April 2007 Challenges and Solutions for Broadband Wireless Wireless/Wireline Convergence Adi Regev AVP, Sales Development and Challenges in Convergence Delivering multimedia services across fixed and mobile accesses. Augmenting multimedia services – including voice, pictures, text and video - to existing services. Utilizing and reusing a common core and control, to the fixed, mobile and cable communities. Preserve quality and interoperability of telecoms with the quick and innovative development of the Internet. Mixing-and-matching equipment and applications from multiple vendors Handle non-standardized services in a standardized way – ensuring the interoperability, access awareness, policy support, charging, security and quality of service functionality Interworking with existing networks Enabling users to enjoy converged multiple services regardless of access network and device (access-independent) Enabling mobile users to access their personal set of services wherever they roam, whichever operator network they are connected to. The Magic Potion… IMS IMS in a Nutshell The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) standard defines a generic architecture for offering Voice over IP and multimedia services. International standard specified by the 3GPP/3GPP2 being embraced ETSI/TISPAN. Supports multiple access types GSM, WCDMA, CDMA2000, Wireline broadband access and WLAN. For Users Enable person-to-person and person-to-content communications – including voice, text, pictures and video. For Operators Defines a horizontal architecture - service enablers and common functions can be reused for multiple applications. Specifies interoperability and roaming, and provides bearer control, charging and security. Well integrated with existing voice and data networks - makes IMS a key enabler for fixedmobile convergence. IMS in a Nutshell Enables services to be delivered in a standardized, wellstructured way. Provides a future-proof architecture Simplifies and speeds up the service creation and provisioning process …while enabling legacy interworking. For fixed and mobile operators there are benefits of introducing the IMS architecture today On longer term, IMS enables a secure migration path to an all-IP architecture that will meet end-user demands for new enriched services. IMS becomes a preferred solution for fixed and mobile operators’ multimedia business. A Simplified IMS Converged Network (Service Focus) Simplified view of the IMS architecture IMS Layers The Application/Service layer Comprises application and content servers to execute services for the user. Generic service enablers are implemented as services in a SIP Application Server (AS). The Control layer Comprises network control servers for managing call or session set-up, modification and release. The most important – the CSCF (Call Session Control Function), also known as a SIP server. Contains a full suite of support functions - provisioning, charging and operation & management (O&M). Interworking with other operators’ networks and or other types of networks is handled by border gateways. Media Resource Function (MRF) – Control and Process Media Stream The Access/Trasport layer Comprises routers and switches, both for the backbone and the access network RADVISION offering in IMS SCOPIA Interactive Video Platform The Interactive Video Platform is designed to enable: Rapid multiple video service creation on a single platform to ensure future-proof for investment protection (IMS ready) Scalable growth from trial to servicing thousands of subscribers Enhancement of the visual communications experience with advanced video processing capabilities Seamless integration with back-end systems Connectivity to any network and device Quick, Efficient, Flexible and Future Proof IVP - Detailed Architecture Web Application Server Conferencing Video Portal / Video IVR Video Chat V2XML / HTTP XML API B2BUA (Linux) H.324/M Gateway SIP IVP Controller (Linux) Standby Controller (Linux) Content XML API XML API MCU MCU MCU (VxWorks Blade) RTSP SIP Streaming Server RTSP MSP MSP MSP (Linux) NFS Network File Server Content Interactive Video Platform RTSP RTSP SIP SIP Network camera IP softphone Legend MCU – Multipoint Conference Unit MSP – Media Streaming Proxy B2BUA – SIP Back to Back User Agent IP endpoint The API – V2XML over HTTP The Interactive Video Platform behaves like a browser – it issues a HTTP GET request and fetches a V2XML page Pages can be static, or dynamic written with standard web technologies such as cgi, asp, jsp, php etc. Web Application Server Application 1 V2XML pages HTTP GET XML API Caller ID & other parameters are passed in the HTTP request – application can use it for database access, personalization etc. Application 2 B2BUA V2XML pages DB V2XML Controller Standby Controller XML API XML API MCU MCU MCU Interactive Video Platform H.323 MSP MSP MSP What can be controlled with V2XML?
