Question 8/13 - Service scenarios and deployment models of NGN
(New Question)

Motivation

In alignment with reference model and functional architecture of NGN, the service scenarios and deployment models of NGN are critical to realize the practical NGN world. It expects that the NGN will integrate the fixed and wireless/mobile services including Internet applications and wireless/mobile applications. It is emphasized to converge telecommunications services and broadcast services within the NGN. Then, a set of promising service scenarios and deployment models of NGN are very useful to accelerate the NGN deployment. All the scenarios should be initiated from the user point of views, which would be evaluated by the step-by-step manners with self-consistent feedback cycles.

It gives the possible realization scenarios of NGN services from the existing network providers and industries (e.g., voice telephone network, cable-based network, broadcast and satellite network, wireless and mobile network, etc.)

It requests some relationship of other study groups and other organizations on broadcast, wireless/mobile, computer, and consumer technologies.

Question

Study items to be considered include, but are not limited to:
- From user point of views, application specific NGN service scenarios including all Telecommunication* applications. It is anticipated that NGN service scenarios stemming from the existing service environments (e.g., voice telephony service, wireless/mobile service, broadcast and distribution service, and Internet, etc.) should also be studied.
- Technology-based NGN service scenarios by considering computer technology, security technology, electronic appliance technology, broadcast technology including interactivity wireless/mobile technology, and telecommunication technology including enterprise and various access technologies.
* C1012 of ITU constitution

Tasks

Tasks include but are not limited to:
- New draft Recommendations on fixed and mobile convergence scenarios for integration of IP services and cellular mobile services. The expected time frame for completion is the end of 2005.
- New draft Recommendations on convergence scenarios of telecommunication and broadcast services using various broadband access technologies. The expected time frame for completion is the middle of 2006.
- New draft Recommendations on home and enterprise service scenarios using computer, security, and electronic appliance technologies. The expected time frame for completion is the middle of 2006.

Relationships

Close cooperation with other ITU-T Study Groups (for services and applications) and other organization must take place.
