Current situation and trend of marine data buoy and monitoring network technology of China

Marine data buoy can provide a long-term, continuous, real-time, reliable data of ocean observation in a variety of complex marine environment. It is one of the most reliable, most effective and important means of ocean monitoring technology. In this paper, the classification, main theory and technology system of marine data buoy are summarized. The typical technological breakthrough of the development of marine data buoy in recent years is summarized. The composition and application of marine monitoring network in China was introduced, and the gap between the technology of China＇s marine data buoy and the international advanced countries is compared.Combined on the situation and demand of China＇s current situation and needs, the development trend of marine data buoy and buoy monitoring network are expected.

Trends and Prospects of Network Convergence

The concept of the separation of service,control,bearer and access in the Next Generation Network (NGN) provides a unified architecture for the network convergence in the future. 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.

Next Generation Network Service Provision Mode and Its Developing Trend

The provision mode of the telecommunication service has experienced an evolving process, and showing the developing trend from distributed to centralized, from integrated to separated, and from closed to open. 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.

Ubiquitous information service networks and technology based on the convergence of communications, computing and control

The rapid development of the IoT(Internet of Things)is bringing about a functional change of communication networks from“information transmission”to“information service”.First,the conception and characteristics of the IoT are in-troduced,i.e.,an Internet of humans,machines,and things meant to achieve smart information services.Then,the technology requirements for realizing ubiquitous and smart information services are described.The corresponding key technologies are also discussed,including the integration of communications,computing and control technology(3C),heterogeneous network fusion theory and technology,intelligent sensor technology and short-distance networking theory,large-scale network transmission theory and technology,the network virtualization and intelligent computing technology geared toward information service,and the collaborative network system and service model geared to the application of the IoT.Finally,the development trends of in-formation technologies and information networks in the next five to ten years are analyzed,and give some suggestions for main research areas to be explored and key issues to be resolved.
