ITU-T Q.3949 (08/2012) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU T

10、elecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardizati

11、on Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technol

12、ogy which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance

13、 with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligat

14、ory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation

15、of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of th

16、e date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to co

21、 Recommendations to improve the interoperability of next generation networks (NGNs). Recommendation ITU-T Q.3948 defines a voice over IP (VoIP) service testing framework at the NGN user-to-network interface (UNI), and provides a simple procedure for NGN service end-to-end testing that is useful for

22、NGN operators and equipment vendors. A series of service testing framework specifications based on ITU-T Q.3948 is thus required. This Recommendation, ITU-T Q.3949, describes the multimedia service testing based on the methods in ITU-T Q.3948. Rec. ITU-T Q.3949 (08/2012) 1 Recommendation ITU-T Q.394

23、9 Real-time multimedia service testing framework at the user-to-network interface of next generation networks 1 Scope This Recommendation describes the real-time multimedia service testing framework at the user-to-network interface (UNI) in next generation networks (NGNs). This Recommendation define

24、s the preparation for NGN multimedia service testing, physical configuration, test scenarios and test report production. The real-time multimedia service defined in this Recommendation covers services including voice and video communication, video conferencing and data sharing. Specifically, this Re

25、commendation describes video communication service testing specifications. In the future, other multimedia services will be covered. The test check sheets described in clause 7.1 are useful for NGN operators, service providers and vendors when testing their services or products. 2 References The fol
