20 April 2006
09:00 - 10:30 SESSION 1: Opening Session

Chairmen: Yoichi MAEDA (SG15 Chairman) [BIO] & Brian MOORE (SG13 Chairman) [BIO]

Objectives: This session will provide an introduction to the workshop and give an overview of the current developments of NGN related standards. It will also provide experiences of NGN strategic promotion and network deployment experiences in one of the most advanced country on the broadband network services

    • ITU-T SG15 activities on the NGN and its Transport Networks - Yoichi MAEDA (SG 15 Chairman)
      [BIO] [ABSTRACT] [PRESENTATION]
10:30 - 11:00 COFFEE BREAK
11:00 - 12:30 SESSION 2: NGN Architecture and Requirements

Chairman: Naotaka MORITA (SG13 Vice-chairman) [BIO]

Objectives: This session will review and examine service requirements and capabilities of NGN and its architectural aspects which were developed by NGN-related groups such as the FGNGN, TISPAN and OMA. Based on the review and examination of the NGN architecture and requirements, the session will discuss and investigate future issues for the realization of NGN. This investigation will also include discussion on the relationship with transport area like service vs-transport and access vs-core in NGN architecture and requirements.
12:30 - 14:00 LUNCH BREAK
14:00 - 15:30 SESSION 3: Network QoS and Control

Chairman: Neal SEITZ (SG13 Vice-chairman) [BIO]

Objectives: This session will summarize Quality of Service (QoS) and resource control requirements for NGNs, and how those requirements are being addressed in international standards and emerging networks. The session will focus on the “upper layer” controls enabling individual IP packet flows to be established, across IP router networks, among end users and application service providers. It will also explore how upper layer controls may interact with “lower layer” controls enabling aggregate flows to be established, across optical transport networks, among IP router networks operating as OTN clients.
15:30 - 16:00 COFFEE BREAK
16:00 - 18:00 SESSION 4: Transport Network Control (ASON, GMPLS and Control plane management)

Chairman: Steve TROWBRIDGE (SG15 Vice-chairman) [BIO]

Objectives: This session will cover the key control plane technologies that are employed in the evolution to intelligent optical and SDH networks which support the transport layers for Next Generation Networks. Presentations topics include: business drivers for control plane deployment; IETF activities on development of the base protocols; and control plane signaling, routing, and management, including an introduction to the relevant standards.
21 April 2006
09:00 - 10:30 SESSSION 5: Market Opportunities and Challenges

Chairman: Helmut SCHINK (SG13 Vice-chairman) [BIO]

Objectives: NGN provides a number of opportunities for various kinds of businesses. Those include service providers, application providers, transport providers in the access and the backbone. It provides mechanisms to offer services to customers, residential end-users, business users or re-sellers.

Challenges arise from a number of sources like competition, cost of implementation, changing marketplaces, complex migration scenarios and regulatory uncertainties.

This session aims to provide a state-of-the-art overview on global trends with a focus to the Asia-Pacific region from the different perspectives

    [BIO] [ABSTRACT] [PRESENTATION]
10:30 - 11:00 COFFEE BREAK
11:00 - 12:30 SESSION 6: Broadband Access (VDSL access, PON access, Cable access and WiMAX)

Chairman: Andrew NUNN (SG15 Vice-chairman) [BIO]

Objectives: This session will cover some of the access network technologies that are being deployed to support broadband services and which are evolving to support emerging Next Generation Networks. The session will provide an overview of VDSL, Passive Optical Networks, Cable and WiMAX technologies as well as an examination of relevant standards.
