The modern telecom industry’s operation is based on the use of global standards. Standardization is the culminating phase of the technology value chain. The industry enjoys a plurality of Standards Development Organizations (SDO’s) that range in their scope, mission, and organizational structure. The creation of telecom standards, particularly in core technologies, is fueled by the intellectual power of the global R&D community. A special role in this is played by SDO’s associated with professional societies, such as the IEEE. IEEE and ITU are correspondingly at the root and apogee of the global standardization process. The IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) has over the 50 years of its existence mainly supported scholarly precompetitive research. Now, however, ComSoc is moving towards serving practitioners and industry by also fostering standardization. ITU, on the other hand, has become increasingly aware of the value of academic scholarship in the standardization process. Bringing the intellectual power of the world R&D community into global standardization efforts ensures the best possible quality standards for next generation networks. ITU-T’s Kaleidoscope conference, technically cosponsored by IEEE ComSoc, serves as an important component of this approach.

High-speed switching, QoS provisioning, security, and mobility are main challenges faced with existing networks and to be confronted by NGN researchers and developers. This paper promotes a BSF-OES strategy (Backbone Substrate First, Outwards Expansion Second) towards NGN with a redefined out-of-band concept. In other words, we shall first focus on the backbone subnetwork with an emphasis on building a highly efficient, high-speed switching substrate with embedded QoS and Security mechanisms. An "outwards expansion"from the backbone can take place only when further simplification and refinement to control and management platforms are ready for migration. As an example of the first stage development, a framework of SUPA and its key switching technique called EPFTS are presented and smooth migration issues from Internet to SUPANET are also briefly discussed.

NGN has been on the implementation phase, primarily focused on the replacement of PSTN. NGN carriers try to differentiate NGN from the current Internet for the service quality and reliability. Users of the current Internet, however, expect the early integration of NGN and the Internet, as Internet services have already been deployed into the society and daily life. In this paper, we address the interoperability, management, and security issues for the future integration of NGN and Internet, such as the usage of IPv4 and IPv6 (IPv6 migration), DNS operation, updating end-user equipments and Internet connectivity over NGN. We also propose and evaluate a future model of multi-network connection of NGN networks and the Internet.

Recent technological developments in the e-communications sector have lowered the threshold for users of information and communication technology (ICT) to enter the virtual domains of the Internet and to start playing other roles in society. ICT users have shifted their role from passive receivers of information and media content towards an active role in becoming producers, like in user generated content, or owners of infrastructure components, like in WiFi hotspots. The end user is not 'just' end user anymore. The trend in technological innovations undoubtedly will encourage this role shifting even further. This raises policy issues such as for the governance of privately held components of publicly accessible infrastructures and such as issues of privacy and security in virtual worlds. These policy issues have a decentralized character that escapes formerly successful central policy arrangements. We claim that policy arrangements should explicitly include a role for end user participation and take the role for technology into account. Coordination mechanisms in Open Software Development are presented as a first starting point towards innovative policy arrangements.

Advances in wireless personal area networks have made the practical deployment of various services possible, which until a few years ago was considered extremely costly or labor intensive. We build such a wireless sensor network for precision agriculture where real time data of the climatologieal and other environmental properties are sensed and relayed to a central repository. The architecture comprises of three distinct sections - (a) the sensor-nodes (b) the wireless mesh network and (c) the actuation components. The sensors are selected based on the properties suited for the most common crops and we identify four such attributes. The sensor network is based on the IEEE-802.15.4 standard and we develop a new static routing algorithm suited for the sensing application. The algorithm overrides the deficiency of the Hierarchical Routing scheme inherent in the ZigBee specification where the Csklp addressing algorithm limits the possible depth of the network topology due to address wastage. The new algorithm maintains the hierarchical network topology and thus ensures routing at its optimal best. The algorithms for both addressing and routing are provided. The actuation components are also a part of mesh network and are activated wirelessly for controlling irrigation and fertigation.

During the last decades, the Internet has steadily developed into a mass medium with millions of users. On the one hand, newfangled services replace traditional ones. Naturally, these are thereby expected to offer at least the same features as their classical pendants, e.g., when VoIP replaces traditional fixed line telephone networks. On the other hand, the requirements on network infrastructures and services have changed. A reason for that is the lack of Trust-by-Wire in packet-switched IP networks. In traditional telephone networks, a phone number directly coheres with a physical line. This direct relationship is not given in modern packet-switched IP networks. An IP address does not identify a physical line! This paper presents a new mechanism, which guarantees Trust-by-Wire in packet- switched IP networks -called Internet Protocol-Calling Line Identification Presentation (IPclip). Unambiguous and trustworthy location information is added on the IP level. Firstly, IPclip's general functionality is presented. Secondly, we discuss IPclip in the light of location-aware emergency calls in nomadic VoIP environments.

We have developed an identifier/locator split network architecture that uses separate sets of entities for identifiers and locators in order to eliminate certain problems that will arise if conventional Internet architecture, which uses Internet Protocol addresses as both node identifiers and locators, is used in the new generation network, which will have a very large number of heterogeneous devices. If conventional architecture is used, there will be particular problems in several areas, including mobility and multihoming management, security and privacy, scalable routing, and traffic engineering. In our architecture, identifiers are used in the application and transport layers for identifying nodes, and locators are used in the network layer for locating nodes in the network topology. Nodes can change locators at any time without disrupting ongoing communication sessions, thus supporting efficient mobility and multihoming. The identifiers, which are independent of internetworking technology, are compatible with existing and future locators and routing systems.

Next generation networks (NGN) are envisaged to offer ubiquitous service access to roaming users across network boundaries. However, dynamic network conditions such as link failure, traffic congestion and so on prevailing in the network limits the provisioning of such uninterrupted service guarantee. Since the commercial viability of a network in a competitive market depends on the perceived user satisfaction, to atone for the service discontinuity (otherwise known as the outage loss) some form of compensation ought to be provided. Mathematical models arising from the game theory offer viable solutions for deducing a fair distribution of this compensation among different service types (i.e., flat rate based and volume based). In this paper, we propose a non-cooperative game theory based pricing mechanism that compensates the user by reducing the unit service charge across different subscription classes (i.e., economic, silver and gold). A lossy utility function is utilized to derive the highest amount of cost reduction that the network can accommodate. Governed by the Nash equilibrium points, the fair distribution of this cost reduction among different service types (as demonstrated by simulation results) forms the subject matter of this paper.

Next generation networks will accommodate heterogeneous networks with high level of distribution and complexity. Thus, it will issue new challenges to the operations support system (OSS) architectures. The traditional OSS architectures will no longer be able support the complexity of the NGNs as a result; the redesign of the management architecture is necessary. The Service-Oriented Architecture is the solution to successfully manage the complexity of the NGNs. This paper presents existing management architectures and the concept of the SOA as well as the technologies that enables the SOA. The technologies that enable SOA are presented. Finally, a SOA-based management framework following the logic of the next generation operation support systems (NGOSS) developed in the TM-forum is proposed.

This paper explores the partnership relationship between the telecom service providers and their equipment vendors in the deployment of NGN and the implications for standardization. First, as a "seedbed" and essential background of NGN, we introduce convergence along the value chain. Secondly, we explain the determinants behind the partnership relationship. Thirdly, we observe how telecom service providers and their equipment vendors cooperate with each other as partners in the roadmap communication, architecture and network design and solution testing of NGN. Fourthly, we explore the increasing need for the service providers and their equipment vendors to build a strong partnership in standardization and we believe that their partnership will be continuously based on open standards in the development of NGN.
