NGN ARCHITECTURE IMPLEMENTATION IN BSNL

•Telecom industry is changing at a rapid pace

•Demand of new services from subscriber’s side and urge to reduce CAPEX
and OPEX from carrier side
Three Kinds of Basic Networks
1.PSTN- Public Switch Telephone Network
For voice connectivity to wire line subscribers
Consists of local exchange/RSUs as a part of access network and TAXs as
a part of core network
2.PLMN- Public Land Mobile Network
To provide voice services for wireless subscribers
PLMN includes BTS/BSC as access network and MSC as a core network
NGN ARCHICTECTURE
DATA NETWORK :
o Basically for accessing remote files and servers for defence people and universities
o Basic and most popular application of data network is internet
o It is an assembly of routers which are responsible for forwarding information from one end
to other
Disadvantages :
1.The above networks are developed during different time zones
2.No sharing of infrastructure among them
3.All the 3 networks have their own service platforms
4.CAPEX and OPEX increasing to maintain 3 different networks
NGN VISION:
Next Generation Network is the frame work where
a) Operator will have a common network based on Internet Protocol for providing all kinds
of telecom services
b)Operator will install and maintain only single network
c) Vendor Independent
NGN DEFINITION

 Next Generation Network (NGN) is a packet based network to provide telecom services to
users and use of multiple broad band ,QoS enabled transport technologies in which service
related functions are independent of underlying transport related technologies

 NGN Architecture consists of transport ,access ,control and application layer

 Access Layer

 Access Layers is responsible for direct subscriber attachment function.

 NGN is capable of processing traffic originated from PSTN, GSM, CDMA, xDSL, WiMAX or any
other access system.
 Access Layer consists of Gateways. Example of gateways are media Gateway, Access gateway.
Signalling gateway.
 Media gateway terminates media, coming from PSTN/PLMN in E1 / STM. Access gateway is
nearer to subscriber. Subscriber can directly be terminated in Access Gateway.
 All the required configuration of such subscribers should be done at control layer.
NGN ARCHITECTURE
Transport layer
Transport Layer of NGN is based on IP. Transport Layer forms the core of the Network.
It basically consists of Routers, which are responsible for carrying traffic originated by
access layer. Traffic coming from gat ways is properly routed by those routers.
Control layer
It is responsible of call setup, routing and charging policies and other controls in NGN
environment. It consists of call servers where all information of the network resides.
These call servers are responsible for setting up, modifying, charging and tear down of
the calls. NGN may work on soft switch principle. It consists of MGC (Media Gateway
Controller) as an overall controller and MGs (Media Gateway) for termination of
traffic.
Application layer
It is responsible for OSS/BSS. Enhanced services to the subscribers will be provided
with the help of application servers. It may include prepaid servers, announcement
servers, Service servers etc.

PSTN is working on circuit switched NGN is working on packet switching.

PSTN provides excellent quality of voice NGN will provide good quality of voice
Vendor dependent Vendor Independent
NGN IMPLEMENTATION IN BSNL
BSNL has adopted phase wise methodology to migrate
all its exchanges to NGN Network and had given
tenders to various equipment vendors.
MIGRATION STRATEGY
Replacement strategy
It consists of replacing traditional PSTN equipment by
next generation equipment. This can be done in the
core of the network in order to provide further
capacity and to enable a better utilization of the
network resources, or/and at the edges of the network.
 NGN
Overlay Strategy
With an overlay strategy, the NGN network will
integrate current circuit-switched and packet-
switched technologies. The modern packet-based
overlay network will provide advanced services whilst
the circuit switched PSTN network will continue to
provide basic telephony services. Both networks will
remain interconnected via gateways as required by
specific types of services
MIGRATION STEPS
The migration steps would be as follows :
• Introduce IP in Transit network at Level-1 TAX locations (IP TAX
Project) - Class 4 NGN
• Extend IP network to Level-2 TAXs and large scale
implementation in Access Network. – Class 5 NGN
• Develop MPLS core at Circle and LDCA Level.
• Offer Voice and Multimedia services to Broadband Subscribers
using DSL, Optical Ethernet technologies.
IP Tax Project is the 1st step towards NGN. The name given to this
project has been IP TAX Project and is a class4 NGN
implementation. The equipment for IP Tax is provided by M/s ZTE.
