GENESISX: New Improvements in the Deployment and Start Up of Services in NGN Architectures

摘要

This article describes the proposed goals of the European Project GENESISX, once the obtained results of the previous project GENESIS have been analyzed. The main goal of the new project is to improve the work done in GENESIS adding a new layer of mobility in the service deployment and start up platform in order to investigate a pre-commercial prototype to offer, deploy and validate advanced communication services based on the premises of the NGN/IMS architectures. Users will access to the services using terminals connected to wireless access networks with WIMAX technologies. For those cases, where users will not have direct connectivity and, therefore, they will not have access to the platform; this will be achieved through ad-hoc technologies, including P2P (peer-to-peer). The offered services include multi videoconference applications with web access and assuring quality of service both in the access and in the backbone network.
