The Enhanced Voice Services (EVS) codec was standardized by 3GPP in 2014. This codec offers significant gains in voice quality, efficiency, channel error robustness over any other existing speech codec and far better music quality. Operators run voice services on a large installed base of 3GPP Circuit-Switched (CS) 2G (GERAN) or 3G (UTRAN) radio networks. These networks offer mobile voice service...
NAT (Network Address Translation) traversal is one of the main obstacles to restrict the development of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). This paper analyzes problems about SIP/NAT traversal and proposes a scheme for SIP operating through NAT with the cooperation of SIP server and RTP relay server and designs the architecture of the relay server according to the characteristics of the mobile Internet...
WHO in its report in 2010 stated that voluntary blood donor is a crucial component and a core service within health care systems. The existence of voluntary blood donor has saved millions of lives. Few studies showed that that non-remunerated donors have very importance rules to fulfil the blood demands. Unfortunately, according to the same report, WHO concluded that there are many patients who could...

When smart phones are now commonly distributed, the web accessibility through a mobile has invigorated. Not just because of smart phones, but because so many devices with various resolutions are available in the market, information cannot be correctly displayed on the web of the previous PC and an appropriate web matching with each resolution should be presented. This thesis will suggest a responsive...
Content delivery through cloud networks has gained popularity due to its effectiveness and reliability. Much progress has been made to allow for the easy integration of heterogeneous systems to compose services on the fly. Despite all efforts, the task of fast service composition has made the assumption of the presence of static searchable and updatable central repositories within cloud data centers...

The current emergency services are mostly using old-fashioned generic voice-based technologies. Hence, proliferating smart and powerful end-user devices, which are quasi-permanently connected to the Internet is still weakly considered. Given that fact, we design and develop YouSOS, a framework extending the usability of conventional SOS services. YouSOS is built in a way that centralizes rescue operations'...
The use of recording applications for teaching is increasingly popular, with tools such as Ink2Go and ShowMe being available on many platforms and at reasonable cost. However, most recording applications available are typically native applications and do not work within the web browser. In this work, we study the feasibility of implementing a recording solution in the web browser environment.
This look at the driving forces behind the multimedia evolution of online communication explores some recent startups and the reasons behind their success.
This paper describes two mobile learning journeys in the zoo using either smartphones or tablets, and a mobile learning application SamEx, all designed and implemented as part of a research study in a Singapore primary school. Out-of-school semi-formal learning activities such as zoo trips present standard curricular topics where students go out of their schools in order to explore topics of interest...
