1 Core network aspects
Summary
Recommendation ITU-T Y.3001 describes objectives and design goals for future networks (FNs). In order to
differentiate FNs from existing networks, four objectives have been identified: service awareness, data
awareness, environmental awareness, and social and economic awareness. In order to realize these
objectives, twelve design goals have been identified: service diversity, functional flexibility, virtualization of
resources, data access, energy consumption, service universalization, economic incentives, network
management, mobility, optimization, identification, reliability and security. This Recommendation assumes
that the target timeframe for FNs falls approximately between 2015 and 2020. Appendix I describes
technologies elaborated in recent research efforts that are likely to be used as an enabling technology for each
design goal.
