Technology Challenges
 Reinforcing the Layer 2/Layer 3 Infrastructure
– IMS requires high levels of stability, availability, and consistency across network
elements, such as DNS and IP topology.
– New requirements for OA&M, redundancy, backup, signaling, bearer traffic, VPN, may
require significant changes to existing network models.
 Securing the IMS
– The distributed nature of IMS creates new requirements for a distributed security
implementation.
– IMS must provide: Confidentiality, Communications integrity, Privacy, Availability.
 Performance Engineering for the IMS
– The distributed nature of IMS, along with new traffic characteristics & services, require
new planning models.
– Encompassing: Element-level view, Application-level view, End-user quality-view,
Aggregate (core network) view
 IMS Interoperability
– Interoperability testing becomes increasingly more complex as the number of elements
& vendors in the solution grows.
– Key criteria include: Manufacturer/model/revision, Service/product definition,
Usage scenarios, Required features, Existing infrastructure.

Organizational Challenges
1. Convergence isn’t just about technology
 Changes in the technology are prompting
carriers to consider organizational
convergence
2. Processes & best practices need to be
standardized across organizational
boundaries
 “Carrier grade” operations processes must
apply to resources that may be owned &
maintained by IT personnel

Future
1. Cost savings may be a driver, but it may take a while to get there
2. Fault resolution across multiple network and access domains

Troubleshooting becomes more complicated

Demarcation points need to be clear

Migration Program Challenges & Risks
Major program schedule delays are caused by
– Failure to commit to key architectural decisions
– Changing priorities due to changes in drivers & business case
– Insufficient Attention to Transport, Network Databases, Signaling/IN, OSS
– Lack of Coordination among Multiple Vendors
– Inadequate Program Management
Operational Issues during Transition
– Provisioning, Billing, Maintenance
• OS Migration Must Account for Transitional Network
• Dual Provisioning
• Database Synchronization
– Customer Care, Fault Resolution, Troubleshooting
Impacts
– Customer Dissatisfaction, Increased Operational Costs, Delayed Revenue

Best Practices
1. The importance of the Solution Architect


Maintains purity of IMS technical vision
Provides technical leadership across multiple functional and
organizational teams
2. Strong Program Management is essential

Set firm dates for milestones and push hard to stay on schedule
3. Maintain the appropriate lab facilities

Minimum of two labs - one for current environment, one for next
release
4. Formalize interactions across vendors, internal orgs, and partners


Develop detailed interface specifications with all interested parties at
the table with written commitments for specific responsibilities
Formalized IMS program joint-ownership sessions
5. Institute a “Solution Management” function

Multivendor IMS is a reality, carriers need a way to ensure integrity of
the solution over time

A Service Scenario: Insurance claims investigation
Bill, a claims rep. is at the site
of a serious bus accident.
Mary
Ann, his administrative assistant,
covers his calls after two rings.
Mobile Office extension &
call pick-up
1.
Mary, the president of the bus company, calls Bill’s number. The call rings
on both Ann’s and Bill’s phones (presence enabled simultaneous ring).
2.
Ann picks up the call for Bill after two rings
3.
Ann notes on her ActivePhonebook display that Bill’s availability status is
ok to accept only urgent calls via push-to-talk. She considers this urgent
as she also knows his location from the iLocator display.
4.
Ann contacts Bill using click/push-to-talk service (VoIP to Wireless). Bill
gives his approval & Ann uses “click-to” transfer the call to Bill.
5.

A Service Scenario: Insurance claims investigation
(Continued)
Bill
Mary
Bill is talking to Mary on his 3G
phone device about the accident.
Mary wants to understand quickly if her company is at fault.
1.
Bill initiates a Push-to-Show session with Mary showing the likely cause
of the accident is a faulty bolt that caused the wheel to fall off.
2.
He then instant messages Ann for any records on recent claims
related to faulty bolts. Ann file transfers the record abstracts.
3.
Mary looks up the bus’s maintenance record. It might be a manufacturing
defect on the bus. She file transfers a copy to Bill’s phone.
4.
Bill and Mary decide they need to bring a bus representative into the
discussion, they click-to-conference in the bus sales representative.
