Abstract

In an effort to realize wireless Internet telephony and multimedia streaming in a highly mobile environment a testbed emulating a wireless Internet has been built. This allows the setting up of multimedia calls between IP mobiles and integration between IP and PSTN end-points in a wireless environment. Different functionalities and components involved with the wireless Internet streaming multimedia have been prototyped and experimented in the testbed. These include signaling, registration, dynamic binding, location management as well as supporting the QoS features for the mobile users. This paper describes some of the components of the testbed and highlights the experiences while building this testbed which could be beneficial to some who plan to build a similar testbed to realize several features and capabilities of Mobile Wireless Internet, before actually bringing to the market
