9、ication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, 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
10、questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications 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 Recommenda
11、tions 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 technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendati
12、on, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a 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
13、 or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all 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 complian
14、ce with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU 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
15、 applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU 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
16、 implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

20、Rec. ITU-T Q.3040 (08/2010) Introduction The service control functions include call/session control, resource control, registration, and authentication and authorization functions at the service level for both mediated and non-mediated services. They may also include functions for controlling media
21、resources, i.e., specialized resources and gateways at the service-signalling level. Recommendation ITU-T Q.3040 describes the overall signalling architecture for the IPTV control plane. It identifies the functions, functional blocks, physical entities, interfaces, and protocols that will model the
22、control plane for IPTV. Rec. ITU-T Q.3040 (08/2010) 1 Recommendation ITU-T Q.3040 Signalling architecture for IPTV control plane 1 Scope This Recommendation describes the overall signalling architecture for IPTV control plane. It identifies the functions, functional blocks, physical entities, interf
23、aces, and protocols that will model the control plane for IPTV. The interfaces identified in this Recommendation include: interfaces between the service control entities and the IPTV application entities; interfaces between the service control entities and the control entities of service transport s
24、tratum; interfaces between the service control entities and the content delivery entities; interfaces between the service control entities and the end user. Other interfaces (such as the interfaces between two IPTV application entities, internal interfaces of service transport stratum, etc.) are out
25、side the scope of this Recommendation. Appendix I provides functions and reference architecture of non-NGN IPTV architecture which are extracted from ITU-T Y.1910. This includes the reference points related and unrelated to service control functions, which may be helpful for the readers. 2 Reference
26、s The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All Recommendations and other references are subject to revision; users of
27、 this Recommendation are therefore encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the Recommendations and other references listed below. A list of the currently valid ITU-T Recommendations is regularly published. The reference to a document within this Recommendatio
28、n does not give it, as a stand-alone document, the status of a Recommendation.

30、 CD however, IPTV services are not covered by b-ITU-T Q.3402. The relationship is for further study. 8.2.3 Interface Is-c For NGN IMS IPTV architecture, interface Is-c will use SIP as per b-ETSI TS 124 229, as indicated in ITU-T Q.1741.6. 8.2.4 Interface Is-u For NGN IMS IPTV architecture, interface
31、 Is-u will use DIAMETER protocol as per IETF RFC 3588. 8.2.5 Interface Is-t For NGN IMS IPTV architecture, interface Is-t will use DIAMETER protocol as per IETF RFC 3588. NOTE Is-t interface partially relates to Rt interface defined in b-ITU-T Q.3321.1. Because some IPTV services use multicast capab
32、ilities, b-ITU-T Q.3321.1 does not cover the multicast capabilities. The relationship is for further study. 10 Security considerations The signalling architecture for IPTV control plane is required to support security mechanisms of session control, as supported by the protocols identified in clause
33、8. These mechanisms can be applied in both non-IMS and IMS-based IPTV architectures. Other service specific security requirements are out of scope of this Recommendation. 10 Rec.
