ITU-T Recommendations

Information communication technologies (ICTs) play an important role with regard to greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring. GHG monitoring is an integral part of the global initiative to reduce greenhouse gases in an attempt to resolve climate change issues. The next generation network (NGN) is considered to be a communications platform suited to support the GHG monitoring task. This supplement describes general aspects of the GHG monitoring issue, and it provides requirements and required functions. In addition, a service model and functional architecture for a GHG monitoring service are presented. NGN-based GHG monitoring service scenarios are also presented.
