Command Line Supplementary services: Starting point.

Posted by whitelassiblog on August 27, 2009

The starting point for implementing IMS supplementary services will be the OIP and OIR services. These are the most basic supplementary services in the legacy world, widely understood and used.

After OIP/OIR, I will implement the TIP and TIR supplementary services.

Supplementary services will later on be integrated with the Personal Network Management application.

The 3GPP specs that are of interest for this implementation are:

1. 3GPP TS 24.173

2. 3GPP TS 24.607

3. 3GPP TS 24.608

For any queries, feel free to leave comments to this post.

Thanks.

IP Short Message Gateway sub-project started.

Posted by whitelassiblog on May 22, 2009

Hello, 

The IP Short Message Gateway sub-project skeleton was commited in the SVN.

Right now, only the project structure, some JPA classes, project libs and a MySQL script have been commited. In due course of time, the code will start flowing in as per the implementation of the 3GPP standards…

This gateway aims to interwork SMS messages on the SS7 side with the IMS instant messages on SIP. It will also provide deferred deliovery of SIP MESSAGES on the IMS side.

Feel free to browse it at the SVN here: whitelassi-ipsmgw

Feel like contributing ?? Leave a message here, and we can discuss it.

Posted by whitelassiblog on April 29, 2009

Some days back, i commited a JSF project skeleton in the SVN, which will eventually become the management console for provisioning and service management.

You can find the commit here: whitelassi-management-console

Contributions in any form are welcome !

The technologies which i plan to use are:

1. JSF RI

2. RichFaces

3. Ajax4JSF

Feel free to chime in with ideas and recommendations for this sub project.

Short-term Agenda and roadmap for the project

Posted by whitelassiblog on February 5, 2009

Hello,

Since this project has started, there has been steady progress in the form of a healthy code base being setup in the repository in addition to documentation and tutorial links.  The core functionality of the PNM registrar is also almost complete. There have been discussions on the group regarding the GUI technology to be used for the PNM communications server.

You can catch the discussions on the GUI  HERE and HERE.

Moreover, I have set up the code base for utility SBBs for offline (post-paid) and online (pre-paid) charging on DIAMETER protocol. This is in addition to a utility hook to talk to the IMS HSS. The code and the links to it have been shared on the blog in earlier posts. 

I feel this is the right time to consolidate the progress of the project, complete ‘almost completed’ tasks, test them out and chalk out a roadmap for the future, that realizes the final architecture given HERE

I believe that clubbing together supplementary services from the IMS domain, with a user friendly PNM server will be a good combination. This combination can be made customizable using a GUI console. 

Thus, I have chalked out a roadmap and short term agenda for the project: 

1. Review the code committed so far.

2. Complete the loose ends.

3. Test the code with sipp scenarios. Fix bugs as and when found.

4. Start the IMS supplementary service design.

5. Finalize the GUI framework and start designing the GUI.

If you feel, that you can contribute in any way to the project, feel free to join in. The GUI is one place where contributions are welcome and needed for example. 

Looking forward….
