Mobile Service Platforms
• Mobile network coexistence– Circuit switched IN, CAMEL– Packet switched IMS
• Emerge of packet based services• Emerge of packet based services– 1st phase (push-to-talk) with limited success– Cost reduction drives All IP Network
• Packet-based service control platform for all services: IMSO t diff ti ti th h i bl t • Operator differentiation through service enablers to for a service delivery platform (Application Servers)– Content handlingg– Session mobility, Roaming– Subscriber and device management

Advanced Mobile Service Platform: SPICE
• SPICE (Service Platform for Innovative Communication Environment)– IST-FP6 Integrated Project (part of Wireless World Initiative)– Coordinator: France Telecom– Duration: 01/2006 – 06/2008 (30 months)/ / ( )– Budget: 22 M€
i i d d l l d• Vision: to design, develop, evaluate and prototype an extendable overlay architecture and framework that supports– Easy and quick service creation of intelligent and ambient-aware services– Cooperation of multiple heterogeneous execution environments– Pan-European seamless delivery of services across operator domains,
networks and terminals
• Consortium composition: 23 partners– 6 operators, 7 manufacturers, 7 Research Centers / Universities, 2 SMEs– 1 consultancy company

Key achievements of SPICE
• Service Delivery Platform Architecture linking to IMS and embedding a knowledge layer
• Component-based middleware layer ensuring the inter-working of distributed service components
– Life-cycle managerLife cycle manager
– Semantic publication and discovery
– Service broker
– Service roaming manager
• Advanced semantically-enhanced service creation and composition tools and composition tools
• Distributed Communication Sphere Management system (Dynamic Desktop, multimodal delivery,…)y ( y p, y, )
• Access control framework
• Development of a set of Intelligent service enablers

Service Roaming in SPICE
Service roaming would allow a user to have access to his/her subscribed services or composite services regardless of the administrative domains or countries with a foreign operator new value added services

Outlook
Outlook: Distributed Service Platform
• Distributed IMS P2PSIP • Distributed IMS, P2PSIP scalable, cost reduction
• Example: femtocell-based distributed service platform "P-Gate"

Concepts
Distributed Service Platform• Physically distribute intelligencey y g• Move part of the service logic to network edges• Offload central servers
h h h lf d d l bl• Enhance services through self-organized and scalable capabilities in the network/at the edges (e.g., storage, proxy)
• Allow peer-to-peer service provisioning for low revenue (flat rate) services, e.g., best effort voice (Skype!)(Skype!)
• Differentiated controllability, availability, reliability and performance and coupling with operator infrastructure
• Opening up enablers to third parties profit from 3rd
party overlay applications
