1. Overview of NGN Focus Group
NGN Focus Group
• ITU-T Director launched NGN Focus Group at June 2004 • Almost every two month meeting : 6, 7, 9, 11/2004 and 3, 5, 7, 9, 11/2005 • ITU-T SG13 (NGN SG) became parent group of FGNGN (WTSA 2004) • Could be finished Release 1 and closed FGNGN end of 2005 • Results and Remaining works will be transferred to SGs by SG13

2. Key Features of ITU-T NGN
Definition of NGN
Next Generation Network (NGN): a packet-based network able to provide telecommunication services and able to make use of multiple broadband, QoS-enabled transport technologies and in which service-related functions are independent from underlying transport-related technologies. It enables unfettered access for users to networks and to competing service providers and/or services of their choice. It supports generalized mobility which will allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to users.

2. Key Features of ITU-T NGN
Key Features of NGN
Packet-based transfer; Separation of control functions among BC, call/session, and application/ service; Decoupling of service provision from transport; Support for a wide range of services based on service building blocks; Broadband capabilities with end-to-end QoS; Interworking with legacy networks via open interfaces; Generalized mobility; Unfettered access by users to different service providers; A variety of identification schemes; Unified service characteristics for the same service as perceived by the user; Converged services between fixed/mobile; Independence of service-related functions from underlying transport technologies; Support of multiple last mile technologies; Compliant with all regulatory requirements (e.g. emergency, privacy, lawful interception, etc.)

4. Vision of ITU-T NGN
Technical development
1) Architecture Point of view - Incorporation of fixed network requirements into IMS based architecture - Combination with Optic based Architecture - Develop Fixed-Mobile and Telecom-Broadcasting convergence model 2) Control and Protocol aspects - Identify and develop of protocols to meet NGN control mechanism - NGN signaling for NGN services or use/updates of SIP - Control capabilities to support billing and charging 3) QoS aspects - Interconnection requirements for supporting End-End QoS services - QoS parameter mappings among different standards - Extension of Session Control Protocols 4) Evolution and Interworking aspects - Evolution scenarios from CGN to NGN - Interworking requirements and specification for IWF - Identify protocols for interworking 5) Security aspects - SIP hop-by-hop (vs. end-to-end) security - Firewall traversal - Security management and controls

4. Vision of ITU-T NGN
Standards for Near Generation, not Next
NGN stands for Next Generation, but targeted for Near Generation NGN could be value added framework for all players : Users, Operators, Providers and Regulators etc. NGN could be evolved from Current Generation Network NGN could be basement for making convergence world (real Telecommunication World) NGN Standards could be Globalize rather than Localize boosting global village and shorten digital divide ITU-T could be centre of NGN standards
