  1. Network Agnostic Service Platform Michel Benoliel November 2005

  2. Agenda • Industry Challenges • Policy Based Network Access Control • BEA Communication Platform in IMS • Q&A

  3. Vertical Telecom Network Infrastructure • For relatively small #s of apps, vertical approach is simpler, cheaper and faster • For larger #s of more complex apps, non-optimal duplication, costly, slower • No separation of the application layers vs. network/access layers • Reduced interoperability at the application and network layers due to service specific • network gateways and elements • Higher operational costs to maintain service-specific vertical silos • Higher development costs to extend existing services, as well as launch new ones

  4. Industry Drivers to Convergence

  5. Dual Convergence

  6. Next-Generation Service Delivery Platform • Multimedia service delivery platform based on Internet standard protocols • Network and access agnostic IP-based network integration layer • Internet and telecom industry standard specification and architecture from IETF, • 3GPP, OMA, ETSI

  7. “We’re borrowing from the software development model … ideas like objects and reusable components. To accelerate service introduction, we want to let people pick and mix components to build their own services.” Daryl Dunbar, BT’s director of 21st Century Network (21CN) design and development.

  15. Agenda • Industry Challenges • Policy Based Network Access Control • BEA Communication Platform in IMS • Q&A

  16. IMS Features Overview • IMS architecture consists of 3 key “layers”: • Application Server layer (applications) • Session Control layer (SIP network) • Media layer (PSTN/circuit switched) • Based on Internet industry standards, not Telco standards • Built-in secure identity and privacy management • Device and access-agnostic • Context-aware services e.g. Presence • Auto-roaming of services • Flexible charging models • Negotiate Quality of Service • (QoS) • Fixed/Mobile convergence (FMC)

  17. IMS Component Architecture • A/S = Application Server • IMS service logic • SIP interface into IMS core network • 3 types: SIP, Parlay, CAMEL • IM SSF = IP Multimedia Service Switching Function • 2G wireless application platform • CAMEL Service Environment • CSCF = Call/Session Control Function • SIP proxy servers • Session control & signalling • 3 types: Serving, Interrogating, Proxy • HSS = Home Subscriber Server • Subscriber database • Maintains home subscriber profile • MRF = Media Resource Function • Signalling plane – Media Resource • Function Controller (MFRC) • Media plane – Media Resource Function

  18. Charging in IMS • Online Charging • Based on charging event creation • Immediate Event Charging (IEC) (type EVENT_RECORD) • Event Charging with Unit Reservation (ECUR) (type START/INTERIM/STOP_RECORD) • ECF (Event Charging Function) uses charging event to support OCS • Unit determination and rating • Centralized on the ECF • Decentralized on the AS/MFRC • Offline Charging • Based on CDRs collection • IMS network elements report accounting information to the CCF using the rf Interface

  19. Online IMS Charging architecture

  20. BEA WebLogic Communications Platform in IMS

  21. BEA WebLogic Communication PlatformConverging IT and Telecom • Key Industry Standards • SIP-IMS-J2EE • Telecom Web Services • Unique Product Suite • Combination of J2EE-SIP • application server with powerful network policy enforcement engine • Leverage WebLogic Workshop service creation environment • Powers New Services • Realize higher ARPU with new service innovations • Real-time, rich-media, interactive services • Securely open network access to 3rd parties and developers

  22. WLCP in Converged Network Architecture

  23. Thank you!Any questions?

  24. Current Situation Implemented in-house SDP solution No Messaging support and no billing integration Lacking Bulk Capacity for SMS and MMS No Standard interfaces for 3rd party access No Real-time SLA enforcement No scalability Marketing requirements unable to be met by current systems WLNG CASE STUDY #1 - EMEA

  25. WLNG with Location, Messaging, Subscriber Profile etc. based on Standard interfaces (Parlay X) Support MM7, SMPP, CIMDv2 north-bound Support MM7, SMPP, CIMDv2 and SS7 south-bound Built with PRM support Support to Integrate PRM with Network Elements Pre-Paid/Post-Paid integration Real time SLA Enforcementusing Policy evaluation Bulk support using partner High Security using WS-Security Single Sign-on Policy based Access Control BEA WLNG SOLUTION
