Roch Glitho, Rachida Dssouli, Dhafer Ben Khedher · 2007
Conferencing is an important category of applications that includes very popular applications such as audio/video conferencing, distance learning and multiparty games. It comprises two main components: signaling and media handling. Conferencing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) remains an uphill task due to the special characteristics of these networks. This paper focuses on the media handling aspects of conferencing. It proposes a novel architecture for controlling media mixers. The architecture is based on Megaco, an approach for controlling media mixers in traditional networks. We present it in terms of functional entities, primitives and procedures. Simulation results are also included.
