Network convergence involves service,core network,access network,terminal,and operation and maintenance convergence. In the future,the converged network’s trend is to use IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) at the core control layer; Internet Protocol/Multiple Protocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS) technology at the core bearer layer; unified and open service provisioning architecture at the service layer; as well as support fixed,mobile,narrowband and broadband access technologies and so on at the access layer. Terminals will evolve to be multi-modular and intelligent,and would finally enable users to access full services anytime and anywhere using one number,one terminal,one account and one core network.展开更多

It is based on the IP bearer network. This article analyzes the features of different bearer modes in the respects of QoS, security and resource utilization. In order to bear NGN, QoS requirements should not be ignored. For this reason, QoS requirements are described from the view of delay, jitter, packet loss rate and bandwidth. At the end of this article, ZTE' s networking solution is given.展开更多

However, many bottlenecks exist in the converged system such as high time delay, high energy consumption, and low data rate. Multi-Radio Cooperation (MRC) technology is specially designed to overcome these bottlenecks and to satisfy the requirements of heterogeneous network convergence. MRC can improve network capacity, reduce the energy consumption of radio devices, and decrease handover latency between heterogeneous networks by the cooperation of multiple radios, and by efficient management and feasible allocation of multi-radio resources. MRC makes real seamless heterogeneous network convergence possible.展开更多

Effective convergence and cooperation of heterogeneous networks can be achieved through Mesh technology. The IP-based convergence integrates common features of heterogeneous networks, while the cooperation coordinates personalities of the networks. By using the convergence and cooperation, a standardized integration of separated and localized predominant capabilities and resources of heterogeneous networks can be fulfilled to enable the evolution into an ubiquitous and omnipotent intelligent network.展开更多

The NASS is responsible for managing the users attached to the access network in terms of user authentication, allocation of the IP address, and location management. In NGN R1, Telecommunications and Internet Converged Services and Protocols for Advanced Networking (TISPAN) studied the internal architecture and external interface protocols of NASS and published the relevant technical specifications. In NGN R2, TISPAN focuses on the study of mobility and nomadism as well as the ability to support various access network architectures. There still remain several issues that need further study.展开更多
