B.3.1/H.245v8 - Error in the description of the encryptionSync field
by Frank Derks 27 Apr '01

27 Apr '01

B.3.1/H.245 describes the use of fields in the openLogicalChannel message. The text about the encryptionSync field looks like a literal copy of the corresponding text for the OpenLogicalChannelAck message. This would not seem to be correct, because it talks about the acknowledgement of the opening of a channel by the slave. Shouldn't the text read: "The encryptionSync field is (shall?) used by the master to provide the ebcryption key value and the synchronization point at which the key should be used. ....."

silenceSuppression in h2250LogicalChannelParameters
by Frank Derks 25 Apr '01

25 Apr '01

Can any one explain what the meaning of the silenceSuppression element in h2250LogicalChannelParameters is? If set to TRUE, does this indicate that silence suppression is supported on the channel, but that this is actually dependent on the support of this functionality by the codec? So why duplicate the information?

potential change to SCTP
by Glen Freundlich 25 Apr '01

25 Apr '01

Dear Colleagues, There are apparently are some problems with the checksum mechanism defined in SCTP. If a new mechanism is deemed necessary, a new RFC could be issued and it would likely not be backward compatible with RFC 2960. This may effect any work in SG16 that references SCTP. Discussions of SCTP are taking place over either the sigtran mailing list or the tsv mailing list. Check the IETF site to find contact info on these working groups. Regards, Glen

Re: H.MMS.3: Presence and IM for H.323 Mobile systems.
by SAMOU Jean-claude FTRD/DAC/ISS 24 Apr '01

24 Apr '01

Hi, Folks: I fully support what Roy is saying here. I assume that H.MMS.3 as well as H.MMS.2 will be based on H.MMS.1 protocol extensions. My understanding is that this 'new' H.MMS.1 protocol should be designed in a way that it is applicable not only to H.323 but to other applications protocols (e.g., H.234, H.310) as well. This will give more flexibility since it will not be specific to a particular application (i.e. no need of having a specific mobility management protocol for H.323, another one for H.324, etc.). Therefore, this 'new' protocol should be made independent as much as possible of others and not be called as H.225.0 annex G or its extension. Please also see an earlier message sent by François Bougant which gives more clarification on these issues. I appreciate this good start of Q5/16 work.

Hi, Manoj: I am providing a very quick comment. It is a good proposal and you are assuming that H.MMS.1 will be the base protocol to be used.

Re: H.MMS.3: Presence and IM for H.323 Mobile systems.

Hi Chern, According to my understanding, when you say "Context Transfer", it refers to some protocol having procedures and methods to trasfer the "Context". And in IM and Presence, this context is the relevant IM and Presence information. Is that understanding correct? If yes, then the H.MMS.3 will define the methods and procedures in H.323 protocol to enable H.323 to act as a "Context Transfer" protocol.(Like SIP defines new methods SUBSCRIBE etc. to act as transport protocol for IM and Presence). I think the concept of IM and Presence shall be derived from IETF IMPP, but work needs to be done to define their mapping in context of H.323 signalling. Could you elaborate when you said "Hopefully some meaningful protocol name would be link to it.Example (M.RCTP - Robust Context Transfer Protocol)". thanks Manoj. -----Original Message----- From: cny [mailto:cny@DCS.SHEF.AC.UK] Sent: Saturday, April 21, 2001 12:58 PM To: ITU-SG16(a)mailbag.cps.INTEL.COM Subject: Re: H.MMS.3: Presence and IM for H.323 Mobile systems. Hi all, May I know how much this thing will link to IETF BXXP (Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol), and IETF IMPP (Instant Messaging and Presence Protocol) ????? As for the new protocol mentioned below, I suppose what is normally involved is known as Context Transfer, Hopefully some meaningful protocol name would be link to it.

Architectures for Multimedia Gateways
by Sayre, Clifford L, III (Clifford) 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

Dear SG 16 Experts, At the Launceston meeting two contributions, AVD-2057 & AVD-2056, were presented proposing enhancements to support interworking for H.324 Annex C terminals and multimedia gateways. AVD-2057 describes several H.248 packages that can be used in a decomposed gateway with an MGC and MG to support this type of multimedia interworking. The delegates in Launceston requested additional information on the background behind these packages; consequently, we have prepared the attached white paper. The white paper describes some of the issues behind supporting multimedia interworking gateways for H.324 & H.323 and thus the rationale for the work behind AVD-2057. <<WhitePaperMultimediaGateways.zip>> Comments are welcome. The co-authors of the white paper are listed on the footer of the paper. Regards, Cliff Sayre Clifford Sayre Lucent Technologies Phone (732) 332-6060 clsayre(a)lucent.com
