Group communication technologies enable users to form differenttypes of mobile groups and to interact in real time with theparticipants of these groups.
This book provides an in-depth overview of Multimedia GroupCommunications in the mobile domain. It specifiesmultimedia group communication concepts, introduces a range ofapplications, and proposes an evolution path. The concepts coverthe "walkie-talkie" voice over IP service, XML list management, andPresence awareness technologies. The applications section embracessession control for closed professional groups and for openconsumer groups. The evolution path includes exciting developmentssuch as 'infotainment' and communication with non-humangroup members.
Key Features:
* Easy to understand explanation of the Push to Talk overCellular (PoC) service, as specified by the Open Mobile Alliance(OMA)
* Provides technical description of XML Document Management andSIMPLE Presence services
* Gives examples on how to deploy group communication servicesover 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and between IMSdomains
* Describes innovative use cases for multimedia groupcommunication through integration with value-added services andthrough the next generation of OMA enablers
Multimedia Group Communications is the first explorationto the field of one-to-many connectivity paradigm. It providesessential information on group communication for engineers,programmers and business managers working in the mobile arena, andwill also be useful to business development planners andtechnically aware users.
