Excerpt

The Broadband User Services Work Area provides the broadband industry with technical specifications, implementation guides, reference implementations, test plans, and marketing white papers for the deployment, management, and consumption of services by the broadband end user. This Work Area represents the end user perspective when incorporating into the Broadband Forum architecture.

Work Area Directors: John Blackford, ARRIS, Jason Walls, QA Cafe

titleMore on Impact & Scope ...
Business Impact:

The Broadband User Services Work Area develops specifications and publications to create a new kind of the Broadband experience for the end user and provides new means for service providers and application developers to monetize the broadband user's connection. This ranges from on-demand performance assured business and entertainment services, IoT services related to energy, security, environment, etc. to user control of what can become the data center in the home and small business managed and control with zero- touch diagnostics. All of which opens up large markets and profitable business models.

Scope:
  • Develop and evolve the TR-069 CPE WAN Management Protocol and the User Service Platform (USP) to cover existing use cases, machine-to-machine/IoT use cases, and the virtualization of broadband user services, prioritized by their potential business value
  • Develop and specify new information models to broaden the range of for which TR-069 and USP can be used
  • Develop requirements for broadband user devices and associated software
  • Develop test plans and training programs for Work Area protocols and requirements
  • Develop marketing white papers that supplement Work Area protocols and requirements

User Services Platform (USP)

titleAbstract ....

This document describes the architecture, protocol, and data model that builds an intelligent User Services Platform. It is targeted towards application developers, application service providers, CPE vendors, consumer electronics manufacturers, and broadband and mobile network providers who want to expand the value of the end users network connection and their connected devices.

 This document describes:

  • The overall architecture of USP Agents, Controllers, and service elements
  • The proxy mechanisms for addressing non-USP service elements
  • Requirements for the transport protocol used to handle USP messages, and defined bindings for specific protocols.
  • The various USP messages, their requirements, and expected behavior patterns, along with on-the-wire encoding of USP messages
  • The protocol requirements for discovery, end-to-end security, authentication, and authorization
  • An explanation of the data model and how it is used to enable USP, service elements, proxying, and object defined operations

The objects necessary to implement USP are described in the Device:2 data model of the CPE WAN Management Protocol, (CWMP).
