Convergent service environments are required to deal with current tendency to heterogeneity in network contents and its inherent incorporation of more types of devices demanding services from multiple domains. Efficient management architectures are required to tackle issues regarding: media content, subscriber reachability and subscriptions information coming from different types of networks in order to enable well organized communications among different environments such as: IMS, IPTv and subscribers management repositories.This paper describes the work of Eureka Mobicome project on the definition of an architecture to manage and provide services among distinct service delivery platforms (IPTV and ENUM) using IMS as a common core and proposes a compound modular architecture to set the basis for Future Internet converging service provision. The proposed architecture has been validated by the Interconnection of different prototypes deployed at Madrid (Spain) and Oslo (Norway).
Abstract. Standardization bodies have spent lots of efforts and have extensively defined IP Multimedia Subsystem interfaces. While Telcos have started its deployment, IMS-based applications boosting user needs are still to come. Such applications must not suffer from interoperability issues caused by different vendors and different administrative domains. NetLab project aims at exploring such interoperability issues by interconnecting together testbeds at three different countries. Use cases will be defined to find out about interoperability, and also to search for a user appealing application in collaboration with the LivingLabs community. This paper introduces the project vision on the architectural, security, QoS, and interoperability issues, together with new services illustrating the interconnection of testbeds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
