Definitions
- the present invention relates to an arrangement to interconnect user and service providers, and more exactly such an arrangement to, independent of qualities of different carrier services or specific networks and access forms, transmit information between users and service providers.
- the invention provides on the one hand an interface with specified qualities which can be changed dynamically, and on the other a connectivity network which includes management system and the physical transmission equipment .
- To-day services which are delivered via the telephone network, the Internet, the Cable-TV network etc are tailor- made to the network or the carrier which transmits the service from the service provider. By that the services will be totally dependent on the qualities of a specific network and the system will be locked both from the user's and the service provider's point of view.
- the present invention solves this problem by providing a common, general control level between the user and the service provider.
- connectivity products with different performances which can be adapted dynamically to different requested services are offered.
- the connectivity products have uniform standardised interfaces both to the user and the service provider .
- the present invention provides an arrangement of the above mentioned kind to interconnect users and service providers .
- the invention includes interfaces which have specified qualities to respectively interconnect the user and the service provider with a connectivity network which transmits the information between the user and the service provider.
- the interfaces are dynamically adaptive and have adaptive management qualities.
- Figure 1 is a diagram over a structure in layers of services and networks according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a block diagram which describes the relation between user, service provider, and telecommunications operator according to the invention.
- Figure 3 is a diagram over the construction of a connectivity product according to the invention.
- Figure 4 is a general diagram over the arrangement between user and service provider according to the invention.
- Figure 5 is a diagram similar to Figure 4, with details of a connectivity network according to the invention.
- a connectivity provider has only one product field to charge the service provider for, namely to transmit multimedia information between endpoints of the connectivity network either point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, or multipoint-to-multipoint.
- the new concept of this invention is that these two basic products can be packeted in different ways to specific connectivity products by varying bandwidth, traffic parameters and quality parameters (Quality of Service; QoS) and add qualities depending on need, to be tailor-made for a service provider's services.
- Examples can be connectivity products which support IP-telephony, VLAN- services, TCSL-LAN, video conference, Internet-access, e- mail, film distribution, interactive multimedia games etc.
- These specific connectivity products are of a dynamic character; they can be created and deleted at short notice depending on the multimedia-services they shall support.
- bandwidth are : • Medium high bandwidth: Everything from narrow band to the order of several Mbit/s on average for the end user service .
- Propagation delay The time which is allowed for information to propagate over the network.
- Delay jitter The allowed variation of delay in the connectivity. Mainly depending on delays in the queues in, for instance, IP-routers or ATM-switches.
- Loss rate The probability that data will be lost.
- traffic parameters are:
- bandwidth The maximal number of bits which will be delivered to the network.
- Burstiness Measure of the burstiness of the traffic which the end user service will deliver.
- the qualities which can be added to the specific connectivity products are:
- FCAPS- functionality i .e . Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, Security; consequently general management functionality belonging to a connectivity service.
- Mobility functionality i.e. terminal, personal respective session mobility for the connectivity service.
- the basic connectivity products with specifications plus possibly qualities are packeted as products to fit end user services which are offered by service providers, as is shown in Figure 3.
- the entry to the connectivity provider's connectivity network will only be through the specific connectivity products.
- the connectivity products can be accessed either via centralised interface via management system (called
- ConS-RP in Figure 4 and 5 for service providers, or via signalling directly towards the network elements (called TCon-RP in Figure 4 and 5) for the end users (CPE) .
- the connectivity provider's connectivity network consists of technology independent management systems, technology specific management systems, and the physical transmission equipment which consists of a heterogeneous collection of switches, transmission equipment and adapters belonging to different network technologies.
- the management systems the connectivity products which have been offered over the centralised interface which is called ConS-RP in Figure 5, are implemented.
- the connectivity products over TCon-RP are principally implemented in the network elements as today.
- the invention can be used in all interactive and distributive end user services which telecommunications operators will produce, if they have arranged their activity in layers for service providers and connectivity providers.
- the invention is only limited by the following patent claims.
