Work Area Overview
Mission Statment:
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 |
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

Applicability of RESTCONF and NETCONF for CPE Management
Service Providers are increasingly interested in using YANG as common data modeling language with NETCONF/RESTCONF as the protocol for managing all devices in a service provider network, including CPE devices. Some Service Providers are interested in deploying NETCONF as single protocol for managing the devices, while others tend to consider RESTCONF as the protocol of choice for CPE device management. This Study Document helps the Service Provider understand the suitability of these protocols by providing an objective analysis that brings clarity about the applicability of these protocols for the described Use cases and their associated requirements.
CWMP Data Model/YANG Translation Rules and Tools
This document describes the processes and rules that can be used to translate a TR-069 Device:2 data model to a YANG data model. The rules are intended to be implemented in a tool that can automate such translation.
Limitations of such a translated data model will also be described, as well as identifying how to leverage standardized YANG models created by other organizations, where those YANG models overlap with functionality defined in TR-069 data models.
Some service providers have expressed an interest in managing CPE or virtualized CPE-functionality using either netconf or restconf. By providing a YANG rendition of the TR-069 data model, such service providers (and their vendors) can have some consistency between the TR-069 and YANG models.

Device Data Model for TR-069
TR-181 Issue 2 defines version 2 of the TR-069 Device data model (Device:2). The Device:2 data model applies to all types of TR-069-enabled devices, including End Devices, Residential Gateways, and other Network Infrastructure Devices. It represents a next generation evolution that supersedes both Device:1 and InternetGatewayDevice:1.

Best Practices for Deploying TR-069 - Whitepaper
Home networks are usually installed, operated, and owned by the end user, who in a few cases is an expert, but most likely will have relatively little knowledge of network technologies, and little time or patience to diagnose problems should they occur. However, these end users expect their home networks to reliably support the delivery of a wide variety of Internet services and applications. The user may encounter unacceptable performance of the applications they use due to home network misconfigurations, noise or interference that impacts the behavior of home networking technologies, or other problems. Home network problems often cause Internet services and the users applications to underperform or stop altogether, causing end users to call the Internet Service Provider (ISP) help desk.
While ISPs possess tools to manage their own core and access networks, management of home network problems often requires different tools and techniques. Gathering home network specific information may be required and interpreting this information to arrive at a remedy for a problem can require specific expertise. This Marketing Report provides an overview of some of the tools and techniques that can aid an ISP or Network Operator in diagnosing the cause of home network related performance and reliability issues that affect the quality of experience of their customers. The application of these tools is described for specific use cases.

Data Model Template for CWMP-Enabled Devices and USP Agents
WT-106 Amendment 8 specifies data model guidelines to be followed by all CWMP Endpoints and USP Agents. These guidelines include structural requirements for the data hierarchy, requirements for versioning of data models, and requirements for defining profiles.
In addition, WT-106 Amendment 8 defines an XML Schema that as far as possible embodies these guidelines, and which is used for defining all CWMP and USP data models. This makes data model definitions rigorous, and helps to reduce the danger that different implementations will interpret data model definitions in different ways.
WT-106 Amendment 8 also defines an XML Schema that allows a device to describe its supported CWMP data models. This description is both specific and detailed, allowing a Controller to know exactly what is supported by the device, including any vendor-specific objects and parameters. Use of this Schema enhances interoperability and significantly eases the integration of new devices with a Controller. USP uses a different mechanism for the same purpose. That mechanism is specified in TR-369.

User Services Platform (USP)
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).
