The communication model for real-time web service in telecom domain

Development of services that span over the Internet and Telecom networks is driving significant efforts towards the integration of services offered by Telecom operators. The telecommunications R&D community also starts adapting and developing similar service delivery platforms to offer a wide range of new value-added services faster and more cost efficiently inspired by the success of Web service technologies for the development and deployment of IT services. In this paper, we have an analysis for Telecom Web services communication requirements and also propose Telecom Web services communication model considering the specific characteristics as state, asynchronous, event-driven communications in Telecom domain. We focus on the design and implementation details for real-time Web service communication model in Telecom domain, and as the framework of communication model for Telecom Web services, the enhanced state machine design and implementation, and the messages dispatching design and implementation for Telecom Web services communication model, and also illustrate the third party end call control scenarios. Finally, we give the conclusion and future essential work. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
