Today, telephony, the Internet, and the cellular mobile


networks continue to be different domains, each has its own
protocols and services.

NGN Definition

NGN is a packet-based network able to provide


Telecommunication Services to users and able to make use of
multiple broadband, QoS-enabled transport technologies and in
which service-related functions are independent of the
underlying transport-related technologies. It enables unfettered
access for users to networks and to competing service providers
and services of their choice. It supports generalized mobility
which will allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to
users.

NGN Standardization
Problems

Within the NGN concepts the standardization institutions are still


working on the following issues and problems:
• Existing networks migration towards NGN
• Development in the field of access technologies
• Connection of other networks to IP networks
• Provision of services and development of new ones
• Interworking in the area of addressing
• Interworking of signaling systems
• Roaming a mobility

NGN Conceptual Model
Management layer

In the NGN it is required that the network control is not determined


only by the terminal equipment applications, but that the network
intelligence may carry out control over the network at all levels.

Management layer tasks:


 Resource management (capacity, ports, and physical elements)
and QoS in access to the network and the transport network
 Various media processing, encoding, data transfer (information
flows)
 Management of calls and connection. Management and
interworking of all elements of the reference architecture
 Service control

Convergence towards NGN

Today’s network is divided into:


• Public Switched Telephone Network
• Packet Switched Networks (LAN, WAN,…)
• Cellular Mobile Networks

Convergence is the process of interconnection of traditional switched


circuit networks (PSTN and Mobile Networks) and packet-base
networks that use IP (Internet Protocol).

Convergence towards NGN
Evolutional scenarios

Migration scenarios of different types of networks platforms are


based on the idea to integrate TDM (Time Division Multiplexing)
and IP (Internet Protocol) platforms into one converged NGN
platform (from the point of network infrastructure, as well as
services).

NGN Softswitch-Base Architecture
Components

Application
Server

Application server is implemented to perform functionalities specific


to certain service, perform specialized service logic call control, also
includes more functionalities in terms of user web interface, end-
points management, etc. For example it can provide specific
videoconferencing service, Call Center service or IP Centrex service.

Media server provides functionalities allow interaction between


calling party and application using end-point device. It provides
Media Resource Functions (tones detection, speech synthesis and
recognition, compressions, media mixing, etc.) and Media Control
Functions that control of media functions (voice message play
management, conference bridge, fax message management, etc.)
