Study on architecture impacts of Service Brokering
The objective is to study if there is enhancement needed to the current service interaction management architecture (e.g. SCIM as part of AS and Service Broker as part of OSA SCS) in order to satisfy requirements in TS 22.228 [1].
This technical report contains the results of a study on service interaction management architecture with focus on the following aspects:
- considering through scenarios, if the current service interaction management architecture sufficiently manages interactions between application servers, within the Home Network or on third party servers, and
- determine, through a functional element architecture study, whether there is a need for enhancement of the architecture, as well as any required extensions to the current IMS protocols and procedures.
In addition, alternative mechanisms to improve preventing interacting services may be identified.
