FMC(Fixed Mobile Convergence)

FMC(Fixed Mobile Convergence)  the way of fixed and mobile fusion embodied in business, technology, networks, systems, services, management, organization structure, etc, can include a variety of business bound fusion, terminal fusion, network integration, business integration, etc. Many business bound fusion is will fixed-line, broadband access, mobile business and so on many kinds of business the bundling selling to customers, to provide a uniform business pricing, bill, etc, to users across the network business combination brings with unified preferential marketing services; Terminal fusion is the fixed-line operators, broadband access, mobile fusion hybrid terminal in business can realize, such as long as customers hold this complex terminal can complete the communications services across the network, such as bluetooth/GSM dual-mode phone, Wi - Fi/GSM dual-mode phone, etc.; Network integration in providing various ways is the access services at the same time, the core network using uniform networks that a unified IP bearing and unified operation control of the stratification system framework; Business amalgamation is mobile and fixed current or future business penetration, combination and integration, including business in the basis of all features bound for the customer to provide a unified message, unity number etc.

International organization for standardization to the definition of TISPAN ETSI FMC is: "the FMC attention is independent of access technology network and professional ability, must not to point out the network on the physical plane fusion, fusion of network capabilities FMC attention and support standards; these standards can support a series of continuous service, and these services can be fixed, mobile, by public or private network provider". Of the FMC itu-t T defined as "in a given FMC refers to the network, to provide the end user with business or application ability and mechanism and fixed/mobile access technology and user position-independent. In NGN environment, FMC means to provide end users with access technology irrelevant NGN business". Should say, international organization for standardization of the definition of the FMC is standing in more technical Angle to describe FMC. It emphasized access irrelevance, the user can through wireless, cable, broadband, narrowband means of access; Then it pays attention to support the network capabilities, including the FMC for various access authentication, the means of business continuity, roaming switch, etc. From the user's perspective, FMC's goal is to provide complete and seamless user, consistent communications business experience, allowing users to get rid of space and network restrictions. Its are main the feature is users subscribe business and access and terminal is irrelevant, also from any suitable is allow users to the fixed or mobile access point using the same business. FMC users can in a number, a terminal, a bill, under the precondition of using fixed in your office or home network, and communicate in outdoor, through the wireless, mobile network for communications. For operators FMC technologies for realizing to cover include operational support, business, control, terminal, every level of the network. Through the network different levels of fusion, can satisfy the needs of different fusion business, a kind of fusion business could include a variety fusion technique.
Second-ranking operation support fusion: will fixed-line business, broadband access, mobile business and so on many kinds of application bound to give users authentication, unified, reunification bill, unified pricing, unified portal, give the user the preferential and bring charges the convenient use.
Washington business level fusion: in business layer provides access control multiple network capacity, make mobile business or fixed network business in each other network outspread, make users can enjoy from network limited communication services.
Second-ranking network level fusion: unified core network control, down does not rely on any access technology, up to provide standard open business interface. IMS technology that is a realization of fixed mobile fusion, industry control core framework for final FMC network recognized direction evolution.
Second-ranking terminal level fusion: complex dual mode or multi-mode terminals, supports multiple access type, can satisfy the users "used in hand, multipoint access, hyper communication" demand. The terminal for the development of fusion FMC application and promotion created the conditions.
