基于SAML的IMS与IPTV统一认证方法

针对IMS系统与IPTV系统融合发展过程中存在的用户跨域认证问题,提出了一种基于SAML断言的统一认证方法,引入可信第三方,通过SAML断言将不同系统的认证结果进行统一封装,从而支持跨不同系统用户安全认证,为融合过程中的用户认证、授权和计费提供了基础。     

Mobility management: from GPRS to UMTS

This paper describes mobility management for the third‐generation mobile networks. We focus on the evolution from General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) to Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS). In this evolution, the radio access network UTRAN has been introduced, and radio‐related management is moved from the core network to UTRAN. We elaborate on how this architecture change affects the mobility management functionality, including the attach and detach procedures, location update, serving radio network controller relocation and intersystem change between GPRS and UMTS.

GPRS、EDGE和UMTS／WCDMA

１GPRS（generalpacketradioservice）GPRS的推出标志着人们在GSM的发展史上迈出了意义重大的一步，是迈向3G个人多媒体业务的重要里程碑。全球GPRS市场已开始进入商业服务。随着社会信息化的发展，数据业务正以每年40%~50%的惊人速度高速增长。对于移动中的因特网接入服务，同样有着巨大的需求，用户希望不在办公室或家里的时候，也能接入因特网，GPRS能给用户提供这样的服务。GPRS最大的便利就是使移动用户能永远在线，及时了解信息，它的收费不是按照用户的上网时间，而是根据用户所得到的服务。得益于移动终端的不断改进，GP…     

Performance evaluation of an authentication solution for IMS services access

The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is an access-independent, IP based, service control architecture. Users’ authentication to the IMS takes place through the AKA (Authentication and Key Agreement) protocol, while Generic Bootstrapping Architecture (GBA) is used to authenticate users before accessing the multimedia services over HTTP. In this paper, we focus on the performance analysis of an IMS Service Authentication solution that we proposed and that employs the Identity Based Cryptography (IBC) to personalize each user access. We carry out the implementation of this solution on top of an emulated IMS architecture and evaluate its performance through different clients’ access scenarios. Performance results indicate that increase in the number of clients does not influence the average processing time and the average consumed resources of the GBA entities during the authentication. We also notice that the Bootstrapping Server Function (BSF) presents a bottleneck during the service authentication which helps in giving some guidelines for the GBA entities deployment.     

Lightweight Secure Roaming Mechanism Between GPRS/UMTS and Wireless LANs

The third generation partner project (3GPP) has standardized general packet radio service (GPRS) and the universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) to provide cell phone communications and wireless Internet services. Although the data transmission rate is lower than that of wireless local area networks (WLANs), GPRS/UMTS covers larger areas. Hence, to achieve higher speed ubiquitous access, we propose a lightweight secure roaming mechanism (LSRM) that integrates GPRS/UMTS and WLAN. Taking advantage of these two technologies, LSRM offers anonymous roaming and friendly subscriber management. Besides, we give a formal security analysis to LSRM based on BAN authentication logic.     

Mastering quality of service in GPRS/UMTS an overview

Quality of Service (QoS) has become a very important issue in networking, covering many performance aspects and numerous measures. The deployment of next generation wireless system includes 2.5G General Packet Radio Service (Gprs), which is the packet-switched extension of the Global System for Mobile communications (Gsm), and Third-Generation (3G) Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (Umts) to meet the needs of larger capacity and higher bit rates. AnUmts packet core network is an IP-based network. The Internet Engineering Task Force (Ietf) Forum developed several IP QoS related mechanisms available for IP transport networks. Service Quality Management (Sqm), one component of Telecommunication Management Network (Tun), will enable providers to manage QoS against objectives set out in customer Service Level Agreements (Slas) and will enable customers to compare the service offerings of different service providers.     

IMS客户端认证过程研究

IMS客户端基于IMS网络,是目前网络技术研究的前沿和热点。IMS客户端是最终用户享受IMS技术带来的诸多成果的最直接的表现方式。IMS客户端不同于传统的SIP客户端,其主要区别之一是其更安全的认证机制,它实现了网络与客户端的双重鉴权,从而使使用更加安全可靠。本文通过对已有的终端注册过程进行分析,现场测试保证了数据的真实性和相关理论方法的有效可行性,使读者能够进一步了解其鉴权的过程。为以后的开发者提供参考。

Determining the optimal buffer size for short message transfer in a heterogeneous GPRS/UMTS network

Multimedia messaging service (MMS) enables the transmission of messages with full content versatility between mobile devices and from applications to these devices, which can be used over the general packet radio service (GPRS)/universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) short message service (SMS) network. In the GPRS/UMTS SMS network, the serving GPRS support node (SGSN) stores the mobile-terminated message in a queue until it is successfully transferred to the mobile device or its maximum waiting time expires. If the mobile device moves from one SGSN area to another before the waiting time has expired, the queued message is forwarded to the new SGSN and is immediately removed from the waiting queue of the old SGSN. Taking the forwarding and the expiration effects of queued messages into account, the paper develops an analytical model to study the system performance of a heterogeneous GPRS/UMTS SMS network, in which the parameters (e.g., message arrival rate, SGSN area residence time, buffer size, etc.) of SGSNs can be varied. On the basis of the analytical model, an iterative method is proposed to determine the optimal buffer size so that the available bandwidth is fully utilized and the message loss probability is minimized.
