We focus on integration of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and wireless local area network (WLAN) environment. However, the transmission capacity difference of two networks causes the seamless mobility, secure connection, and the real-time charging difficulty. Moreover, there are still several problems such as vertical handoff (VHO), security, roaming, quality of service (QoS), accounting, billing and charging. In this paper, we describe service-oriented issues for mobility, security and billing in mobile next generation networks (NGNs). In additional, we propose mobility and charging solutions for integrated system management using a mobility manager (MobiM) and charging manager (CharM) in mobile NGNs. Thus, we solve the problems of seamless mobility and real-time charging in integration of UMTS and WLAN environment.","PeriodicalId":149703,"journal":{"name":"2006 1st IEEE International Workshop on Broadband Convergence Networks","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131997144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NGNM standardisation should develop unified open interfaces for NGN stratum management that are rich in multi-transmission technology and multi-service capabilities and enable lean operations for converged NGN/BcN with unified user experience and presence. This challenge can be met through development of a single open and component-oriented interface specification for managing next-generation networks and services, which is in harmony with key related standards. The layer, which exposes the reference points of such a unified (and universal) NGNM interface, is termed unified management layer (uML) and introduced here. This short paper provides a rationale and a summary of the uML vision. A detailed overview of the novel uML paradigm is available as a full paper [2].

Strassner","doi":"10.1109/BCN.2006.1662295","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/BCN.2006.1662295","url":null,"abstract":"Broadband convergence networks (BCN) is focused on the convergence of not just voice, video and data, but also the convergence of heterogeneous wired and wireless networks and applications into a seamless user experience. This enables a new era of broadcasting, where IP-based telecommunication moves to support high quality, IP- based multimedia broadcasting. While a good amount of effort has been focused on the networking aspect of BCN, much less attention has been paid to its management. Specifically, no real advances on how wired and wireless networks will be operated and managed have been addressed. Instead, only small parts of the problem are being addressed (the IETF has working groups on some technologies; the ITU's FGNGNM (Focus Group on Next Generation Network Management) has not made near the progress that the FGNGN has made). Other standards bodies and fora have also made no significant progress on this issue. Motorola's Seamless Mobility Initiative is very much focused on BCN. This initiative focuses on the easy, uninterrupted access to information, entertainment, communication, monitoring and control, giving the user a sense of being connected anywhere, anytime, to anything, with any service. Indeed, the fundamental goal of seamless mobility is to provide new types of user experience that overcome the limitations of existing technologies, systems and services. Key to this initiative is the ability to make management invisible. That is, Seamless Mobility is about providing the end-user with a compelling, easy-to-use experience; management functions (or, for that matter, any function that detracts the user from that experience) should either be minimized or, preferably, hidden. With respect to BCN, many people define convergence as the ability to provide voice, video and data simultaneously over the same network. BCN is much more complex. In addition to providing new networked services and applications, this really means three different types of convergence: 1) Service convergence: end user accessing the same service using one or more devices through one or more access mechanisms, 2) Device convergence: end user accessing multiple services across multiple access mechanisms through a single device, 3) Network convergence: a unified network realizing multiple services using one or more devices through one or more access mechanisms. Clearly, there can be other types of convergence, including billing and security convergence. This presentation will focus on management convergence - a unified system in which management of the system can be done in a consistent way, independent of devices and protocols. Once management convergence is defined, this presentation will focus on delivering a continuity of experience across multiple spatial domains, devices, network protocols and access modes. It will explore the challenges of moving from a device-centric to a task-centric model, as illustrated by Motorola.","PeriodicalId":149703,"journal":{"name":"2006 1st IEEE International Workshop on Broadband Convergence Networks","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132503401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
