A mobile middleware component providing vocie over IP services to mobile users

摘要

The ACTS project MOVE currently designs and develops a middleware architecture called Voce-Enabled Mobile Application Support Environment (VE-MASE). The VE-MASE enhances the middle-ware architecture, which was developed in the ACTS project On The-Move, by providing support for interactive real-time multimedia applictions and integrated voice and data services. In preparation for future 3~(rd) generation mobile networks, the aim is to enable a completely new class of interactive multimedia services targeted at, but not limited to, mobile devices that are equipped with the VE-MASE. This paper discusses the VE-MASE component called Audio Gateway, which is responsible for providing Internet Telephony services to mobile users.
