Intelligent network evolution for the support of mobility applications: the CTM scenario

EURESCOM Project P507 "Mobility Applications Integration in IN" has been studying the support of mobile services on a future IN architecture by considering the cordless terminal mobility (CTM) service as a basis for the short term scenario and the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) concept as the target scenario. It has approached its remit by firstly investigating CTM internetworking between public IN networks as well as public and private networks and then by defining evolutionary paths and scenarios, from several starting points, including CTM, towards UMTS.
