Abstract

This paper proposes a general architecture for the Next Mobile Network (NMN). NMN is composed of four planes: Advanced Mobile Access (AMA), Optical Mobile Network (OMN), Virtual Mobile Network (VMN), and Service Delivery Network (SDN). AMA, OMN, and VMN are revolutionary additions while SDN is an enhancement of that found in the All-IP network as SDP (Service Delivery Platform). NMN aims at offering sophisticated services along three service directions, "Multimedia", "Ubiquitous", and "Global". This paper describes the research being done on key NMN component technologies, e.g., advanced radio transmission, mobility management over the optical and virtual network, and ubiquitous service management.
