Major accomplishments

• Preparations towards next study period: Study Group 16 did a first pass review of its set of Questions and identified a number of updates to its mandate. In particular, recognition that standardization on e-services has increased in the past four years, and is expected to grow. Overall, ten Questions are under consideration, as continuation or merger of existing Questions, plus needed updates [TD 455R2/Plen]. The final set of Questions and study group mandate updates to be proposed to WTSA-16 will be completed at the next SG16 meeting in May 2016. It has also been recognized that JCA-IPTV and IPTV-GSI have limitations and that a revamped support structure around e-services would better reflect the current scope of work; this idea will be further discussed by correspondence and at the next SG16 meeting.
• Transition core IoT work to new ITU-T SG20: The transition of Question 25/16 to ITU-T SG20 was completed at this meeting. Q25/16 existed in SG16 for eight years and has been working on ubiquitous sensor networks and IoT. At this meeting, it completed work on five IoT Recommendations (list below) and transferred the three remaining open work items (F.IoT-ASF, F.IoT-DE-RA, and F.IoT-SPSN) to its new home, under Question 4/20. A coordination meeting was also held between the management teams of ITU-T SG16 and SG20.
  • ITU-T F.747.8 (ex F.IoT-ASM) "Requirements and reference architecture for audience-selectable media service framework in the IoT environment" (New) [TD 438R1/Plen]
  • ITU-T F.748.2 (ex F.MS-ref ) "Overview and reference model of machine socialization" (New) [TD 435/Plen]
  • ITU-T F.748.3 (ex F.MS-RM) "Relation management models and descriptions for machine socializations" (New) [TD 436R1/Plen]
  • ITU-T F.748.5 (ex F.M2M-RA) "Requirements and reference architecture of M2M service layer" (New) [TD 386/Plen]
  • ITU-T H.623 (ex H.WoT-SA) "Web of things service architecture" (New) [TD 433/Plen]
• ITS: Work on the first vehicular gateway Recommendation has been completed at this meeting: ITU-T F.749.1 (ex H.VG-FAM) defines the functional requirements for vehicle gateways [TD 456/Plen].
• IPTV services: Two new Recommendations were completed: ITU-T H.752 (ex H.IPTV-CPI) defines an interface for multimedia content provisioning in IPTV services [TD 388r1/Plen], and ITU-T H.772 (ex H.IPTV-TDD) has the mechanisms to allow the discovery of IPTV terminal devices in an IPTV system [TD 389r1/Plen].
• Accessible IPTV terminal devices: Working with the community of persons with disabilities, profiles for accessibility features in IPTV terminals have been identified. New Recommendation ITU-T H.702 (ex H.IPTV-AccProf) defines three accessibility profiles for IPTV systems: Basic, Enhanced and Main, in increasing level of support for accessibility features. While the Basic profile allows for an entry level of accessibility features that can be provided by a good number of equipment in the market, it is expected that by 2020 all IPTV sets and set-top boxes in the market would support the Main level [TD 444/Plen].
• Accessibility: This meeting saw completion of four accessibility related texts. In addition to ITU-T H.702, work was completed on long-awaited ITU-T F.791 (ex F.ACC-TERM) on accessibility terminology [TD 449/Plen]. A pair of technical papers provide guidelines on organizing accessible meetings (ITU-T FSTP-AM) [TD 450/Plen] and on how to ensure remote participation is accessible to persons with disabilities (ITU-T FSTP-ACC-REMPART) [TD 451/Plen]. The latter complements the new A-Series Supplement 4 approved by TSAG on the organization of remote participation in meetings.
• E-health: Experts completed the work for the next edition of the Continua Design Guidelines in ITU-T H.810. Approval of these 13 Recommendations is expected before the end of 2015.
  • The text is being split into eight parts for easier use and maintenance, and adds simpler access to device data, additional services that support a better user experience, and an improved framework for remote management. Two new devices are added: Bluetooth LE weighting scale and sleep apnoea breathing therapy equipment [TD 372R1/Plen, TD 379/Plen, TD 373/Plen, TD 374/Plen, TD 375/Plen, TD 376/Plen, TD 377/Plen, TD 378/Plen].
  • A set of five new testing specs is also added, to allow conformance testing of the new features in the 2nd edition of ITU-T H.810 [TD 380/Plen, TD 381/Plen, TD 382/Plen, TD 383/Plen, TD 384/Plen].
  • Additionally, Technical Paper ITU-T HSTP-H810-XCHF was approved, which explains the fundamentals of data exchange within ITU-T H.810 Continua Design Guideline architecture [TD 385/Plen].
• E-health and aviation: In its last meeting, SG16 agreed to start new work on e-quarantine monitoring, following a request from ITU-T FG AC. At this meeting, the first draft was produced, refocusing F.MCDC (ex H.OPVQ) as a framework for in-flight and post-flight precautionary continuous monitoring / control of communicable diseases [TD 448/WP2].
• Digital multimedia transport: Common text ITU-T H.222.0 | ISO/IEC 13818-1 is used in most terrestrial and satellite system for transport of audiovisual content, and it had two amendments and one technical corrigendum Consented. They include Carriage of Layered HEVC (Amd.2) and Carriage of Green Metadata (Amd.3) in MPEG-2 Systems as well as corrects an error in Amd.1 concerning Delivery of Timeline for External data [TD 393/Plen, TD 394/Plen, TD 392/Plen].
• Video coding: A series of updates were Consented at this meeting. One is a minor update to the Emmy Award winning ITU-T H.264 [V10, TD 429/Plen]; revised ITU-T H.264.1 [V6, TD 430/Plen] and H.264.2 [V6, TD 431/Plen] update the tools for its conformance testing. The fourth text, ITU-T H.265.2 contains reference source code for testing the implementation of ITU-T H.265 HEVC codecs [V2, TD 432/Plen].
• Exploration of future video coding technologies: This meeting saw a large number of contributions addressing the next generation of video coding. In order to make this study more efficient, it was agreed to establish a Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET) with MPEG. The informal joint activity will give room to a formal collaboration when enough evidence is gathered to propel the development of a significantly better video codec [TD 403r1/Plen].
• Image coding: Work has been completed for the 2nd edition of ITU-T T.800 | ISO/IEC 15444-1, the base specification for JPEG-2000 image compression. This edition consolidates several texts previously published separately as well as resolves a number of minor issues identified during the text integration process [TD 443/Plen].
• Intelligent question answers: Work was completed on ITU-T F.746.3 (ex H.IQAS) that defines high-level features, requirements and functionality framework for support of an intelligent question answering service [TD 428R3/Plen].
• Home networking: New ITU-T H.622.2 (ex H.VHN) defines service capabilities and a framework needed to establish virtual home networks. A virtual home network extends access to home network services in ubiquitous environments (e.g., using fixed and wireless connectivity), beyond the physical home [TD 437R1/Plen].
• Media gateway protocol: Work on seven new and two revised Recommendations were completed at this meeting, as were updates to three ITU-T Supplements in the media gateway protocol family of Recommendations (list below).
