Abstract

Mobile communications beyond 3G will integrate different (but complementary) access technologies into a common platform to deliver value-added services and multimedia content in an optimum way. However, the numerous possible configurations of mobile networks complicated the dynamic deployment of mobile applications. Therefore, research is intensely seeking a service provisioning framework that is technology-independent, supports multiple wireless network technologies, and can interwork high-level service management tasks to network management operations. This paper presents an open value chain paradigm, a model for downloadable applications and a mediating platform for service provisioning in beyond 3G mobile settings. Furthermore, we introduce mechanisms that support a coupled interaction between service deployment and network configuration operations, focusing on the dynamic provisioning of QoS state to data path devices according to the requirements of dynamically downloadable mobile value-added services (VAS).

The terms “service,” “value-added service” and “application” are used interchangeably to refer to an information technology product which is directly perceptible to the end user and whose value resides mostly in functionality and/or content, rather than transport and/or connectivity.

Both applications have been developed during the MOBIVAS project.

Network security policies may limit the range of permissible IP addresses & port numbers (e.g., when port blocking is enforced by a network firewall). Naturally, the VASP would be informed about such security restrictions as part of his partnership with the service provision platform operator.
