Specialist Task Force 328:
Interoperability Test Specifications for IMS NNI interworking

Who we are:

STF328

Team Leader: Stephan Schulz
Team Members: Marc Courtemanche  
Johan Petersen

What we do :

The STF will produce the following deliverables, for TB approval:

  • DTS/TISPAN-06027-1                                       
    Title: Telecommunications and Internet converged Services and Protocols for Advanced Networking (TISPAN);
    IMS NNI Interworking Test Specifications;
    Part 1: Test Purposes for IMS NNI Interworking
    Scope: To produce a basic set of interoperability test purposes for IMS interworking applicable at the IMS NNI, i.e. at the interface between two IMS networks. The tests will be driven by IMS end-to-end applications such as PoC or Presence
  • DTS/TISPAN-06027-2                                       
    Title: Telecommunications and Internet converged Services and Protocols for Advanced Networking (TISPAN);
    IMS NNI Interworking Test Specifications;
    Part 2: Test Descriptions for IMS NNI Interworking
    Scope: To produce a basic set of interoperability test descriptions
    for IMS interworking applicable at the IMS NNI, i.e. at the interface between two IMS networks. The tests will be driven by IMS end-to-end applications such as PoC or Presence

Why we do it:

IMS is a key component in the TISPAN NGN architecture. Interoperability between different core IMS networks is essential. Currently, no interoperability test specifications exist for the NNI.

TISPAN WG6 has identified an urgent need for interoperability test specifications for IMS NNI. This is confirmed by the Board ad hoc group IMS-TESTBED who have expressed a strong interest in IMS NNI testing but are reluctant to go ahead without some form of test specifications. This STF would fulfil that need.

Time plan for the work:

  • Start of the work 19/02/2007
  • ToC and scope 30/03/2007 TISPAN#13bis
  • First stable draft for TB review 27/04/2007
  • WG6 approval 18/05/2007 TISPAN#13ter
  • TISPAN approval 01/06/2007 TISPAN#14
  • Publication 28/07/2007
