Summary

Supplement 13 to ITU-T Y-series Recommendations describes various scenarios for the evolution of NGNs to enhance network capabilities by introducing new technologies and new business models.

The following enhanced capabilities of NGNs are considered: information delivery, information storage and information processing. These enhanced capabilities can bring new services for the end‑user and better performance for the NGN itself.

Some key use cases of the enhanced network capabilities are introduced from different perspectives: enhanced capability itself, provisioning of the enhanced capability and consumption of the enhanced capability.
