Why NGN?
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 also aims to tackle important concerns raised from the use of current IP-based services: (i.e. QoS and security)

JRG-NGN
³Joint Rapporteur Group on NGN´
Formed by experts from across all relevant Questions of Study Group 13 Key topics: NGN requirements, the general reference model, functional requirements and architecture of the NGN, evolution to NGN Outputs: SG 13 approved two fundamental Recommendations: 1. Y.2001: ³General overview of NGN´ 2. Y. 2011: ³General principles and general reference model for next generation networks´ and transferred the remaining work to FG-NGN (11 draft texts)

Definition of NGN: Y.2001
ITUITU-T SG 13: Rec. Y.2001
A NGN is a packet-based network able to provide packettelecommunication services and able to make use of multiple broadband, QoS-enabled transport QoStechnologies and in which service-related functions serviceare independent from underlying transport-related transporttechnologies. 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.

Definition of NGN: Y.2001
(2/2)
NGN is characterized by the following fundamental aspects:
Packet-based transfer; Packet Separation of control functions among bearer capabilities, call/session, and application/ service; Independence of service-related functions from underlying transport technologies; service Broadband capabilities with end-to-end QoS and transparency; end-to 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 multinonmultimedia) Unified service characteristics for the same service as perceived by the user; Compliant with all regulatory requirements (e.g. emergency, privacy etc.) Decoupling of service provision from network, and provision of open interfaces; A variety of identification schemes which can be resolved to IP addresses for the purposes of routing in IP networks
