• After 18 months of intensive activity the NGN Focus Group, at end of 2005, handed over its results to Study Group 13 and other relevant study groups to continue the development of global NGN standards
ITU-T NGN Focus Group

Ongoing arrangements
• At its meeting in September 2005 Study Group 13 put in place the arrangements for the ongoing NGN work
• A major consideration in the future planning was the need to continue to have a visible focus for the NGN work and to maintain as far as possible the co-location of the closely related NGN work performed under the umbrella of a coordinated work plan
GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications
• To achieve this the ITU-T NGN Global Standards Initiative (NGN-GSI)* was established under which the ongoing work is being done by the Study Groups and their Rapporteur Groups meeting together as necessary according to an NGN work plan being coordinated by Study Group 13

Technical and Strategic Review
• It was also agreed to set up under the NGN Joint Coordination Activity (NGN-JCA)* a new Strategic and Technical Review function (TSR) which would at every NGN-GSI event perform technical coordination of the NGN work across the various study groups
*See http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com13/ngnjca/index.html

Expansion of the NGN-JCA
• In addition representatives of the GSC
PSO’s were invited to participate in the
NGN-JCA in order to help provide the
strategic direction to the ongoing global
NGN standardisation work and to help
foster good collaboration amongst the
various organisations

NGN-GSI events
• Two NGN-GSI events have so far been held
– Meetings of Study Groups 11, 13 and 19
together with WP2/17 and representatives of
Study Groups 12 and 16 were held in
Geneva, 16 to 27 January 2006
– Co-located NGN Rapporteur meetings were
held in Kobe, Japan, 22 to 27 April 2006
GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications
Highlights of the Kobe NGN-GSI event
• 16 Rapporteur groups of Study Groups 11, 13 and 19 met
• Over 200 contributions• Over 200 delegates from 79 companies and 19
countries• Over 30 draft recommendations progressed of
which 11 are candidates for ‘consent/determination’ at the July 2006 meeting:– NGN R1 requirements– Functional requirements and architecture of the NGN
GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications
– NGN mobility management requirements– IMS for Next Generation Networks– Functional architecture and requirements for resource
and admission control functions– NGN security requirements– PSTN/ISDN evolution to NGN– PSTN/ISDN emulation architecture– PSTN/ISDN emulation and simulation– Call Server based PSTN/ISDN emulation– Tandem free operation (TFO)–IP network interworking
– user plane interworking
GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications
• Future NGN-GSI events so far scheduled are:– July 2006 Study Group and Rapporteur
meetings– October 2006 NGN Rapporteur meetings– January 2007 NGN Rapporteur meetings– April 2007 Study Group and Rapporteur
meetings– September 2007 NGN Rapporteur meetings

be held in Geneva, 23-24 October 2006
GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications
New topics
• The NGN space is expanding. New topics having an impact on NGN include:– RFID– IPTV– Grids
• The scope of the NGN programme will be expanded to include the necessary standards work

Activities of the NGN Management Focus
Group(Provided by Chairman of Study
Group 4)
GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications
NGN Management Focus Group(NGNMFG)
• Established by ITU-T SG 4 in Sept 2004 at FGNGN request to support NGN Release 1
• Involves leaders and other participants of major SDOs, forums, and consortia
• Focused on the following (FCAPS) management interfaces:– Network Element – Management System– Management System – Management System
(FCAPS - Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security Management)
GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications
NGNMFG – Status
• Updating NGN Management Specification Roadmap focused on Release 1 which identifies– Requirements
– Framework, principles, and architecture
– Interface specifications, both protocol-neutral and protocol-specific
• Generic information models latest addition
• Identifying specification “overlaps” and stimulating their owners to harmonize them
• Identifying “gaps” and best organization(s) to fill the gaps
GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications
NGNMFG Harmonization Activity
• Management architecture: SG4, TISPAN, TMF
• Alarm reporting: TMF, 3GPP, SG4, DMTF
• State management: TMF, 3GPP
• Accounting, charging, and billing– At request of NGNMFG/SG4, ATIS TMOC and 3GPP
SA5 proposed application guidelines
• Ethernet management: SG4, MEF, TMF
• Information Models (many SDOs/forums)– 2 fold focus: generic, NGN functions
• XML-based framework and models (many SDOs/forums)
GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications
NGNMFG - Summary• Leadership
– Chair: Dave Sidor (Nortel Networks)– Vice Chair: Leen Mak (Lucent Technologies)
• Participation– Open; individuals from founding organizations encouraged– Registration required: see http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com04/ngn-mfg/index.html
• Time schedule– Roadmap Version 1 submitted to SG 4: September 2005– Roadmap Version 2 to SG 4: May 2006
• Working methods– Decision-making via consensus– Virtual meetings, but f2 f meetings allowed– Any specifications produced are candidates to be SG 4
