<strong>Telcordia</strong> <strong>Generic</strong> <strong>Requirements</strong>: <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Offers</strong> Issue 3, September 2011<br />

<strong>Telcordia</strong> Invites Your Participation<br />

Funding participants will receive two revisions to <strong>GR</strong>-1100-CORE during <strong>2012</strong>. <strong>GR</strong>-1100-CORE<br />

files are delivered to funding participants in HTML electronic format.<br />

To proceed with this project, it is expected that <strong>Telcordia</strong> will need at least three industry<br />

participants. While the project can proceed with fewer participants, deliverables may change<br />

as a result. The participating industry members will be apprised regularly of project status and<br />

any changes in deliverables.<br />

Projected Start Date: January <strong>2012</strong> (subject to contracted participation level)<br />

Estimated Completion: December <strong>2012</strong><br />

Est. Project Fee: $45,000 (includes Enterprise License for <strong>GR</strong>-3058, Issue 8, and all<br />

SR and <strong>GR</strong> updates)<br />

Project Description: During 2011, <strong>Telcordia</strong> is rewriting <strong>GR</strong>-3058-CORE to align with the<br />

3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Charging Principles and other Next Generation<br />

Network (NGN) accounting standards now being adopted throughout the telecommunications<br />

industry. The resulting document, Issue 7 of <strong>GR</strong>-3058-CORE, will be released to industry in<br />

January <strong>2012</strong>. This document focuses on offline charging to support NGN fixed-line multimedia<br />

services based on the Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture<br />

defined by 3GPP.<br />

<strong>Telcordia</strong> proposes that a new issue (Issue 8) of <strong>GR</strong>-3058 (and related documents) be<br />

developed, with industry input and participation, to further refine the NGN accounting<br />

management approach for Voice over Packet (VoP) networks.<br />

<strong>Telcordia</strong> will maintain and update <strong>GR</strong>-3058, as well as other Automatic Message Accounting<br />

(AMA) <strong>Generic</strong> <strong>Requirements</strong> (<strong>GR</strong>) documents, to address recent industry developments such<br />

as impacts of NGN and distributed call-processing solutions, local carrier competition, IP<br />

network interfaces, optical technologies, and new forms of wireless access. <strong>Telcordia</strong> will<br />

provide AMA generic requirements updates in the form of a reissue of the impacted <strong>GR</strong><br />

document, an Issues List Report (ILR) containing specific requirements issues and proposed<br />

resolutions, or a Special Report (SR) related to evolving accounting management standards<br />

and architecture.<br />

<strong>Telcordia</strong> will provide a detailed analysis and strategic assessment of NGN accounting<br />

management procedures. Potential activities under this work program include the following:<br />

Assessing the strategic fit of NGN architecture and usage data collection solutions with<br />

evolving billing capabilities;<br />

Interpreting NGN accounting management standards and their impact on usage data<br />

collection and billing mediation;<br />

Evaluating the impact of alternative IP usage measurements protocols (e.g., Internet<br />

Protocol Data Record [IPDR], AMA, Diameter Accounting, and PacketCable Event<br />

Messaging) on NGN billing procedures;<br />

Defining guidelines for Charging Data Record (CDR) conversion and billing mediation; or<br />
