Session 4: Trends of NGN technology and Migration Aspects

Session Chairman: Colin Langtry (ITU/BR)

Objectives: This session will present the evolution of NGN and future perspectives in the relevant access technologies, service and network architecture with special focus on convergence, home, office and mobile applications, Internet protocol-based platforms and multiple access networks. It will be devoted to the evolution of the network architecture towards NGN (IMS based or otherwise), fixed-mobile convergence, evolution: towards a new generation of broadband mobile, PSTN/ISDN evolution to NGN, pilot cases, and studies and scenarios taking into consideration the relevant business models and opportunities:

Lunch break: 13:30 - 14:45 hours

14:45 – 16:45 hours

Session 5: Interconnection and Interoperability and Security Aspects of NGN

Session Chairman: Paolo Rosa (ITU/TSB)

Objectives: This session will open with a presentation on the User-to-Network Interface supporting the services defined for the NGN. In addition, accomplishment of the goal of Plug and Play devices place requirements in at least three major areas, Auto-Provisioning, Standard SIP Profile & Call flows, and Standardized limited codec selection. Currently there are various implementations and deployments that perform Session/Border Control Functions (S/BCF), [aka, Session Border Control] in service provider, enterprise, access and end-user networks. Defining requirements for these functions and for mapping these to physical implementations is needed to allow for vendor product interoperability and network interconnection.  Moreover, Number Portability and Network Address, Translation and Protocol Translation issues will be considered as well as interconnection of NGN and legacy networks.  This session will provide an overview of security standards and current security standardization work. Security topics will include technologies and convergence implications and will cover cybersecurity issues e.g. combating spam. Topics to be discussed are:
