TMN and new network architectures

The impact of telecommunication management network (TMN) concepts when applied to the management of newly emerging network architectures is illustrated using the example of intelligent networks (INs). An in-depth comparison of TMN and IN architectural aspects leads to a number of conclusions showing a significant degree of commonality between the two networks. The IN is analyzed as a telecommunication network architecture aimed at reducing service creation and modification development costs and delays. This approach unifies the processing techniques for a number of highly diversified network services. Similarly, the TMN, which covers a wide range of management resources organized into a unique architecture, tends to unify operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM) for complex and evolving communication networks, despite their highly diverse network components

Implementing OSI agent/managers for TMN

The telecommunications management network (TMN) architecture defines a framework for the management of telecommunications networks and services. It is based on a set of TMN standards developed by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T), and is finding increased interest in the telecommunications industry, where rapid development of services and open architectures are in demand. Open systems interconnection (OSI) agent/managers as defined by the OSI systems management standards play a major role in the TMN architecture. However, the complexity of these standards, make the implementation of agent/managers and thus TMN systems a challenging task; methodologies and tools to ease the task of building agent/managers are needed. This article discusses the key difficulties in building OSI agent/managers and presents an architecture and a toolkit that can overcome them. The toolkit automates the generation of code that conforms to TMN and OSI standards, allowing the implementor to focus on the implementation of agent and manager specific components using the facilities provided by the toolkit

IPTV Systems, Standards and Architectures: Part II - IPTV Services over IMS: Architecture and Standardization

This article presents an architecture to support IPTV services in an IMS-based NGN. The architecture extends the current IMS specification with the required functionality to meet additional requirements of IPTV services. The proposed architecture can be deployed by an IPTV provider over heterogeneous access networks (mobile, wireless, and fixed) as a part of standardized NGN solutions. After presenting an overview of the IPTV standardization activities in DVB, ITU-T, ETSI, ATIS, 3GPP, and OMA, this article focuses on the ETSI TISPAN IPTV standardization. IMS-based IPTV architectural functions and possible IPTV evolutionary steps are discussed, and then the article presents an implementation example.     

Q3 object models for the management of exchanges

The article discusses the Q3 object models from ETSI and ITU-T that are applicable to the management of exchanges, with a perspective on relevant standards being developed in the near future and possible new items for standardization. It examines issues to be considered when implementing object models in existing network elements (NEs). Methods are introduced through which the vendor- and operator-specific extensions necessary to control the complete set of functions of an exchange can be based on the existing Q3 models. All Q3 object models have in common that they provide an abstract management view of the exchange while hiding the specific technical implementation from the operator. In principle, this management view can be split into three different functional areas: subscriber management; traffic management; and management of other system internal resources

PHS roaming signaling protocol architecture toward global mobilitynetwork

The network for supporting the global personal communication is called the global mobility network (GLOMONET), where global mobility is guaranteed by coordination between intelligent networks (INs). This paper describes the implementation of a roaming signaling protocol for the personal handy-phone system (PHS) GLOMONET, clarifying the concepts of the PHS architecture regarding the GLOMONET. The PHS is a more economical personal communication system than existing cellular systems, by introducing the concept that the PHS service is provided by the most effective use of the existing ISDN and IN functions, where the majority of network functions to provide ISDN services are commonly used for functions for PHS service provision. The PHS mobility function realized by the IN guarantees flexible and effective roaming service provision for the globalization of future personal communication. The proposed PHS signaling protocol architecture is based on the intelligent network capability set 2 (IN CS2) defined by the International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) Study Group 11 and a visitor location register (VLR) database scheme with efficient signal transfer in the GLOMONET. The PHS specific roaming signaling protocol is defined by the service-independent IN application protocol (INAP). The proposed PHS concepts and roaming signaling protocol were reflected to the national telecommunications standards in the Telecommunication Technical Committee (TTC) and standards in the PHS-memorandum of understanding (MoU)

Beyond IN and UPT-a personal communications support system based onTMN concepts

The vision for future telecommunications is often described by the slogan “information at any time, at any place, in any form”, driven by both society's increasing demand for “universal connectivity” and the technological progress in the area of mobile computing and personal communications. In order to realize this vision, the emerging concept of personal communications support (PCS), which includes support for personal mobility, service personalization, and advanced service interoperability, is becoming increasingly important since it allows users to configure their communications environment in accordance with their individual needs, thereby providing them with controlled access to telecommunication services, regardless of their current location, terminal and network capabilities. This paper provides an overview of a personal communications support system (PCSS). The PCSS represents a platform providing advanced PCS capabilities in a uniform way to numerous communication applications in distributed multimedia environments. From a functional perspective, the PCSS provides enhanced intelligent network (IN) and universal personal telecommunication (UPT) capabilities with respect to user addressing (based on logical names instead of numbers) and advanced user control capabilities. From a design perspective, the centralistic IN/UPT approach to the realization of service logic has been replaced by a highly distributable, object-oriented approach based on X.500/X.700/telecommunications management network (TMN) concepts. This paper addresses the basic aspects of the PCSS, including design criteria, system architecture, supported applications, and evolution issues
