Fixed and Mobile Convergence: First wave

• Originally: convergence of telephony voice services
• Voice call redirec5on and seamless handover between

Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs) and Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTNs).

• Mo5va5on: Reduce costs
• Switching equipment CAPEX and OPEX is high
• Fixed–mobile Convergence Alliance 2004–2010
• Founded in 2004, disbanded in 2010
• Consumers struggled to find a need for the technology
• Intent to move to ‘All IP’ infrastructure
• SIGTRAN protocol family:

the ‘All IP’ version of the SS7 telephony signalling system

• SCTP: Stream Control Transmission Protocol
• Reliable, message-based protocol for signalling
• complements UDP and TCP

Fixed and Mobile Convergence: Second wave

• The communica5on landscape has transformed with the

appearance of game-changers

• Smartphones (e.g. iPhone: 2007) and tablets
• Cloud storage, so[ware as a service (e.g. Google Docs: 2007)
• Social media (e.g. Myspace: 2003, Facebook: 2004, Twi^er:

2006)

• Media sharing (e.g. YouTube: 2005)
• The focus shi;ed from voice to data
• The volume of data increased drama5cally
• Content delivery is important!

Fixed and Mobile Convergence: State of the art

• TISPAN: Telecoms and Internet converged Services and Protocols for

Advanced Networks

• Generic framework
• IP MULTIMEDIA SUBSYSTEM (IMS)
• Realised within the TISPAN framework
• Put voice telephony to the Internet
• Services, APIs, terminals
• Some vendors:
• CISCO: fixed–mobile convergence for voice
• Google Fi: Over-the-top service using exis5ng mobile and Wi-Fi infrastructure
• Swisscom: Mobile—Wi-Fi integrated services
• Ap5lo: Wi-Fi authen5ca5on using mobile creden5als
• Unlicensed mobile access
• 3GPP + BBF + Wi-Fi Alliance are working closely
• Ongoing work on EPS, 4G, 5G, Internet of things, machine-to-

machine communica5on, automo5ve communica5on
