Session 3 Conclusions

1
Session 3Conclusions Recommendations

• Yukio Hiramatsu
• Chairman, ITU-T SG11 (NTT)

2
Presentations in Session 3

• Research and Policy Factors affecting the
  evolution towards NGN / Dr. Paulo de Sousa
• NGN Drivers Access and core Networks, legacy
  services migration issues / Dr. Sathya Rao
• Nomadic users mobility management in next
  generation networks / Mr. Frédéric Delmond
• NGN Research in China / Mr. Jiang lin-tao
  (Written speech)

3
Overview of issues in the session

• NGN IP based, full service (broadband, fixed and
  mobile)
• Various types of access for the last mile (fiber,
  cable, wireless, Ethernet, etc.)
• Service level convergence across different types
  of networks
• Evolution of core and access networks with IP
  based common protocols
• Key technology development for NGN (Photonic
  Net., QoS, Security, Management, Mobility
  management, etc.)
• Policy drivers (e.g., eEurope and the IST
  programme)
• Requirements to support nomadic users (user ID,
  access control, information handling VHE)
  within and across networks

4
Conclusion and recommendations

• Common views expressed in Session 3 (and even
  across sessions) regarding NGN core and access
  trends, convergence between fixed and mobile
  services / architecture / protocols, etc.
• Need to seek for the maximum commonality in (IP
  based) protocols that are to work across
  different types of networking technologies
• Need to define work areas for the ITU-T and to
  develop active and real-time coordination
  framework with relevant SDOs
