It further discusses the NGN architecture and the evolution of networks to NGN, and emphasizes the Softswitch technology that features open architecture and packet-based transmission. At the end it introduces some network evolution strategies from operators outside China.展开更多

Due to liberalization and technological advancements a common core network for voice and data based on MPLS has been implemented by Telecom service providers. By offering a variety of data and multimedia services, the revenue generating process can also be maximized. The economic and regulation trends also have to be synchronized for the proper and step by step replacement of traditional network by NGN. The current flow is to provide users with multitude of services thus meeting their high demands and enhancing revenues for network operators. Class 5 and Class 4 are our legacy circuit switches based upon TDM to transport voice. For handling control functions, call setup and teardown SS7 signaling was used. The traditional network was designed to support voice services only not being able to meet customers’ demands who require a variety of services at an optimum cost. The aim of this work is to present the role of NGN encompassing the telecom network, architecture and technologies. Also it has emerged as a new platform to decrease the CAPEX and OPEX of overall network infrastructure and to maximize their revenues. In this paper, we present an upcoming architecture for the transition to NGN which is future proof for going through the migration phase along with the capacity and planning of our network.展开更多

The purpose of the algorithm was to balance the load of clusters by utilizing all system resources effectively and to avoid violent shaking of the system per- formance. A lot of simulations on the Petri net model of load balance system are conducted and the algorithm is compared with some traditional algorithms on balancing ability for heterogeneity, system throughput, re- quest response time and performance stability. The results of simulations show that the algorithm achieves system higher performance and it has excellent ability to deal with the heterogeneity of clustered media server.展开更多

The Softswitch and the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) are proposed to implement the NGN services. It is imperative to reach a consensus on positioning and planning their future directions. However, it is rather difficult to realize smooth network evolution towards IMS as the Softswitch mainly supports the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) services. In addition, the basic and complementary services of Softswitch are offered locally.展开更多
