PREFACE
The Common Functional Specifications (CFS) are to be the concise, coherent and
customized framework of the synthesis results of RACE Part I : IBC Developments and
Implementations Strategies.
This is the first issue of the RACE CFS. The-y are not yet complete nor are they
rigorous in their treatment of the various issues. They have been prepared by the system
sections of the RACE Projects via their participation in the RACE STG (Sub Technical Groups).
The specifications represent thé first attempt by many participants in RACE at preparing
CFS. In some instances they have been prepared by a single project and are written as project
reports. Such CFS have been included as written because of the lack of opportunity to do
otherwise. It must be recognised however that they are the only set of documents describing the
system level output from the RACE programme and entering the public domain.
The work of enhancing the CFS, extending them, reconciling inconsistencies, improving
the presentation, etc. are ongoing tasks for the technical groups of RACE. They will continue
meeting throughout 1991 and 1992 with the above objectives. At the same time they will be
selecting appropriate parts of their work for contribution to the standardisation bodies of Europe
(ETSI, CEN/CENELEC, etc.) to assist in their work and to bring the results of the RACE
Programme to the attention of the other actors in the telecommunications sector of Europe.

RACE
RACE (Research and Development in Advanced Communications Technologies in
Europe) is a Community Programme to prepare for the 'Introduction of Integrated Broadband
Communication (IBC) taking into account the evolving ISDN and national introduction strategies,
progressing to community-wide services by 1995'.
RACE covers major aspects of terrestrial networks, satellites and mobile
telecommunications, including considerations on narrowband and broadband networks as well as
distribution networks. RACE is also concerned with telecommunications services, their
definition and exploitation by end-users.

1 INTRODUCTION
This specificaiton introduces a number of service classes and for each of these it lists several
services. Application examples are also given for these services in order to provide a useful
indication of the user requirements. Consideration has been given to the existing CFS B210 (The
Concept of IBC and its Relationship to ISDN) and CI 10 (Methods of Specification of IBC
Services). In the case of service classes there are differences in the choices made between J100
and C110.
The services which could be provided on a broadband network can be divided into various
categories. CCITT draft recommendation 1.121 has the two categories - interactive and
distribution. In this CFS, services are subdivided into a number of classes. These classes are
based on the type of usage and provide a rough guide to the type of network configuration and
control facilities required to operate the service. For example, conversational services will
usually involve a symmetrical communication between the users and have a call duration of a
few minutes. Surveillance, on the other hand, will involve a very asymmetric transmission and
with a call duration of hours or even days.
As a first step to defining the requirements of the applications, a set of service components (e.g.
audio) has been chosen and are listed for each application.
A list of the related international standards is given in Appendix 1, together with an indication
of the activities of the respective international bodies.
2 SERVICE CLASSES
2.1 Conversational
Conversational services are for communication in real-time and are bidirectional, but not
necessarily symmetrical.
December 1990 Document 7 - J100 IBC Common Functional Specification Issue A
2.2 Distribution
1This implies transmission from one or few sources to many people or to machines . The service
can be unidirectional providing distribution without user individual presentation control. It can
also be bidirectional in the sense that there is a return path for user control of the material
being distributed.
