Summary:
Clear, concise and comprehensive view of
IMS and Rich Communication Suite (RCS) for developers Shows how
to use RCS to create innovative applications for rapid uptake
by end-users Covers service and operator scenarios for the IMS
architecture Explains IMS architecture and protocols, from an
application developer's perspective IMS Application Developer's
Handbook gives a hands-on view of exactly what needs to be done
by IMS application developers to develop an application and
take it "live" on an operator's network. It offers practical
guidance on building innovative applications using the features
and capabilities of the IMS network, and shows how the rapidly
changing development environment is impacting on the business
models employed in the industry and how existing network
solutions can be moved towards IMS. Elaborating on how IMS
applies basic VoIP principles and techniques to realize a true
multi-access, and multimedia network, this book ensures that
developers know how to use IMS most effectively for
applications. Written by established experts in the IMS core
network and IMS service layer, with roots in ISDN and GSM, with
experience from working at Ericsson, who have been active in
standardisation and technology development and who have been
involved in many customer projects for the implementation of
fixed mobile converged IMS network and service. The authors of
this book bring their in-depth and extensive knowledge in the
organizations involved in the IMS standardization and its
architecture. Clear, concise and comprehensive view of the IMS
