Addressing the challenges of Beyond 3G service delivery: the SPICE service platform
نویسندگان
چکیده
The project SPICE (Service Platform for Innovative Communication Environment) is addressing the still unsolved problem of designing, developing and putting into operation efficient and innovative mobile Service creation/execution platforms for networks beyond 3G. The IST project SPICE is part of the Wireless World Initiative (WWI). With the growing diversity of services, devices and connectivity means, Service Platforms (such as the SPICE platform) will provide (mobile) end-users with communication means and tailored applications anywhere, anytime and on any device; and service providers, SMEs and non-professional users with service enablers that facilitate and quicken (context-aware) application development. Operators – such as in the SPICE consortium – will take up the role of Service Provider (/Service Platform Provider) and research and develop an advanced B3G service delivery environment. In this paper we present our research on a Service Platform in B3G environment. We sketch the key issues of such a Service Platform. Current technological solutions are discussed and the specific SPICE approach to address these challenges is described.

The notion of next generation networks (NGN) is based on the convergence of fixed and mobile telecommunication networks and the internet towards an all-IP environment. These NGNs support the provision of integrated information and communication services in face of increasingly becoming more complex value chains, enabled by so-called service delivery platforms (SDPs). Therefore an NGN is an envi...
