Home Networking in ITU-T
Yoichi MAEDA,Chairman of ITU-T SG15
On behalf of Convener ITU-T JCA-HN
Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) GSC-15
TSAG, at its February 2010 meeting, endorsed the continuation of the JCA-HN and appointed Mr. Richard Stuart as Convener along with Mr. Yoshinori Goto as Co-Convener.
Identifying and co-ordinating activity on Home Networking across all the relevant ITU-T Study Groups (ITU-T SGs 5, 6, 9, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17) and liaising with ITU-R (SGs 1 and 6).
Providing a visible contact point for Home Networking activities in ITU-T, seeking co-operation from external bodies working in the field of Home Networking and enabling effective two-way communication with these bodies.
Highlights of Current Activities (1)
JCA-HN web site: http://itu.int/ITU-/jca/hn has been extensively updated.
The JCA-HN along with Q4/SG15 have successfully engaged with a number of external home networking bodies and have obtained their agreement to collaborate with the ITU-T on home networking.
Included in these are: HomeGrid Forum, Broadband Forum, Universal Powerline Association, ITU-R, IEC, NIST, IEEE and others.
Highlights of Current Activities (2)
ITU-T continues to develop a number of home-networking related, including: • G.9960 - The PHY layer for the home network• G.9961 - The DLL layer for the home network• G.9970 - Co-existence for the home network• G.9971 - Requirements of transport functions in IP
Home Networks
The JCA-HN continues to encourage co-operation with other home-networking bodies.
Strategic Direction
G.hnem is a new project which: will develop a new Recommendation ITU-T G.9955
Home Networking Aspects of Energy Management to complement the G.9960/G.9970 series of Home Networking Recommendations.
will include a narrowband PHY/DLL specification and an upper layer protocol specification, which will consider the work being done in other organizations. There is goal to consent the architecture, PHY and DLL parts of G.hnem at the February 2011 SG15 meeting.
Challenges
Home Networking is becoming ever more important and will play a vital role in applications to reduce home energy consumption (e.g. smart grid, smart metering) and hence help in the fight against climate change, but at the same time there is a proliferation of solutions.
There must be an increased effort to encourage Home Networking standardization bodies to work together to bring about global solutions.
