Development of media resource broker and transcoder for QOS support in next generation network

Abstract

Telecommunications is now the fastest changing part of the IT industry, which includes vast disciplines from distributed systems to real time application. The challenges of new communication architecture are to offer QoS in Internet Network. As many real time services and multimedia applications become popular, providing guaranteed quality of service to Internet user is an important issue for next generation network. Media resource broker (MRB) is the mediator between client mobile and media server. When client wants to run a video on his mobile then mobile sends service request to the application server. An application server receives the service request and sends a request for media server resources to a media server resource broker. Therefore the investigation on how media resource broker (MRB) and media transcoder will take care of the quality of the video, and the synchronization issue in next generation networks (NGN).
