The ipmultimediasubsystem (IMS) is a telecommunication middleware platform with robust service features that enables the delivery of a wide range of services to mobile network subscribers. Network operators are encouraged to develop services from service building blocks in order to avoid redundancies by re-using existing functionality. In this environment, operators must be able to control the service execution chain in order to prevent undesirable interactions from occurring between individual building blocks. It is also in their interests to provide subscribers with personalisation options so that they can modify service compositions and define their own preferences for how they would like their services to behave during live sessions. This paper describes a solution for these challenges that involves the storage of service information in an XDMS and allows operator staff and subscribers to manage this information using the XCAP protocol. The ETSI-defined XCAP application usage named simservs was chosen to demonstrate an application usage that can be used to create service compositions in XML format. A prototype is described that uses components of the open source Mobicents project to verify the suitability of the design. This work is part of a larger effort aimed at modeling interaction management in the IMS through the use of a service broker that is part of an extended IMS service layer (EISL). The service broker's functional and structural architecture have not yet been standardised.

The Universal Postal Union is motivated to develop a new platform: .post, to offer digital services secured from SPAM and cybercriminal activities such as phishing and identity theft. Assuming that strong authentication, network security and QoS must be offered on the international .post platform, the use of national authentication tokens and IMS (ipmultimediasubsystem) networks is proposed and discussed. A prototype architecture for the .post platform is proposed and the development of an IMS/Sip client to enable the exchange of secured and authenticated mail is described as a sample service to demonstrate the feasibility of the concept.

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. ipmultimediasubsystem (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 to support converged service to support session mobility from one device to another. Nevertheless, Sip has some drawbacks such as undesirable latency during the session reestablishment procedure. In this paper, we design and implement the enhanced IMS service continuity in order to shorten the session mobility latency. To verify our work, we launched the developed system as a pilot service in our service network.

The convergence of voice and data on Internet Protocol (ip) networks has led to tremendous growth of Voice over ip (Voip). While Sip/ H.323 are dominant signaling protocols, RTP is widely used for media transfer. Certain situations may require logging of RTP sessions along with the signaling information for call and voice analysis. Recovering voice from RTP packets requires explicit handling of RTP stack and decoding. In this paper, we propose a scheme that uses softphones with appropriate codec support for voice recovery from logged RTP packets. It is done using inherent provisions of RTP, specifically SSRC-multiplexing. The scheme also suggests the possibility of an active stream injection attack in RTP based Voip.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a system for managing the tagging of traffic, in order to create detailed personal and applicational profiles. The ultimate goal of this separation is to facilitate the task of traffic auditing tools, namely in their struggle against botnets. The architecture was designed for domestic or enterprise facilities and uses the 802. IX authentication architecture as the base support infrastructure for dealing with unequivocal traffic binding to specific entities (persons or servers). Simultaneously, such binding uses virtual identities and encryption for preserving the privacy and protection of traffic originators from network eavesdroppers other than authorized traffic auditors. The traffic from each known originator is profiled with some detail, namely it includes a role tag and an application tag. Role tags are defined by originators and only partially follow a standard policy. On the contrary, application tags should follow a standard policy in order to reason about abnormal scenarios raised when correlating traffic from several instances of the same application. A first prototype was developed for Linux, using iptables and FreeRADIUS and conveying packet tagging information on a new ip option field.

Future healthcare applications will require operation over heterogeneous networks due to mobility of patient, caregiver and provisioning of healthcare services anytime anywhere. In contrast with applications using protocols for specific networking technologies, we propose to include a unified middleware to isolate applications from mobility management, client discovery and transport of multimedia traffic. We propose an all ip-based framework based on Sip protocol for the unified middleware. The architecture is described. We describe how handovers over heterogeneous networks could be implemented in this architecture which provide better QoS and low packet loss during transitions. A laboratory prototype to demonstrate the above concepts is presented.

The packet-switched NGN (Next Generation Network) architecture allows users to access multimedia services via the Internet anytime and anywhere. Through the core ipmultimediasubsystem (IMS), NGN can provide multimedia services, such as voice, video, data and messages over heterogeneous networks. However, for high-quality services in practical environment, the performance and QoS (Quality of Service) of NGN must be guaranteed. Thus, based on the Testing and Test Control Notation version 3 (TTCN-3) specifications, this paper develops a test system utilizing Open IMS Core for conformance test of IMS session initiation for fixed and mobile networks. We also verify the QoS and analyze the performance of SUT (System Under Test) from the experimental results.

Mobile sensors networks are used in several domains to perform various tasks related to monitoring, recording, and affecting the conditions of an environment. Interacting with mobile sensor networks deployed in public networks requires an application capable of securely exchanging data in the network, generating mobile sensor network requests and processing mobile sensor network responses. Embedded communications devices are an ideal platform through which mobile sensor network applications could be implemented due to their portability and preexisting facilities to establish network connections. The ipmultimediasubsystem (IMS) is a communications framework permitting the exchange of data from communications devices across divergent networks. No research has been performed combining embedded devices and mobile sensor networks using public network facilities like IMS. This paper proposes an architecture permitting end users to perform mobile sensor network operations using IMS and embedded communications devices. The architecture is based on a reconfigurable hardware implementation of Sip to exchange data through an IMS network to query mobile sensor data, publish data to valid subscribers and control nodes. Sip is used to manage the sessions in which data are accessed by arbitrary users registered with a sensor network service.
