A change of Paradigm A change of Paradigm IP based signaling is service oriented. Different players can improve the service offering and application richness, but they have to deal with overall Interoperability. p y Return on infrastructure investment still remain linked to the capacity to offer commercial services with the network deployed and this is key for future investments. investments NEED TO BALANCE Focus on services of infrastructure 8 Focus on ecosystem y service/application richness
From Complex Standards Complex ICT standards are increasingly specified by islands of standards From different standardization bodies Or developed for a different (original) use Complete system not specified in detail Results in potentially non interoperable 9 standards and/or products 9

ETSI and Interoperability 11 Standardisation enables interoperability One main aim of standardisation is to enable interoperability in a multi vendor, multi network, multi service environment interoperability is the red thread running through the entire ETSI standards development process Interoperability is specified from the beginning g Not something bolted on at the end ETSI philosophy h Interoperability should be built in!

Typical Causes of Non interoperable Standards Requirements notwell identified ormissing Ambiguous requirements Varying technical quality and use of language Inadequate handling of options Lack of clear system overview Loosedefinition ofinterfaces (reference points) Poor maintenance Using standards beyond their original purpose 14 Next Generation Services- RCS, VoLTE and Beyond Kranj, Slovenia
Poor Interoperability Can be Expensive Bad publicity For the technology For the manufacturer Annoyance to the end customer Damage to brand name Loss of customer base Allegiances change rapidly May affect uptake of new technology Loss of investor confidence We can no longer afford to get it wrong! 15 Next Generation Services- RCS, VoLTE and Beyond Kranj, Slovenia

TOWARDS A PERMANENT VALIDATION SYSTEM 25 ETSI 2011. All rights reserved
Why Validate Standards? Validation reveals problems/errors in Standards and Products Validated d standards d give a higher h chance of interoperable products Assurance that theyprovide the right functionality Gives manufacturers and operators confidence to implement and go to market Provides an opportunity to correct errors in a controlled manner Decreases time to market Late fixes in the product cycle are more expensive than early ones 26 Next Generation Services- RCS, VoLTE and Beyond Kranj, Slovenia
Validation of Standards... Time Products mature from prototypes to commercial products Interoperability Events Prototyping Modelling and Simulation Peer Review Development of Base Standards 27 Next Generation Services- RCS, VoLTE and Beyond Kranj, Slovenia
Validation through IOP Events ETSI Plugtests events Open to members and non members Aim is to validate standards Feedback (Change g Requests) ) to relevant technical bodies A tool to develop and mature standards But testing and debugging are useful by products Vendors validate their understanding of standards and their implementation Achieve in one week what would otherwise take months Promote technology and community Developnewideas ideas, confirm existing ones 28 Next Generation Services- RCS, VoLTE and Beyond Kranj, Slovenia
Towards a permanent Validation Maturity of the Standard Event 1 Event 2... Event nn Events 29 Next Generation Services- RCS, VoLTE and Beyond Kranj, Slovenia
Conclusions 30 There is a change in the ecosystem moving to VoLTE Validation of Standard needs to become e continuous process that uses events to drive mass market ETSI has the know how in Testing and Validation to form the pillars for solid, robust standards d that t ensure interoperability ETSI has specialised ili skills for production of test tspecifications and organising Interoperability events ETSI is recognised as world leader in TTCN 3 test language g ETSI has already organised more than 100 interoperability events TC INT is the technical committee in charge to develop Conformance interoperability perfomance and security for 3GPP and E2NA 30
