Abstract

The huge investment in 3G mobile licences is an incentive to develop extra services above and beyond basic telephony and data services. Service control provides an infrastructure to deliver services, particularly those of a real-time nature. This paper focuses on the progress in developing service control in the context of the 3GPP Release 4/5 network. To achieve the objectives for service evolution, mass service development and cost-effective services, three technologies are being pursued for service control. These are CAMEL, APIs and SIP service extensions.
