9、-T Y.2239 Requirements for information control networks and related applications Summary An information control network (ICN) is a logical network providing services over digital television infrastructure characterized by high-reliable data transfer, service management and traffic control. ICN allow
10、s the organization of a trusted environment for the provisioning of mission-critical services, such as emergency management, e-government, e-commerce and e-health, by introducing the ICN operator as a single point of service management. The usage of the digital television infrastructure is effective
11、 in terms of large geographical area coverage. Where next generation network (NGN) is available, ICN typical deployments combine the usage of digital television infrastructure with NGN for an increased service offer while reducing NGN bandwidth requirements for service users (this is extremely relev
12、ant for areas not covered by broadband access). Recommendation ITU-T Y.2239 provides a description of ICN and general characteristics of ICN applications. It then describes requirements of ICN applications and specifies extended or new NGN capability requirements based on the identified requirements

15、Telecommunication 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 a
16、nd tariff 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
17、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 technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Re
18、commendation, 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., intero
19、perability 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 tha

27、rol networks (ICN) that provide services utilizing digital television (TV) infrastructure, focused on high-reliable data transfer, service management and traffic control. ICN allows the organization of a trusted environment for the provisioning of mission-critical services, such as emergency managem
28、ent, e-government, e-commerce, e-health, by introducing the ICN operator as a single point of service management. This Recommendation provides a description and general characteristics of ICN applications, i.e., applications which use the capabilities of ICN. It also describes requirements of ICN ap
29、plications and, based on the identified requirements, specifies extended or new next generation network (NGN) capability requirements with respect to the NGN capabilities as described in ITU-T Y.2201. The scope of this Recommendation includes: an overview of ICN including business roles for the prov
30、isioning of ICN applications; general characteristics of ICN applications; requirements of ICN applications; requirements of extended or new NGN capabilities based on the requirements of ICN applications. NOTE This Recommendation covers the requirements of NGN capabilities for support of ICN applica
31、tions (typical deployment of ICN with NGN). The capability requirements of the whole ICN infrastructure (the digital television infrastructure is also used in a typical deployment of ICN) are out of scope of this Recommendation. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references c

It supports generalized mobility which will allow consistent and ubiquitous provision of services to users. 3.2 Terms defined in this Recommendation This Recommendation defines the following terms: 3.2.1 information control network (
37、ICN): A logical network providing services over digital television infrastructure characterized by high-reliable data transfer, service management and traffic control. NOTE Where next generation network (NGN) is available, ICN typical deployments combine the usage of digital television infrastructur
38、e with NGN for an increased service offer. In some technically justified cases, NGN may fully replace the digital television infrastructure. 3.2.2 ICN operator: The operator of ICN that provides and manages the ICN services and controls their service provisioning. 3.2.3 ICN service: A service provid
39、ed to the ICN users via ICN. 3.2.4 ICN user: A person or organization which obtains ICN services from the ICN operator. 3.2.5 mission-critical service: A service whose failure or disruption will result in serious damage to the users of the service. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation us
40、es the following abbreviations and acronyms: HbbTV Hybrid Broadcast Broadband Television ICN Information Control Network NGN Next Generation Network QoS Quality of Service TV Television 5 Conventions In this Recommendation: The keywords “is required to“ indicate a requirement which must be strictly
41、followed and from which no deviation is permitted if conformance to this document is to be claimed. The keywords “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 “can option
42、ally“ and “may“ indicate an optional requirement which is permissible, without implying any sense of being recommended. These terms are not intended to imply that the vendors implementation must provide the option and the feature can be optionally enabled by the network operator/service provider. Ra
43、ther, it means the vendor may optionally provide the feature and still claim conformance with the specification. The terms “ICN application“ and “ICN service“ are used interchangeably. 6 Introduction 6.1 ICN overview The term “ICN“ as defined in clause 3 is used to name logical networks that are eme
44、rging in order to meet security, reliability, quality and other requirements of applications. Rec. ITU-T Y.2239 (02/2016) 3 NOTE 1 The services provided via ICN to users are termed as “ICN services“ and the users as “ICN users“. Typical ICN deployments use digital television infrastructure to delive
45、r data to the ICN users and a reverse asymmetrical ICN channel for the transmission of ICN service requests from ICN users (in cases where the reverse asymmetrical ICN channel has sufficient bandwidth, it may be also used for the exchange of other ICN service data from and to ICN users). The usage o
46、f the digital television infrastructure is effective in terms of large geographical area coverage. On the other hand, such universal coverage might still leave some sparsely populated areas with no convenient access bandwidth, limiting the possibilities of service offer in these areas. While broadba
47、nd access is generally used for the reverse asymmetrical ICN channel, in such areas the reverse asymmetrical ICN channel can still be implemented and services offered via ICN. ICN allows the organization of a trusted environment for the provisioning of mission-critical services, such as emergency ma
48、nagement, e-government, e-commerce and e-health, by introducing the ICN operator as a single point of service management. There are major differences in the models of provisioning of mission-critical services in comparison with those of other services, e.g., entertainment services provided by hybrid
49、 broadcast broadband television (HbbTV) b-ETSI TS 102 796: service provisioning for mission-critical services often results in some irrevocable actions in the physical world (e.g., initiation of goods transportation, health equipment activation, etc.), considerable financial transactions and/or legally significant actions (e.g., filling in of an income declaration). Therefore, the cost of error or poor quality of service is much higher for mission-critical services than other services; diversity of ser
