Converging NGN Wireline and Mobile 3G Networks with IMS

Delivering deep insight into the role of IMS in fixed line and mobile networks, this guide fosters a clear understanding of the next generation of converged communication. It discusses the sources of standards and their particular areas of activities. Most of the text centers on important aspects of IMS that go beyond session control and multimedia handling to include ID management, service profiles, event triggering, flow- and event-based charging mechanisms, and service-based quality of service. The author also examines network admission, security, border control, and legacy services, enabling a thorough appreciation of new network requirements.

Focusing on the future network architecture and its main principles, Converging NGN Wireline and Mobile 3G Networks with IMS provides a comprehensive view of the methods, functions, network elements, and the interfaces among them that enable the building of a service agnostic and access agnostic session control layer based on the IMS standards.

After an introduction to IMS principles with market trends, technological innovations, migration issues, and global standards, the book describes converged session control and multimedia handling with ID management, service profiles, and event and applications triggering as well as admission procedures for different types of access networks. Subsequent chapters tackle the all-important aspects of IP charging mechanisms, service-based quality of service, security, border control, and legacy services, enabling a thorough appreciation of the full network requirements. Wherever possible, the author points out the convergence of standards and details different specifications and terminology for TISPAN and 3GPP.

Delivering deep insight into the role of IMS in fixed line and mobile networks, this book explains the new technologies from concepts to detailed techniques to give a clear understanding of how the next generation of converged communication can be achieved with managed quality, security, and chargeability.
