Title:
Proposal for a new web service component in NGN architecture for multi-service
capabilities
1. Introduction
From service evolutional point of view, most of NGN services will be based on web technologies
with user friendly and personalized solutions to support multi-service capabilities. Regarding this,
the Q.12/13 has discussed Web service architecture over NGN at the last May meeting and agreed
to adopt this topic as a living list item.
In NGN release 1, two components were identified in the service stratum: the IP multimedia service
component and the PSTN/ISDN emulation service component. Other NGN service components
were remained for the future to address other services such as streaming services. After that, IPTV
service component has newly added in the service stratum for IPTV services. Similar manner, web
service component will be required for supporting Web, etc.
Therefore, in this contribution, we propose a new Web service component for NGN-Web
convergence to support multi-service capabilities using Web.

This section introduces the concept of current NGN service specific components, derived from the
generalized NGN functional architecture based on [ITU-T Y.2012] and [ITU-T Y.1910]. (see
Figure 1)
 IP multimedia service component
The IP multimedia service component supports mediated multimedia services. These
services may include multimedia session services, such as voice or video telephony or
PSTN/ISDN simulation, and some non-session services, such as subscribe/notify for
presence information and the message method for message exchange.
 PSTN/ISDN emulation service component
The PSTN/ISDN emulation service component enables the support of legacy terminals
connected through a gateway to an IP network. All PSTN/ISDN services remain available
and identical (i.e., with the same operating characteristics), such that end users are unaware
that they are not connected to a TDM-based PSTN/ISDN. Not all service capabilities and
interfaces have to be present to provide PSTN/ISDN emulation.
 IPTV service component
Service control functions and content delivery functions can optionally be included in the
IPTV service component of NGN. Thus, application functions, service control functions,
and content delivery functions are included in the service stratum of the NGN architecture.
IPTV service control functional block corresponds to NGN service control functions.
However, NGN service control functions can optionally include other functionalities.
2.2. Web service component
In order to support web-related services, this contribution proposes a new Web service component
as shown in Figure 1.

 Web service component
The Web service component enables web service and web based service. For Web service,
this component supports Web technologies such as HTTP, SOAP(Simple Object Access
Protocol), XML(Extensible Markup Language), and WSDL(Web Services Description
Language), etc. Other service components can use the Web service component to support
various applications using Web.
2.3. Relationship with NGN components
Figure 2 describes relationship with each service component of NGN.
 The IP multimedia service (IMS based) component is specified further in [ITU-T Y.2021].
 The PSTN/ISDN emulation service (IMS based and call server) component is specified
further in [ITU-T Y.2031].
 The IPTV service (IMS based, Non-IMS, and Non NGN) component is specified further in
[ITU-T Y.1910].
 The Web service (Web service, Web based) component will be specified further in a new
Recommendation. In case of Web-based, interworking with other service components will
be necessary.

3. Proposal
We would like to discuss the proposed Web service component in NGN architecture and also
request to include our proposal (the Section 2) in the Appendix of current living list (Web service
architecture over NGN) of Q.12/13 for encouraging contributions and developing an initial draft
recommendation on this work.
