Òhe functional architecture of the subsystem picture messaging-IMS (Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem) for multimedia session management for multiservice NGN/IMS networks that determine the interaction systems and NGN protocols are investigated. The basic element of the IMS core network architecture are session control function CSCF (Call/Session Control Function) which is implemented on the SIP-server (Session Initiation Protocol) using the protocol. A block diagram of the functioning of the traffic service model of multimedia services in the NGN/IMS network when establishing sessions that use the network elements of the user data server HSS (Home Subscriber Server), CSCF control system core, signaling and media gateways (SGW & MGW, Signaling Gateway & Media Gateway). The characteristics of the effectiveness of the IMS and found that in the NGN / IMS multimedia services network in real time significantly alter the traffic characteristics as a service, and efficiency, which requires new models and approaches to assess the main indicators of quality of the service Triple Play. Based on the analysis of the quality NGN/IMS networks in the provision multimedia services, the mathematical model for evaluating the quality of services. This model takes into account the properties of self-similar random process with Hurst index and describes the quality of functioning of NGN/IMS architectural concept. Based on the model studied when performing voice services with the ability to activate multimedia applications, video telephony, multimedia traffic, Triple Play services. According to the study of mathematical models of NGN / IMS networks using SIP-servers analytical expressions to assess the indicators of a common set of operating characteristics of IP-based networks, which take into account the recommendations of ITU-T Y.1540 and Y.2000 and determined the average waiting time in the queue IMS system in the provision of multimedia services with the required parameters, providing a guaranteed quality of service QoS (Quality of Service). According to the latest recommendations of the ITU-T and based on SMO with queues can be defined by five network characteristics that are indicative of the effectiveness of multi-service NGN/IMS networks and an important indicator of QoS.

The subject of the study is multiservice communication network using the concept NGN (Next Generation Network) based on the open network architecture IMS (Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem), supporting a wide range services. The basis of this architecture is the IMS core, consisting of a set of specialized modules responsible for various functions for customer service. The purpose of the article is to analyze the existing technical capabilities of the IMS multimedia messaging subsystem and perspective solutions for the functioning of the NGN/IMS network efficiency in providing multimedia service. As the efficiency of the system, the capacity NGN/IMS networks is selected using the signaling system and protocols NGN. The capacity NGN/IMS networks during the establishment of a multimedia session was analyzed and the functional architecture of the IMS multimedia messaging subsystem that determine the interaction NGN signaling systems an protocols was explored. Manage the presentation Triple Play services to subscribers and simultaneously modify the media stream within the session allows the protocol for the initialization of the SIP and Diameter sessions, which are the main IMS signaling protocol. One of the important requirements for the IMS subsystem is the maintenance QoS (Quality of Service). A mathematical model for estimating the quality of communication services using a system GI/G/1/N based on the theory diffusion approximation is proposed. The research presented in this paper is very important for the theory queuing systems, since the article proposes a method for investigating multiservice communication networks with non-Poisson incoming flow and effective results are obtained for NGN/IMS networks. On the basis of the model analytical expressions are obtained, which allow evaluating the performance indicators of the Triple Play service. The proposed mathematical model can be used to solve a wide range of practical problems, including the management multiservice traffic in the process its transmission in multiservice telecommunications networks, taking into account the quality of service classes. Thus, studies NGN/IMS network capacity indicators using SIP protocols are relevant.

The next generation wireless network needs to provide seamless roaming among various access technologies in a heterogeneous environment. In allowing users to access any system at anytime and anywhere, the performance of mobility-enabled protocols is important. While Mobile IPv6 is generally used to support macro-mobility, integrating Mobile IPv6 with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to support IP traffic will lead to improved mobility performance. Advanced resource management techniques will ensure Quality of Service (QoS) during real-time mobility within the Next Generation Network (NGN) platform. The techniques may use a QoS Manager to allow end-to-end coordination and adaptation of Quality of Service. The function of the QoS Manager also includes dynamic allocation of resources during handover. Heterogeneous networks raise many challenges in security. A security entity can be configured within the QoS Manager to allow authentication and to maintain trust relationships in order to minimize threats during system handover. The next generation network needs to meet the above requirements of mobility, QoS, and security.

Within recent years, the concept of Next Generation Networks (NGN) has become widely accepted within the telecommunication area, in parallel with the migration of telecommunication networks from traditional circuit-switched technologies such as ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) towards packet-switched NGN. In this context, SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), originally developed for Internet use only, has emerged as the major signalling protocol for multimedia sessions in IP (Internet Protocol) based NGN. One of the traditional limitations of IP when faced with the challenges of real-time communications is the lack of quality support at the network layer. In line with NGN specification work, international standardisation bodies have defined a sophisticated QoS (Quality of Service) architecture for NGN, controlling IP transport resources and conventional IP QoS mechanisms through centralised higher layer network elements via cross-layer signalling. Being able to centrally control QoS conditions for any media session in NGN without the imperative of a cross-layer approach would result in a feasible and less complex NGN architecture. Especially the demand for additional network elements would be decreased, resulting in the reduction of system and operational costs in both, service and transport infrastructure. This thesis proposes a novel framework for QoS optimisation for media sessions in SIP-based NGN without the need for cross-layer signalling. One key contribution of the framework is the approach to identify and logically group media sessions that encounter similar QoS conditions, which is performed by applying pattern recognition and clustering techniques. Based on this novel methodology, the framework provides functions and mechanisms for comprehensive resource-saving QoS estimation, adaptation of QoS conditions, and support of Call Admission Control. The framework can be integrated with any arbitrary SIP-IP-based real-time communication infrastructure, since it does not require access to any particular QoS control or monitoring functionalities provided within the IP transport network. The proposed framework concept has been deployed and validated in a prototypical simulation environment. Simulation results show MOS (Mean Opinion Score) improvement rates between 53 and 66 percent without any active control of transport network resources. Overall, the proposed framework comes as an effective concept for central controlled QoS optimisation in NGN without the need for cross-layer signalling. As such, by either being run stand-alone or combined with conventional QoS control mechanisms, the framework provides a comprehensive basis for both the reduction of complexity and mitigation of issues coming along with QoS provision in NGN.

Dans le nouveau paysage de convergence multiservices de l'approche NGN/IMS et en considérant les besoins de l'utilisateur NGN qui est mobile dans un environnement très hétérogène, nous avons proposé des adaptations informationnelles, architecturales et organisationnelles. Ces adaptations permettent de surveiller la mobilité inter et intra réseaux et de garantir la continuité de la QoS de bout en bout dans un environnement mono et multi provider(s). En effet, nous avons constaté que les bases de connaissances des profils des utilisateurs manquaient d'informations de QoS. Notre première contribution est donc d'ordre informationnel. Des informations de QoS sont ajoutées à la base HSS afin de l'enrichir. Ce que nous y exprimons sous forme de " profil de QoSd ". Ces nouvelles informations renseignent directement sur les décisions à prendre en fonction du profil utilisateur (préférences de QoS et de tarification, bandwidth, localisation, etc. ). Ainsi cette nouvelle base de connaissances orientée QoS permettra les adaptations dynamiques et rendra, par conséquent, la session IMS plus efficace. Nous avons proposé une modélisation de ces informations de QoS relatives aux profils des utilisateurs et aux services IMS offerts en utilisant les classes CIM que nous appelons " Pattern d'information IMS orienté QoS ". Du point de vue architectural, nous avons été amenés à définir de nouveaux composants afin d'intercepter les nouvelles informations de QoS nécessaires pour gérer et garantir la QoS demandée lors d'une session IMS en temps réel. Cette deuxième contribution forme le sous système " Interworking QoS Management Subsystem : IQMS ". IQMS collecte les informations extraites des protocoles impliqués lors d'une session IMS mobile et gère la mobilité des utilisateurs (QoS handover et QoS interworking) et de la session. Notre troisième contribution consiste à proposer un sous-système organisationnel pour la gestion de la QoS supportant la personnalisation du service dans un environnement multi providers, où un utilisateur pourrait s'abonner à un ou plusieurs opérateurs selon des critères de QoS. Cette approche constitue notre " Interworking QoS Management Subsystem multiple providers: IQMSmp "
In the new landscape of multi-service convergence of the NGN/IMS approach and considering the needs of the user of NGN, that is mobile in a very heterogeneous environment, we have proposed informational, architectural and organizational adaptations in order to monitor the inter network mobility of access and ensure the complete continuity of the QoS in such an environment. Indeed, we have noticed that the bases of the knowledge of the users' profiles lack decision-making information relative to a later analysis. Consequently, there is a need to raise the level of abstraction of the available information. Our first contribution is therefore informational. Decisional information are added to the HSS basis to enrich the knowledge base, which is expressed under the form of "profile of QoSd", where the new information inform directly the decisions to be taken according to the user's profile (preferences QoS and pricing, bandwidth, location. . . . ). Thus, this new knowledge basis will allow dynamic adaptations and will, therefore, make the IMS session more effective. We have, therefore, modeled QoS information relative to users' profiles and IMS offered services by using the CIM classes that we call "QoS Pattern of the IMS information". From the architectural point of view, we have simulated new components to intercept the useful lacking information to ensure the management of an IMS session in real time. Our second contribution consists in adding new components of constituent management IQMS: "Interworking QoS Management Subsystem", that collect the extracted information from the protocols at all levels in a mobile IMS session and will be able to manage the users' mobility (QoS handover and QoS interworking). Our third contribution is proposed organizational subsystem for QoS management in the multiple providers context when a user can to subscribe to one or several providers according to QoS criteria "Interworking QoS Management Subsystem multiple providers: IQMSmp"
