This paper outlines an approach toward extending the OSGi (Open Services Gateway Initiative) framework to support interoperability with mobile devices. The approach is based on the use of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), which is likely to be employed by nextgeneration mobile networks. The extensions to OSGi allow a SIP device to participate in an OSGi platform and allow OSGi services to be exported into a mobile (SIP-based) environment. In this paper, we propose an architecture supporting the integration of SIP with OSGi, provide some application scenarios and describe the details of the SIP Service for OSGi.
