Report framework • Summary of interoperability user requirements • Generic recommendations • Specific recommendations for interoperability improvement
Survey of the user requirements on interoperability • Users from Belgium, France, Italy, India, UK, • 19 face to face interviews and 3 email inquiries • Market area • Administration 2 • Bank 2 • Insurance 1 • University 2 • Utility (Railways, Power) 5 • Service provider 3 • Consumer organisation 1 • Telecomm Business User organisation 2 • Telecomm User organisation 2
Report framework • Summary of interoperability user requirements • Generic recommendations
Principles for an interoperable communication environment (1) • Addressing the terminal: Checking network independent terminal addressing • Addressing the user: • Unified Communication Identifier development • Login: Unified login procedure implementation • Authentication harmonization: • a user configurable login and password • other more sophisticated means on the user choice • Directories: Common directory data modelling with appropriate protocol to ease the information exchanges
Principles for an interoperable communication environment (2) • Management: • An effective and unified management of heterogeneous networks • Users' profile management interoperability • Billing management interoperability • Common QoS data modelling • Security: Checking security infrastructures interoperability • Interoperability check: an automated procedure for Interoperability failures identification
Principles for service interoperability • Identification of terminal capabilities suited to access a service • Principles for choosing the terminal suited to access a service • Table 1: Terminal capabilities • Table 2: Minimal terminal capabilities suited to access a service • Definition of a list of services candidate to a committed interoperability(Table 3) • Principles for application interoperability: Agreements on common data modelling
Table 2: Minimal terminal capabilities suited to access a service
Report framework • Summary of interoperability user requirements • Generic recommendations • Specific recommendations for interoperability improvement
Terminals • Keyboard layout • Backward interoperability • A single communication handling
Access • VoIP over every network • LAN, GPRS, xDSL Interoperability • Roaming • Interoperability of voice communications over Wi-Fi • Data transmission across fixed/mobile networks • Signalling across fixed/mobile networks
Service • Interoperability of the supplementary services • A SMS/email acknowledgement • Interoperability of prepay services • A standard video format for mobile phones
B2B/B2C • CTI/CRM Interoperability • LAN/WAN/Cellular Interoperability (on Board R-LAN, GPRS and WiFi)
Teleconference • Unique H.323/SIP profile/interpretation • Minimum bandwidth availability
Emergency call location • Emergency call location should be based on terminal location and not on user address
