A Mobile Service Middleware Supported 4G Adaptive Multimedia Applications

This paper describes a mobile service middleware (the 4G middleware) , it is used for faster and more efficient development and runtime support of adaptive multimedia services in upcoming 4G environments. An open and standard OSGi technology based the 4G middleware provides an interoperable infrastructure for efficiently building, provisioning, and managing mobile multimedia services. For next generation heterogeneous networks, adaptability will become a main feature of next generation multimedia services
