Wireless terminal management architectures

The advent of multi-technology networks offering ubiquitous services over an advanced wireless network infrastructure demands an integrated management approach. We address an integrated management approach for wireless and mobile infrastructures by analysing the particularities of this environment and proposing a management architecture based on application based overlay networks. Our approach proposes the integration of a management agent within a service gateway as well as an additional notification support based either on a peer to peer infrastructure or on the session initiation protocol.
