16 July 2004 TN06-1-02_ASP_MAESTRO_V3.1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document contains technical note TN06-1-02 of the IST Integrated Project MAESTRO – Mobile Applications & sErvices based on Satellite and Terrestrial inteRwOrking (IST Integrated Project n° 507023).

MAESTRO project aims at studying technical implementations of innovative mo-bile satellite systems concepts targeting close integration & interworking with 3G and Beyond 3G mobile terrestrial networks.

MAESTRO aims at specifying & validating the most critical services, features, and functions of satellite system architectures, achieving the highest possible degree of integration with terrestrial infrastructures. It aims not only at assessing the satel-lite systems’ technical and economical feasibility, but also at highlighting their competitive assets on the way they complement terrestrial solutions.

This note, initiated by ASP, should help all MAESTRO partners to share a com-mon terminology.

1 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to gather:

Common Terminology and Definitions,

Common Abbreviations,

Common Architectures of Reference, illustrating the different points of view and levels of architecture of the SDMB; it is illustrated with UML architecture dia-gram embedding specialised icons for a more attractive representation.

Moreover, this document contains some additional sections:

To decline how the SDMB functions could be classified within the UE and BM-SC sub-systems, taking into account their heritage 2G/3G,

To provide an example of a high level operational scenario based on architec-ture concepts previously introduced,

To propose a classification and naming for the SDMB services.



2 TERMS, DEFINITIONS, ABBREVIATED TERMS AND SYMBOLS

2.1 Terminology and definitions BM-SC Means the BM-SC as defined for MBMS and including specific SDMB

features

Cell Means the Terrestrial mobile network cell

Content File or data stream transmitted by the SDMB system and possibly (for the Download service) completed by terrestrial retransmissions

Download service A service that delivers some multimedia content with loose time con-straints. The service is best map on 3GPP defined background traffic class capability.

End User The End user owns the terminal, subscribes to the MNO & Mobile Por-tal services

Groupcast service A service offered to end-user allowing to send in a cost efficient way the same content to a group of users. This may include streaming or download.

Mobile IP datacast service A push service that delivers a set of Multimedia content to several re-cipients. The service includes information, which allows the user equipment to process the content according to the end-user’s rights and terminal capabilities. The access to the service may be restricted to a certain group of users which may have to pay a fee. It includes stream-ing, download as well as groupcast services.

Relevant content A multimedia content which is expected to interest the end user with respect to its user preference profile.

Service area Refers to the area where the SDMB services are available. Basically it is defined taking into account a set of satellite spots providing the Euro-pean coverage.

Spot area Corresponds to the areas covered by a satellite spot beam. There is not necessarily a service continuity between two spot areas. We assume that the same data is datacast in a spot area and it differs from the data datacast in other spot areas.

Streaming service A service that delivers some multimedia content with real time con-straints. It may refers to TV or radio type of services. Such service is manually activated by the end-user. Content are played as soon as received by the end-user terminal. The service is best map on 3GPP defined streaming traffic class capability.

Terrestrial mobile network The terrestrial mobile network(s) on which the SDMB system relies.

UE The UMTS/GSM User equipment modified to include SDMB features.

User preference profile The description of the SDMB-content related user preferences in the UE.

3 ARCHITECTURES OF REFERENCE

3.1 General overview

The following figure illustrates the different concepts of architecture which could be useful along the MAESTRO study.

It’s aim is to propose a common vocabulary avoiding further ambiguous interpreta-tions.

These concepts represent different points of view allowing to consider back/white boxes in accordance to the domain of interest.

For example:

Some end-to-end scenarios, could consider the “Operational System” contour to focus on the User, resp. Content Provider, interactions.

The ”Core System” contour may be useful to focus on the UE behaviour against the User interactions, whatever the underlying media (terrestrial or sat-ellite); an example is suggested in section �5.

The “SDMB system” gathers the “SDMB infrastructure” plus the UE and BM-SC ”SDMB enabled”; the section �4 uses these contours to propose a partition-ing of the functions across the SDMB system components.

Names are TBC (particularly “Core System”).
