Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), has emulated the simplicity of the protocol architecture of hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and is being popularized for VoIP over the Internet because of the ease with which it can be meshed with web services. However, it is difficult to know exactly how many requests for comments (RFCs) have been published over the last two decades in regards to SIP or how those RFCs are interrelated. Handbook on Session Initiation Protocol: Networked Multimedia Communications for IP Telephony solves that problem. It is the first book to put together all SIP-related RFCs, with their mandatory and optional texts, in a chronological and systematic way so that it can be used as a single super-SIP RFC with an almost one-to-one integrity from beginning to end, allowing you to see the big picture of SIP for the basic SIP functionalities. It is a book that network designers, software developers, product manufacturers, implementers, interoperability testers, professionals, professors, and researchers will find to be very useful. The text of each RFC from the IETF has been reviewed by all members of a given working group made up of world-renowned experts, and a rough consensus made on which parts of the drafts need to be mandatory and optional, including whether an RFC needs to be Standards Track, Informational, or Experimental. Texts, ABNF syntaxes, figures, tables, and references are included in their original form. All RFCs, along with their authors, are provided as references. The book is organized into twenty chapters based on the major functionalities, features, and capabilities of SIP.

The integration of fifth generation (5G) wireless technologies with distributed artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming network operations. AI is increasingly embedded in all network elements, from cloud and edge to terminal devices, enabling AI to function as a networking system. This convergence facilitates AI-based applications across the global network, with notable successes in various domains such as computer vision, natural language processing, and healthcare. Networked Artificial Intelligence: AI-Enabled 5G Networking a comprehensive framework for the deep integration of computing and communications, optimizing networks and applications as a unified system using AI. The book covers topics ranging from networked AI fundamentals to AI-enabled 5G networks, including agent modeling, machine learning (ML) algorithms, and network protocol architectures. It discusses how network service providers can leverage AI and ML techniques to customize network baselines, reduce noise, and accurately identify issues. It also looks at AI-driven networks that enable self-correction for maximum uptime and prescriptive actions for issue resolution, as well as troubleshooting by capturing and storing data before network events. The book presents a comprehensive approach to AI-enabled networking that offers unprecedented opportunities for efficiency, reliability, and innovation in telecommunications. It works through the approach’s five steps of connection, communication, collaboration, curation, and community. These steps enhance network effects, empowering operators with insights for trusted automation, cost reduction, and optimal user experiences. The book also discusses AI and ML capabilities that enable networks to continuously learn, self-optimize, and predict and rectify service degradations proactively, even with full automation.

IMS Application Developer's Handbook gives a hands-on view of exactly what needs to be done by IMS application developers to develop an application and take it "live" on an operator's network. It offers practical guidance on building innovative applications using the features and capabilities of the IMS network, and shows how the rapidly changing development environment is impacting on the business models employed in the industry and how existing network solutions can be moved towards IMS. Elaborating on how IMS applies basic VoIP principles and techniques to realize a true multi-access, and multimedia network, this book ensures that developers know how to use IMS most effectively for applications. Written by established experts in the IMS core network and IMS service layer, with roots in ISDN and GSM, with experience from working at Ericsson, who have been active in standardisation and technology development and who have been involved in many customer projects for the implementation of fixed mobile converged IMS network and service. The authors of this book bring their in-depth and extensive knowledge in the organizations involved in the IMS standardization and its architecture. - Clear, concise and comprehensive view of the IMS and Rich Communication Suite (RCS) for developers - Written by established experts in the IMS services layer, who have been involved in many customer projects for the implementation of fixed mobile converged IMS network and service - Covers potential service and operator scenarios for the IMS architecture; it is significantly more than merely a description of the IMS standards

There is growing interest in Israel's political system from all parts of the world. This Handbook provides a unique comprehensive presentation of political life in Israel from the formative pre-state period to the present. The themes covered include: political heritage and the unresolved issues that have been left to fester; the institutional framework (the Knesset, government, judiciary, presidency, the state comptroller and commissions of inquiry); citizens' political participation (elections, political parties, civil society and the media); the four issues that have bedevilled Israeli democracy since its establishment (security, state and religion, the status of Israel's Arab citizens and economic inequities with concomitant social gaps); and the contours of the political culture and its impact on Israel's democracy. The authors skilfully integrate detailed basic data with an analysis of structures and processes, making the Handbook accessible to both experts and those with a general interest in Israel.
