Connecting mobile IMS services with web applications

Published:07 September 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we analyze the current context about mobile applications and web applications and the convergence that is forecast. We analyze the technical ways and associated impacts to interconnect mobile IMS Services with Web applications and then we try to identify some of the mains functions of multimedia IMS-Web Gateways depending on the uses cases they ensure.

        The introduction section of this paper provides a comparison between circuit-switched (CS) and packet-switched (PS) networks. Although it sets the scene correctly, the paper includes biased statements that undermine the paper as a whole. For example, there is the statement that evolution of the CS network is "rather slow." Given the early phase of the Internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS), it is far too early to make such a subjective statement. The statement about "specific and dedicated technologies" is also subjective. Such a subjective statement can also be made for session initiation protocol (SIP)/IMS. The statement about the lack of relationship between CS and PS can be challenged, as there are currently many solutions that combine these two technologies. Giving due credit to CS, and integrated services digital network (ISDN) in general, would increase the industry's confidence in IMS. Bailly and Menard give a useful overview of existing kinds of Web-IMS gateways in Section 3, but this should be regarded as a synopsis; there are many more types of Web-IMS gateways possible. The term "Web" is used far too generically. "IP" (SIP/IMS) does not necessarily mean "Web." For many of the figures presented, one will wonder what protocol is carried over the connection lines shown. It would be useful if the figures (or textual description) were more specific in this regard. The paper also has many grammatical errors. However, in general, Section 3 gives a good idea of how we can link these two worlds-IMS and the Web/Internet. It will inspire the reader to further investigate the topic.
