Home Networking in ETSI

1. Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) 14 Home Networking in ETSI Presenters: Rainer Münch, TC TISPAN Dominique Roche, TC ATTM

2. TC ATTM Home networking • Ensuring full and ubiquitous access to new services and life style • Homes, both as single-tenant and multi-tenant premises, are unique with respect to cabling infrastructures • Within the home, telecommunications services fall into three groups • ICT (also referred to as HBES Class 2): for example, telephone, local area network • BCT (also referred to as HBES Class 3): for example, broadcast television; • CCCB (also referred to as HBES Class 1): for example, security alarms, surveillance and door access control, environmental controls

3. TC ATTM Strategic Direction • Support of very high speed (broadband) & multi-service implementation • Efficient very high speed residential physical networks • Definition of standardised approach for the engineering of the building and campus optical access networks • Definition of optimized generic engineering of in-home optical fibre network (plastic optical fibre) • Definition of most relevant functional characteristics of components (e.g. connector, cable) • Efficient networks • Energy consumption trends for different FTTx scenarii • Definition of KPIs to enable proper actions and monitoring • New specification series on key performance indicators of Energy efficiency and broadband deployment • TS 105 174 Series: Part 5-1 on Home

4. TC ATTM Home networking convergent platform • Telecommunications Access and Home Networks including Terminal Equipment and Network Terminating Equipment • Copper, fibre and wireless transmission support in close cooperation with CENELEC TCs 215-205-209 • Lower layers of in home networks in collaboration with TCs i.e. TISPAN (Core Network Architecture), M2M (Machine to Machine) and ERM (TG28 Short Range Devices) • ATTM re-organization: • AT2 as “TIT networks” (Telecoms & IT) • AT3 as “Integrated broadband cable and television networks”

5. TC TISPAN NGN Network • Ongoing activity: • Robust security, with privacy protection • Completion of Release-3 protocols • Remote access, including cross-connect of CPNs • Work just starting: • Consideration of Energy Management for devices attached to the CPN • E2E QoS, or at least remote diagnostics • Intensive discussions with relevant industry forae.g. Home Gateway Initiative

6. TC TISPAN Strategic Direction • Promote international standards for CPNs • Clarify the mandatory vs. optional features • Develop consensus for migration paths • Focus on interop tests and Plugtests • Facilitate adoption of standards • New activities to list and explain the services possible with Release-3 TISPAN CPN technologies • Ensure interworking with popular devices • Interwork with legacy or future technologies • Multi-access to CPN: fixed-line, UMTS, WiMAX, remote-access, Femto, … • Roaming

7. TC ATTM Challenges • Next Generation Networks will completely change the network paradigm as the need to deliver ever higher speed services will bring a move towards more distributed electronics in the access network • Increasing electrical load in customer premises will more than balance any saving actions into the network • SDOs should champion energy efficiency in developing specifications on ICT products and systems in order to deliver multi-service • SDOs should develop user friendly residential networking guidance based on a sustainable approach

8. TC TISPAN Challenges (Technical) • Completing a "deployable" Release-3 CPN • Will it work with appropriate NGN networks? • Does it provide the services needed? • Can it be built at reasonable cost? • Can it be managed in a user-friendly way? • Integrating concepts for testing of CPNs • Testability for interop events • Testing/auditing/maintenance functions for O&M • Adopting or creating interfaces for popular home equipment • e.g. UPnP, DECT, Powerline, NFC?, future Wi-Fi

9. TC ATTM Next Steps/Actions • Already strongly liaised with GeSI-EE IOCG Standardization Branch CENELEC TC 215 to support the challenges • TS 105 174-5-1-1 for Plastic Optical Fibre System Specifications for 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s • Development of ENs on efficient data centre • Evolution of TS 105 174 Series on efficient broadband deployment and KPIs • … • Will welcome new liaisons with any organization or forum in order to support • Energy efficiency • Broadband deployment • Multi-service implementation

10. TC TISPAN Next Steps/Actions • Outreach to operators and vendors to input their priorities for security, O&M, etcto make TISPAN CPN the de facto approach • Example fora: • Co-operate with other ETSI TCs and groups • STQ 324 concerning User Data • ATTM for end-devices and HGW concepts • EE for energy considerations • STQ for QoS considerations • ITU, ETSI DECT, ETSI PLT, … DECT ATTM PLT SmartHouse Roadmap project

12. The convergence platform • ETSI addresses the specific technology, equipment, installations aspects (and to some extend regulatory) of the physical layer, e.g. of: • Transmission issues of interfaces • Frequency management on the non-radio Communication Infrastructures (wired and coaxial) • Analogue and digital presented Communication interfaces of balanced wired (twisted pair), Coaxial cable and optical fiber Infrastructures • Interfaces based on new technologies as far as they are relevant for Communication Infrastructures • Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radio systems and infrastructures used for the fixed and short range services (core and access networks), covering all equipment aspects including antenna parameters • Transmission related aspects of network architecture(s) (including protection issues) • Specification of the transmission functions performance, and energy efficiency of the network and of its elements such as transmission paths, path elements, sections, systems, functional entities, antenna, cable and optical fiber

13. Home networks, broadband & multi-service • Homes are unique with respect to cabling infrastructures for the following reasons • Represent the largest constituency for broadband services • Limited or non-existent cabling infrastructures within the home • Residents are either willing to physically move within the home, or install service-specific wireless systems • Residents tend to situate their living space(s) according to the availability of the BCT service • Ongoing development of BCT services and the consequent requirements of the local cabling (HDMI etc) restricts distribution of those services

14. Growth of ICT applications & Advent of broadband services • Growth of ICT applications within the home and the advent of broadband services allowing • Access to BCT services using ICT applications has failed to encourage large scale installation of home cabling infrastructures as a means of distribution since • Aesthetic considerations have prominence in domestic premises; • Refurbishment of the building structures is uncommon; • Residents expect temporal flexibility in access to services.

15. ETSI STF 362 deliverables • On ATTM/AT2 responsibility STF 362 developed the below Series on key performance indicators of Energy efficiency and broadband deployment • TS 105-174-1 Overview, common and generic aspects • TR 105-174-2-1 Operator sites • TS 105-174-2-2 Data centre engineering • TR 105-174-4 Access networks • TR 105-174-5-1 Homes (single-tenant) • TR 105-174-5-2 Office premises (single-tenant) • TS 105-174-5-4 Data centres (Customer)
