Question 1/13 - Service scenarios, deployment models and migration issues based on convergence services
(Continuation of Question 24/13)
Motivation
The continuing evolution of the telecommunications network and the ongoing convergence between information technologies and telecommunications technologies has created opportunities for new services to be created. It is important that awareness be developed of not only the potential application service (described by service scenarios) that may be developed but also the anticipated operating scenarios and the related implementation models (described by deployment model) as well. This information can be used to assist in planning for the continuing evolution of the network and may possibly even accelerate the availability of commercial products which will rely on the evolved network.
Service scenario is a modelling of service procedure taking into account network technologies within the scope of SG 13. Service scenarios could be designed to enable operators to support key networking environments and build differentiated advantages through business innovation. In each case these scenarios should be initiated from the user point of view. Deployment model is a modelling of service functions taking into account network technologies within the scope of SG 13.
Telecommunication operators have expressed concerns related to their capital investments during this period of ongoing convergence between information technologies and telecommunications technologies. The solutions to effect this transition, i.e., migration plans, should protect as much as possible the operator investments in the existing network infrastructure.
