IMS Multimedia Telephony over Cellular Systems: VoIP Evolution in a Converged Telecommunication World
June 2, 2010 by SmallBiz-Resources.com
Product Description
IMS Multimedia Telephony service has been standardized in 3GPP as the replacement of the circuit switched telephony service in cellular networks. The multimedia telephony service consists of several service components such as voice, video and text. ‘IMS Multimedia Telephony over Cellular Systems’ provides a comprehensive overview of the service that will enable enriched telephony for mobile users. Enriched telephony fulfils the user’s desire to communicate in new ways, for example by sharing pictures and video clips.
In addition to an overview of the Multimedia Telephony service, the book focuses on the modern media processing methods, which allows the quality of the packet switched voice and video telephony not only to match but also possibly exceed the quality of circuit switched telephony. Such key components as adaptive jitter buffering and adaptation of conversational media are explained in detail.
Key features:
- Detailed description of how Multimedia Telephony sessions are set-up and controlled
- Analysis showing the capacity and quality of VoIP and Multimedia Telephony in cellular networks
- Coverage of other IMS services such as PoC specified by 3GPP and OMA
- Description of suitable QoS and radio bearers for Multimedia Telephony
- Explanation of the modern radio interface, especially High Speed Packet Access, which is based on concepts such as link adaptation and fast hybrid ARQ
The possibilities for the current and future standards covered in this book make it an indispensable resource for engineers, designers and researchers in VoIP, telecommunication companies and universities teaching and conducting research in telecommunications. It will also be of interest to managers needing an in-depth knowledge of the engineering and key issues of this complex technology, and students aspiring to develop a career in this area.

3rd Book I bought directly written on IMS. Any big difference from 1st book from Ericsson and 2nd book from Nokia folks? Well this book kind a 2nd re-visit of Ericsson book but this time engineers took the pen in hand. Being a expert one thing teaching is another , this book aimed good targets but had to stuck on page numbers it seems. That’s why all the table of content seems given as summaries . Well I hope we see 2nd version with more content and details . Force the editor to divide this into 2 books in which writers can do whatever they wish, God sake we are already giving significant money make it worthy will ya!
