10、formation and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a

11、worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down

12、in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

However, to address the issues of interoperability within an NGN netwo

20、rk, there is a need to identify physical realizations showing which functional entities are implemented in a network component and by implication the interfaces that are important to ensure the interoperability of systems. This document is intended to give guidance on the physical realization of NGN

21、s by describing a number of possible physical entities corresponding to a functional entity or a group of functional entities specified in the generalized functional architecture of NGN. Clause 6 describes the NGN architecture and functions defined in terms of various functional entities and clause

22、7 gives examples of physical components in which these functional entities may be realized. Reference is made to Recommendation ITU-T Q.3900, which describes the mapping of NGN functional entities into physical components for the purpose of defining a model for the testing of NGN equipment and Suppl

31、equipment (CPE). The resource and admission control function (RACF) acts as the arbitrator for resource negotiation and allocation between the service control and transport functions within the NGN architecture. SCFs supporting various NGN services interact with the RACF to provide capabilities for

32、the control of NGN transport resources. Resource reservation, admission control and gate control can be used to provide an appropriate QoS for specific information flows and it is possible to control network address and port translation (NAPT) and firewall traversal. The RACF interacts with transpor

33、t functions to control one or more of the following functionalities in the transport stratum: packet filtering; traffic classification, marking and policing; bandwidth reservation and allocation; prevention of IP address spoofing; NAPT, firewall traversal; and usage metering. Q series Supplement 64

34、(02/2014) 7 Admission control can be performed on the basis of authorization checks based on user profiles, service level agreements (SLAs), operator specific policy rules, and the availability of resources within the access and core transport networks. The RACF also interacts with the NACF to confi

35、gure parameters; perform network access registration, authentication and authorization; and to check user profiles against SLAs. At present, similar services are offered to users on both fixed access networks and on mobile networks. A major feature of NGN is generalized mobility in which services ar

36、e consistently realized to a user independent of network access technology. The mobility management and control functions (MMCFs) support IP-based mobility within the transport stratum. The service stratum comprises SCFs. These are typically registration, authentication and authorization functions a

37、t the service level, session control and resource control coordination. An illustration of how the various services are supported is given in Figure 2. Figure 2 NGN components The service control layer includes IMS support. IMS was initially developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)

38、 for non-voice applications, such as Presence and Push-to-talk, and was then adopted by ETSI TISPAN and the ITU-T as a session control mechanism for voice and other services, such as Internet protocol television (IPTV), in NGN. IMS is extended in NGN to support 8 Q series Supplement 64 (02/2014) add

39、itional access network types such as digital subscriber line (xDSL) and wireless local area network (WLAN). IMS is a system specification based on the use of the session initiation protocol (SIP) defined by the IETF. In addition, SIP user-network interface (UNI) and network-network interface (NNI) s

40、ignalling profiles have been defined to ensure interoperability of equipment at these interfaces. The content delivery functions (CDFs) receive content from the application and service support functions (for IPTV for example) and then store, process, and deliver this content under control of the SCF

41、s to the end-user using the capabilities of the transport functions. Identity management (IdM) is the set of functions and capabilities used for the assurance of identity information (e.g., identifiers, credentials or attributes) and of the identity of an entity (e.g., users/subscribers, groups, use

42、r devices, organizations, network and service providers, network elements and objects, and virtual objects). The NGN functional entities controlling policy, sessions, media, resources, service delivery, security, etc., may be distributed over the infrastructure. When they are physically distributed,

43、 they communicate over open interfaces. Interworking between the NGNs of different operators and between NGNs and existing networks, such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN), integrated services digital network (ISDN) and the global system for mobile communications (GSM), is provided by

44、means of gateways. 6.2 NGN functional architecture The NGN functional architecture is defined in b-ITU-T Y.2012 (2010). Functional entities are described to realize access and core packet transport; network access control, resource and admission control, mobility management; service control and cont

45、ent delivery; application and service support; identity management; charging and end-user CPE capabilities. The functional architecture is dissected and its components described in more detail in the following clauses. 6.2.1 Transport stratum 6.2.1.1 Access and core transport functions The access ne

46、twork includes functions for the connection of user equipment to the network using a variety of technologies (such as cable, xDSL, wireless and optical) and also the aggregation of traffic from a number of users. For example, b-ITU-T Y.Sup6 describes how the DSL technology defined by the DSL Forum (

47、now the Broadband Forum) can be used for NGN access. QoS control mechanisms, such as buffer management, queuing, scheduling, packet filtering, traffic classification, marking, policing and shaping, are supported in the access and core transport sections. The processing functional entities of the tra

48、nsport stratum are shown in Figure 3.
