A enhanced service management architecture for the NGN
Xianxin Jiang, Fangchun Yang, Hua Zou · 2004
Future multi-service networks will be extremely large and complex. The management of a service can be divided into two parts, the service independent part and service specified part. It is difficult to manage the service specified part of every service in a same way, but it is possible to reuse some management functions to manage the service independent part of every service. This paper represents an enhanced service management architecture (ESMA) in which all services of the next generation networks (NGN) can be managed in the same way by reusing the same service independent management functions. This paper discusses these service management functions and gives architecture to organize them.
