scope:

This Recommendation covers extensions to NGN release 1 capabilities in order to support tag-based identification applications and services in the NGN environment and builds upon [b-ITU-T Y.Sup1] and [ITU-T Y.2201].

The scope of this Recommendation is limited to tag-based identification applications and services distinguished by the following three mandatory elements: ID tag, ID terminal and Identifier. These applications and/or services use identifiers only read from ID tags by ID terminals.

This Recommendation covers:

• description and scope of tag-based identification applications and services with some example scenarios;

• high-level service requirements of tag-based identification applications and services; and

• extended or new NGN capabilities based on the high-level service requirements.

Functional requirements and related NGN architecture extensions for support of the described capabilities are out of scope of this Recommendation.
