Our paper, "Remote Service Usage through SIP with Multimedia Access as an Use Case", was accepted at the 18th Annual IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC) in Athens, Greece. The conference takes place 3rd to 7th September in Athens Hilton.
Abstract:
"The IP Multimedia Subsystem is under deployment, as an IP-based service control and access infrastructure, but how it interconnects with residential appliances is currently unclear. With IMS access for the residential appliances they can be used as both service consumers and service providers. In this paper we present a protocol which allows residential services to be remotely invoked, through the IMS, and consumed in a different network, along with a prototype implementation and early results. With our protocol services of two distinct service protocol systems can cooperate."We started the design work early in the autumn, 2006, and later we developed the prototype during the autumn and winter. In November, 2006 we did an integration test in Kista and at the end of January, 2007 we finally had our prototype working. Early March, 2007 the prototype was demonstrated to Ericsson in Kista. Due to the inherent nature of prototype, we needed three attempts before the prototype worked as expected.
