What is SIP
 Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
 Not a VoIP protocol, but a Multi-Media over IP (MMoIP)
technology
 A text-based, application layer protocol for creating,
modifying, and terminating multimedia communication
sessions over the Internet
 SIP is an Internet standard (not telco), defined by IETF
(Internet Engineering Task Force) RFC 3261
 Leverages other Internet standards: Session Description
Protocol (SDP), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)
 SIP networks consist of 4 types of logical SIP network servers:
Proxy, Redirect, Registrar, User Agents

SESSION INITIATION PROTOCOL (SIP)

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
 Originated in mid-90s from Columbia University by co-author of Realtime Transport Protocol (RTP) and Real Time Streaming Protocol
(RTSP), to define a standard for Multiparty Multimedia Session
Control (MMUSIC)
 Developed, and standardized by the SIP Working Group of Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF), published initially as RFC 2543
 IETF is the primary standards body for most Internet protocols, such
as HTTP (RFC 2616), RTP, etc.
 Application-level signaling protocol for initiating, modifying and
terminating multimedia communication sessions over IP networks
 SIP messags use text-based encoding like HTTP
 Session Description Protocol (SDP) – describes media capabilities and
characteristics of SIP devices
 Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) – used for real-time multimedia
data transport over UDP/IP
 Resource Reservation Setup Protocol (RSVP) – used to establish
voice quality of service

SIP Network Entities


SIP protocol specifies 4 types of logical SIP network entities: User Agent,
Proxy Server, Redirect Server, Registrar Server
3GPP IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)

3GPP has chosen SIP as the standard signaling protocol for establishing
multimedia communications sessions in 3G, all-IP networks based on UMTS
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. |
28
SIP SERVLETS (JSR-116)
 SIP Servlet API
 Standardized thru JCP as JSR-116 (spec
lead: Cisco/dynamicsoft)
 Specifies execution environment for
network-based SIP applications
 Implemented on SIP-enabled J2EE app
servers
 Builds on J2EE HTTP Servlet APIs
 Enables Servlets to do SIP signaling, either
as a User Agent or Proxy
 Specifies “converged” SIP-HTTP Servlet
containers
 Declarative and programmatic security
 SIP Protocol Support
 RFC 3261 – SIP protocol
 RFC 3265 – Event Notification
 RFC 3428 – SIP MESSAGE Method

CLICK-TO-CALL/DIAL
 Ability to initiate a telephony session from a hyperlink from a
Web browser or desktop application
 Initiate calls from MS Outlook-like contact lists via click from a
PC, PDA, mobile device
 Calls are routed via SIP to other IP communication end-points,
or routed from the IP network to circuit-switched network
devices via PSTN-IP gateways
 Enables addition of presence, availability and location data for
higher value-add
 Can be embedded into Instant Messaging and other Web-based
portal applications to “call-enable” existing applications
 Sample use cases:
 Web-based directory service
 Call sales/support reps directly from the corporate website
 Call sales/marketing reps from direct marketing e-mails
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. |
42
REAL-TIME VIDEO SHARING
 Peer-to-peer, real-time, multimedia video streaming service.
 Can be offered over full packet-switched networks, or as
“combo” service, combining both circuit and packet switched
networks.
 “Combinational” use case – Send video/pictures over packet
network during a circuit-switched phone call.
 Enriches the end-user experience by exchanging pictures, video clips,
or live video streams during a phone call.
 Operators can leverage PSTN infrastructure, investments, telephony
performance, user familiarity, and expertise.
 Video content is delivered, and consumed, in near real-time,
with marginal latency.
 Provides live end-user experiences of “being there” and “sharing
the moment”.
 Spirit of “Live” – Even when sharing stored video clips, “liveness” is maintained since an on-going voice conversation is
maintained.
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. |
43
INSTANT MESSAGING
 Allow end-users to send/receive messages instantly
 Messages can contain any MIME-type media content
 Text
 Images
 Audio/Video
 Application data
 SIP and IMS bring instant messaging to mobile devices
without interoperability issues
 Provides store & forward capabilities
 Presence-based intelligent messaging forwarding
 Support message delivery to non-SIP devices, such as
MMS endpoints
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. |
44
VOICE INSTANT MESSAGING
 Form of instant messaging, but instead of sending text,
it’s using audio files to send voice messaging.
 End-users can record voice messages instantly using
applications in their phones, or use existing audio files
stored on their devices.
 Like IM, voice messages can be sent to one or more
recipients.
 Use-case scenarios
 Impulse Messaging – Spontaneous urge to be verbal
 Fast-n-Easy – Talking is faster and easier than typing in text
using a phone/PDA keyboard
 Individualism – Voice communication is more natural,
personal, and individualistic, including singing
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. |
45
VOICE-VIDEO TELEPHONY
 Enables users to add video to an existing voice call,
depending on the multimedia capabilities of the other
party’s communication device
 SIP enables real-time, peer-to-peer, 1-1, and multiparty
voice and video telephony over the IP network
 SIP-PSTN interoperability allows IP-based voice/video
telephony sessions with circuit-switched video
communication sessions
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. |
46
VIDEO CONFERENCING
 Enables real-time addition of other video call participants
into an existing 1-1 video call session
 Extends point-to-point video calls to multi-point video
sessions
 A video conference bridge links together multiple point-topoint video calls into a single video conference
 Video telephony connections are established from the endpoint terminasl to the video conference bridge
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. |
47
MULTI-CHANNEL TELEVOTING
 Extends televoting systems to end-users using different
access networks, e.g. fixed, wireless, IP, cable, etc.
 Allows existing televoting applications to tally votes from
multiple voting mechanisms, such as IVR, SMS, WAP,
MMS, etc.
 Voting application can incorporate location-based network
data to provide real-time, region-specific, voting results
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. |
48
AUTO-INITIATED CONFERENCE CALLS
 Network initiates pre-scheduled conference call, based on
the network availability presence data of each core
participant for a scheduled conference call, and dials-in
each user
 Application can leverage plug-ins to enterprise calendaring
systems (MS Outlook), and Parlay X Web Services
network interfaces
 Removes the end-user inconvenience of having to
navigate through conference call announcement menus,
and remembering meeting passwords
 Encourages increased usage of auto-conferencing services
 Provides Network Operators a branding opportunity on
end-user desktops and devices
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. |
49
RICH-MEDIA ENTERPRISE
COLLABORATION
 Add voice, video, presence, location capabilities to existing
enterprise collaboration applications and portals
 Extends existing MS Outlook/Lotus Workplace-like
enterprise collaboration applications with real-time “live”,
voice-video-web-email-file sharing-IM-presence

using voice/click/dial-initiated Emergency Assistance
number
 Leverages Parlay X-based Telecom Web Services
 User Location Web Service - Determines end-user proximity to
nearest Auto Service Provider
 User Status Web Service – Determines availability of end-user
and nearest Auto Service Vehicle
 Call Routing Web Service – Establishes call between end-user
with nearest, available Auto Service Vehicle operator
©2005 BEA Systems, Inc. |
51
PUSH-TO-TALK OVER CELLULAR
 Provides direct 1-1/1-many voice communication services over
2.5G/3G cellular networks e.g. GPRS/EDGE, 1xRTT, 1xEvDO
 Brings two-way communications to regular cellular phones
 Enables end-users to communicate 1-1, or 1-many
 Extremely short call set-up times (no need to dial; just push)
 Enables new business opportunities using real-time, always-on,
“walkie-talkie” voice communications
