VI SUMMARY
I NGN OVERVIEW
 NGN (DEFINITION):-
Next Generation Network (NGN):A packet-based
network able to provide telecommunication services and
able to make use of multiple broadband ,QoS-enabled
transport technologies and in which service-related
functions are independent from underlying
transport-related technologies.

It enables unfettered access for users to networks and

to competing service providers and/or services of their
choice. It supports generalized mobility which will
allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to
users .

BILLS
A CUSTOMER WANTS

A SINGLE INTEGRATED
PLATFORM
In other words “CONVERGENCE” is the
need of the hour.
This requirement of “Convergence”

FEATURES OF
NGN
WHAT COMES NEXT
NGN is characterized by the following
fundamental aspects:-

• Packet-based transfer
• Separation of control functions among bearer capabilities,
call/session, and application/ service
• Independence of service-related functions from underlying
transport technologies
• Broadband capabilities with end-to-end QoS and transparency
• Unrestricted access by users to different service providers
• Generalized mobility
• Converged services between fixed/mobile
 Interworking with legacy networks via open interfaces
 Support for a wide range of services, applications and
mechanisms based on service building blocks (including real
time/ streaming/ non-real time services and multi-media)
 Unified service characteristics for the same service as perceived
by the user
 Decoupling of service provision from network, and provision of
open interfaces;
 Compliant with all regulatory requirements (e.g. emergency,
privacy etc.)
 A variety of identification schemes which can be resolved to IP
addresses for the purposes of routing in IP networks

Access Layer:-
Combines all the access technologies like POTS, ISDN,
GSM/UMTS, HFC, LMDS, ADSL etc.
Connects subscribers (Legacy/IP based), AN & PABX
and trunks from PSTN,ISDN, and PLMN etc.
Converts the format of information (circuit to packet
or packet to circuit) before transmitting it.
Transport Layer:-
 The backbone network and the techniques for
transport. It is IP backbone.
The transport functions provide the connectivity
for all components and physically separated
functions within the NGN.
Control Layer:-
 This layer controls call handling. It comprises of
the equipment that manages signaling (SGW)
and call handling (Media Gateway Controller).
 MGC is also called SOFTSWITCH or Call Server or
Call Agent.
 Service Layer:-
This layer comprises of the equipment that
centralizes the service logic and data. It is also
called as Application Server or Media Server
The service layer provides value-added
services and operation support functions.

 CHARACTERISTICS OF
IV
NGN
Next Generation Networks will for the most part be
high speed packet based networks capable of
delivering a multitude of Broadband services.
Characteristics features Include :-
 PROTOCOL INDEPENDENCE:-
In order to facilitate multiple forms
of communications NGN would be capable of operating
a multitude of different communications protocols.
RELIABILITY:-
Increased dependencies on
advanced applications have made NGN achieve
necessary levels of resilience and reliability to support
more diverse topologies and redundant elements than
is normal in today's network.
 CONTROLLABILITY:-
NGN has the flexibility to be
able to design, adapt and optimize the networks to
accommodate simultaneously different types of media
with varying network requirements. The main concern
here is the quality of service.
 PROGRAMMABILITY:-
The more programmable and
reconfigurable the NGN are the more the ability to
cope with new services and user requirements.It allows
for the traffic engineering and dynamic allocation of
network resources.
 SCALABILTY:-
Scalability is an attribute
that helps protect the NGNs from being
obsolete. It allows for the addition of capacity
without the need to replace equipments.
 APPLICATIONS OF
V
NGN
TELEPRESENCE:-
Telepresence is the ability to
communicate and interact in real time with another person
at a different locations using telecommunications.
Advanced Telepresence Systems operating on NGNs will
enhance users experience of realism in communications.

3D IMAGING:-
Adding three-dimensional aspects
to the imaging systems of Telepresence will further
enhance the experience of Telepresence.Other applications
of it also include in medical and educational fields.
VIRTUAL REALITY:-
It involves
applications of complete Tele-immersion.
However it is possible that applications will
develop that blend reality and virtual reality
forming hybrid realities to enhance our
experience.

DATA AUGMENTATION:-
Augmentation of
data into Telepresence services in many ways
prove helpful in face-to-face communications
that would have files attached to them that
could provide additional information.
TELE-LEARNING:-
NGN Tele-education will
use advanced graphical visualizations tools to
help users understand difficult or abstract topics
and also provide users with an opportunity to
learn in a safe and non-critical environments.

TELE-MEDICINE:-
Tele-medicine will allow
the transfer of records or actual medical
conditions between patients and medical
personnel in geographically diverse locations. It
would also help a great deal in Tele-surgery.
INTERACTION AND ENTERTAINMENT:-
High capacity
applications would will emerge in the areas of
gaming, movies and social interactivity. It
would also support networks to support multi-
player real time use.
Streaming video
and audio entertainment will also be
important applications of NGN. Peer to peer
networking of video, audio and even 3D
virtual realities would also be possible through
Next Generation Networks.
Advantages of NGN
One infrastructure is required.
One backbone for voice and data services
instead of two parallel ones.
No maintenance of proprietary switching
systems.
Fewer call controlling entities in the network so
less capital and operating cost.
Easier configuration of equipment.
Fast advanced and new services deployment is
possible.
Disadvantages of NGN
 Part of the NGN equipment is still under research and
development.
 IP based equipment is deployed mainly in enterprise
networks
major concerns about QoS.
 CPEs require significant investments, if mass deployed.
 NGN solutions are not mature enough - major concerns
about QoS, reliability in case of traffic volumes, similar
to those served by the PSTN.
 Not proven economic benefits.
 Lack of standards - interoperability between different
vendors’ equipment under question mark.
 Difficult integration between NGN equipment and the
existing PSTN infrastructure.
SUMMARY:-
The NGN concept takes into consideration new realities in the
telecommunication industry characterized by factors such as: the need to
converge and optimize the operating networks and the extraordinary
expansion of digital traffic (i.e., increasing demand for new multimedia
services, increasing demand for mobility, etc.).
NGN will give users and devices the ability to communicate and to access
services irrespective of change of location or technical environment. The
degree of service availability may depend on several factors, including
access network capabilities, service level agreements between the user's
home network and visited networks, etc. using a variety of terminal
equipment, with or without service continuity while in transit or while
changing access means. This includes recognition of the need to converge
the previously distinct worlds of fixed and mobile telecommunications into
a coherent whole.
