4 High Level Model
4.1 Overview
In this clause, a general contextualization of Subscription Management within TISPAN is given. This clause is
organized with an initial textual description, followed by a general diagram which aims to depict the "SuM High Level
Model".
The goal of SuM within the current TISPAN release is to provision the NGN functional entities with all information
related to a specific subscriber in order to allow its users to use their services.
The objective of the high level model is the identification of candidate entity groupings that need to be modelled,
possible relations between those groupings and the associated candidate attributes.
The High Level Model does not specify any information model, but is used as the basis for the design of the SuM
Information Model.
A Subscriber is an entity that is engaged in a subscription with a Service Provider. One or more Users can be associated
to a subscriber, who is allowed to subscribe and unsubscribe services, to register a user or a list of users authorized to
use these services, and also to set the limits relative to the use that associated users make of these services.
ETSI
9 ETSI TS 188 002-2 V2.0.0 (2008-03)
An NGN Subscriber subscribes to NGN Services (e.g. VoIP, VoD, etc) and directly or indirectly to a set of Network
Accesses (xDSL, etc.) This subscription covers two different aspects:
• Subscription to the NGN Services.
• Subscription to Network Accesses.
A relationship between NGN services and network accesses is established, in that it is possible to "enjoy" specific NGN
services over specific network accesses.
The NGN Subscriber is engaged in a Subscription with a Service Provider. The NGN Subscriber may also be engaged
in a subscription with a Network Access Provider.
The entity which uses the NGN subscribed services/accesses is the User. The subscriber is responsible of the
assignment of services/accesses and rights to its users.
Each user may be associated to multiple subscribers, and one subscriber may be associated to multiple users.
All the parameters related to the services and/or network accesses subscribed by the subscriber are included in a profile
related to the subscriber. All the parameters related to the services and network accesses assigned to the user are stored
in a profile related to the user. There is a relation between services assigned to the user and which network accesses on
which these services can be used by the user.
In order to use the NGN services, the user must proceed as follows:
1) Authenticate at Transport Layer: This transport layer may be the one provided by the Service Provider or
may be another network access (in case of nomadism or roaming). In order to use the transport layer, the user
must provide credentials in order to allow the authentication and authorization procedures with the NASS
(network attachment subsystem). Network attachment through NASS is based on implicit or explicit user
identity and authentication credentials stored in the NASS (see ES 282 004 [4]). On one network access, the
user may use same credentials independently of the services he wants to launch.
2) Authenticate at Service Layer: allow the service provider to identify and authenticate the user at a service
level. Within this phase, the user is authenticated by the service provider thanks to authentication procedures
and to the credentials provided by the user.
3) Authenticate at Application Layer (Optional): this optional step enables the application provider to identify
and authenticate the user for enabling his access to specific applications. Within this phase, the user is
authenticated by the applications provider thanks to authentication procedures and to the credentials provided
by the user.
4) Usage of the Service/Application: Once the user is authenticated and authorized at service/application level,
he can use all the services/applications assigned to him by its subscriber.
The relationship between the users, its access credentials and service/application credentials is the following:
1) For each network access and for each user, credentials are associated.
2) For each user, multiple service/applications credentials are associated.
According to this description, a general contextualization of the TISPAN Subscription Management can be derived in a
"high level model", depicted by the following diagram.
For readability purposes, the following legend is proposed.

Figure1: TISPAN SuM High Level Model
As depicted in the precedent figure, a user may have one or several User NGN Service Profiles, which are a collection
of a service and user related data. A User NGN Service Profile can be either an IMS Service profile or of any other type
of Service Profile. Other type of Service Profile can cover Services offered by Applications Servers and Services
offered by other TISPAN NGN Subsystems such as IPTV Subsystem.
The candidate management entity "User NGN Service Profile" contains the attributes that are common for any type of
Service Profiles. For any type of service profile including IMS Service Profile, the associated candidate management
entity inherits from the User NGN Service Profile candidate management entity as shown in figure 2. For the IMS
Service Profile candidate management entity, the associated attributes are depicted in the figure 2.

4.2 Subscriber
The subscriber concept used in the present document is the same as the one defined in [2]. This concept which is
defined for both fixed and mobile network accesses is not handled (stored or modified) in the TISPAN NGN network
nodes. The subscriber is not in the scope of the present document, and is mentioned for clearness and consistency
purposes of the model.
4.3 User
A user is described by its characteristics/attributes, possibly including various identifiers. A user must be immutable
and, therefore, independent of any information that may change during the lifecycle of the user. In particular, it must not
depend on any service, any device, network access, credential, etc. A user may be associated with zero or more devices,
network accesses, credentials, contracts, etc. In addition, the change of/in devices, network accesses, credentials,
contracts, etc. must not lead to a change of identities. A user is defined to be long lasting. Life cycle of a user identity is
independent of several aspects:
• A user is not strictly bound to a particular contract subscription.
• A user is independent from any device.
• A user is independent from any network access.
A user is identified by a unique user identity described in the table below.
Attribute Definition
User Identity The User identity is the unique identifier of a user. The user identity is used only to refer to the user. It
shall not be used for other purposes (it shall not identify access resources, accounts, credentials…).
The user identity shall not be seen by the user.
