Specifically, transport MPLS (T-MPLS) is taken as the transport technology in Carrier Ethernet. It begins with providing an overview of the evolving architecture of the next generation network (NGN). As an essential candidate among the NGN transport technologies, the definition of Carrier Ethernet (CE) is also introduced here. The second part of this paper depicts the contribution on the T-MPLS based Carrier Ethernet network with control plane based on NGN architecture. The approaches to QoS mapping, label distribution and connection and admission control (CAC) are specified here. At last, a simple T-MPLS based Carrier Ethernet network model with three kinds of users (VoIP, VoD and HTTP) and a RACE based control module is simulated in OPNET. The model is aiming at illustrating the improvement of the Carrier Ethernet network with the NGN control plane.","PeriodicalId":417810,"journal":{"name":"2008 First ITU-T Kaleidoscope Academic Conference - Innovations in NGN: Future Network and Services","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133129033","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}

A fair number of the residents make part of or their entire real world living by running business on Second Life. Communications in this vast digital continent happen between avatars and make use of web facilities. Leveraging context aware capabilities such as presence, location, identity, anchored in the real world opens monetizing opportunities for the service providers. Services on the real word were mashed with Second Life used here as a typical example of a 3D virtual world. The authors present in this paper how the integration of these two worlds was achieved. This integration leveraged rapid application prototyping, development and deployment and brings the potential of a dramatic reduction in service lifecycle costs.","PeriodicalId":417810,"journal":{"name":"2008 First ITU-T Kaleidoscope Academic Conference - Innovations in NGN: Future Network and Services","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125946289","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}

The NGN players, although use different terms for NGN, they share many of the same basic concepts in their visions for tomorrow's carrier infrastructure. In this paper we have introduced a pilot for interoperability basic call tests in next generation networks (NGN) and the results of that pilot deployment and testing are presented and analyzed. These results are based on test scenarios provided by four NGN vendors namely: Alcatel, Huawei, Siemens and ZTE. These vendors intended to demonstrate their solutions in a multi-vendor environment for Softswitch based NGN deployment that is suitable for class4 and class5 switches replacement. They had participated in an interoperability test environment for basic call and supplementary services.","PeriodicalId":417810,"journal":{"name":"2008 First ITU-T Kaleidoscope Academic Conference - Innovations in NGN: Future Network and Services","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122278057","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}

The location information is one of the most important and frequently-used contexts in ubiquitous networking. However, a system can use the changes of location to adapt its behavior, such as computation and communication, without the user intervention. In this paper we introduce a Bayesian sensor framework for solving the location estimation errors problem in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) environments. In our model the physical properties of the signal propagation are not taken into account directly. Instead, the location estimation is regarded as machine learning problem in which the task is to model how the location estimation error is distributed indoors based on a sample of measurements collected at several known locations and stored in RFID tags. Results obtained by simulations demonstrate the suitability of the proposed model to provide high performance level in terms of accuracy and scalability.","PeriodicalId":417810,"journal":{"name":"2008 First ITU-T Kaleidoscope Academic Conference - Innovations in NGN: Future Network and Services","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131082992","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}

Optical wireless communication (OWC) systems will play an important role as alternative broadband access technology in the emerging NGNs. We have developed a revolutionaiy new full-optical wireless communication (F- OWC) system which operates by directly propagating an optical beam from a fiber termination point through free-space using a F-OWC transceiver. At the receiving end a corresponding transceiver directly couples the free-space propagated optical beam into an optical fiber connection port. In this paper we present the design concept and highlights of this new F-OWC system utilizing an innovative technology for seamless coupling a free-space propagated optical beam to a fiber. Experimental results, based on a prototype system, demonstrate that the system is capable of offering stable, error-free transmission at multiple giga-bit per second data rates over extended periods of time.","PeriodicalId":417810,"journal":{"name":"2008 First ITU-T Kaleidoscope Academic Conference - Innovations in NGN: Future Network and Services","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129020317","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}

Firstly, we make a definition of invariant communication qualities in bullet trains, which are not dependent on each measurement. Then we propose a two buffer model-based QoS estimation method for the link qualities of commercial 3G wireless IP networks, even though the radio link is a black box to users and the protocol is proprietary. Finally, using this estimation method, we measured the raw packet transmission characteristics of CDMA2000 1timesEV-DO in bullet trains.","PeriodicalId":417810,"journal":{"name":"2008 First ITU-T Kaleidoscope Academic Conference - Innovations in NGN: Future Network and Services","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131299786","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}

Mobility is a fundamental characteristic of convergent and heterogeneous networks, like IMS architecture, which is an implementation of next generation networks (NGN). 3GPP specifications do not mention anything about the protocol and the methods used to integrate the functional entities of VCC service that are distributed through CS domain and IMS.
