The introduction of the QoS resource control architecture based on the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) framework is a way to solve QoS problems in the converged networks. Services,QoS guarantee,resource control and accounting functions are integrated into this IMS-based QoS control architecture. It is a solution to the problems currently facing the fixed network operators,helping them offer more QoS-guaranteed multimedia services such as 3D games,and make a transition from bandwidth providers to genuine telecom services providers.展开更多

In the process of promoting the commercial usage of IMS services, the Service Delivery Platform (SDP) is evolving into a more convergent and open Service Delivery Environment (SDE) and will become the mainstream of the next generation Telecom Service Network. ZTE’s concept of the Converged Service Network (CSN) is to integrate various network service capabilities to realize the unification of data, service, capability and management and thus the fast provisioning of various Value-Added Services (VASs), which helps the carriers to maintain a leading position in the value chain, meeting the telecom carriers ’ requirements for service network development.展开更多

This aspect is considered by standardisation bodies such as ETSI [1], 5 G-PPP [2] and 3 GPP [3]. A comprehensive system is designed and implemented in an emulation prototype, including standard 3 GPP LTE core network functionality [4] with its different layers: networking, data forwarding, control, management and monitoring and is validated through performance measurements. This work is a technical feasibility study of extending terrestrial communication systems with satellite networks as backhaul, increasing the energy efficiency, network robustness during natural disasters as well as being an alternative for peak-time data forwarding of the terrestrial communication services. Due to its global coverage property, terrestrial-satellite integration provides an obvious extension of communication services towards isolated and remote areas and an alternative for rural or highly distributed/highly mobile enterprise networks.展开更多

We present the motivation behind the proposal of the concept of cognition flow, provide the definition, discuss the features, behaviours, representations, mathematical models, and the functions of cognition flow in Cognitive Radio Networks(CRNs). We also analyse how the cognition flow promotes the convergence of heterogeneous networks.Our group also constructed the test platform to verify the usefulness of cognition flow. The results that were simulated by computers and tested on the platform both confirm that cognition flow can realise efficient interaction of cognitive information among heterogeneous networks in CRNs, which contributes to the seamless convergence of heterogeneous networks,and significantly improves the spectrum efficiency and users' Quality of Experience(QoE).展开更多

However, many bottlenecks exist in the converged system such as high time delay, high energy consumption, and low data rate. Multi-Radio Cooperation (MRC) technology is specially designed to overcome these bottlenecks and to satisfy the requirements of heterogeneous network convergence. MRC can improve network capacity, reduce the energy consumption of radio devices, and decrease handover latency between heterogeneous networks by the cooperation of multiple radios, and by efficient management and feasible allocation of multi-radio resources. MRC makes real seamless heterogeneous network convergence possible.展开更多

Network convergence involves service,core network,access network,terminal,and operation and maintenance convergence. In the future,the converged network’s trend is to use IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) at the core control layer; Internet Protocol/Multiple Protocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS) technology at the core bearer layer; unified and open service provisioning architecture at the service layer; as well as support fixed,mobile,narrowband and broadband access technologies and so on at the access layer. Terminals will evolve to be multi-modular and intelligent,and would finally enable users to access full services anytime and anywhere using one number,one terminal,one account and one core network.展开更多

Service convergence includes two aspects: The convergence of the fixed and mobile networks; and the convergence of traditional communications and Internet services. This requires balancing the conflicts between the openness and operationability of terminal capability and network convergence. Unified authentication and authorization are the basis for service convergence in terms of operationability. Modular network and open terminal are technical solutions for the service convergence.展开更多

In this paper, an open Wi-Fi platform is designed and developed with special consideration of real-time signal processing. Such system can help accelerate research and development of future wireless network, especially in the case of cellular/Wi-Fi co-existing networks. This platform is based on the Intel general-purpose processor and the universal software radio peripheral(USRP) radio front end. The design including the physical layer implementations is purely software and is optimized for real-time signal processing on the general purpose processor. In the lab experiment, this platform supports baseband rate up to 700 Mbps with 2 transmitters in 80 MHz bandwidth. A cellular-Wi-Fi signaling interface between the Wi-Fi access point(AP) and the 5G core network is also developed and validated as an example for wireless resource allocation.展开更多
