Design and Implementation of an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Emulator Using Virtualization Techniques

Tags:
multimedia

Overview Multimedia service provisioning in Packet-Switched networks is one of the most active research and standardization efforts nowadays, and constitutes the most likely evolution of current telecommunication networks. In this environment, the 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) represents the service provisioning platform of choice for SIP-based content delivery in mobile and fixed environments. However, in spite of the advanced status of research and specification in this field, few IMS-based services have been defined or deployed, mainly due to the fact that production or experimental IMS platforms are scarcely available for service validation and testing.
