ABSTRACT
Internet protocol television (IPTV), one of the most emerging services, offers
multimedia streaming services with security, reliability, and relevant quality of service
(QoS)/quality of experience (QoE). It provides added values to all the involving players
including customers and also brings technical and business challenges to those players. For IPTV
services, we expect to adopt the next generation network (NGN) environment for high quality
and the Web technologies for personalization to meet the customer's necessity. Web can provide
an open, flexible, and agile platform. Therefore, in this paper, we propose personalized IPTV
services based on Web-based open platform in NGN environment and present functional
architecture for Web-based personalized IPTV services. Technical issues for deploying the
proposed IPTV services using Web are also provided. The objective of this paper is to analyze
the critical architectural issues for developing viable and feasible networking platform models

INTRODUCTION
It is important to remember that IPTV is not like any ordinary television program
broadcast through the Internet, but rather it is unique in itself. Its contour is represented by a
closed, proprietary TV system which is similar to the cable services present today. But, in
contrast, the delivery of IPTV is made via IP-based secure channels, which result in a sharp
increase in content distribution control.
IPTV is a very useful system, through which you can receive both TV and video signals along
with other multimedia services by means of your Internet connection. For residential users, IPTV is
often provided in conjunction with Video on Demand and may be bundled with Internet services
such as Web access and VoIP. The commercial bundling of IPTV, VoIP and Internet
access is referred to as "Triple Play" service (when these three are offered with mobility,
the service is referred to as "Quadruple Play"). IPTV is typically supplied by a service
provider using a closed network infrastructure.
IPTV uses a Internet Protocol over broadband connection and very often this service has been
provided in parallel with the Internet connection of the subscriber, supplied by an operator dealing
with broadband. This is done by using the same infrastructure but apparently over a dedicated
bandwidth allocation. Hence, we can describe it as a system in which a digital television service is
provided to subscribing consumers over a broadband connection using the Internet Protocol. In
contrast, IPTV technology is more advanced, user friendly.

voice, data, and multimedia). NGN architecture enables content providers to deliver their heavy
media content across the network. It allows them to move beyond IPTV/Multimedia to develop
and deliver a various integrated media services to Multimedia Home Networks it also provide
IPTV service is very user friendly to the consumers and it is very economical compare to
the conventional cable network which conserves the bandwidth by using the multicast feature
which is not achieved in the traditional broadcast networks. It also provides various applications
