Beyond 3G video mobile video telephony: The role of 3G-324M in mobile video services

摘要

3G-324M is a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) umbrella standard for wireless video communications, which was created to satisfy the stringent requirements of real-time, low-delay interactive conversational video services. However it is, in practice, employed today in 3G networks to enable also a variety of multimedia services including messaging, streaming video chat and portals.
