The objective of this Recommendation is to provide requirements and capabilities for a service integration and delivery environment (SIDE) in NGN (NGN-SIDE) in order to support the following main functionalities in the NGN-SIDE ecosystem:

– integration of resources from different domains (e.g., telecommunication domain (fixed and mobile networks), broadcasting domain, internet domain or content provider domain) over NGN;

– adaptation, including abstraction and virtualization, of resources from different domains;

– resource brokering for mediation among applications and resources;

– support of the application development environment for application developers;

– support of different service interfaces across ANI, UNI, SNI and NNI for exposure of NGN-SIDE capabilities and access to resources in different domains;

– provision of mechanisms for the support of diverse applications including cloud services, machine-to-machine, and ubiquitous sensor network (USN) applications;

– provision of mechanisms for the support of applications making usage of context based information;

– provision of mechanisms for content management.

In this Recommendation, clause 6 provides an overview of the NGN-SIDE ecosystem, clause 7 describes the NGN-SIDE functional framework, clause 8 identifies NGN-SIDE requirements, clause 9 describes NGN-SIDE capabilities, clause 10 provides NGN-SIDE interface requirements, clause 11 provides security considerations and Annex A provides relationship between capabilities of NGN-SIDE and [ITU-T Y.2234].
