1 Applications and Networks, Oh My. Bringing UC & IP Communications to Android A Case Study Doug Makishima, COO D2 Technologies

2 D2 Tech: VoIP & IP Communications Leadership Embedded Software for CPE and Mobile Terminals

3 Communications Revolution Communications is increasingly Multi service & Multi modal Business users & consumers rely on various communication services Communications moving from the desktop to mobile devices 3

4 How do we Communicate? Social Networking Business Networking IM/UC IP Carrier Trad. Carrier (PSTN/Cell) IP Communications Traditional VoIP/VoIM Text IM Video Call/Share Presence / Status Microblogging Voice SMS Text Mobile Broadband Fixed Access 3G HSPA/EVDO 4G WiMAX/LTE WiFi Cellular PSTN DSL xpon Cable Mobile/Portable Seamless FMC Handover Fixed Smartphone MID / PMP Netbook / Laptop Desk Media Media Phones Phone Phone PC HMP / HCH PC STB 4

5 Consumer/3 rd Party Unification & Integration Multi Service Interop Enterprise/Carrier Multi-Protocol IP Communications CARRIER Interop with many IP Communications services Bridging sessions (calls/ims) between different services Flexible protocol support IPPBX/UC systems IP service providers IM/Social Networking communities 5

6 General Mobile App Issues Physical hardware differences Display size Input methods Radio/network types Rapidly evolving OS versions e.g. Android 1.0, 1.1, 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.1 all in 18 months! Customization and extensions New features &applications Device OEM and Carrier requirements Lack of native VoIP / IP Communications support

10 Android Today: No IP Communications! 10

11 OESF IP Communications Working Group Enhancements IP Communications Applications and UI IP Communications Framework Specs (Content Provider, App interface, JNI) IP Services Interface (API & Abstraction) Protocol Stacks Media Engine API Media Engine (VoIP/Video)

12 Example Implementation D2 Technologies mcue Complete Android framework and Linux kernel integration mcue UI Layer Communications user interface Multiple modes VoIP and Cellular IM / SMS Presence / Status Video (roadmap) vport Protocol Stack ISI: IP Communications API mps: Multi Protocol Suite SIP (IETF & IMS) & SIMPLE XMPP / Gtalk Yahoo, MSN, Facebook, etc. FMC: VCC and IP-to-IP handover vport Media Engine (vtsp) CODECS (VoIP and V2oIP) Echo cancellation Packet Loss compensation (PLC) Jitter buffer (JB) Packet processing (RTP, SRTP, RTCP) = D2 s IP Communications Extensions 12

13 Case Study: D2 s mcue UC/IP Comms Client on Android Converged Contact List Integrated address book Multiple services / contact Presence for each service Push-to-x communications Push-to-X Communications Txt Message: IM Chat or SMS Call: VoIP or Cell Call Video: Call/chat Dialer mcue or Android as primary dialer Complete integration w/ Android telephony stack Android apps can access mcue resources

14 Conclusion Communications modes and services IP Communications enables UC, Social Networking, collaboration Carrier vs OTT? Business model vs. customers requirements issue Mobility is about users NOT devices Need for standardization Android: OESF for new applications
