Resource and admission control function (RACF) is the main part of resource management architecture in next generation networks (NGN). In this paper we analyze the effect of different resource control schemes in RACF architecture on some network performance parameters and show that a dynamic policy for scheme selection will outperform the static one. The dynamic policy results in better resource utilization for Best Effort traffic while providing the required resource for QoS-guaranteed traffic. Likewise, we present some suggestions about service control functions (SCF) and RACF responsibilities so that NGN layers independence will be maintained more than before. This led us to a bit alteration in DIAMETER protocol used between RACF and SCF.
RACF (Resource and admission control function)功能是下一代网络资源管理体系结构的重要组成部分。本文分析了RACF体系结构中不同的资源控制方案对某些网络性能参数的影响,表明动态方案选择策略优于静态方案选择策略。动态策略为Best Effort流量提供了更好的资源利用率,同时为qos保证的流量提供了所需的资源。同样,我们对业务控制功能(SCF)和业务控制功能(RACF)的职责提出了一些建议,以使NGN层的独立性比以前得到更好的维护。这导致我们对RACF和SCF之间使用的DIAMETER协议进行了一些修改。

The architecture and technologies for the next generation networks are well known. The service provision approach is not so clear though. While the telecommunications killer application still remains to be found, new competitors in the new all-IP world threaten the traditional business models of telcos by providing their services directly to the operators' customers. An innovative paradigm has recently come about in the Internet which allows users to create and share their own services from the composition of other services. User-centric service creation environments improve the service offering with profitable, value-added services faster and cheaper than ever before. This paper presents the initial results of a research project that applies the user-centric approach to the creative combination of Web and network services over next generation networks.

Wireless operators in most nations qualify for streamlined regulation when providing telecommunications services and even less government oversight when providing information services, entertainment and electronic publishing. As wireless ventures plan and install next generation networks ("NGNs"), these carriers expect to offer a diverse array of services, including Internet access, substantially free from oversight by National Regulatory Authorities ("NRAs "). Wireless carrier managers reject the need for governments to ensure consumers safeguards such as nondiscriminatory access and separating the sale of handsets from carrier services. This paper will examine the costs and benefits of government-imposed "network neutrality" rules with an eye toward examining the lawfulness and need for such safeguards. The paper concludes that the rising importance of wireless networking for most ICE services and growing consumer disenchantment with carrier-imposed restrictions on handset versatility and wireless network access will trigger closer regulatory scrutiny of the public interest benefits accruing from wireless network neutrality.

The focus of this paper is to indicate some trends in the future organization of standardization in the mobile telecommunication domain. The paper classifies the current standardization activities in the mobile telecommunication domain according to type of organization and scope of work. From this classification some current trends are identified. The classification shows that the key areas of interest for "new standardization activities" are in mobile handsets and other peripheral parts of the infrastructure, while the core infrastructure is handled by the formal standardization organizations. The standardization dynamics is larger the further you come from the core parts of the mobile telecommunication infrastructure. From the current trends the paper makes a trajectory towards NGN standardization and predicts that the formal organizations still will be in charge of the core infrastructure, the access network will see a standards war battle, consortia will develop the services but they will be geographically dispersed, and the functionality of the handset will be standardized according to an ex-post market scenario.

This paper proposes strategic innovations through NGN standardisation to enable the establishment of a consumer-centric business model (CBM) for wireless services. This leads to the evolution of a wireless environment, called here a ubiquitous consumer wireless world (UCWW). In view of the novelty of the concept, the paper focuses on developing the context and argument for the CBM, and the underpinning technological innovations - key new infrastructural entities and functionalities - required for its realisation. The technological innovations proposed may be evolutionary, but considering the potential social, economic and policy impact on wireless communications equipment, service providers and users, the effect may be described as revolutionary.
