Annex B (informative):
Example use case

There are an expanding number of services that 3G can offer. The network and infrastructure resources that are needed to support the new services are complex, and require a systematic technique to consider the many factors involved.

Use cases provide an iterative analysis technique helpful in determining market potential, business transactions, and the user interactions, etc.

When a use case has been developed (i.e. become stable), possible network solution(s) may be developed.

It is anticipated that future complex services will require a systematic analysis method to evaluate the network impacts.

There is a desire to migrate away from developing a solution for each service opportunity on an individual case-by-case basis, and to deploy a consistent approach in order that the network architecture solution may be used to provide many different service needs.
