Abstract
IPTV (Internet Protocol television) is one of the fast-growing communication services of the past years. Unfortunately, there is a lack of standardized deployed solutions and operators need to to rethink their position before upgrading IPTV solutions for next generation TV (HD TV and 3D TV). An efficient and up-to-date Interoperability Test Specification for IMS-Based IPTV is one of the opportunities for service providers and network operators to evaluate different features and services. TISPAN Release 3 covers many new use cases and features for IPTV (like user generated content, target advertising, etc.) and possible interactions with Voice/Data communications such as Social TV, Incoming Voice call management and notification on TV screen. In this paper, we will first provide a general overview of interoperability testing and its features. On an Instant Messaging use case, we will provide test descriptions including an end user test sequence as well as high level message flows at key standardized reference points in the TISPAN IMS-based IPTV infrastructure.
Highlights
The current and future e-Communications market can be seen as a convergent multimedia market with an increasingly complex structure
This kind of interoperability is often centred on communication protocols and the infrastructure needed for those protocols to operate
IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is a key component of the Next-Generation Networks and IPTV has been identified as one of the first services to be merged with Voice/Data communications on IMS architecture
Summary
The current and future e-Communications market can be seen as a convergent multimedia market with an increasingly complex structure. Within the present competitive environment, the risk of non-interoperability is increasing because of fast evolution of technology provided by different vendors, or the use of non-open standards. Against this background there is an ever-increasing awareness of market players and regulators that mass-market development requires interoperability based on open standards. With the introduction of IPTV, traditional wireline service providers and content providers are entering a new market delivering broadcast and VoD (Video on Demand) services to consumers. ETSI TISPAN Release 3 covers many new use cases and features for IPTV (like user generated content, target advertising, etc.) and possible interactions with Voice/Data communications such as Social TV, Incoming Voice call management and notification on TV screen. On an Instant Messaging use case, we show test descriptions including an end user test sequence as well as high level message flows at key standardized reference points
