  12. (6.3) NGN Security Objectives • TISPAN NGN has to meet a set of comprehensive and fundamental NGN security requirements • to ensure a secure and trustworthy environment for customers, network operators and service providers • TISPAN NGN Security Release 1 is based upon IMS security • needs to enhance IMS security as appropriate and necessary TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  13. NGN Security - Status Quo • There is a real need to investigate on overall security of NGN • is being addressed in the TISPAN NGN Security Architecture & Requirements TS • Current status: • capturing NGN security goals, objectives and requirements • Security requirements and NGN-IMS security gap analysis expected to be stable by September 2004 TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  14. Some crucial NGNSecurity Issues of Joint Interest • There will be new IMS security requirements from TISPAN NGN • from “fixed NGN” space • due to “convergence” • Some potential hot areas: • Security for supporting xDSL (cable?) scenarios, • Interdomain security, • interworking of various security mechanisms, • Terminal or user authentication (or both), • HW-based (UICC/USIM/ISIM/SIM) and/orSW-based authentication, • Smooth NAT/FW traversal, • Various, unique identities in the NGN environment, • Single-sign on? • (E2E) media protection, … TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  16. Desired Collaboration with 3GPP What is the most productive way of collaboration on NGN-IMS security affairs? • SA3 could be the primary point of contact for liaison activity on security • other 3GPP SA groups may need to be involved too • Liaisons with IMS security requirements are expected from September 2004 onwards... TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  17. (6.3) Security Backup Slide TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  19. QoS related issues • 6.5 Bearer QoS Classes Dave Mustill (BT Group plc)TISPAN WG5 Chairmandave.mustill@bt.com TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  20. (6.5) TISPAN WG5 QoSQoS in an NGN Environment • QoS and Network Performance • Evolution – from PSTN to NGN • Where Are We Now? • QoS in TISPAN_NGN R1 • Bearer Service NP Classes • Conclusions TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  21. QoS and Network Performance • QoS is an end-to-end issue • Includes terminal and user’s local network • Metrics are parameters sensed by user (e.g. delay, echo, distortion) • Network Performance is UNI-UNI issue • Metrics are bit/packet related (e.g. delay, jitter, packet loss, error rates) • TIPHON confused the two terms – we are trying to be a lot more rigorous in TISPAN. TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  22. Actual Performance • Packet loss in high bit rate (core) networks is low (~0.1%) • Delay variation in high bit rate core networks is low compared to fixed delay element • The main NP problems are in the access networks which are expensive and low bandwidth • QoS depends very much on the terminal (e.g. the interactions between the codec and the network) • We have very little practical knowledge of effects of jitter variations on new codecs TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  23. Terminals Significance of impairments Networks Time Monopoly era Liberalised era NGN era Evolution – from PSTN to NGN TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  24. General Principles of Apportionment • Applies to NP not QoS parameters • OK for fixed impairments but need to avoid unlikely worst cases imposing too tight limits • Only a help if we know how to design network to achieve limits • Impairments caused by random events that are not correlated in all networks may need to be treated differently (under discussion in STQ & WG5) TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  25. Where Are We Now? • We understand • NP for 64kbit/s circuit switched channels • How to design circuit networks to achieve NP • Interactions of circuit switched channels with low rate codecs • QoS for 3.1 kHz speech (E-model) • Packet handling techniques that improve performance • We do NOT understand • Interactions of packet transmission with new codecs • Interactions of terminal and network signal processing • How to specify NP on IP infrastructure e.g. jitter spectrum • How to design packet networks to achieve NP (relation between network load and performance) particularly at bandwidth bottlenecks • Level of improvement from packet handling techniques and network “QoS” mechanisms • QoS for wideband speech TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  26. QoS in TISPAN_NGN R1 • The TISPAN_NGN should be able to support a wide range of services with defined levels of QoS. • In order to support the required levels of QoS TISPAN will define bearer service NP classes and means of achieving them: • QoS control mechanisms • QoS control architecture • QoS control signalling TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  27. Layered Nature of NP & QoS • TISPAN WG5 will specify three levels of “QoS”: • Network Performance of the bearer service between UNIs • End-to-end QoS of monomedia application components (e.g. delay, speech quality, picture quality) • End-to-end QoS of some multimedia application specific parameters (e.g. lipsync) TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  28. Bearer Service NP Classes • TIPHON QoS specifications were focused on end-to-end QoS • In an NGN environment, the network performance at the bearer service level should be taken into account • Bearer services are characterised by their NP parameters and their “bandwidth” • The initial focus of TISPAN_NGN will be on bearer service NP Classes, based upon the uses to which the bearer services will be put • These classes should be based on the ITU-T Y.1541 “IP Network QoS classes” and 3GPP TS 23.107 “UMTS QoS classes” TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  29. ITU-T and 3GPP QoS Classes (1) • TISPAN WG5 views both ITU-T and 3GPP approaches to IP QoS classes as classes of network performance • There are discrepancies between the two sets of classes which both set out to define a minimum set of QoS classes for the support of a variety of applications on an IP bearer • The main discrepancy is the fact that the 3GPP classes place no requirement on the control of IP packet delay variation (jitter) TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  30. ITU-T and 3GPP QoS Classes (2) • Long term harmonisation of the two sets of classes is desirable • In the shorter term the TISPAN WG5 view is that there are two possible approaches that could be adopted in TISPAN: • support of both sets of classes (giving ten in all) • defining an interworking/mapping function (where 3GPP class x would map to ITU-T class y as a call passed from a 3GPP to an NGN domain) • Even in the short term it will be necessary to determine a way of assessing how much jitter and delay a call will have when handed over from a 3GPP network to an NGN TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  31. QoS Summary • Almost all of our knowledge on QoS and NP is based on circuit-switched narrowband speech. • We need implementation experience to develop our knowledge of the QoS and NP requirements of packet-based networks. • There is an urgent need to work on the harmonisation of the 3GPP and ITU-T bearer QoS classes.

  32. Gq interface ssues • 6. 6 Resource allocation and Policy control Leonardo Finizola e Silva (Alcatel) leonardo.finizola_e_silva@alcatel.be Jörg Ottensmeyer (Siemens) joerg.ottensmeyer@siemens.com TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  33. (6.6) Using Gq in TISPAN • Gq Interface is located between Multimedia Subsystem(s) and Resource and Admission Control Subsystem (RACS) • Gq is used by different subsystems (not only IMS) and multiple Access Networks • Gq is used to access the following function: • Resource reservation • Admission Control • NAT Control • Gate and Policy Control TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  34. (6.6) Gq Extensions • Support for network initiated resource reservations • Besides Pull Model the Push model shall be supported. • Support for requesting Address and Port Translation • Parameters for NAT type of scenarios., e.g. • interworking of different (private/public) IPv4 address spaces, query and allocate NAT bindings • Possibly IPv4/IPv6 interworking • Gate control and service and network policy control • Parameters to access those functions TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  35. SIP Profile issues • 6.10 Potential impacts on SIP profile Sébastien Garcin (France Telecom)TISPAN SIP Work Item Rapporteursebastien.garcin@francetelecom.com Ray Forbes (Marconi)TISPAN WG3 (Protocols) Chairmanraymond.forbes@marconi.com TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  36. Inherent differences between NGN IMS and 3GPP IMS • Wireline versus Wireless: • Constraints in terms of bandwidth scarcity, security, transmission delay are different. • Terminals: • Different requirements placed on NGN terminals (e.g. support of IPv6, availability of UICC device) • Location Information: • Location information different in nature and usually not available at the terminal. • Resource management: • Explicit resource reservation signalling not available in terminals and access network edge points • Common ressources shared between the signalling and media flows • Regulatory issues : • Different constraints TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  37. Potential impacts on 3GPP TS 24.229 • Relaxing the constraint on IPv6 • Potential impact on P-CSCF procedures (modification of IP adressing in SIP messages) • Access call server discovery: since IPv4 is supported, extensions to DHCPv4 should be considered • Relaxing the constraint on UICC availability in UE • Alternative (probably weaker) SIP authentication procedures may have to be taken into account • Impact on trust placed in the terminal • Difference in bandwidth and transmission delay constraints • SIP compression seen as optional for the UE • Indication of RTCP stream bandwidth in SDP usually seen as optional for UE • SIP timers to be re-considered • Geographic location information • Need to update SIP information format (currently P-Access-Network info) • P-CSCF may have to insert this information in SIP messages • Should not be systematically removed by the S-CSCF (for location-dependent services triggered from the called party’s S-CSCF) TISPAN-3GPP Workshop - Sophia-Antipolis

  38. Potential impacts on 3GPP TS 24.229 • Administrative domain of the P-CSCF • Not only sent at registration phase but also at session establishment phase • Subject to privacy • Differences in resource reservation procedures • P-Media-Authorization headers not required, impact on Preconditions signalling • Need for SIP body filtering procedures in P-CSCF • No dedicated transport channel/resources for signalling in xDSL access • Overriding presentation restricted user information to authorized parties • Due to regulatory reasons • Support of SIP-aware residential gateways • Impact on security association and NAPT scenarios • SIP support for overlapp sending?
