An unprecedented look into the present and future of next generation networks, services, and management in the telecommunications industry

The telecommunications industry has advanced in rapid, significant, and unpredictable ways into the twenty-first century. Next Generation Telecommunications Networks, Services, and Management guides the global industry and academia even further by providing an in-depth look at current and developing trends, as well as examining the complex issues of developing, introducing, and managing cutting-edge telecommunications technologies.

This is an orchestrated set of original chapters written expressly for this book by topic experts from around the globe. It addresses next generation technologies and architectures, with the focus on networks, services, and management. Key topics include:

Opportunities and challenges of next generation telecommunications networks, services, and management

Tri/Quad Play and IP-based networks and services

Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security (FCAPS) requirements

Convergence and an important convergence vehicle, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)

Next generation operations and network management architecture

Ad hoc wireless and sensor networks and their management

Next generation operations and network management standards from a strategic perspective

A defining look at the future in this field

This book will serve as a contemporary reference for the growing global community of telecommunication and information professionals in industry, government, and academia. It will be important to faculty and graduate students of telecommunications as a graduate textbook.

IP has a major role in the evolution of networks and services. Issues relating to end-to-end network and service management which offers advanced services, are addressed in this book; making it a defining work on this topic.

A leading-edge reference, this collection of original chapters from prominent experts in the field brings you a superb presentation of the latest in telecommunications network management. Thorough and up-to date, Telecommunications Network Management into the 21st Century covers the timely application of forward-looking network management techniques, which is the key to fully realizing future industry capabilities. Topics covered include principles of network management, network management protocol standards, domestic and international OSI management standards, and more!

"This volume brings together the full range of topics intelecommunications network management, including the evolution ofmanagement techniques and first-hand accounts of managementexperiences in new technologies and services. The reader willunderstand how information modeling and distributed management helpin simplifying network representation, introducing computingplatforms, where necessary, and offsetting operationscosts.Telecommunications Network Management is key to successfullykeeping up with the increasingly market-driven telecommunicationsfield. It covers a wide range of topics from the evolution ofmanagement techniques to the experiences of management in newtechnologies and services. Where the authors' previous book,NETWORK MANAGEMENT INTO THE 21st CENTURY, introduced networkmanagement techniques, standards, and applications, this bookcovers the implementation of these concepts in today'stelecommunications industry. Foremost experts in the field havecontributed all original material for this important book that willprovide the reader with experiences in implementing managementinfrastructures for information networking."
