GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications TIA Engineering Subcommittee TR-30.3, Data Communications Equipment Evaluation and Network Interfaces TR-30.3 recently completed ANSI/TIA-921, “Network Model for Evaluating Multimedia Transmission Performance Over Internet Protocol”  This new standard is in the publication cycle Undergone over two years of work to ensure that the model accurately depicts how IP networks behave Model’s characteristics have been favorably compared to actual network traces and performance measured by, and provided to the committee, by several network operators This model has already been used in commercially available test equipment for testing network-connected devices Work has also been presented to TIA TR-41, User Premises Telecommunications Requirements and has been introduced to ITU-T Study Group 12 as Contribution toward a potential ITU-T Recommendation (P.VTQ) TR-30.3 is now expanding its work with the next revision of the standard to include network models for wireless and cable IP GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

TIA Engineering Subcommittee TR-34, Satellite Equipment & Systems In 2005, TR-34 completed development of TIA-1039-A, “QoS Signaling for IPv6 QoS Support” After incorporating certain revisions, this standard was balloted and approved IPv6 QoS Option Field in TIA-1039 requests QoS for network setup QoS Signaling Protocol Extensions Enables End-to-End QoS setup with IP GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications TIA Engineering Subcommittee TR-34, Satellite Equipment & Systems (Continued) Committee TR-34 also looked at how Connection Control Protocol (C2P) inputs from ETSI/DVB could be utilized in a Satellite Network Modem System standard TR-34 took the lead in developing TIA-1088, “Satellite Network Modem System (SNMS) Mesh Control Protocol,” which was approved for balloting in 2005 TR-34 continues to work toward the publication of a joint TIA and ETSI C2P standard for DVB/RCS Further refine standard to determine how connection request profiles relate to channel capacity and how Return Channel Satellite Terminal (RCST) determine their rate parameters from the profiles Also be important in the future to ensure that the C2P standard will support important functionality such as QoS, encryption and the generation of dummy traffic GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications TIA Engineering Subcommittee TR-45, Mobile and Personal Communications Systems Standards Committee TR-45/3GPP2 continues to progress QoS developments to support real-time services, including speech Latest Revisions of TIA-2000 and TIA-856 utilize an all-IP based architecture QoS of internet access QoS management QoS support for Wireless Packet Data Networking in cdma2000® QoS development also for EGPRS-136 GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications
