(Continuation of Question 7/13 and Question 12/13) Motivation
The rapid growth and the embedded base of legacy telecommunications networks
have necessitated a strategy of evolution towards integrated multi-service
networks which connect to enterprise and home networks. Due to popularity of the
IPTV and transformation of networks to NGN it has become necessary to include
study of home networks. Thus the focus of this Question will include activities
related to IP television (IPTV) and home networks. This Question will address
items such as:
- determination of how best to carry narrow-band and broadband services of a
fully integrated IP-based network across non-IP based networks (e.g. FR and
ATM);
- description of interworking of services, including definition of protocol
requirements;
- interworking of services between home network operator administered networks.
Recommendations under responsibility of this Question include:
I.500 series, Q.933, Q.933bis, X.36, X.76, X.84, X.142, X.144, X.145, X.146,
X.147, X.148, X.149, X.151, X.272, Y.1400 series, Y.2261, Y.2262 and Y.2271
Question
Study items to be considered include, but are not limited to:
- What enhancements to the existing Recommendations should be made to enable
interworking between the legacy networks and the NGN?
- What new Recommendations should be developed for home networks, including
their ability to support IPTV?
- What new Recommendations should be developed to facilitate greater
interoperability between different networks?
- What enhancements to existing Recommendations are required to provide energy
savings directly or indirectly in information and communication technologies (ICTs)
or in other industries? What enhancements to developing or new Recommendations
are required to provide such energy savings?
Tasks
Tasks include but are not limited to:
- Creation of, maintenance and enhancement to the Recommendations in Y.1400
series

development of new Recommendations as deemed necessary
