Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) has been widely applied to multimedia telephony service in Broadband Converged Network (BCN). SIP is also adopted as the basic signalling protocol of VoIP and 3GPP. IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) is a SIP based multimedia telecommunication infrastructure in 3GPP. Recently, many mobile operators have selected IMS as a core infrastructure because IMS has a flexible architecture...
The Third Generation Partnership Project(3GPP) forum [1] has specified IMS (Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem) which provides resource, admission and charging control [2] for multimedia services. The OMA (The Open Mobile Alliance) forum [3] has specified BCAST (Mobile Broadcast Services) [4] which is network agnostic service enabler for mobile broadcast service. Up to now, IMS and BCAST are separated...
IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) [1] specified originally by 3GPP to support IP multimedia services for mobile users, has become the foundation for future wireless and wireline convergence. IMS aims at allowing service providers to easily deploy rich IP-based multimedia services. However, to deploy a new IMS-based service, both the network and the terminal need to evolve to implement the associated service...
IMS, the core architecture of NGN, becomes more and more important in modern telecommunication network. It is the main driving force to promote the evolution of telecommunication technology to "All IP" network. However, it is a big challenge that how to provide carrier grade service on best effort IP network. To solve this problem, SDOs (Standards Development Organizations) have developed...
Integrated Mobile Broadcast (IMB) is a technology recently standardized by 3GPP for delivery of broadcast multimedia via a cellular network. IMB is based on WCDMA technology but particularly designed for deployment in 3G TDD spectrum. It employs downlink-only channels using SFN methods, which greatly increase spectral efficiency and capacity for broadcast services. In this paper, we firstly provide...
Rapid growth and evolution in the area of telecommunications has compelled the network operators to provide seamless integration of all communication applications on a single system. In these circumstances IMS has established itself as a foundation for future wireless and wireline convergence. It provides an opportunity to build an open IP based service platform that will enable an easy and efficient...
Defined by the 3GPP, the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) is an architectural framework that enables the delivery of multimedia services in mobile networks. Based on the session initiation protocol, the IMS offers unified billing, QoS negotiation mechanisms, and the possibility of combining services deployed in different environments like CAMEL and Parlay OSA. With the aim of determining the real limitations...
Sidebar is a complicated conference scenario, which was introduced by IETF XCON working group in Centralized Conferencing Framework (CCF) in 2007. H.248 protocol is suggested to handle media control by 3GPP in Converged MultiMedia Conference (CMMC) framework based on IMS. A new Media server Control Protocol (MCP) was proposed by IETF Mediactrl working group recently. However, both of them didn't elaborate...
Mobile communications are spreading at a fast pace, from telephony to vertical applications such as healthcare, transportation or energy. In the case of transportation, their target is usually a limited geographical area. Geographical networking is currently under study, with proposals for identifying the target area by adding a geographical enhancement to the IP protocol. In this paper, we propose...
In this paper we firstly proved that mobile IP protocols are designed for mobility but not for session continuity. In contradiction, mSCTP (mobile stream control transmission protocol) appears to be the best protocol with regard to session continuity support, however it does not support location management mechanisms, thus context-aware QoS as well as other mechanisms based on knowledge of location...
Next Generation Network (NGN), is the new approach for the operators to offer a more wide range of applications and services. Meanwhile, different Next Generation Network architectures which are proposed by manufacturers cause some ambiguities in forming of this concept in telecommunication networks. Only the required functions are considered for NGN in IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), for convergence...
Session initiation protocol (SIP) has already been accepted as the multimedia control signaling standard in ubiquitous wireless network by IETF and 3GPP etc. However, the handover procedure with SIP suffers from undesirable delay for real-time multimedia applications in WLAN. Moreover, the existing handover management protocols are not sufficient to guarantee handover of VoIP session in WLAN. In this...
This paper in accordance with the authors' previous work, investigates the effect of adding extra servers in Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling network on session setup in the Ip Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). The delay analysis is explored by describing the SIP signaling traffic with M/M/r notation. SIP servers overload problem is addressed and the effect of adding servers will be investigated...
There is a rapid growth and evolution in the area of telecommunications and network operators are expected to provide seamless integration of all communication applications on a single system. In these circumstances IMS has emerged out as a key player. IMS is basically a network architecture consisting of an IP-based core network connected to multiple access networks to provide a converged service...
The IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), originally designed by 3GPP and later updated by 3GPP, 3GPP2 and TISPAN, presents itself as an architectural framework that allows the convergence of the Internet, wireless and wireline networks and a global platform for the delivery of IP multimedia applications in next generation networks (NGN). One of the most used services to test IMS capabilities is push-to-talk...
IMS is standardised by 3GPP as a control domain inside UMTS core network, that provides support for IP based multimedia services while SIP is used as the main signalling protocol. UMTS network needs to find QoS requests of IP multimedia session through signalling protocol before it reserves resources for communication. Therefore it is necessary to enable interworking between SIP protocol and IP QoS...
In this work we present a model for online charging of media-rich services supporting dynamic QoS negotiation, within the third generation partnership project (3GPP) IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) emulated environment. In the QoS negotiation process a user, a network provider, and a service provider negotiate about the session to be initiated, resulting in an user-specific combination of media components...
An IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) has been specified to provide multimedia services in 3GPP release5. In IP multimedia subsystem, both packet-switch domain and IMS authentications are necessary for the IMS subscriber. The IMS authentication is carried out by IMS authentication and key agreement (AKA). It is inefficient that there are so many steps in IMS AKA. Hence, this paper proposes an improved...
IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) is a new next generation networking architecture that will provide better quality of service, charging infrastructure and security. The basic idea behind IMS is convergence; providing a single interface to different traditional or modern networking architectures allowing better working environment for the end users. IMS is still not commercially adopted and used but research...
The main idea of the third generation (3G) networks is to merge two of the most important communication systems: cellular networks and Internet. The IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) defined by 3GPP is a technology designed to provide robust multimedia services across roaming boundaries and over diverse access technologies. In this communication converged world, the challenging issues are security and...
