Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a rapidly emerging technology. Currently, the Internet is being wired to support voice and fax traffic. The widespread interest in VoIP is not necessarily the ability of IP to carry voice traffic but the ability to carry voice and fax traffic over data networks. The implications of this are far-reaching. That is, the Internet, for the most part, will event...

This paper analyzes loadsharing principles and their relationship to reliability requirements for SS7-networks. After an introduction to loadsharing in SS7networks and general problems associated with it, a specific problem resulting from the deregulation in Germany will be discussed in detail. New loadsharing algorithms that fulfill the reliability requirements of SS7-networks but which also o...

Reading a book is also kind of better solution when you have no enough money or time to get your own adventure. This is one of the reasons we show the developments in telecommunications with a focus on ss7 network reliability as your friend in spending the time. For more representative collections, this book not only offers it's strategically book resource. It can be a good friend, really good ...

Short Message Service (SMS) is a hugely popular and easily adopted communications technology for mobile devices. Yet due to a lack of understanding in its insecure implementation, it is generally trusted by people. Users conduct business, disclose passwords and receive sensitive notification reports from systems using this communication technology. SMS was an “after-thought” in the Global Syste...

The Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) protocol suite currently under standardization by the IETF is designed to build systems providing highly available services by providing mechanisms and protocols for establishing, configuring, accessing and monitoring pools of server resources. While availability is one main aspect of RSerPool, load distribution is another. Since most of the time a server ...

4ongestion controls are a key factor in achieving the robust performance required of common channel signaling (CCS) networks in the face of partial network failures and extreme traffic loads, especially as networks become large and carry high traffic volume. The CCITT recommendations define a number of types of congestion control, and the parameters of the controls must be well set in order to ...

Personal mobility is one of the goals of Universal Personal Telecommunications (UPT) being specified for future deployment. Most current efforts focus on telephony, with SS7 signaling. However, many of the same goals can be accomplished for multimedia services, by using existing Internet protocols. We describe a multimedia call/conference setup protocol that provides personal videophone address...

The communication paradigm has rapidly shifted from wireless mobile networks to All-Internet Protocol (IP) networks such as Multimedia Sub-system (IMS), Multi-Media Domain (MMD), and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), led by service industry leaders and communication manufacturers. This emerging communication paradigm is to provide new various services, such as ubiquitous ...
