4 Introduction
The present document defines the generic QoS concepts for NGN and provides a QoS Framework Model. The present document is release independent. TISPAN deliverables which have a bearing on QoS should indicate, which QoS requirements are met for each release. The QoS requirements include QoS classes, codecs, QoS control m...

5.1 QoS and Network Performance
The distinction between QoS and Network Performance, as well as the various viewpoints of QoS, are illustrated in ITU-T Recommendation G.1000 [1]. The end-to-end service as well as a number of in-network services have QoS requirements. These must be fulfilled by the network in order to meet the QoS requirements. In ter...

5.2 Performance objectives
The NGN performance objectives should be based on the ITU-T Recommendation M.2301 [3]. This recommendation provides performance objectives and procedures for provisioning and maintenance of IP networks owned by different operators. This is regardless of the transport technology supporting the IP network and the higher ...

5.3 End-to-end and bearer QoS
The standardization work traditionally distinguishes between tele-services, which operated across terminals and networks (e.g. mouth-ear for voice) and bearer services that excluded terminals (from UNI to UNI). In an opened and deregulated market, it is not always possible to control the user's domestic installation. P...

5.4 Guaranteed and relative QoS
NGN shall support the development of two different models of service assurance: guaranteed and relative QoS. Guaranteed QoS: This term refers to a traffic delivery service with numerical bounds on some or all of the QoS parameters. These bounds may be physical limits, or enforced limits such as those encountered throug...

6.1 Framework Model
In order to provide a global and homogenous view of functions needed to support end-to-end services in NGN, a framework model is useful. This model should allow the possibility to identify the different processes and functions implied in QoS both in service and transport stratum. This model is not an architecture model...

6.1.1 Processes
Processes are related to the service lifecycle. They structure actions undertaken by providers in answer to customers' requests. The proposed processes are the following: 1) Subscription/Provisioning: this process deals with actions that follow customers' subscriptions: customer care (contracts, customer profiles), dim...

6.1.2 Levels
Each process is divided into two parts: Services Processing and Resources Processing, each comprising of three levels. The proposed levels are the following: 1) Service Mediation or Front Office: this optional level is intermediary between the customer and service offers. It manages catalogues of service providers, for...

7 NGN QoS Requirements
The TISPAN_NGN should be able to support a wide range of QoS-enabled services. To offer these QoS services, it is necessary to define QoS Control mechanisms, QoS Control Architecture and Control mechanisms and QoS Control Signalling. The present document is release independent. TISPAN deliverables which have a bearing ...

Table 1 illustrates the ITU-T Recommendation Y.1541 [5] QoS classes and associated network performance objectives These specifications apply between user-network interfaces that delimit end-to-end IP flows.

8.3.1 Context
The mapping between ITU-T Recommendation Y.1541 [5] and TS 123 107 [6] QoS Classes proposed in this clause is intended to allow both sets of Classes to be implemented in NGNs as they are. Modification and/or alignment of these two standards is not practicable so a mapping may be necessary for interworking purposes. The...

8.3.2 Hypothesis
This clause describes a QoS mapping (in each direction) between two networks: a 3GPP network providing UMTS service in accordance with the TS 123 107 QoS classes and bearer service attributes, and an IP network supporting assured-quality IP flows in accordance with ITU-T Recommendation Y.1541 [5]. For simplicity, the U...

8.3.3 Y.1541 to TS 123 107
The QoS translator maps Y.1541 class 0 to the UMTS conversational class, selecting the 10-4 value for the SDU error ratio attribute. The UMTS SDU transfer delay value (100 ms maximum) may or may not meet the example objective for the UMTS network portion (50 ms mean), depending on the SDU transfer delay distribution. T...

8.3.4. TS 123 107 to Y.1541
The mapping from UMTS QoS classes to Y.1541 QoS classes essentially reverses that described in previous clause. The UMTS conversational class is mapped to Y.1541 class 0. The UMTS streaming class is mapped to Y.1541 class 1. The UMTS interactive class can be mapped to Y.1541 class 2, 3 or 4 depending on the specified t...

8.3.5 Limitations
The most problematic limitation for this mapping is the transfer delay. Transfer delay specifications are not translatable between the two recommendations as ITU-T Recommendation Y.1541 [5] specifies IPTD as a mean value, while TS 123 107 [6] specifies SDU transfer delay as a maximum. IPDV cannot currently be limited e...

9 Codecs
As the NGN should be open to the different networks (PSTN, UMTS, IP Network), the following principles define the use of audio and video codecs: 1) The NGN should support different types of codecs. It is recognized that some codecs play an important role in existing and emerging networks for audio and video services. E...

10 QoS Scenarios
In NGN, different QoS control mechanisms could be used, corresponding to different technologies and possibly different business models. Those QoS support mechanisms have a strong influence on the architecture that may be needed to provide them. As a matter of fact, there exists several different alternatives, depending...
