Abstract

The work here presented introduces a next generation context-aware architecture for social networking multimedia distribution. It enhances the Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) and the Evolved MBMS (E-MBMS) systems by adding users’ situation knowledge on their assessments allowing Mobile Operators to offer personalized services delivered over optimized networks. Furthermore, it evolves IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) with specific functionalities to control the context information and to manage MBMS and E-MBMS bearers. The proposed framework was tested and the results are here presented. A clever content sharing in mobile communities can be the basis of the famous killer application that Mobile Operators are still looking for.
