Softswitch-based Communication for Personal Monitoring and Control
Liao Bi-cheng · ZTE communications · 2006
The convergence of networks and enhancement in terminal intelligence have provided conditions for the realization of personal monitoring communications. With M2M technology, Softswitch-based networks can provide an ideal platform to realize personal monitoring communications. Based on the network architecture and implementation principles of Softswitch, a personal monitoring communication system can be divided into the network side, which includes the Softswitch and field service center at the core control layer and service layer, and the user side which includes the monitoring device, field device, gateway and field console at the access layer and field device layer. Through a Softswitch-based personal monitoring communications system, we can realize many man-to-machine communication services such as home automation, public services, resources arrangement, security monitoring,and community services. With the continuous enhancement in machine intelligence and network convergence, personal monitoring systems will improve and develop constantly and may be expected to become one of the mainstream services in future communications.
