To suit this trend, there will be three provision modes as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server, Open Service Access (OSA) application server and intelligent network(IN) in Next Generation Network (NGN), provides all kinds of services and applications to the subscribers. With the popularity of broadband access and Internet, the NGN will provide single telecommunication service and act as the important national infrastructure to offer various information services to the subscribers. The service provision mode will be more open, diversified, and individualized.展开更多

During the transformation, they should be concerned about the network user number and the network quality as well as the value added network information. The low threshold for service provision brings a new breed of service providers, which impacts upon the current regulation policy. To adapt to the development of the NGN, it is a necessity to improve the regulation policy in terms of service operators management, user management, Quality of Service (QoS) assurance, service monitoring, charging, and settlement. Meanwhile, regulatory authorities should establish a new body as quickly as possible to meet the trend of the NGN convergence. The new regulatory body would be responsible for regulating operators who will be awarded full-service licenses, and managing new service providers effectively to guarantee the user’s interests.展开更多

In this paper, a new forwarding address suitable for next generation networks named the vector address （VA） is proposed which is different from the forwarding address coding methods of current networks. The characteristics of the VA are analyzed. Complex network theory and a theoretical analysis method are introduced to study the average address length of the VA when used to construct a global network Simulation experiments in a practical network topology model are carried out to validate the results. The results show that not only can the VA construct a simpler, more secure, and more scalable network, but it also can accommodate many more users than an Internet Protocol （IP） network with the same address length.展开更多

The strongpoint of quota-based algorithm had been inherited in the algorithm and at the same time some new ideas had also been introduced into it. Simulations of the algorithm had been conducted on the Petri net model and the results show that this algorithm has excellent performance. In order to find the optimal resource quota set- ting in real time, the paper proposed two approximation analysis methods. It can be seen from analysis results that these two methods can be used to get sub-optimal quota values quickly and effectively. These two ap- proximation analysis methods will play important roles in implementation of the algorithm in system.展开更多
