The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), already widely recognized as a fundamental core component of Next Generation Networks (NGNs),
enables proliferation of a huge variety of value added services. Simultaneous to the emergence of triple play services there
is a strong need for establishing standardized methodologies for service fulfillment and assurance, maintaining service execution
parameters at advertised levels. Traditional Operations Support Systems (OSS) are not adequate for managing NGNs. This work
shows experiences gained from implementing OSS for NGNs. It describes a solution that combines extensive NGN development expertise
with a new generation, of policy-based, service oriented OSS solutions in order to provide enhanced levels of automation and
reliability to the NGN service delivery and session control environment. Primary focus of this approach is put on service
assurance and service fulfillment mechanisms for remote monitoring, automated control and configuration of standard compliant
IMS infrastructures, such as the Open Source IMS Core (OSIMS) based Open IMS Playground. This work describes state of the
art NGN OSS design principles and knowledge attained by integration of standardized fault management as well as service and
subscriber provisioning procedures showing how the full cycle from service deployment to service advertisement to service
execution can be delivered in an automated way.

The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) seems to be the technology that will prevail in Next Generation Networks (NGNs), since the interworking environment and the service flexibility that this technology offers to the currently deployed wireless broadband technologies makes it appealing to users, service developers and network operators. In this paper we propose a heterogeneous network model based on the IMS that integrates the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technologies and provides guaranteed QoS. We present the complete signalling flow concerning the authorization, registration, session set up and vertical handoff processes, as well as, an analytic model for cost analysis of the proposed architecture. 相似文献

This paper presents state-of-the-art research efforts in implementing a Policy Based architecture for Quality of Service management
and provisioning of network services in the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). While Policy Based Network Management has been
adopted by the Third Generation Partnership Project and the Telecoms & Internet converged Services & Protocols for Advanced
Networks as the solution for managing QoS in the IMS, the proposed mechanisms are sorely lacking in many aspects. First, the
policy logic and decision mechanism are not specified, nor is the actual resource allocation procedure. Second, while the
IMS is being tailored as the Service Delivery Platform for Next Generation Networks many of the QoS provisioning solutions
are designed specifically for UMTS as an access network and need to be enhanced to support other technologies. In the current
specifications, 3GPP is already evolving to support Packet Cable, WLAN and WiMAX accesses, but their respective policy-related
sections are still void. Furthermore the proposed solutions do not specify how the network processes user requests for services
in the IMS infrastructure. This article analyses critical QoS management issues within the IMS, and proposes solutions by
designing a Policy Decision Function, which is the central element in the policy architecture. These solutions are presented
in a proof of concept implementation running in a real IMS testbed making use of the Open Source IMS Core and considering
the management of QoS in different scenarios.

International standard bodies such as the Parlay Group, 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project), and ETSI TISPAN describe an applications middleware in the form of open service access (OSA)/Parlay Application Programming Interfaces and Parlay X Web Services which allow multimedia applications to be implemented on top of different fixed and mobile network types. These established middleware services are also applicable to the new IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) forming the heart of emerging next generation networks. The main objective of this kind of middleware services is to simplify and unify service creation and – as applications are realized in so-called application servers which can be flexibly connected to dedicated network gateways – also to expose available network capabilities to third parties. This results in an inherent increase of security threats and increases the risk of attacks on network resources. This article describes the security requirements and challenges to Web services-based NGN middleware. Based on this analysis the paper presents the middleware security mechanisms at application level providing end-to-end security based on standard such as XML Digital Signatures, XML Encryption and SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language). Furthermore, we propose additional security means in the form of intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) system protecting applications middleware against SQL injection attacks which are not mitigated by existing solutions. 相似文献

QoS Control for NGN: A Survey of Techniques 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This article presents an overview of standards and a survey of recent work on quality of service (QoS) control of next generation
networks (NGNs). We outline primarily standardized QoS control architectures with respect to the service and transport strata
of NGN. In the service stratum, QoS parameter negotiation using core IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) procedures is described.
In the transport stratum, the resource control and admission schemes of IMS (3GPP), resource admission control function (ITU-T),
and resource access control system (ETSI/TISPAN) are explained and compared with each other in terms of QoS coverage and number
of required signaling messages. In addition, we give a survey of papers on QoS control architectures, which further strengthen
existing standards by adaptively managing QoS modification according to user’s QoS changes and consistent QoS support for
mobile users. Finally, we conclude this article with a discussion of further work of the QoS control for NGN. 相似文献

The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) adopted in the core of Next Generation Networks (NGNs) promises to make network management
easier by separating the control and the transport planes. Therefore, an interface between applications and the underlying
transport network has been defined that offers a dynamic and efficient management of network resources based on a policy-based
resource control engine. The resulting resource management framework enables the delivery of both the existing carrier grade
existing and the next generation Quality of Service (QoS) sensitive services across operator-controlled networks using heterogeneous
transport technologies. This review sheds some light into the policy control layer concept and the extended nomenclature introduced
by current standardization works. The approaches of international standards development organizations, such as the Third Generation
Partnership Project (3GPP), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the European Telecommunications Standards Institute
(ETSI), the WiMAX Forum, and CableLabs are reviewed and compared with each other revealing the common architectural trend.
Challenges and works in progress of NGN resource management towards Fixed and Mobile Convergence (FMC) are discussed as well.

Adaptive IPTV services based on a novel IP Multimedia Subsystem 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Heterogeneous communication devices are emerging and changing the way of communication. Innovative multimedia applications
are now accessible through these embedded systems. The 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) provides a basic architecture framework
for the Next Generation Network (NGN) supporting the convergence platform for service provisioning in heterogeneous networks.
ETSI TISPAN standardization effort focuses on delivering IPTV services on such platform. Nevertheless, IPTV on IMS standardization
suffers from a lack of efficient user-centric network management mechanisms as the end-user may consume IPTV service from
different access networks, on different mobile devices, at anytime. User’s Perceived Quality of Service (PQoS) or Quality
of Experience (QoE) of IPTV service may also suffer from wireless access network impairments. This paper introduces new functionalities
in IPTV over IMS architecture which optimize satisfaction of the end-user and resource utilization of the operator’s networks.
A context-sensitive User Profile (UP) model is used to deliver IPTV streams adapted to the user’s environment. In order to
optimize the operator network usage, the impact of spatiotemporal dynamics of the video content on the deduced perceptual
quality is considered. A Multimedia Content Management System (MCMS) is proposed to perform dynamic cross-layer adaptation
of the IPTV stream based on PQoS measurements at the end-user side. 相似文献

Next Generation Networks (NGN) provide Telecommunications operators with the possibility to share their resources and infrastructure, facilitate the interoperability with other networks, and simplify and unify the management, operation and maintenance of service offerings, thus enabling the fast and cost-effective creation of new personal, broadband ubiquitous services. Unfortunately, service creation over NGN is far from the success of service creation in the Web, especially when it comes to Web 2.0. This paper presents a novel approach to service creation and delivery, with a platform that opens to non-technically skilled users the possibility to create, manage and share their own convergent (NGN-based and Web-based) services. To this end, the business approach to user-generated services is analyzed and the technological bases supporting the proposal are explained. 相似文献

In the last few years telco providers are striving to migrate their services from the traditional Public Switch Telephone
Network to so called Next Generation Networks (NGNs) based on standard IP connectivity. This switch is expected to produce
a cost degression of 50% for CAPital EXpenditure, while OPerating EXpences remains fairly stable due to network management
and energy costs. At the same time, the instantiation of new telco services (Voice over IP, video conferencing, etc.) and
the support of third party applications (such as support to smartphone applications, etc.) are expected to produce a big increase
of the load of a telco provider at the core level. The goal of this work is to show how management and energy costs can be
effectively reduced by leveraging autonomic approaches to move some NGN services toward the telco network edge while still
providing Quality of Service (QoS) levels comparable with those provided by a traditional fully-managed infrastructure. This
is done by taking into consideration the increase of the load of such services that is expected to raise by one order of magnitude
in the near future. Specifically, we propose a hybrid architecture letting telco administrators reduce the number of servers
in the provider managed network by exploiting home devices in the computation and by organizing them in a self-configuring
Peer to Peer system; in this way it is possible to reduce the overall system and operational costs. Our claims are supported
by an experimental study based on both simulations and theoretical models that analyze the trade-off between the number of
servers and home devices in order to guarantee a service within QoS constraints. Experiments are carried out on a realistic
model that abstracts the lookup procedures within the NGN of a big telco provider (i.e., finding the IP address of a given
unique user profile). 相似文献

独立媒体服务(IMS)是第三代合作伙伴计划(3GPP)在版本5中提出的支持IP多媒体业务的子系统,而基于文本的SIP消息过大成为其在IMS无线环境应用下的瓶颈,因此采用会话初始化协议(SIP)来建立和维护多媒体会话。在SigComp框架下,将改进后的LZSS算法与算术编码相结合对SIP信令进行压缩。实验表明新的算法有较高的压缩率,对改善IMS的SIP会话建立延时有一定的参考价值。 相似文献

Composite software as a service (SaaS)-based SOA offers opportunities for enterprises to offer value-added services. The cornerstone for such a business is service level agreements between Cloud customers and Cloud providers. In spite of the hype surrounding composite SaaS, standardized methods that enable a reliable management of service level agreements starting from the SLA derivation from the customer requirements to the SLA establishment between the two stockholders are still missing. To overcome such a drawback, we propose a method for SLA establishment guided by QoS for composite SaaS. Our method provides: (1) a requirement specification language for the Cloud customer to define the composition schemas of the requested services along with its QoS constraints; (2) a Cloud provider offer specification language and method to help in identifying the services and resources that satisfy the customer requirements; and (3) an SLA document definition language and method to specify a deployable composite SaaS on the Cloud. Our approach for SLA establishment embraces model-driven architecture principles to automate the SLA document generation from the customer requirements document. The automation is handled through model transformations along with enrichment algorithms to ensure the generation of complete SLA documents. 相似文献
