Network services have been significantly increased in today's enterprise networks. The time and cost of deploying these services are recently considered as critical challenges for enterprise networks. Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is a promising solution to offer cost-efficient, scalable and more rapid deployment of such services. It allows the implementation of fine-grained services as a...
In this paper we propose a method of translating enterprise business objectives into service delivery policy rules in Mobile Broadband networks. This enables enterprises to control their own session policies for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) users and apply selective funding with prioritized service delivery. The proposed eBC (enterprise Business Context) Policy process uses internal corporate data...
Contextual information are used to describe situations of entities (users and devices) and their interactions. Applications need such information in order to adapt their behaviour in response to changes in the entities context. In certain scenarios and in particular machine to machine, the integration of a large number of components makes the management of the generated contextual information a very...
Empowering the enterprise to control their own session policy for mobile broadband is not only necessary for consumerization, but is beneficial in controlling budgets and protecting corporate network resources. We propose a practical method of establishing dynamically enterprise-Business-Context (eBC) status to determine whether or not the enterprise should fund employees'' service requests and what...
IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) has been widely accepted by telecom industry as a prolific platform for providing next generation Telecom services, and massive deployment has been finally taking off. However, most of the services in IMS environment are still developed in silo method which makes new services implementation to be a time-consuming and burdensome process. In this paper, we consider service...
Context-Aware Communication (CAC) services enable end-devices or service platforms to adapt their comportment to sensed context information, either instantly or in a deferred way. There is today no available framework for supporting the development of CAC applications in a generic way. After surveying previous works, we propose here a new approach for classifying context-aware communication systems...
The numbers of MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) are growing globally, but so do their operational and business issues. This paper identifies these issues and looks for remedies via the new 4G architecture and interfaces. The paper examines the ‘Full’ MVNO model as a ‘Home’ network in a pseudo roaming scenario (National Roaming), allowing MVNO to connect to multiple MNOs through the discovery...
The MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) business in Europe is maturing, with growing pressure on margins. To cope, MVNOs seek independence and flexibility which they can gain by advanced 4G access agnostic technology. This evolution is supported by three overlapping MVNO models: 4G “Full MVNO”, Multi-MNO and “Always Best Connected”, which are all enhanced by advanced Policy functions. The paper...
This paper addresses the important issues related to content delivery and service aggregation. We present a metadata-based approach for content and service combined delivery through IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). In our approach, the CAM4Home metadata model is adopted to enable a novel way of content provisioning by aggregating semantic-coherent content and service. Multimedia contents and related...
