| Project | Title | Description | Resources | Editors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WT-369 | The User Services Platform | This document describes the architecture, protocol, and data model that builds an intelligent User Service 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. The Data Model Schema and Data Model Objects for USP are developed in the BUS Data Modeling Project Stream (below). | TBD |
CWMP
Project Stream Page: CWMP Project Stream Project Stream Leads: John Blackford (CommScope) Description: This project stream manages the development, maintenance, and updating of the CPE WAN Management Protocol, commonly known as TR-069.
| Project | Title | Description | Resources | Editors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
WT-069 Amendment 6 Corrigendum 1 | CPE WAN Management Protocol | This Working Text defines an update to version 1.5 of the CPE WAN Management Protocol, incorporating Issues that have been promoted to accepted by the time of straw ballot. | John Blackford, CommScope |
BUS Data Modeling
Project Stream Page: BUS Data Modeling Project Stream Project Stream Leads: William Lupton (Broadband Forum) and Daniel Egger (Axiros) Description: This project stream develops the data model objects to manage connected devices using the CPE WAN Management Protocol and/or the User Services Platform. In addition it defines the data model schema and the necessary tool support.
| Project | Title | Description | Resources | Editors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WT-181 (DEV2DM) | WT-181: Device Data Model | WT-181 Issue 2 defines version 2 of the Device Data Model (Device:2) for TR-069 Endpoints and USP Agents. This includes an overview document and XML files that model interfaces, systems, and services in connected devices. WT-181 Issue 2 Amendment 14 is currently in progress. | Document | TBD |
WT-106 | WT-106: Data Model Template for CWMP Endpoints and USP Agents | WT-106 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 defines an XML Schema (the DM 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 also defines an XML Schema (the DT Schema) that allows a device to describe its supported data model. 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; this mechanism is specified in TR-369. WT-106 Amendment 10 is currently in progress. | Document | Jason Walls, QA Cafe |
| WT-104 (VOIPDM) | WT-104: Voice Service Data Model | WT-104 includes an overview document and XML files used for the VoiceService data model, used in modeling VoIP service functions on a TR-069 Endpoint or USP Agent. There is currently no active development version of WT-104. | Tim Spets, Greenwave | |
WT-135 | WT-135: Set Top Box Service Data Model | WT-135 includes an overview document and XML files used for the STBService data model, used in modeling Set Top Box service functions on a TR-069 Endpoint or USP Agent. There is currently no active development version of WT-135. | William Lupton, BBF | |
| WT-140 (NASDM) | WT-140 includes an overview document and XML files used for the StorageService data model, used in modelling Network Attached Storage service functions on a TR-069 Endpoint or USP Agent. There is currently no active development version of WT-140. | John Blackford, CommScope | ||
| WT-196 (FAPDM) | WT-196: Femto Access Point Service Data Model | WT-196 includes an overview document and XML files used for the FAPService data model, used in modeling Femto Access Point (or Small Cell) service functions on a TR-069 Endpoint or USP Agent. There is currently no active development version of WT-196. | TBD | |
| WT-354 (DMR) | WT-354: Connected Home Data Model Report Tool | WT-354 will describe a new CWMP and USP data model processing tool. This new tool (written in python) will be well-structured, maintainable, and will encourage collaborative development. The new tool will replace the old tool (written in perl). | William Lupton, BBF | |
| WT-143 (PERMON) | WT-143: Enabling Network Throughput Performance Tests and Statistical Monitoring | WT-143 outlines the theory of operations for Network Service Providers to initiate performance throughput tests and monitor data on IP interfaces of CPE and end-user networking devices using the mechanisms defined in TR-181 (the Device Data Model) and operated via the CPE WAN Management Protocol (TR-069) or the User Services Platform (TR-369). WT-143 Amendment 2 is currently in progress. | Bitbucket (same as WT-181) | Jason Walls, QA Cafe |
| WT-473 (DMYANG) | WT-473: YANG Translation for CWMP / USP Data Models | WT-473 will document translation rules and tools for converting the WT-181 data model to two YANG schema representations: (1) Monolithic generic YANG model that is structured as faithfully as possible to the XML model and (2) YANG modules that would be suitable for implementations that can integrate with other YANG Modules - e.g., IETF-defined YANG modules. | Andrew Patka, Verizon |
Wi-Fi In-Premises
Project Stream Page: Wi-Fi In-Premises Project Stream Project Stream Leads: Evan Sun (Huawei) Description: This project stream exists to define requirements, test cases, and performance metrics for broadband user Wi-Fi deployments in the home, in order to improve the end user experience and reduce operator support expenses.
| Project | Title | Description | Resources | Editors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WT-398 (WIFIPERF) | Wi-Fi In-Premises Performance Testing | The primary goal of WT-398 is to provide a set of test cases and framework to verify the performance between AP (e.g., a CPE with Wi-Fi) and one or more STA (e.g., PC). The test cases are defined for a Device Under Test (DUT – AP only), tested against a or a set of STA. The DUT should not be a reference design and should contain the necessary system functionality to execute this test plan. | Lincoln Lavoie, UNH-IOL | |

Compliance Testing
Project Stream Page: Compliance Testing Project Stream Project Stream Leads: TBD Description: This project develops test plans and certification guidelines for standards created by the BUS Work Area.
| Project | Title | Description | Resources | Editors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ID-069 | Specification | |||
CWMP Data Model Verification Test Plan | The purpose of ID-106 is to provide a set of test cases, which will be used as a common testing language during CWMP CPE certification. | Document | ||
CWMP Interoperability and Functionality Test Plan | In order to ensure the continued growth of the TR-069 market and further the interoperability of the protocol, the Broadband Forum is creating a TR-069 Certification Program. Within this program, devices implementing a TR-069 management interface may be tested for their conformance to the TR-069 specification and various use cases. The TR-069 Certification Program started with the TR-069 Conformance Test Plan and now the CWMP Data Model Implementation Test Plan. To provide a consistent scope for this verification, BBF developed these test plans that are to be used by the testing agencies in the verification process. This Internal Document provides a test plan that may be used to verify Interoperability of a CPE Device with an ACS Server through use cases. | Specification | ||
| WT-469 | Conformance Test Plan for USP Agents | Testing is crucial to promoting the interoperability and adoption of standards. To meet this, the Broadband Forum regularly produces test suites that validate the conformance of implementations of their standards. This specification defines the test setup, test procedures, and test metrics to validate Agent and implementations of the User Services Platform (USP), published as BBF TR-369. This purpose of this document is to provide a definitive guide for validating the compliance of USP Agents in accordance with the specification. The tests defined below are intended to validate the specific requirements outlined in the USP specification, as well as those requirements defined in the Device:2 Data Model for USP Agents for objects, parameters, commands, and events necessary for the operation of USP. | Jason Walls, QA Cafe |
