Recommendation ITU-T Y.1546 provides common reference events and parameters for attachment and hand-over performance.

ITU-T Y.1546 (10/2014) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technolo

11、gies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication 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 Telecommu

12、nication Standardization 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

13、of information technology 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 operat

14、ing agency. Compliance 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“

15、 or some other obligatory 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 RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practi

16、ce or implementation 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 developm

However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore

21、 Y.1546 (10/2014) 1 Recommendation ITU-T Y.1546 Hand-over performance among multiple access networks 1 Scope This Recommendation defines IP-layer and sub-IP-layer performance parameters for communication scenarios where one or more network technologies provide the access path between a users communi

22、cation device and an IP-based network (the Internet is the most common example), where the number of access paths to the IP-based network is changing (possibly due to mobility or to other factors such as failure or overload). The performance parameters defined here build on the foundation of point-t

23、o-point parameters defined in ITU-T Y.1540 and point-to-multipoint parameters defined in ITU-T Y.1544. One way to view the coverage of this Recommendation in comparison with ITU-T Y.1540 is to view them both in the context of the 3-by-3 matrix of communication phases and performance categories of sp

24、eed, accuracy and dependability. Table 1 Coverage of ITU-T Y.1540 Function/Criteria Speed Accuracy Dependability Activation Information transfer ITU-T Y.1540 packet transfer performance parameters Deactivation Whereas ITU-T Y.1540 covers the important phase of communication when the user device has

25、activated a network interface and performed sub-IP layer and IP layer configurations, this Recommendation recognizes the importance of metrics for access network activation and deactivation corresponding to a user devices mobility into and beyond coverage areas, and the policy of a user device to us

26、e access networks it deems suitable. Furthermore, this Recommendation recognizes that when more than one access network is accessible to the user device, the device policy may be to: hand-over communications to one network and deactivate others; prefer one access network but keep the other networks

27、active or in back-up/standby; use the information transfer capabilities of all networks simultaneously. New performance parameters are needed to accommodate all the policies above. At the core of hand-over performance is the simple activation speed and accuracy of the newly accessible network, follo

28、wed by the implementation of policy, or policy action followed by deactivation. Policy implemented before activation, based on a priori knowledge or field strength measurements is beyond the scope of this Recommendation. This phase of operation is often referred to as access network “discovery“. Thu

29、s, this Recommendation recognizes policy as an element of activation, prior to hand-over or possibly precluding hand-over when all information transfer capabilities will be used simultaneously. 2 Rec.

37、 3.2 Terms defined in this Recommendation This Recommendation defines the following terms: Rec. ITU-T Y.1546 (10/2014) 3 3.2.1 accessible network: An access network which, either recognizes the user device as participating in a subscription, has permission or which requires terms and conditions that

38、 the user has or will accept. 3.2.2 coverage definitions of overlaps and gaps Wireless networks provide variable coverage areas due to many factors including transmission power restrictions, radio antenna location and transmission obstacles in the line-of-sight between antennae. 3.2.2.1 coverage gap

39、: When a user device is unable to receive signals from (or send signals to) an accessible network, then this device is located in a coverage gap and all means of IP packet transfer are unavailable (according to the ITU-T Y.1540 definition of service availability). 3.2.2.2 overlapping coverage area:

40、When a user device is able to receive signals from and send signals to more than one accessible network, then this device is located in an overlapping coverage area and IP packet transfer service may be available (according to the ITU-T Y.1540 definition of service availability) from more than one t

41、ype of network or more than one network operator. 3.2.2.3 single coverage area: When a user device is only able to receive signals from and send signals to a single accessible network, then this device is located in a single coverage area and IP packet transfer service may be available (according to

42、 the ITU-T Y.1540 definition of service availability). 3.2.3 subscriber: An entity (associated with one or more users) that is engaged in a subscription with a service provider. The subscriber is allowed to subscribe and unsubscribe to services, to register a user or a list of users authorized to en

43、joy these services, and also to set the limits relative to the use that associated users make of these services. There may be data transfer limits on a subscription. There may be multiple devices used as part of the subscription. NOTE This Recommendation focuses on a single device. 3.2.4 user device

44、: A generic version of names for “mobile station“ (MS) and “user equipment“ (UE) used in other standards bodies. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: DNS Domain Name Service DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol HA Host Activation HC Host

46、activation and deactivation. network discovery (sub-IP layer event) and activation start; IP network configuration complete; network rejection; network activation attempt time-out. 6.1 Reference events at the user device (or other key location) This clause proposes two sets of reference events at un

47、ified measurement points (MPs) for IP and sub-IP layer events. Ingress and egress measurement points allow observation of both directions of transmission for IP and sub-IP layer packets. 6.1.1 Ingress MP at sub-IP layer (L= link) Sub-IP connect reference event (LC): Occurs when a sub-IP packet ingre

48、ss event occurs, and the packet is a request to attach to a particular access network. Sub-IP release reference event (LR): Occurs when a sub-IP packet ingress event occurs, and the packet is a request to release resources on a particular access network. 6.1.2 Egress MP at sub-IP layer Sub-IP attach

49、 reference event (LA): Occurs when a sub-IP packet egress event occurs, and the packet confirms attachment to a particular access network. Sub-IP termination reference event (LT): Occurs when a sub-IP packet egress event occurs, and the packet acknowledges a request to release resources on a particular access network. 6.1.3 Ingress MP at IP layer (H=host, associated with a sub-IP layer) Host Config reference event (HC): Occurs when an IP packet ingress event occurs, and the
