PRESENT GENERATION NETWORK

Fixed line usage is reducing dramatically

Mobile use is increasing steadily

Broadband Internet deployment shows a

rapid growth trend.

As per a study IP traffic increases 10 fold

every year while voice traffic is relatively
flat.

PRESENT GENERATION NETWORK

Complexity in maintenance-Increased operational expenditure
Difficulty in deployment of new services.
Proprietary protocols between the network entities
resulting into expensive add-ons.
Demand of innovative services from customers

Features of NGN
Packet-based network
QoS-enabled transport technologies
Service-related functions are independent of transportrelated technologies
Offers unrestricted access by users (Open Interface)
Supports generalized mobility - Convergence btw. Fixed &
Mobile
Ubiquitous provision of services to users.

Access Layer
Transport Layer
Control Layer(Soft-Switch)
Service Layer

BSNL

Regional Telecom Training centre

Access Layer
Access Layers is responsible for direct subscriber
attachment function.
NGN is capable of processing traffic originated from
PSTN, GSM, CDMA, xDSL, WiMAX or any other
access system.
Access Layer consists of Gateways.
Trunk Media Gateway, Line Media gateway and
Signaling gateway.

BSNL

Regional Telecom Training centre

Media Gateway
The MG performs the task of packetizing voice and
providing connections from switched circuits (TDM) to
packetized circuits (IP)

BSNL

Regional Telecom Training centre

Functions of Media Gateway

Voice encoding
Packetization of voice channels
CNF (Comfort Noise Generation)
VAD (Voice Activity Detection)
Echo Cancellation

For internal circulation of BSNLonly

Signaling gateway:
The SG should be capable of providing
conversions between SS7 addresses
(point codes) and IP addresses.

BSNL

Regional Telecom Training centre

Transport Layer
Transport Layer forms the core of the
Network.
It basically consists of Routers
Transport Layer of NGN is based on IP/
MPLS.

BSNL

Regional Telecom Training centre

Control Layer
It consists of call servers
NGN may work on soft switch principle.
MGC (Media Gateway Controller)

BSNL

Regional Telecom Training centre

Softswitch (Media gateway controller)

The call handling is performed at the
MGC
The MGC is responsible for controlling
all the MGs within its zone.
The MGC also determines the QoS
required for any one connection at the
MG.
BSNL

Regional Telecom Training centre

Functions of soft switch

Performs Call control, signaling and Interworking
Traffic measurement and recording
functions
Provides Addressing, Analysis, routing and
charging facilities
Interacts with Application Server to supply
services not hosted on Softswitch

BSNL

Service or Application Layer

Enhanced services to the subscribers
will be provided with the help of
application servers.
It may include prepaid servers,
announcement servers, Service servers

BSNL

Regional Telecom Training centre

Functions of Announcement Server

Announcement server performs the function of

giving the announcements as per requirements

in the network

Network Management
System
The Network Management System
(NMS) manages all network elements in
a Soft switch network.
It typically uses SNMP to communicate
with the network elements.

NGN Implementation in BSNL

Migration Strategies:
Two types of migration scenarios could
be foreseen based on
A replacement strategy
An overlay strategy

BSNL

Replacement strategy
It consists of replacing traditional PSTN
equipment by next generation
equipment.

BSNL

Overlay Strategy
With an overlay strategy, the NGN
network will integrate current circuitswitched and packet-switched
technologies
