Method for implementing calling in the multimedia communication call control

Abstract: The invention disclosed a method which achieves call in a multimedia communication call control. This method includes: set user service information of rank in advance, obtain customer service information of rank related to call entities, according to user information of rank, defined users call processing priority, and call in accordance with established call processing priority. According to user information of rank, the invention brings up processing priority call methods in the third generation mobile communication multimedia communications call control, such as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). The method provides a different priority call for different user service rank, and ensures the call-processing speed of the important network user's, improves customer satisfaction and loyalty.

SIP messages delay analysis in heterogeneous network

Abstract: The performance of signaling protocols in circuit and packet switching networks is a significant parameter to evaluate the performance of any telecom operator. Today, users demand continuous high data rate, service availability, network reliability, mobility, QoS and minimum service initialization time. IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) standardized Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), which categorize as a signaling protocol for management and maintenance of new multimedia IP-based services. Session setup time for the interactive and real-time application has become major QoS parameter to assess the performance of these applications. In the context of this communication application, in this paper, we analyze the performance of session setup time of SIP protocol over IMS network with different access networks (GSM, WLAN and PSTN). We measure and compare mean delay of each SIP message during session setup over these access networks. We also measure the mean delay with respect to distance of nodes in the network. Our results show that SIP message size, processing, transmission, queuing delay, transition from packet to switched network, node mobility and wireless channel have a consequence on the reliability, performance and efficiency of the protocol.

A set-top box for end-to-end qos management and home network gateway in IMS

Abstract: As the next generation networks promise network convergence with services for both static and mobile networks, the research focus is converging towards standardizing a common infrastructure for all-IP networks. IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a recent initiative, which outlines a service delivery platform (SDP) framework. A flexible and robust QoS management system for IMS is essential to ascertain the achievability of service quality on these converged networks. As Triple and Quadruple Play services are the most celebrated services of IMS in the near future, the necessity of QoS assurance is becoming an imminent need of the hour. Multimedia services delivery in converged IP networks using IMS, concentrates on ensuring capabilities to ensure the best QoS. To meet these requirements, we have designed a set-top box which provides feedback in IMS management architecture to ensure end-toend QoS as well as enables the functionalities of Regional Gateway for the Home Network. Results of the simulation confirm the improvement of performance parameters and the quality of service.

Terminal-Centric Location Services in the IP Multimedia Subsystem.

Abstract: Location-based services in 3G and beyond networks depend on high-accuracy location data. Today's 2G and 3G access networks determine user location in a network-centric manner. The accuracy of these location mechanisms depends on the radio infrastructure near the user's geographical position and is typically limited to hundreds or thousands of meters. This precision is inadequate for typical location-based services like city maps or route planners. In this paper we present a terminal-centric location enabler that integrates seamless with the existing IP Multimedia Subsystem presence architecture and interoperates with network-centric location mechanisms. We argue that the user terminal itself, equipped with location sources like GPS receivers, can determine the geographical position with an optimum of accuracy. In consequence, the user terminal should be used as the primary source for location information. We extend the existing and well-known concept of presence by defining location as a type of presence information that is of interest to users. Terminal-based triggers and filters reduce the amount of traffic on the air interface and enable a scalable location architecture. We present the implementation of a J2ME-based mobile terminal prototype, which uses GPS as location source and interfaces with IMS location services.

Performance Analysis of Voice over Multiprotocol Label Switching Communication Networks with Traffic Engineering

Abstract: Now-a-days Internet is playing a vital role in most of the people's life due to wide variety of applications and services provided on Internet. The increased number of Internet users made the popular services television and telephone to use the Internet as a medium to reach their customers. These services are provided by convergence of voice and data communications over single network infrastructure. Providing the real-time applications on Internet is a challenging task for the conventional IP networks as it uses best-effort services which doesn't provide guarantee of services and Traffic Engineering (TE). Moreover IP networks offer minimum predictability of services which is unacceptable for the applications like telephony and multimedia services (1).
