Abstract: The so-called M2M solutions for the remote management of a machine or a process by users of a telecommunication network are addressed using an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem platform by equipping both authorized users and a machine to be controlled with IMS clients supporting presence and messaging services as minimum requirements. The client of an authorized user sees the client of the machine as a buddy of its contact list, and interaction between the users and the machine takes place by publishing presence information by the apparatus and via instant messaging between the users and the apparatus.

Abstract: A PTW (Push To Watch) server inside an IMS platform implements a SIP-based protocol to deliver real time media streaming contents inside a PLMN coverage area. The PTW server adopts alternative use and definition of the SIP MESSAGE request and a new mimic for the interaction scheme. Three different labels, respectively named: refer, ok, and bye are introduced in the header field “subject” of SIP MESSAGE to notify type and destination of the body content Three corresponding SIP MESSAGE(refer), SIP MESSAGE(ok), and SIP MESSAGE(bye) are used in the involved procedures. In “Session establishment procedure” the PTW server receives the INVITE request message from the inviter user and sends in correspondence as many SIP INVITE request messages as the number of the invited users each containing a list including the Public user identity of each user already in the session except the inviting.
