Abstract: 〗In order to realize remote monitoring and self management of ubiquitous and heterogeneous terminal network of next generation network(NGN), and meet the requirements in the context of terminal network and public communication network unified management model, an architecture of NGN terminal management system is presented, the components and their functions are analyzed in detail. In the architecture, the status monitoring and the service assurance of terminal network are supported. The contextaware management and the policy management are proposed to realize pervasive communication under environment of heterogeneous terminals. The remote management of terminal network and devices is supported. The integrated management of terminal network and public communication network is realized by collaborating with other operation supporting systems. Service fulfillment process and convergence service seamless handover process are analyzed to illustrate the service flows of the terminal management system.

Key words: terminal management system architecture, next generation network, remote monitor and control, context-aware management, policy management
