Real Challenge

Ad hoc and sensor networks have received tremendous attention in the recent literature due to its unpredictable nature and its many applications. Imposing any kind of reliability in such networks represents a real challenge. In this paper, we propose a new resource management scheme which virtually reserves and releases resources at the network layer when necessary. Results show that our scheme distributes resources efficiently between Best Effort and Quality of Service traffics even when congestion arises.

The paper is dedicated to mechanisms for open access to resource management in the Internet Protocol (IP) multimedia networks. First we present the concept of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and explain the IMS functional architecture, principles of quality of service management and service control in IMS. Then we describe the idea behind the opening of network interfaces for third parties so that others besides the network operator can create and deploy services. Open Service Access (OSA) and Parlay appear to be the technologies for value-added service delivery in multimedia networks. In the paper we take a closer look to the Parlay/OSA interfaces that allow third party applications to access the resource management functions in IMS. OSA "Connectivity Manager" interfaces and OSA "Policy Management" interfaces are considered. Parlay X Web Services interfaces provide a higher level of abstraction than Parlay/OSA interfaces and gain an amazing amount of support among service developers. We address "Applicationdriven Quality of Service" Parlay X Web Service and "Policy" Parlay X Web Service also.

Abstract The paper investigates the capabilities for open access to resource management in multimedia networks through Parlay X Web Services. Resource management allows the network operator to provide Quality of Service (QoS) to user sessions and to apply advanced charging. The study is based on the analysis of Policy and Charging Control (PCC) functions defined for evolved packet systems The PCC comprises flow-based charging including charging control and online credit control, gating control, and Quality of Service Control (QoS) control. The required functionality for open access to QoS management and advanced charging is identified. Parlay X Web Services are evaluated for the support of PCC and some enhancements are suggested. Implementation aspects are discussed and Parlay X interfaces are mapped on IMS control protocols. Use Cases of Parlay X Web services for PCC are presented.
