18. Outline of the talk • Some examples of non-convergence • Some examples of convergent possibilities today (e.g. locations, web+call, calendar /presence) • UMTS OSA / Parlay technical session • standardisation • architecture and concepts • Same real life prototyping with Parlay/OSA today (Ericsson, Telenor, Net4Call) Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

19. UMTS: new concepts • VHE (Virtual Home Environment) • Same services ‘whereever you are’ independent of terminal, access network,…. (to the extent possible) Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

20. OSA (Open Service Access) • enabling new applications • may be developped and operated by 3rd parties • may utilize several features from several networks • e.g. combine Internet, mail, (UMS), PSTN voice and new multimedia networks • one user: several access types Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

21. Parlay and UMTS Open Service Access;Migration and Convergence Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

22. Parlay (www.parlay.org) • MERGE IT AND TELECOM. • Goal : define API’s that provide enterprises access to network information and allow them to control a range of network capabilities. Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

23. Standardization of Parlay 3GPP R99 (CN5): • Adoption of Parlay 2.1 APIs : TS 23.127 +TS 29.198 • Framework: Service View • Generic Call Control • User Interaction (also for WAP push) • CAMEL based Mobility Management • Terminal Capabilities (based on WAP UAProf) • Data Session (GPRS charging) • Informative mapping to network protocols: TR 29.998 ETSI (SPAN 3): • will adopt all Parlay 2.1 APIs, base for ETSI, 3GPP and ITU Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

24. Standardization of Parlay cont’d Parlay 3.0 / UMTS R04 : • OSA will become OISP: Open Interface for Service Providers • No longer have separate groups: One call control group (within 3GPP) of Parlay, ETSI and 3GPP. • Joint document ETSI - 3GPP. Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

25. Openness; the crucial role of the OSA Framework • Framework provides controlled access to Service Capabilities • authentication of applications (possibly from different domains) • authorize access to one or more Service Capabilities • Framework enables incorporation of new Service Capabilities • enables to include non-standardized capabilities, and make them available for (some) applications • enables SCS’s from different vendors Application server Application discovery OSA interface Open Interface class Service Loc . information Call control framework Architecture Service capability server(s) *MMoIP: H323 GK in R’99SIP server in R04 Msg. WAP MMoIP* HLR CSE server server Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

26. Location application; interaction flow before traffic • Application registers and authenticates towards FW • FW checks SLA, and starts suitable UserLocationManager, returns reference to application Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

27. Location service for private subscribersfull example this time…. Bank services Location services Leisure News Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

28. Location service for private subscribers Directions From To Default ATM Bank Police Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

29. Location service for private subscribers Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

30. Location application; interaction flow during traffic • Terminal interacts via WAP with application, selects ATM location option • application invokes ‘userLocationRequest’ method, getsresponse • application produces suitable map (including term.caps from WAP GW), provides this to terminal Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

31. VHE and OSA; subscriber ownership and openness • Business model of UMTS VHE (3GPP); Home Environment in control • Home Environment (HE) owns subscriber • Home Environment VAS-provider helps HE to offer service portfolio • HE-VASP has relationship with HE, but not with subscribers. Examples: • taxi service (or trafikanten)has agreement with GSM/UMTS operator to get locations, • but taxi/trafikanten need not have agreement with the end-user, • end-user might even be anonymous towards the taxi/trafikanten-service • web content provider have agreement with GSM/UMTS operator for e-payment solutions • end-user profile such as name, address, creditcard no. etc. reside within GSM/UMTS operator Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

32. OSA Standardization Status and Ericsson Strategy • UMTS OSA concept originally by Ericsson • Parlay APIs fit well in OSA concept • Ericsson joined Parlay and strives to harmonize Parlay and UMTS OSA, joint effort with ETSI SPAN3 • One API standard, one developer community! Enabling differentiated services • 3GPP and ETSI joined forces on UMTS OSA, Parlay as input • ITU refers to joint 3GPP/ETSI work on API’s • continuous feedback and alignment with Parlay group • ensure alignment with JAIN initiative and OMG Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

33. Outline of the talk • Some examples of non-convergence • Some examples of convergent possibilities today (e.g. locations, web+call, calendar /presence) • UMTS OSA / Parlay technical session • standardisation • architecture and concepts • Same real life prototyping with Parlay/OSA today (Ericsson, Telenor, Net4Call) Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS

34. Ericsson and Telenor joint OSA project • prOSA (proof of concept of OSA)by Telenor Mobil, Telenor R&D, Ericsson MU and Ericsson IPT: • Using IPT2.0 for IP-telephony • Adding OSA onto IPT2.0: • User status and (Subset of) Call Control • using call control on an IP-based telephony network • combining with Gateway from VoIP to PSTN/GSM • framework Lill Kristiansen, Ericsson AS
