A method and units to enhance mobile communication networks with ad-hoc scenarios

摘要

The underlying invention generally relates to the field of mobile communication networks, ad-hoc networking and service provisioning in mobile ad-hoc communication networks (304, 308) with high-speed access, especially to a business model concerning the enhancement of conventional mobile telecommunications architectures with ad-hoc networking and ad-hoc scenarios by providing value-added services under the regulation of network providers, thereby including authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) issues.;A mobile telecommunication device (302) for operating multi-media applications in at least one mobile ad-hoc communication network (304, 308) comprises an ad-hoc computing manager (ACM) unit for managing and providing multimedia applications on the basis of a communication with one or more other mobile telecommunication devices (302). Thereby, said ad-hoc computing manager (ACM) unit controls a device discovery manager (DDM) unit for detecting the availability of one or more mobile telecommunication devices (302) and/or at least one mobile ad-hoc communication network (304, 308), a service discovery manager unit (SDM) for providing available services from and/or for said mobile ad-hoc communication network (304, 308), and a tuple space manager (TSM) unit for providing a tuple space functionality for multimedia applications within the context of at least one mobile ad-hoc communication network (304, 308).;The invention focuses on application level and business model aspects with respect to mobile communication systems (with particular care to AAA and value added service chain issues)
