ZTE Provides IPTV for China Netcom
ZTE Provides IPTV for China Netcom
Beijing Netcom commences full-fledged IPTV testing, using the state-of-the-art video codec called H.264.
Beijing Netcom, the Beijing branch of China Netcom, is Bejing´s largest fixed-line telecoms carrier and Internet service provider. It has the greatest technical and economic strength among China Netcom´s affiliated telecoms companies and constitutes one of the most important markets for China Netcom. As it has a leading role, it is regarded as an industry wind vane for operators. It was significant that China Netcom was to try IPTV in its Beijing network and this was the first IPTV project China Netcom put out to tender, although trials had been started without a tender process in other areas such as northern Shanxi Province and northeastern Harbin city.
Fixed-line operators cannot stop the erosion of their voice business by VoIP and mobile services but while they are faced with challenges, they are also offered new opportunities. Maintaining sustainable growth, ARPU and profits will be major tasks. Transforming and reinventing their businesses, bringing more services and capabilities to the market are regarded by the industry as inevitable requirements for further development. IPTV deployment is seen by global fixed-line operators as a major focus to enable new revenue growth.
Beijing Netcom planned to build an IPTV trial network that could cater to 50,000 customers and support 10,000 concurrent IPTV application users. The first bidding documents were issued to IPTV equipment manufacturers in December 2005.
ZTE, Huawei, UTStarcom, Alcatel Shanghai Bell and Siemens signed up to tender for the project. ZTE walked away a winner in February 2006 because of the company´s extensive technical experience in the audio and video field and its complete IPTV solution which provides innovative, integrated and high quality services. ZTE was to install this first ever IPTV trial for Beijing Netcom using the advanced H.264 digital video encoding standard.
Beijing Netcom has now started the trial operation of IPTV in some areas of Beijing and will enlarge the service coverage area over the next year. Named Broadband Space, the IPTV service is available at present for residents with telephone numbers starting with 8495. Apart from accessing current cable TV channels, these IPTV users can choose to watch seven or eight channels of programs provided by Beijing Netcom, including sports, entertainment and interactively requested programmes.
ZTE´s solution for Bejing Netcom is centred around the following areas:
Fig. 1 Architecture for service layer platform
The ZTE IPTV system can provide characteristic and competitive services (Fig. 2) such as VoD, information services and video communication services which can bring operators substantial and sustainable revenue streams. The new network was planned to provide subscribers with TV on demand (TVoD), Subscription Video-on-Demand (SVoD), live TV, time-shifted TV, interactive games and karaoke in the initial stage. Information services, instant messaging, e-business and e-government will be rolled out gradually. The system can integrate with existing billing systems, enabling a unified platform and process for subscriber management, billing and cost calculation.
Fig. 2 Services provided by China Netcom´s IPTV system
In this project, ZTE adopted the most advanced H. 264 solution which can deliver IPTV services through broadband networks including xDSL, LAN, WLAN.
The H.264 standard offers a wide range of application areas such as Global Eye System, videoconference, video phone, VoD, live TV and mobile TV. It is also a standard that will play a great role in consumer electronics such as HDTV, STB, digital TV and personal video recorders (PVRs).
The new industry standard H.264 reduces networks´ bandwidth requirements. Given the same bandwidth, the network can therefore reach more users. Especially in a DSL provisioning scenario, H.264-based compression technology increases the available subscriber lines by 30 percent. The use of H.264 can also greatly improve picture quality at any given bit rate. It can deliver high definition video within from 5Mbps to 8Mbps of bandwidth compared with MPEG2 which requires 15Mbps bandwidth to deliver the same quality video.
Its highly efficient use of bandwith and low delay for real-time service make it easily adaptable to IP and mobile networks. The adoption of H.264 can save on equipment costs in every part of the network including streaming severs, storage and the bearer network. This codec has been fully developed and tested and is ready for large-scale commercial use.
China Netcom´s H.264 IPTV system can provide subscribers with the following services:
As the H.264 codec is capable of freeing up transmission bandwidth and alleviating the impact of delivering video content on the bearer network, it can help operators reduce network construction costs and has therefore drawn wide attention from operators in China. Now, most leading IPTV vendors are engaged in development and application of the H.264 video compression standard.
The Shanghai Research Institute of China Telecom carried out IPTV internal testing in August last year, in which mainstream telecoms vendors like ZTE participated. After the test, China Telecom began to consider the adoption of H.264, while before this the most popular standard in China was MPEG-4 ASP. China Telecom subsidiary Shanghai Telecom has also launched an IPTV trial based on H. 264.
ZTE has installed other trial IPTV networks including a 100,000 subscriber contract for the Jiangsu Branch of China Telecom and others for the Yunnan, Shaanxi and Guangdong branches of China Telecom. ZTE has incorporated the H.264 coding standard in Jiangsu Telecom´s IPTV commercial network, further showing that this technology has matured and can be widely used in IPTV systems.
ZTE´s IPTV system features a telco grade solution, reliable content and service management platforms, a stable and scaleable video content distribution network and user-friendly terminals.
The IPTV contract with Beijing Netcom may signal the beginning of a broader cooperation with China Netcom. ZTE not only has the largest share of IPTV trials in Chinese market to date, but also has trials in Europe and Latin America making ZTE one of the most successful and experienced IPTV vendors in the world.

ZTE's High-Reliability IPTV System Solution
ZTE's High-Reliability IPTV System Solution
Since 2008, the IPTV business has grown rapidly both at home and abroad. In China, Shanghai Telecom and Jiangsu Telecom have deployed large-scale IPTV systems, and have both grown subscriber bases of over one million viewers. With the expansion of IPTV networks, the key to attracting subscribers and increasing operating revenue is to provide reliable and efficient IPTV services. In order to satisfy the high reliability needs of operators running IPTV, ZTE has developed a high-reliability solution, drawing on a wealth of experience in large-scale IPTV network commercialization for Shanghai Telecom and Jiangsu Telecom. This solution guarantees access to IPTV services, and quick recovery of normal IPTV services under all circumstances.
ZTE’s IPTV system employs a 3-layered network structure including a provincial center node, regional center nodes, and edge nodes. The provincial center node is responsible for operation, management, and dispatch of the whole IPTV system; the regional center nodes dispatch IPTV services within the regions and manage edge nodes; and the edge nodes provide IPTV services to subscribers according to the system dispatch.
Considering all abnormal cases that may occur during system operation, ZTE has rolled out a high-reliability IPTV system solution. First, the IPTV system provides backup for key parts and enables automatic switching in the event of failure. Second, the system adopts a distributed node architecture and dynamic dispatch mechanism to ensure service reliability at each node. Third, the system supports a remote disaster recovery mechanism using double provincial centers, so that when one provincial center fails, the remote can quickly take over. The system can be recovered without any loss of service.
Hot Backup for Key Parts
As the provincial center node is responsible for operation, management, and service dispatch for the whole IPTV system, its normal operation is important for ensuring reliable services. Key parts of the provincial center node include Call Detail Record (CDR), Database (DB), Portal, Content Distribution Network Manager (CDN-Manager), Control Processor (CP), and Master Electronic Program Guide (Master EPG). All these parts are hot backup-ed to ensure smooth service provision in the event of failure. In particular, the Master CP for user service handling is configured in hot backup mode; it monitors the status of other CPs and assigns tasks to them based on load conditions (see Figure 1). In this way, the system can handle a large number of concurrent user requests during large scale commercialization.
Furthermore, Livecast Server—as a key part of the IPTV system—also provides complete backup protection, with all functional boards configured in hot backup mode. Normally, key data is automatically synchronized between the master and salve boards.
Distributed Node Architecture and Dynamic Dispatch Mechanism
ZTE’s IPTV system adopts a distributed node architecture, in which a hierarchical relationship among all serving nodes (the provincial center node, regional center nodes, and edge nodes) is established. The provincial center node monitors other serving nodes in the system. Based on the observed data for equipment status and traffic load, the provincial center node can dispatch resources dynamically to meet user requests. This can avoid service interruption caused by equipment failure or a highly-unbalanced traffic load, and can effectively enhance system stability and reliability.
Remote Disaster Recovery Mechanism Based on Double Provincial Centers
Under the dynamic dispatch of the provincial center node, both regional center nodes and edge nodes work with and depend on each other to deliver reliable IPTV services. Although the provincial center node—the core of the IPTV system—provides hot backup for its key parts in order to ensure service reliability, its stand-alone operation (independent of other layers) could eventually lead to system collapse in the event of disasters such as earthquake, fire, or flood.
To eliminate the risks associated with independent operation at the provincial center, ZTE’s IPTV system supports double-center networking, and provides hot backup for system operation data and management links connected to subordinate nodes. In general, a backup provincial center is built at a remote location. If the serving provincial center is rendered inoperable by disaster, the backup provincial center will rapidly assume responsibility for operation, management, and node resources of the fault center. Normal IPTV services will continue to be delivered.
Typical Self-Healing Process
In case of disaster or equipment failure, ZTE’s IPTV system can implement self-healing through a reliability mechanism. Described below are some typical cases.
In the case of media server failure
Live broadcast is a basic IPTV service, and live streams are generally introduced by a live broadcast server. After the conversion, the live broadcast server sends or multicasts the coded streams to subscribers. A live broadcast is completed in this way. In ZTE’s IPTV system, all functional boards of the live broadcast server are configured in hot backup mode. If any blade of the server fails, the backup blade will automatically take over, and quickly resume multicasting while alarms are sent to the network management center.
In the case of EPG server failure
When a user logs in, an EPG server based on the user’s IP address is generally chosen by the IPTV system in order to offer services. In practical operation, however, the user might not access IPTV services after the login because of EPG server failure. Because ZTE’s IPTV system adopts a distributed node architecture and dynamic dispatch mechanism, it can monitor the status of all servers and judge whether the selected EPG server is operating normally when a user logs in. When the EPG server is found faulty, the system dispatches another EPG that runs smoothly and has a dependent relationship with the faulty EPG to offer IPTV services.
In the case of provincial center failure
With the double-center structure, the system administrator can initiate the takeover process through the backup provincial center in order to enable system self-healing when the serving provincial center fails or is destroyed by disaster. The switching operations performed by the system administrator involve:
■ Switching operation data: the backup provincial center takes over operation and management of the faulty provincial center.
■ Switching functional nodes: all regional center nodes and edge nodes connected to the faulty provincial center are switched to and managed by the CDN-Manager of the backup provincial center.
Through the above operations, all users, regional center nodes, and edge nodes are switched into the backup provincial center, and the system can recover normal operation.
Conclusion
Responding to the trend of large-scale IPTV commercialization, ZTE has drawn on its rich experience in IPTV technology research and network commercialization to launch a high-reliability IPTV system solution. This solution adopts an advanced design concept and takes into full consideration equipment, node, and system reliability. It not only paves the way for large-scale deployment of IPTV business, but also helps ZTE maintain a leading poison in the industry.
