Interactive and Personalized Services for an Open IMS-Based IPTV Infrastructure

In this paper a proof of concept infrastructure for the delivery of IMS-based IPTV services driven by the IPTV enabled FOKUS open IMS infrastructure was presented. As the different standard development organizations (SDOs) will release frameworks for standardized IPTV by the end of this year the FOKUS Media Interoperability Lab (MIL) represents one of the world´s first real world test beds for these kind of services. This has been achieved by actively guiding the different SDOs work with a focus on ETSI TISPAN. On top of this framework different personalized and interactive services have been implemented to show the predominance and advantages of IMS-based IPTV solutions compared to other mainly black box approaches.
