Background

• The future telecom services have the trend of
  multi-dimensional characteristics.(mobile
  Internet, cloud computing and other new
  applications and business models)
• new requirements for networks, such as high
  bandwidth pipes, mobility, real-time,
  interactive, high quality, security, etc.
• The network not only needs to transport more data
  efficiently, but also need to provide faster
  response and service differentiation.

3
Flow increase pressure

• high-bandwidth video and P2P application,
  operators face huge pressure on network capacity
  expansion.
• The scissors difference between bandwidth and
  revenue growing become wider.
• The challengers high-bandwidth video and P2P
  application, OTT services, huge pressure on
  network capacity expanding. Being pipeline

4
The network need to become smarter

• This network development trends require operators
  to identify the user and service requirements at
  the network level
• to improve network efficiency and value through
  intelligent resource scheduling and network
  traffic management.
• This kind of network can be refer to as High
  Intelligent Network (HIN) to reconstruct the
  traditional simple network pipe into a Smart
  Pipe
• The technologies component for HIN include
  converged resource policy control system, Deep
  Packet Inspection (DPI), intelligent traffic
  management/QoS mechanism, User Data
  Convergence(UDC), etc.

5
Characteristics of HIN

• Network status aware with DPI and
  multi-dimensional perception
• User self-assignment of network resources
• Network coordination between wireless and fixed
  network
• On-demand service quality assurance and service
  differentiation
• Intelligent traffic management/QoS assurance

6
Target of High Intelligent Network

• High Intelligent Network (HIN) provides network
  transport resources service based on user and
  application requirements.HIN can provide users
  with flexible mechanisms to enable users to
  request specific network resources and
  dynamically adjust the requirements.HIN can
  provide control interface to network
  applications, enable applications to request
  required resource and service level on demand.

Highlight of Current Activities

• ITU-T SG13, 3GPP, BBF and CCSA have a strong
  intention on investigation and standardizing High
  Intelligent Network related technologies.
• ITU-T SG13 NGN Future Network, SUN (Smart
  Ubiquitous Networks)
•  3GPP Enhanced PCC for FMC (WLAN,H(e)NB)
•  BBF Interworking between Next Generation Fixed
  and 3GPP Wireless Access, Broadband Policy
  Control Framework (BPCF)
• CCSA The architecture of High Intelligent
  NetworkThe converged fixed and mobile network
  policy control system

Strategic Direction

• Make a resolution of HIN including
• The requirements for High Intelligent Network
• The system architecture of High Intelligent
  Network
• The typical application model and efficient
  networking scenario.
• Key considerations
• The architecture of HIN is divided into control
  layer and network layer to enable the separation
  of network control and data transport,
• In addition to the exiting AAA and network
  management systems, the control layer consists of
  unified authentication system, traffic perception
  analysis system, policy control and traffic
  scheduling function. By interact with the service
  platforms, control layer can provide network
  status and user traffic information to
  applications, and collect resources requirements
  from applications.
• The converged fixed and mobile network policy
  control system
• Interactive between High Intelligent Network and
  service layer network

9
Strategic Direction

• Our target should be better focused on the
  application model and networking scenario in
  order to differentiate with other standard body.
• ITU-T SG13 has setup a study items on Smart
  Ubiquitous Networks (SUN) in July 2011. SUN is
  IP-based packet networks that can provide
  transport and delivery a wide range of existing
  and emerging services to people and things.
• 3GPP and BBF have agree developing the converged
  fixed and mobile network policy control standards
  based on PCC (Policy and charging control)
  architecture.
• Possible cooperation with major standard body.

Next Step Suggestion

• Based on the above discussion, we propose to
  start a new working item about resolution of HIN
