Service Orchestration over IMS Testbed

Objective of Demonstration
Our open-source IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) based testbed provides a platform for service innovations. This demonstration illustrates unified mobile service invocation, composition and orchestration protocols.

The Demonstration
This demonstration illustrates the use of smart-phone to initiate and orchestrate the playback of online video program on-thego, and to a display device of choice. Using the IMS-based mobile service platform (POISe programme), an Android phone authenticates and interacts with the IMS core network to subscribe a video channel from the program listing (IPTV programme). The orchestrated service shows selected videos streamed to a remote client for display via quality-of-service guaranteed connections established via an IMS-based optical network service plane (FusionLight optical network).

Service Orchestration over IMS Testbed

The Technology
IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) IMS is a specification of an environment where eclectic types of services can be rapidly developed, deployed, and delivered with relative ease in a standardized fashion as compared to current vendor-based solutions. It is built for services and applications, providing operators the chance to manage rich multimedia services across both next-generation and traditional (with limited functionalities) networks. Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based Service Orchestration This module manages the SIP signaling packets within IMS to provide enhanced functionalities such as Chaining of SIP-based services and SIP- and Web Service-based service chaining. Service Orchestration is a process of services collaboration using predefined patterns and interactions between applications through identifying messages, branching logic and invocation sequences at the message and execution layers. Our composite service invokes both Indirection and Network services as part of the steps in the orchestration logic to serve videos through managed optical Ethernet connections with dedicated bandwidth. Mobile Service Invocation We developed an IMS client on an Android OS platform. User registration with IMS core is via the IMS Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA) protocol. The IMS client is SIP-enabled with MjSip, which is a complete java-based implementation of the standards-based SIP stack. Through this mobile version of an IMS client, we are now able to invoke services with equal impunity like a desktop PC IMS client.
