Product Description
Review
"The excellent presentation of content will make this book appeal to a wide audience…an invaluable guide to IMS…" (Computing Reviews.com, August 11, 2006)
Product Description
The IMS: IP Multimedia Concepts and Services in the Mobile Domain, Second Edition, builds on the success of the previous best–selling edition, providing comprehensive coverage of IMS – its concepts, architecture, protocols and functionalities with a wealth of new and updated material.
Mobile telephony with the current technology has been hugely successful and demonstrates the immense value of communicating with peers while being mobile, and with increasingly available smarter multimedia terminals, the communication experience will be something more than just exchanging voice. These multimedia terminals need IP multimedia networks. Hence the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has developed a standard for SIP–based IP multimedia service machinery known as ‘The IMS’ (IP Multimedia Subsystem). This completely up–to–date and informative guide explains everything you need to know about it...
Key features of the Second Edition include:
- Two new chapters on push–to–talk over cellular and group management.
- Additional new material includes: fixed and mobile convergence, interworking between IPv4 and IPv6 in the IMS, combined circuit–switched and IMS services (combinational services), IMS security and alternative session establishment procedures.
- More coverage of the benefits of IMS, particularly with regard to its role in fixed–mobile convergence.
- Special emphasis on services, featuring more detailed descriptions of presence, messaging, group management and push–to–talk over cellular (conferencing).
- Updates on Third Generation Partnership Project Agreement (3GPP) Release 6 level.
- New examples and case studies, including a variety of scenarios, how to handle multiple terminals and end–user preferences.
Written in a manner that allows readers to choose the level of knowledge and understanding they need to gain about the IMS, this volume will have instant appeal to a wide ranging audience including marketing managers, research and development engineers, network engineers, developes, test engineers and university students.

The IMS: IP Multimedia Concepts and Services
17 Mar 2007
Format:Hardcover
This book stands out amongst the limited titles on IMS,which are really comprehensive in nature and would specially seem very well structured in terms of flow of information to those who have tried to go through endless revisions of 3GPP standards.But where this book disappoints is that it has only and only reffered to 3GPP standards and have got no referrence to 3GPP2 and some delta specifications by Cablelabs for cable service providers.

definitive but riddled with jargon
20 Feb 2008
Format:Hardcover
The book is dense with the acronym-ridden jargon of this field. To someone new to the Internet Protocol, this can be a practical impediment to understanding. What you have to do is grit your teeth and focus on the ideas beneath the terminology.
The subject itself is potentially quite promising. One possible direction for richer multimedia messages, in the limit of "convergence". The book also addresses mostly the prospect of wireless messaging, ie. cellphones. While IMS can certainly occur on the traditional landline connections to the Internet, it is the tie-ins to mobile networks that motivates much of the text.

Good IMS Book
5 Aug 2007
Format:Hardcover
Good IMS book with satisfactory beginner to advanced content. Can benefit from some format enhancements and a better hierarchical approach to the IMS. Otherwise, I definitely recommend.
