Proactive Security for VoIP Networks

Abstract

The deployment of Voice-over-IP (VoIP), or IP telephony, is accelerating rapidly. Due to the numerous benefits of VoIP systems, including the reduced cost of deployment and management, IP-PBXs are now outselling traditional PBXs and, by 2009, will represent 91 percent of all enterprise phone systems worldwide. As more and more private- and public-sector organizations and service providers plan the migration to VoIP and the associated emerging real-time services, such as IP TV, conferencing, and IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), the need to secure IP communications is becoming increasingly urgent.     

Supporting Ubiquitous IMS-based Teleconferencing Through Discovery and Composition of IMS and Web Components

Natural communication among people happens in flexible ways and is strongly affected by the users’ situation (such as communication tools available, user’s location, and user’s preferences). This situation or context information is seldom used to initiate communication sessions among users. Current communication systems are indifferent about users’ context, often require time consuming manual configurations and often result in conferencing tools not being easily accessible when needed. This leads to lower adoption of innovative communications services. IMS SIP (IP Multimedia Subsystem, Session Initiation Protocol) sessions allow users to access the session from different points of contact (home, office, etc.), however, IMS still requires a prior knowledge of all SIP components that might be used in a SIP session. Furthermore, IMS makes limited use of context information (mainly user-defined availability). To address these issues our research approach combines techniques from pervasive computing with IMS networking principles to facilitate compositions of communication sessions based on users’ context. We propose a platform and APIs for pervasive application development support to allow greater intelligence in IMS applications. We additionally provide mechanisms for IMS applications to apply their intelligence to the configuration of physical devices and web resources used to set up a conference. The innovations proposed in this paper are: (1) A new standard for intelligent IMS-based conferencing applications. (2) Application Development Interfaces (APIs) for a platform for pervasive computing. (3) An architecture for a pervasive IMS platform.

The IP multimedia domain: service architecture for the delivery of voice, data, and next generation multimedia applications

The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is defined by the 3 ^rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as a new core network domain. IMS provides a service control platform that allows creation of new multimedia and multi-session applications utilizing wireless and wireline transport capabilities. In this paper we will cover the concepts and standards defining IMS and review the network architecture from a mobile perspective. We will see how IMS interacts with the Packet Switched Domain (e.g. Wireless LAN, GPRS, and UMTS networks), the Internet, and application services. Then we will examine the key IMS capabilities and show how they can be combined to create new mobile IP services. Finally, we present a software architecture, which is enabled by IMS and allows development of unique applications (with multimedia/multi-session functionality, single/multi-user, service to user). The software architecture is illustrated by an example of a prototype application. This work was done when the author was with Siemens Communications Inc., Boca Raton, FL

Why do users like video?

Three studies of collaborative activity were conducted as part of research in developing multimedia technology to support collaboration. One study surveyed users' opinions of their use of video conference rooms. Users indicated that the availability of the video conference rooms was too limited, audio quality needed improvement, and a shared drawing space was needed. A second study analyzed videotapes of a work group when meeting face-to-face, video conferencing, and phone conferencing. The analyses found that the noticeable audio delay in video conferencing made it difficult for the participants to manage turn-taking and coordinate eye glances. In the third study, a distributed team was observed under three conditions: using their existing collaboration tools, adding a desktop conferencing prototype (audio, video, and shared drawing tool), and subtracting the video capability from the prototype. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected by videotaping the team, interviewing the team members individually, and recording their usage of the phone, electronic mail, face-to-face meetings, and desktop conferencing. The team's use of the desktop conferencing prototype dropped significantly when the video capability was removed. Analysis of the videotape data showed how the video channel was used to help mediate their interaction and convey visual information. Desktop conferencing apparently reduced e-mail usage and was perceived to reduce the number of shorter, two-person, face-to-face meetings.

A Cross-Layer Analysis of Session Setup Delay in IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) With EV-DO Wireless Transmission

This paper analyzes the session setup delay in the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) with the CDMA2000 evolution data only rev. A (EV-DO rev. A) standard for wireless transmission. Session setup delay is particularly critical for interactive multimedia applications, such as gaming, push-to-X and voice over IP (VoIP), as it directly translates in user perception of service quality. Keeping signaling delay low, however, is a challenge in IMS due to the text-based nature of the session initiation protocol (SIP) for signaling, and, more significantly, due to the lossy and capacity constrained wireless links. To address this challenge, we analyze the session setup delay end-to-end, by taking into account key system properties across all layers, ranging from radio links to IMS signaling architecture. We present a model for cross-layer performance analysis and simulation, which includes the statistical properties of the EV-DO (rev. A) wireless channel, and also takes into consideration the properties of transport protocols (TCP, UDP) and SIP signaling (message size and compression). By means of analysis and simulations, we study the setup delay performance of a generic, multi-operator IMS communication scenario between two mobile users. We describe how session setup delay can be estimated and reduced in realistic IMS settings and we propose architecture alternatives to the basic IMS scenario. The results derived from this study show that the proposed methods can incrementally lead to a lower setup delay and less sensitivity to the radio transmission quality and frame error rate compared to the base IMS scenario
