Abstract
In the converging fields of intelligent networks, telecommunications management networks and distributed systems, the ODP trader concept is a candidate to implement a service management for the variety of new fixed network services. The increased demand for nomadic, wireless and mobile access to communication services forces the merging of different communication worlds like Public Land Mobile Networks, Packet Mobile Radio and Wireless LANs with wired telecommunication and data communication networks. A key issue is the introduction of mobile data and multimedia services and the development of suitable network and protocol architectures. Thus, mobility and service management cannot be separated and therefore mobility will also be an important issue in distributed systems. This paper investigates ODP trading concepts to develop an integrated service and mobility management in heterogenous nomadic and mobile communication environments. The trader is used to store the user’s service profiles and location information. To achieve flexible trader query processing, the control logic is introduced by an additional functional entity. This Service and Mobility Agent is then in charge of all service and mobility aspects on behalf of the mobile or nomadic subscriber.
