SIP-Based Streaming Control Architecture for Mobile Personal Area Networks

This paper addresses seamless streaming control architecture among networked media devices at home network based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). We assume the mobile phone acts as a control point of the virtual device, and call the network a mobile Personal Area Network (mPAN). The architecture is based on combining REFER method and 3PCC mechanisms of SIP. From the experimental results, the additional Handover supported SIP UA dramatically reduced retrieval time compared with non-supported one. The indirect approach with B2BUA cut down transfer time when renegotiation between parties was unnecessary.
