Multimedia Group Communication: Push-to-Talk over Cellular, Presence and List Management Concepts and Applications (Hardcover)

Group communication technologies enable users to form different types of mobile groups and to interact in real time with the participants of these groups.

This book provides an in-depth overview of Multimedia Group Communications in the mobile domain.  It specifies multimedia group communication concepts, introduces a range of applications, and proposes an evolution path. The concepts cover the "walkie-talkie" voice over IP service, XML list management, and Presence awareness technologies. The applications section embraces session control for closed professional groups and for open consumer groups. The evolution path includes exciting developments such as ‘infotainment’ and communication with non-human group members. 

Key Features:

• Easy to understand explanation of the Push to Talk over Cellular (PoC) service, as specified by the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA)

   

• Provides technical description of XML Document Management and SIMPLE Presence services

   

• Gives examples on how to deploy group communication services over 3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and between IMS domains

   

• Describes innovative use cases for multimedia group communication through integration with value-added services and through the next generation of OMA enablers

Multimedia Group Communications is the first exploration to the field of one-to-many connectivity paradigm. It provides essential information on group communication for engineers, programmers and business managers working in the mobile arena, and will also be useful to business development planners and technically aware users.

群組通訊技術使用者能夠組成不同類型的移動群組，並與這些群組的參與者實時互動。

本書在移動領域提供了對多媒體群組通訊的深入概述。它具體介紹了多媒體群組通訊的概念，介紹了一系列應用程序，並提出了一個演進路徑。這些概念涵蓋了“對講機”語音IP服務、XML列表管理和存在感技術。應用程序部分包括對封閉專業群組和開放消費者群組的會話控制。演進路徑包括與非人類群組成員的“信息娛樂”和通訊等令人興奮的發展。

主要特點：
- 對由Open Mobile Alliance（OMA）指定的基於蜂窩通信的按鈕式對講（PoC）服務進行易於理解的解釋。
- 提供XML文檔管理和SIMPLE存在服務的技術描述。
- 提供在3GPP IP多媒體子系統（IMS）和IMS域之間部署群組通訊服務的示例。
- 描述了通過與增值服務的集成以及通過下一代OMA啟用器實現的多媒體群組通訊的創新用例。

《多媒體群組通訊》是對一對多連接模式領域的首次探索。它為在移動領域工作的工程師、程序員和業務經理提供了有關群組通訊的基本信息，同時也對業務發展規劃者和技術意識的用戶有用。
