A Smart Information Sharing Architecture in a Multi-Access Network, Multi-Service Environment

In a multi-network environment, users can receive services via several networks, protocols, and connected devices. These services are usually bound to their specific technology and often limited to a dedicated service provider domain. We are developing a platform overcoming these limitations by enabling information sharing beyond the boundaries of network technologies and services. In this paper, we propose a service architecture for the interaction of users/personas and services in a converged Internet and Telecom service space on top of multiple access networks. This is achieved by convergence of multiple separated communication channels on service layer in an IP Multimedia Subsystem based Telecom environment. We design a service platform enabling and controlling information flow across networks and services.
