ITU-T Y.2062 (03/2012) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs)
10、. 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 Telecommunication St
11、andardization 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 informat
12、ion 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 operating agency.
13、 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“ or some ot
14、her 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 RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or impl
15、ementation 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 proces
16、s. 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 may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly

28、erms defined elsewhere This Recommendation uses the following terms defined elsewhere: 3.1.1 context ITU-T Y.2002: The information that can be used to characterize the environment of a user. NOTE Context information may include where the user is, what resources (devices, access points, noise level,
29、bandwidth, etc.) are near the user, at what time the user is moving, interaction history between person and objects, etc. According to specific applications, context information can be updated. 2 Rec. ITU-T Y.2062 (03/2012) 3.1.2 object ITU-T Y.2002: An intrinsic representation of an entity that is
30、described at an appropriate level of abstraction in terms of its attributes and functions. NOTE 1 An object is characterized by its behaviour. An object is distinct from any other object. An object interacts with its environment including other objects at its interaction points. An object is informa
31、lly said to perform functions and offer services (an object which makes a function available is said to offer a service). For modelling purposes, these functions and services are specified in terms of the behaviour of the object and of its interfaces. An object can perform more than one function. A
32、function can be performed by the cooperation of several objects. NOTE 2 Objects include terminal devices (e.g., used by a person to access the network such as mobile phones, Personal computers, etc.), remote monitoring devices (e.g., cameras, sensors, etc.), information devices (e.g., content delive
33、ry server), products, contents, and resources. 3.1.3 ubiquitous networking ITU-T Y.2002: The ability for persons and/or devices to access services and communicate while minimizing technical restrictions regarding where, when and how these services are accessed, in the context of the service(s) subsc
34、ribed to. NOTE Although technical restrictions to access services and communicate may be minimized, other constraints such as regulatory, national, provider and environmental constraints may impose further restrictions. 3.2 Term defined in this Recommendation None. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This

38、owed and from which no deviation is permitted, if conformance to this Recommendation is to be claimed. The keywords “is prohibited from“ indicate a requirement which must be strictly followed and from which no deviation is permitted, if conformance to this Recommendation is to be claimed. The keywor
39、ds “is recommended“ indicate a requirement which is recommended but which is not absolutely required. Thus, this requirement need not be present to claim conformance. The keywords “is not recommended“ indicate a requirement which is not recommended but which is not specifically prohibited. Thus, con
40、formance with this Recommendation can still be claimed even if this requirement is present. The keywords “can optionally“ indicate an optional requirement which is permissible, without implying any sense of being recommended. This term is not intended to imply that the vendors implementation must pr
41、ovide the option, and the feature can be optionally enabled by the network operator/service provider. Rather, it means the vendor may optionally provide the feature and still claim conformance with this Recommendation. 6 Ubiquitous networking in NGNs 6.1 Overview of ubiquitous networking The term “u
42、biquitous networking“ as defined in clause 3.1.3 is used for networking capabilities to support various classes of applications and services which require the “Any services, any time, any where and any objects“ operation using NGN-enabled capabilities. This networking capability should support perso
43、n-to-person, person-to-object (e.g., device and/or machine), and object-to-object communications. For object-to-object communication, an object delivers information (e.g., sensor-related information) to another object, with or without the involvement of persons. Figure 1 shows a general network conf
44、iguration for ubiquitous networking. Objects around us are connected to the network and communicate through the establishment of end-to-end connectivity between them. Objects which are not moving are called fixed objects. Objects which move from one place to another are called mobile objects. Logica
45、l objects (e.g., contents in a server, resources, etc.) are considered as entities to be connected. These objects are connected to an NGN via wired or wireless interfaces in a fixed environment (e.g., home, building, etc.) or mobile environment (e.g., vehicle). In particular, some physical objects (
46、i.e., fixed objects and/or mobile objects) are connected as logical objects through their virtual representation to be identifiable. A gateway can be used as an intermediate node between object(s) and a network. Depending on communication environment, a home network can reside in the position of gat

49、ironment capabilities Context-awareness and seamless capabilities Multi-networking capabilities End-to-end connectivity over interconnected networks. Among the specified capabilities, “connecting-to-anything“ is tightly related to functionalities on the end-user side of NGNs. This Recommendation focuses mainly on object-to-object communication to support the connecting-to-anything capability for ubiquitous networking on the end-user side. Rec.
