1 SOURCE: TITLE: AGENDA ITEM: CONTACT(S): GSC-13 logo (placement TBD) ATIS IPTV Standards Development via IPTV Interoperability Forum (IIF) Theme

2 Highlight of Current Activities (1) Developing standards to define a standardized access-agnostic interoperable IPTV Currently focusing on Phase 1 requirements and specifications (implementation of a standard TV service experience over IP networks). Recently completed work: Packet Loss TR completed, providing proposed solutions and recommendations for IPTV services. Requirements for IPTV Architecture and Digital Rights Management. ATIS High Level Architecture for IPTV. Single common scrambling algorithm as foundation for Digital Rights Management (DRM) interoperability. QoS Metrics and Measurements for IPTV completed which defines common conceptual framework and definitions for all network and service types and instances. Theme 2

3 Highlight of Current Activities (2) Currently building out specifications for deployment of Phase 1 IPTV Architecture for standardized linear broadcasting over IPTV. Parallel work on 9 documents initiated in Architecture Task Force. Metadata and Interoperability & Testing Task Forces created to continue to focus on the needs of the industry. Metadata specifications in progress to define metadata required for Phase 1 IPTV linear broadcasting. Testing and interoperability issues of IPTV specifications (self test, plug fests, etc.) under consideration. Contributed all of its draft and approved standards to the ITU-T to support international IPTV standardization. Working closely with global liaison partners. Developed 8 standards in under 2 years of existence (see slide 11) currently in draft format. Theme 3

4 Strategic Direction (1) The ATIS IIF standards development has been defined in three phases: Phase 1: Implementation of a standard TV service experience over IP networks. Phase 2: Transaction-based services, such as VoD (Video on Demand), IPPV (Impulse Pay-Per-View). Phase 3: Interactive TV services, including consumer originated video, multiplayer games. Whenever possible, IIF standards align with the work of other SDOs, including the ITU-T, DVB, CEA, DSL Forum, and ETSI. Continue with SDO and ITU-T coordination and collaboration. Established important relationships with all of the leading organizations working in the IPTV realm to share our end-to-end view of the standards being developed. Theme 4

5 Strategic Direction (2) ATIS IIF is developing standards within and across all of the domains. Content Provider Service Provider Network Provider Consumer Support both the IMS and web services approach to IPTV in the NGN framework. The IIF s High Level Architecture shall allow for both core IMS and non-ims approaches for IPTV in the NGN framework. The core IMS and non-ims approaches shall be able to co-exist on the same NGN framework. The core IMS and non-ims approaches shall use common components where possible. Timely completion of deliverables to support early deployment of standardized IPTV. Source: IPTV Architecture Requirements, ATIS , May 2006 Theme 5

6 Challenges Significant discussion on use of IMS and Web Services. IIF supports two different directions for IPTV -- a core IMS direction and a non-ims direction (web services). Dual architecture approach requires additional work in the development of standards. Continue to meet the needs of stakeholders in a timely manner. Theme 6

7 Next Steps/Actions Complete currently defined work program (Phase 1 work, per IIF Architecture Requirements and Roadmap). Initiation of Phase 2 & 3 specifications (VoD, itv, etc.). Continue IPTV OSS/BSS work program. Continue to work cooperatively with external organizations, especially the ITU-T, on aligning efforts and work products. Theme 7
