Terms of Reference for TISPAN WG5
(NGN Home Networking)
TISPAN WG 5 is responsible for:
§
Analysing
possible impacts on the “customer environment” derived from the high level
system requirements for the support of the TISPAN defined services and
capabilities with specific reference to the higher layers. The customer
environment is intended as the customer network composed by customer gateway ,
end user equipment, network segments (physical wired or wireless connections
between customer network elements), network adapters (performing a L1/L2
conversion between different network segments) and nodes (network adapters with
L3 routing capabilities).
The NGN architecture,
procedures, protocols and interfaces already defined by the other WGs will be
considered as the reference starting point to define these detailed requirements
within the customer environment.
§
As a result of
the first activity, define some set of requirements to be applied to the
customer environment elements (customer devices and customer network gateways).
If, based on the evolution of user needs or usage scenarios, modifications of
the existing NGN is foreseen, the WG will forward the specific requirements to
the other WGs having the responsibility of defining specifications for the NGN
architecture, procedures, protocols and interfaces, and for IMS control
platform.
Due to the particularities of
the customer network gateways, other WGs in TISPAN may foresee modifications in
such entity derived from the NGN solutions. Interaction with those working
groups will be sought.
§
Ensuring the
coherence or identifying misalignments with the activities carried out by other
bodies and standardisation fora in the home networking field, identifying and
covering lacks in requirements definition and, on the other hand, avoiding
overlaps.
WG 5 Activities:
-
Define the different types of devices (including
new and legacy devices) and their capabilities used in the customer network
and specify the customer devices and network terminology.
-
Study and define the impact of existing NGN
specifications defined in the other TISPAN groups on the customer devices
and customer networks.
-
Study and define use cases and service
requirements for customer devices and customer networks.
-
Study and define the architecture, reference
points and standardized interfaces within the customer network.
-
Study and identify protocols within customer
networks.
-
Identify possible impact on the NGN network and
indicate these impacts to the other TISPAN groups.
-
Study and define security aspects for the
customer network and customer devices when these are included within the NGN
network in close cooperation with TISPAN WG 7.
-
Study and define QoS aspects in the customer
network.
-
Study and define the impact of the ISIM, UICC in
the NGN customer network (this includes both security and non-security
aspects).
-
Study and define device management aspects.
-
Monitor and influence the work on customer
devices and customer networking in other bodies.
Collaboration with other bodies

has an external relation to them). A possible list of other bodies and
