Abstract:
This paper describes the potential to combine IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)-based IP Television (IPTV) services with a future-oriented web browser technology, the Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC). To enrich the quality of experience for residential customers using this upcoming technology, the article focuses on the merging of the technical capabilities arising from both the IMS-based IPTV services and the WebRTC clients. Advantages of these different technologies are introduced and involved in the authors’ concept. The presented proposal reuses the standardized IMS-based IPTV architecture as well as a state of the art WebRTC browser client. The ongoing WebRTC standardization process is considered. A first prototype has been developed successfully involving the Open IMS Core testbed, several IPTV typical components and the WebRTC client.
