NGN
ITU-T Recommendation Y.2001 defined NGN as “A packet-based network able to provide telecommunication services and able to make use of multiple broadband, QoS-enabled transport technologies, and in which service-related functions are independent from underlying transport-related technologies. It enables unfettered access for users to networks and to competing service providers and/or services of their choice. It supports generalized mobility which will allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to users.”
From a technology perspective, NGN is based on: a new architecture that modifies both the core and access
parts of a telecommunication network and changes the way it delivers services to end-users.

NGN service stratum: That part of the NGN which provides the user functions that transfer service-related data and the functions that control and manage service resources and network services to enable user services and applications. User services may be implemented by a recursion of multiple service layers within the service stratum.
NGN transport stratum: That part of the NGN which provides the user functions that transfer data and the functions that control and manage transport resources to carry such data between terminating entities. The data so carried may itself be user, control and/or management information. Dynamic or static associations may be established to control and/or manage the information transfer between such entities. An NGN transport stratum is implemented by a recursion of multiple layer networks as described in ITU-T Recommendations G.805 and G.809. From an architectural perspective, each layer in the transport stratum is considered to have its own user, control and management planes.

MIGRATION-EVOLUTION TO NGN
From ITU-T specification Y.2261: PSTN/ISDN Evolution to NGN
“Evolution to NGN: A process in which whole or parts of the existing networks are replaced or upgraded to the corresponding NGN components providing similar or better functionality, while attempting to maintain the services provided by the original network and the possibility of additional capabilities”
Migration to NGN synonymous to evolution to NGNTo help migration of legacy networks to NGN at least voice based services, NGN provides two capabilities.
One of this is “Emulation” which supports provision of PSTN/ISDN service capabilities and interfaces using adaptation to an NGN infrastructure using IP.
The other is “Simulation” which supports provision of PSTN/ISDN-like service capabilities using session control over IP interfaces and infrastructure.
EMULATION/SIMULATION
To help migration of legacy networks to NGN at least voice based services, NGN provides two capabilities:
“Emulation” which supports provision of PSTN/ISDN service capabilities and interfaces using adaptation to an NGN infrastructure using IP.
“Simulation” which supports provision of PSTN/ISDN-like service capabilities using session control over IP interfaces and infrastructure.

Investment is optimized, OPEX is cut NGN architecture leads to satisfactory QoS across multiple interconnected NGN Continuity of services offered to end-users Improvements in network architectures , easy maintenance. Simplification and harmonization of services through single interface/multiple devices Quick time to market for new service
USERS Will benefit from the ability of network operators and service providers to provide guaranteed QoS of voice services
on NGN New services Cost reduction by sourcing voice and data Want to switch between different communication devices
MANUFACTURERS Want to know that currently available terminals are suitable for use with NGN services Confirmation of network architecture suitability will give guidance of the required performance of routers and media
gateways.
REGULATOR Want to have a better assurance that users are not adversely affected as PSTN services migrate to NGN Preserve competition

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
NGN remains the only way to preserve gradually declining revenues
Foster innovation dynamic New services/substitution and service differentiation Market share protection and possible growth Saving on network maintenance, personnel, IT and power
consumption (ITU figures: Network maintenance ~30%, Personnel ~30-40%, IT cost ~40%, Power consumption ~40%)
Network consolidation requires less physical assets (e.g. real estate ~40% saving)
Economies coming from IP
NETWORK OPERATORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, CONTENT DEVELOPERS,
-Business risk-
High investment required: core – justified by cost savings and relatively low risk access –big demand uncertainties, major investment
before demand are clear, type of regulation Simultaneous investment in NGN in fixed and mobile Uncertainty about business model Entrance of third party may diminish incumbent
revenues Technical challenges New legal environment and return of investment
MIGRATION
CORE NETWORK DOMAIN rather easy to set up the migration plan
ACCESS NETWORK DOMAIN complex impact of the service provision not recommended to choose one specific
technology to replace any legacy access network systems
ITU-T RECOMMENDATIONS
Recs Y.2261, Y.2262 and Y.2271 provides some functional guidelines for NGN migration with a focus on emulating existing PSTN/ISDN network
Example scenarios from Rec. Y.2261 Call Server (SoftSwitch) based approach of
the Core network with three variants (scenarios): Scenario 1: Migration starts from Local
Exchanges (LE) Scenario 2: Migration starts from Transit
Exchanges (TE) Scenario 3: One-step approach
26
Scenario 1: Migration from LE
Step 1 Some of the LEs are replaced by Access Gateways (AG) controlled by a Call
Server (CS). Access elements originally connected to the removed LEs, are now directly
connected to AGs : PABXs and Access Nodes (AN). User Access Modules Functionality (UAM) assumed by AG and CS. Trunking Media Gateways (TMG) and Signaling Gateways (SG) are deployed
for interconnection between the PSN and the TEs of the legacy network as well as other operators' PSTNs/ISDNs.
AGs and TMGs are all controlled by the CS.
Step 2 Remaining LEs are replaced by the AGs, Transit Exchanges (TE)s are removed and their control functions are
performed by CS. TMGs and SGs are deployed for interconnection between PSTN and other
operators' PSTNs/ISDNs. AGs and TMGs are all controlled by the CS.

Scenario 3: One-Step Approach
LEs are replaced by the AGs and their functions are transferred to the AGs and the CS.
All access elements such as user access modules (UAMs), remote user access modules (RUAMs), and private automatic branch exchanges (PABXs) are connected to access gateways (AGs).
The access networks (ANs) are either replaced by the access gateways (AGs) or are connected to packet based network (PBN) through the AGs.
Transit gateways (TMGs) under the control of the call server (CS), and the signalling gateways (SGs), are deployed to replace the TE functions and provide interconnection between PSN and other operators’ PSTNs/ISDNs.

MIGRATION SCENARIOS
Using emulation and/or simulation of NGN, there are various ways of migration from legacy network to NGN. This should be decided according to the each country or provider situation.

•NGN emulation will widely use to support voice oriented services but keeping the legacy terminal such as black phone. So end user could not recognize the change of technology behind their terminal.•Useful in the case of country or operator who does not have enough PSTN/ISDN infrastructures, so it is already lack of connectivity to support voice services
Mixed Scenario
•Uses both overlay and emulation, so at the beginning some of PSTN user connection will replace by NGN emulation while other PSTB users will keep their PSTN connections•Useful in the case of country or operator who place in the middle stage which means some parts of PSTN/ISDN need to replacement but other parts of PSTN/ISDN still good status such as well stable or with new PSTN/ISDN infrastructure

ITU-D Guidelines for Migration of Existing Networks to NGN for Developing Countries-
A vast majority of developing countries are aware of NGN migration and the challenge it raises;
Many countries already introduced some components of NGN architecture within their networks like VoIP with softswitches or the introductrion of national IP backbones; some have even migrated a significant part of their legacy voice architecture to NGN;
Still, what characterizes many developing countries is the lack of Broadband access – especially in its wireline form (DSL, Fiber,…) – with respect to developed countries;
Lack of Broadband access results in marginal if inexistent use of new NGN services – like IPTV and multimedia communication – in many developing countries;
Many developing countries also view the new NGN architecture as being complex with competing standard bodies (3GPP, TISPAN, ITU,…) and fear that this

Developing countries
Developing countries should be encourage to take a part in international effort to develop best migration path to NGN.
Mr. Roberto Viola, General Director of the Italian Regulator (AGCOM)
“If we wait for private capital to flow in the direction of NGN we might wait in certain parts of Europe for decades. The question that rises is whether you should wait for the car makers to build the highways. Telecom operators might for example leverage from regional governments and municipalities investing in optical fibers and other basic infrastructures”. (EETT NEWSLETTER, ISSUE Ν° 17 \ JULY 2008)
