NGNuk PLAN OF WORK

Requirements Definition

NGNuk activities are based on the NGNuk Reference Model. The model consists of four groupings of end-to-end end-user service types which include all services and applications for which a critical mass of the NGNuk Membership wish to see supported over interconnected NGNs. The reference service groupings are:

  • Real Time Person-to-Person Services (eg. Voice calls, Video calls, Conference calls etc)
  • Near Real Time Interactive Services (eg. Instant Messaging, Press to Talk etc)
  • Streaming Services (eg. Live Radio, Live TV, Video on Demand etc)
  • Data Connection Services (eg. IP, Ethernet etc)

Each of the four reference service groupings places different characteristic requirements on the networks over which they are being transported. These characteristics were documented four subject matter specialists who will acted as Industry leads in reaching an agreed Industry position.
