Specialist Task Force 303:
Support of Features and Services for Global NGN

Who we are:

Team Leader: Tatiana Kovacikova
Team Members: José María González Calabozo
Jim Price

What we do :

The aim of the STF is to assist and support the production of the relevant documentation in conjunction with the technical working groups of ETSI TISPAN TB, mainly for the TISPAN_NGN Release 2. The Technical Body Management and its relevant Working Groups will provide direction to the STF to ensure that the work carried out is in line with the ongoing activities as identified in the WI and project plan.

The design and support activities are across all TISPAN working groups. The broad areas of work are:

  • The continuing analysis of the current work and strategic direction of relevant Forum and global standards bodies (3GPP, ITU-T, IETF …) in relation to services and network requirements to support ETSI TISPAN as the leading SDO for NGN. (Services and requirements from East Asian and Pacific Rim organisations continue being of interest).
  • Identify and document any features additions or changes that may need to be incorporated into the NGN Release 2 scope
  • Identify and document any additions to the functional requirements
  • Identify and document any numbering, QoS, security and Management related issues.

Read our Terms of Reference

Why we do it:

TISPAN is the ETSI core competence centre for fixed networks and for migration from switched circuit networks to packet-based networks with an architecture that can serve in both.

Several NGN Releases are foreseen. The definition of Release 2 will be progressed during 2006 and will build over Release 1, by adding a number of new features and service capabilities (particularly for corporate networks and to enable content delivery).

Following on the work of TISPAN_NGN Release 1, additional basic services and feature building blocks will need to be created; these include but not limited to:

  • End-to-End resource and QoS control;
  • Nomadicity/user-controlled roaming;
  • Enhanced Presence Management and Location information;
  • Content delivery (e.g. Video-on-demand, video streaming, TV channel distribution).

Support for this work is essential to ensure that NGN feature identified by the marketing and business plans are available in a timely manner.

Time plan for the work:

We intend to complete our work by the end of December 2006.
