3. Copyright 2011: MultiService Forum VoLTE (1/2) VoLTE IOT Event planned for September 2011 Builds on the LTE/EPC executed in March 2010 Executes tests not performed at previous IOT event Validates GSMA Permanent Reference Documents IR.88, IR.92, IR.65 Joint event with GSMA – co-operation agreement signed VoLTE IOT officially announced at GSMA MWC in February 2011

4. Copyright 2011: MultiService Forum VoLTE (2/2) Scope of VoLTE IOT event completed. Five defined scenarios : VoLTE (compliant to GSMA PRD IR.92), Roaming & Interconnect, (compliant to GSMA PRD's IR.65 and IR.88), 2G/3G access to EPC via both legacy/S4-SGSN, Handovers (intra LTE & LTE 2G/3G), SON (Self-Optimising Networks).

5. Copyright 2011: MultiService Forum Network Robustness (1/3) Multi-part Work Item covering : N/W Monitoring, Congestion & Overload Control, Disruption Testing, Network feedback & instabilities, Prioritization, End-End QoS, inc. NNI QoS in particular

6. Copyright 2011: MultiService Forum Network Robustness (2/3) First IOT event, “P-IOT 2010” completed, November 8 th -19 th 2010 at NCS's XTC labs in Chantilly, Virginia P-IOT 2010 was the 1st of a series of planned IOT events and White Paper published February 2011 and liaised to i3Forum & GSMA. P-IOT 2010 focussed on the reporting / logging capability of SBGs (both access & n/w side) and includes: Voice sessions via an IMS core under varying load conditions Video sessions via an IMS core under varying load condition Data sessions under varying load conditions

7. Copyright 2011: MultiService Forum Network Robustness (3/3) Next phase of work currently being scoped out Feedback received from i3Forum in response to MSF liaison following P-IOT 2010 event Potential future topics: Testing PCRF under congestion, LTE & Metro Ethernet Congestion, Additional Operational Measurement & CRD analysis, Further NNI testing, IP6 testing on SBGs & IP4/IP6 inter-working.

8. Copyright 2011: MultiService Forum Content Delivery Networks Formal Work Item (WI) adopted in April 2010 Conduct Architectural Analysis and develop architectural framework for CDNs taking input from all SDOs LS received from ITU-T SG13 regarding (inter alia) CDN Functional Architecture Framwork Define Physical Scenarios and Test Cases for an IOT event IOT Event planned for Q2 2012

9. Copyright 2011: MultiService Forum NNI Performance Testing New WI agreed in Q1 2011 Study of IP NNI work in other fora Creation of a NNI Profile Considers both national & international IP NNI LSs sent to ATIS PTSC NG-CI, ETSI TC-INT, i3F & GSMA Define Physical Scenarios and test plans for future IOT events Initial scope of work looking at North American IP NNI based on ATIS specs - IOT event planned for Q4/11. Close co-operation with ATIS PTSC NG-CI Subsequent work to look at international IP NNI
