  1. FORUM ON NEXT GENERATION STANDARDIZATION (Colombo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009) Towards a harmonized global IPTV standard Dr. Ghassem Koleyni

  2. Content Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 What is IPTV? Why IPTV? IPTV domains and architecture The focus group on IPTV (FG IPTV) The IPTV global standards initiative (IPTV-GSI) Concluding remarks

  3. What is IPTV? Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 IPTV is NOT only television over IP  it is much more  IPTV is defined as multimedia services such as television, video, audio, text, graphics and data delivered over IP-based networks which are managed to support the required level of QoS/QoE, security, interactivity and reliability

  4. Why IPTV? Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 Video/ television services Voice services Data services • The intersection of any of these domains creates new service opportunities • Increased service value • Increased customer loyalty • Increased ARPU • Web and PC on TV • Voice services on TV • Video phone • Video on PC • VoIP

  5. What is IPTV Offering? Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 New integrated services represent the real opportunity for service providers to differentiate their offerings • NGN has opened up new possibilities, enabling user control and involvement. • IPTV is envisaged to be the major beneficiary of NGN providing numerous capabilities for video, audio and data applications (i.e. triple and quadruple plays)

  6. IPTV Domains Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009

  7. Architectural View: Technology Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 Transport Content Ctl & mang End-User Access Core Content • Residential gateways • Modems • Set-top boxes • Mobile devices • Home network • DSLAMs • Access gateways • FTTH • Routing • Switching • Encoders • Middleware • VoD servers • Content aggregators • Content IPTV provides the end-to-end solution!

  8. IPTV Domains (I) Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 • End-user (consumer) • Selects and consumes content • Pays bills • Has network connection with LAN QoS • Owns or operates IPTV terminal • Set-Top Box connected to a TV • Soft-client on PC or game console

  9. IPTV Domains (II) Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 • Network Provider: Delivers content (e.g. stream) from Service Provider to Consumer • Network Transport • Multicast streams – one to many • Unicast streams – one to one • Point-to-point IP connectivity • Network Authentication • Normally provided by home gateway • Network Upstream & Downstream Control • Admission control • Traffic prioritisation • Network Session • Multicast – long duration, maintained across channel changes • Unicast – duration same as content use

  10. IPTV Domains (III) Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 • Service Provider • Provides IPTV service • Ingests and protects IPTV content • Responsible for operational and business support systems • CRM, fulfilment, assurance, configuration, billing, etc. • Provides IPTV application • Content identification, selection, purchase, etc. • Content Provider • Owner of content • Delivers contents as: streams, files, tapes, etc. • Responsible for production, contract management, encoding, etc.

  11. Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 Focus Group on IPTV (FG IPTV) First step in ITU for a harmonized global solution for IPTV

  12. FG IPTV Mission Statement Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 Coordinate and promote the development of global IPTV standards. Take into account the existing work of the ITU study groups as well as other Standards Developing Organizations (SDO), Forums and Consortia.

  13. Areas of Standardization Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 ITU-T is committed to producing global standards for an end-to-end IPTV solution Architecture and requirements QoS/QoE and performance Service security and content protection Network and control End systems and interoperability Middleware and application platforms

  14. Collaboration With Other SDOs Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 Regional and national bodies and related SDOs benefit immensely from contributing to ITU-T and having their work incorporated into globally recognized and accepted standards. Liaised with most SDOs involved in development of IPTV related standards Used ATIS IIF, Broadband forum (formerly DSL Forum) and Home Gateway Initiative related documents as input to prepare ITU-T standards Good working relationship with DVB project and ETSI TISPAN

  15. Focus Group on IPTV - Key Facts Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 • Established: April 2006 • Held 7 face-to-face meetings: Every 25 months • Contributions received: 1101 • Average participation per meeting: 178 • Deliverables: 20 • Architecture and requirements 4 • QoS and performance 4 • Security 1 • Network control 3 • End systems and interoperability 2 • Middleware and application platforms 5 • Terminology 1 • Terminated:January 2008

  16. IPTV Focus Group Proceedings Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 • FG IPTV Proceedings are available for free download: • http://www.itu.int/publ/T-PROC-IPTVFG-2008/en

  17. IPTV Global Standards Initiative Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009

  18. IPTV Global Standards Initiative (I) Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 • After termination of the FG IPTV mandate, the ongoing work on IPTV was carried out under the umbrella of a Global Standards Initiative (the IPTV-GSI) • The focus group output documents were distributed between relevant study groups. • Coordinated planning of the activities through co-located meetings of the involved Rapporteur groups. • IPTV-GSI is now comprised of study groups 9, 11, 12, 13, 16 and 17. These study groups collaborate with most of ITU-T study groups

  19. IPTV Global Standards Initiative (II) Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 • Created the IPTV-JCA (Joint Coordination Activity) • To oversee IPTV-GSI activities • Extends representation to include other SDOs involved with ITU-T in the IPTV work stemming from the results of the IPTV Focus Group • Convened five meetings in 2008 and some are planned for 2009 • Has produced the first set of global

  20. IPTV-GSI Documents Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 • IPTV-GSI documents are available at: http://itu.int/ITU-T/gsi/iptv Note: a TIES account is required to access these documents

  21. Practical Considerations Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009

  22. Architecture Approaches Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 • “NGN-based” and “IMS-based” architecture • An IPTV service component is drawn on top of “other NGN service components” in NGN architecture. • The IPTV service component is achieved by using IMS • “NGN-based” and “non-IMS-based” architecture • An IPTV service component is drawn on top of “other NGN service components” in NGN architecture • The IPTV service component is achieved without using IMS • “Non-NGN-based” architecture • The architecture does not depend on NGN architecture

  23. IPTV Functions Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 Application Functions Manage - Content End - User ment Provider Functions Functions Functions Service Control Functions Content Delivery Functions Network Functions

  24. Implementation Approaches Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 ITU-T is engaged in the standardisation of interfaces between IPTV components. • Operators can choose different approaches for IPTV deployment: • Build IPTV service using a set of components from different suppliers, that suppliers integrate themselves. • Build IPTV service with a pre-integrated set of components; integrator and component suppliers. • Build IPTV service with an integrated set of components for a single supplier.

  25. Concluding Remarks (I) Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 • ITU-T responded quickly to market needs for producing standards on IPTV • ITU is cooperating with other SDOs and industry forums to produce global standards • First set of Recommendations (i.e. standards) have been approved and probably are being implemented • ITU-T is a unique place where global IPTV standards can be created • ITU-T IPTV standardization success comes from addressing all IPTV related issues and having all IPTV experts at the same time and in the same place • Work continues at full steam to complete and complement recently created standards Providing ITU-T standards compliant products would benefit all involved.

  26. Concluding Remarks (II) Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 • Compliance to global standards would: • Reduce development costs and product costs • Result in capturing bigger market share • Bring faster introduction to the markets • Ensure interoperability • Help all players remain competitive ITU-T standards compliant products are key to global interoperability

  27. List of Acronyms Colmbo, Sri Lanka, 7-10 April 2009 • ARPU Average Revenue Per User • CRM Customer Relationship Management • DSLAM DSL Access Multiplexer • FTTH Fibre to the Home • ICT Information, Communication & Technology • IMS IP Multimedia Subsystem • IPTV IP Television • LAN Local Area Network • NACF Network Attachment Control Functions • NGN Next Generation Network • PC Personal Computer • QoE Quality of Experience • QoS Quality of Service • RACF Resource Admission Control Functions • SCP Service and Content Protection • SDO Standard Developing Organization • STB Set-Top Box • VoD Video on Demand • VoIP Voice over IP
