7、ndations. Rec. ITU-T Y.3001 (05/2011) i Recommendation ITU-T Y.3001 Future networks: Objectives and design goals Summary Recommendation ITU-T Y.3001 describes objectives and design goals for future networks (FNs). In order to differentiate FNs from existing networks, four objectives have been identi

8、fied: service awareness, data awareness, environmental awareness, and social and economic awareness. In order to realize these objectives, twelve design goals have been identified: service diversity, functional flexibility, virtualization of resources, data access, energy consumption, service univer

9、salization, economic incentives, network management, mobility, optimization, identification, reliability and security. This Recommendation assumes that the target timeframe for FNs falls approximately between 2015 and 2020. Appendix I describes technologies elaborated in recent research efforts that

10、 are likely to be used as an enabling technology for each design goal. History Edition Recommendation Approval Study Group 1.0 ITU-T Y.3001 2011-05-20 13 ii Rec. ITU-T Y.3001 (05/2011) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of t

11、elecommunications, information and communication technologies (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 tel

12、ecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication 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

13、 procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas 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

14、 telecommunication administration and a recognized operating 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

15、 of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ 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 RIG

16、HTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice 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

17、 members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the 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 m

30、3 Definitions 3.1 Terms defined elsewhere This Recommendation uses the following term defined elsewhere: 3.1.1 identifier ITU-T Y.2091: An identifier is a series of digits, characters and symbols or any other form of data used to identify subscriber(s), user(s), network element(s), function(s), netw

31、ork entity(ies) providing services/applications, or other entities (e.g., physical or logical objects). 2 Rec. ITU-T Y.3001 (05/2011) 3.2 Terms defined in this Recommendation This Recommendation defines the following terms. 3.2.1 component network: A single homogeneous network which, by itself, may

32、not provide a single end-to-end global telecommunication infrastructure. 3.2.2 future network (FN): A network able to provide services, capabilities, and facilities difficult to provide using existing network technologies. A future network is either: a) A new component network or an enhanced version

33、 of an existing one, or b) A heterogeneous collection of new component networks or of new and existing component networks that is operated as a single network. NOTE 1 The plural form “Future Networks“ (FNs) is used to show that there may be more than one network that fits the definition of a future

34、network. NOTE 2 A network of type b may also include networks of type a. NOTE 3 The label assigned to the final federation may, or may not, include the word “future“, depending on its nature relative to any preceding network and similarities thereto. NOTE 4 The word “difficult“ does not preclude som

35、e current technologies from being used in future networks. NOTE 5 In the context of this Recommendation, the word “new“ applied to a component network means that the component network is able to provide services, capabilities, and facilities that are difficult or impossible to provide using existing

36、 network technologies. 3.2.3 service universalization: A process to provide telecommunication services to every individual or group of people irrespective of social, geographical, and economical status. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: C

38、e-oriented Architecture 5 Conventions This Recommendation uses “is recommended“ to indicate the main points to be taken into account in the standardization of FNs. Detailed requirements and their degree (“required“, “recommended“, or “optional“) need further study. Rec. ITU-T Y.3001 (05/2011) 3 6 In

39、troduction While some requirements for networks do not change, a number of requirements are evolving and changing and new requirements arise, causing networks and their architecture to evolve. For future networks, traditional requirements, such as promoting fair competition ITU-T Y.2001, which refle

40、ct societys values, remain important. At the same time, new requirements are emerging. Numerous research projects have proposed requirements pertaining to future society b-NICT Vision and b-EC FI, and although there is still a lack of consensus, it is clear that sustainability and environmental issu

41、es will be vitally important considerations over the long term. New application areas such as Internet of Things, smart grids, and cloud computing are also emerging. Also, new implementation technologies, such as advanced silicon and optical technology, enable support of requirements that were conve

42、ntionally considered unrealistic, for example, by substantially reducing the production cost of an equipment. All these new factors introduce new requirements to networks. The basic architecture of large-scale public networks, such as telecommunication networks, is difficult to change due to the eno

43、rmous amount of resources needed to build, operate, and maintain them. Their architecture is therefore carefully designed to be flexible enough to satisfy continually changing requirements. For instance, Internet Protocol (IP) absorbs and hides the different protocols and implementations of underlyi

44、ng layers and, with its simple addressing and other features, it has succeeded in adapting to the enormous changes in scalability, as well as factors such as quality of service (QoS) and security. However, it is not known if current networks can continue to fulfil changing requirements in the future

45、. Nor is it known whether the growing market of new application areas will have the potential to finance the enormous investment required to change the networks, if the new architecture is to be sufficiently attentive to backward compatibility and migration costs. Research communities have been work

46、ing on various architectures and supporting technologies, such as network virtualization b-Anderson, b-ITU-T FG-FN NWvirt, energy-saving of networks b-ITU-T FG-FN Energy, and content-centric networks b-Jacobson. It is, therefore, reasonable to expect that some requirements can be realized by the new

47、 network architectures and supporting technologies described by recent research activities, and that these could be the foundation of networks of the future, whose trial services and phased deployment is estimated to fall approximately between 2015 and 2020. In this Recommendation, networks based on

48、 such new architecture are named “Future Networks“ (FNs). This Recommendation describes objectives that may differentiate FNs from existing networks, design goals that FNs should satisfy, target dates and migration issues, and technologies for achieving the design goals. 7 Objectives FNs are recomme

49、nded to fulfil the following objectives which reflect the new requirements that are emerging. These are objectives that are not considered as primary or are not realized to a satisfactory extent in current networks. These objectives are the candidate characteristics that clearly differentiate FNs. 7.1 Service awareness FNs are recommended to provide services whose functions are designed to be appropriate to the needs of applications and users. The number and range of services is expected to
