to
FNenergy document.
o It was agreed to develop terminology document by collecting definitions from
other FG-FN documents.
o Collected one new project description, MOFI, which is given in OD -41.
o It was announced that the Chairman, Mr. Naotaka Morita (NTT, Japan) steps
down because of his health problem. The meeting agreed that Mr. Takashi
Egawa (NEC, Japan) takes over the chairmanship.
o It was agreed to try to have a co-located meeting with FP7 event in June 14-18
in Florence, Italy. Backup is the same time period but in Geneva.

The fifth FG-FN meeting (OD-43)
o Based on the contributions, the meeting made a major progress of FN vision
document. The structure of the document was changed, and was agreed to have a
brief ‘objective’ section to show the essence of FN, that is, why we need future
networks. Energy awareness, service awareness, contents awareness and
incentive awareness was described as the objectives. It was understood that the
relationship between this new section and other sections needs f urther
investigation and clarification, and will become an important discussion point at
the next meeting.
o Based on the contributions, revised table of contents, and text for attributes of
network virtualization section were added.
o It was agreed to divide Introduction section of FNenergy document into
Introduction section and Motivation and High Level Requirements section.
Capability section was also revised, and the description of capabilities that was
used to explain a table has become a explanation of possible capabilities of
future networks.
o The plan for the future meetings was announced. The next meeting will be on
the 1st week of NGN-GSI event, 6-9 September in Geneva.

The sixth FG-FN meeting (OD-51)
o The meeting made a major progress of FNvision docume nt, and the text is
becoming in a good shape. Based on the document structure agreed at the
previous meeting, major enhancement was made on almost all the sections
thanks to 19 contributions. To stabilize the document by clarifying e.g., missing,
insufficient, inappropriate items will be the important discussion point at the
next meeting.
o Various sections, in particular problem space section and attributes section of
FNvirt document was enhanced.
- 12 TD1 15 (PLEN/13)
o Various energy savings technologies including wireless techn ologies were added
to FNenergy document. A figure that describes an overall conceptual
management/control flow of energy savings technology was proposed and
discussed. The basic idea of the figure was welcomed, but since it would be a
very important figure and the meeting failed to reach clear consensus on its
details, it was added to the document as a living list item. This will become a
major discussion point in future meetings.
o A project description was generated.
o Joint meeting with Focus Group on Cloud Computing (FG-Cloud) was held, and
the areas and methods for future collaboration were discussed. It was recognized
that there were areas, e.g., virtualization, that both FGs have strong interests.
However, since both FGs have severe time limitations, it w as agreed not to
establish special collaboration groups or procedures, but to collaborate by
exchanging liaisons.

The seventh FG-FN meeting (OD-60)
o The meeting made a major progress of FNvision document, and the text is
becoming in a good shape. By using the several review results of the previous
meeting output, major enhancement was made on almost all the sections thanks
to 15 contributions. Finalizing the document by clarifying e.g., missing,
insufficient, inappropriate items will be the important discuss ion point at the
next meeting.
o Various sections, in particular problem space, attributes and applicability
section of FNvirt document was enhanced.
o Various energy savings technologies including wireless technologies were added
to FNenergy document. An updated figure with its explanation that describes an
overall conceptual management/control flow of energy savings technology, an
item added as a living list at the previous meeting, was added in the main body.
o Basic direction of the final FG FN activities report to SG13 was presented.
Finalization will be done until end of Dec. 2010.

The eighth FG-FN meeting (OD-68)
o After intensive discussion and hard work, the meeting has completed FNvision
document. In FG-FN activity report, FG proposes SG13 to start immediately its
approval process as a new ITU-T recommendation, assigning a new series
number because it will be a baseline recommendation for other FN related
recommendations.
o Descriptions on control framework of Logically Isolated Network Partition
(LINP), some definitions, and a test-bed use-case were added to FNvirt
document. Many editorial changes in particular introduction section was also
made to the document.
o Various editorial clarifications were made on FNenergy document. One of them
is the terminology. The meeting agreed to use the term ‘energy savings’, not
‘electric power savings’ in this document. The meeting also agreed to call
energy saving technology’s three level as device, equipment, and network level.
o Project description deliverables and terminology deliverables were updated by
using the information developed between 5th and 8th meetings.
- 13 TD1 15 (PLEN/13)
o A report that describes all FG-FN activities from its beginning and its
concluding proposals was developed and was submitted to January SG13
meeting.
In addition intensive discussion was held on the mailing list of FG ( fgfn@list.itu.int ).

Accomplishments
5.4.1.
Diversity of Participants
The FG attracted a number of FN experts from various researchers in communications sectors and
engaged with a worldwide array of FN forums. FG also visited various activities and collected
information. The work resulted in establishing productive and continuing collaboration with
various. As for the research activities FG collected information from European, US, Brazil, China,
Japan, Korean activities. FG also established relationship with SDOs, ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6 and
ETSI/ISG AFI. In particular JTC1/SC6 regularly participated in our activity.
These relationships, many of which have not previously been involved with ITU-T, proved
invaluable in progressing the FN work and established new relationships for ITU-T’s FN
standardization work.
Refer to Appendix I for participation diversity.
5.4.2.
Key findings
By visiting various academic events all over the world that relate to future networks, the FG
succeeded directly to observe their activity and to exchange opinions and views on future networks
with researchers active in this community. Thanks to these activities as well as the contributions and
discussions at FG meetings, we found that the followings.
As for the overall vision of FNs, FG has found new requirements for networks that arises from new
social requirements (e.g., environment), new application areas (e.g., internet of things, cloud, smart
grid), new implementation technologies. These new requirements are stimulating research activities,
and they are expected to result in networks of new architecture in 2015-2020 as prototyping or
phased deployment. These networks should be called Future Networks.
FG has identified following four objectives of FNs as those that are not considered or not
sufficiently satisfied in current networks, that is,

environmental awareness,

service awareness,

data awareness, and

social and economic awareness.
These objectives will clearly differentiate FNs and motivate their development and investigation.
Based on these findings, FG has identified design goals in twelve areas, i.e., service diversity,
functional flexibility, virtualization of resources, data access, energy consumption, service
universalization, economic incentives, network management, mobility, network optimization,
identification, reliability and security,
FG has identified three important technology areas, and has started to develop deliverables that
describe the issues in details. One is network virtualization, a technology that generates logically
isolated network partition in networks and enables co-existence of networks of different architecture
or different protocols, which will contribute to realize even more diversified services, to easier
- 14 TD1 15 (PLEN/13)
network management, and to flexible functionalities by allowing small start of experimental
services. The other is energy savings of networks, which will contribute to reduce environmental
impact as well as avoiding power consumption (and resulting heat, etc.) to become the limitation for
network operation. The third one is identification processes and identifiers. Identifiers themselves
are not new, but they are the starting point for everything, in particular for better mobility and for
data access. There are other important areas as described in objectives or design goals, but FG
focused on to these three areas considering its limited time and resources.
By doing this activity, FG has found that promising areas of today are in interdisciplinary areas
between ICT and other industries. Cloud: computing is the one between computing industry, smart
grid is between power industry, and IoT is between various industries such as health or vehicles.
FNs need to be the base for these interdisciplinary area activities. Closer collaboration with the
other industries will therefore the key for further study of FNs.
5.4.3.
Focus Group Deliverable Reports
As described in 5.2 Methodology section, FG has developed six deliverables. One is a deliverable
that describes consolidated vision of FNs. This is supported by three deliverables that describes
specific technology areas. There are two more documents. One is terminology on FNs, and the other
is project description.
A summary of the FG-FN deliverables are shown in Table 1.

6. Proposals on future activities
FG has completed to develop a deliverable that describes the consolidated vision on FNs,
that is, high-level objectives and 12 design goals of FNs. This deliverable is the starting
point of FN standardization in SG13 and other SGs in ITU -T, but because of the limited
resources, this activity is still in its initial stage.
Based on this recognition, FG proposes the followings.
1. FG deliverables should be treated as follows.
- 16 TD1 15 (PLEN/13)
1. All the deliverables and this report should be publicized at FG-FN web site.
2. OD-72/TD-105 (WP5/13) (vision document) should be processed for approval
procedure of an ITU-T recommendation immediately. Since it will be the baseline
recommendation for other FN related recommendations, FG proposes to publish it
as a new series recommendation.
3. OD-73/TD-101 (WP5/13) (network virtualization), OD-74/TD-103 (WP5/13)
(energy savings) and OD-39/TD-102 (WP5/13) (identification) should be studied
further at Q.21/13, and should be published as recommendations when they
become mature.
4. OD-75/TD-182 (GEN/13) (terminology) should be maintained at Q.21/13, and
should be published as a recommendation when its volume reaches the level that
effectively guides readers of FN related recommendations.
5. OD-76/TD-105 (WP5/13) (project description) should be maintained at Q.21/13,
and should regularly be published as a supplement of the vision recommendation.
2. To start FN standardization based on FG deliverables, in particular 12 design goals in
vision document.
FG requests All Questions of SG13 as well as other SGs in ITU-T to review FG
deliverables, and to identify work items appropriate for their groups. As stated, vision
deliverable has identified 12 design goals. These design goals mainly describes the
architecture related issues, so many of them primarily relates to SG13. However, it is
obvious that there are other important issues that require the expertise of other SGs.
The resource of Future Network Question (Q.21/13) is very limited. FG believes the
support from other Questions of SG13 and other SGs is the key for further study.
3. SG13 to sustain and expand the relationship with other FN related activities.
FG has learned there are many FN related activities outside of ITU -T by academics and
by SDOs, through its visit to them. The relationship with them needs to be sustained
for future FN standardization activities.
These activities were difficult to reach by traditional ITU-T activities. Current FN
related activities are mainly in academics, and many of them are not always interested
in standardization activities because their primary target is research. FG learned that
contribution-based approach does not always work to initiate a survey about new areas.
Technology watch is a TSAG-level survey to overcome this difficulty, but such
activities also seem necessary at SG level to sustain and expand the relationship with
ITU-T and activities in new areas.
4. Collaboration with other industry SDOs needs to be strengthened.
As stated in key findings (section 5 4.2), FG has found that FNs needs to be a base for
interdisciplinary area activities between telecommunication industries and other
industries. One of the difficulties FG faced was that FG participants were experts of
networking technologies and did not have detailed knowledge to specify design goals
from other industry-related issues such as smart grid, cloud computing or IoT. It is
- 17 TD1 15 (PLEN/13)
therefore necessary to have closer collaboration with other industry SDO activities
more than exchanging liaisons.
7. Conclusions
The FG-FN has developed a deliverable that describes the consolidated vision on FNs and
relevant deliverables. These deliverables, in particular vision deliverable will be the
starting point of future standardization activities in SG13 and other SGs of ITU-T.
