Introduction and purpose

This Recommendation specifies how the IPCablecom2 E-UE Provisioning Framework can be used to configure and manage Embedded UEs (E-UEs) supporting the IPCablecom2 Residential SIP Telephony (RST) application.

The IPCablecom2 architecture provides a generic Provisioning Framework for E-UEs, but requires IPCablecom2 application efforts such as RST to specify application-specific requirements and data models. This Recommendation specifies such requirements and the data model for the IPCablecom2 RST application. It also specifies the requirements and a data model for E-DVAs, a specific E-UE type specified by IPCablecom2.

It is an important objective of this work that interoperability between IPCablecom 2.0 and 3GPP IMS is provided. IPCablecom 2.0 is based upon 3GPP IMS, but includes additional functionality necessary to meet the requirements of cable operators. Recognizing developing converged solutions for wireless, wireline, and cable, it is expected that further development of IPCablecom 2.0 will continue to monitor and contribute to IMS developments in 3GPP, with the aim of alignment of 3GPP IMS and IPCablecom 2.0.

NOTE - The structure and content of this Recommendation have been organized for ease of use by those familiar with the original source material; as such, the usual style of ITU-T recommendations has not been applied.
