SIP/UPnP BRIDGING MIDDLEWARE ARCHITECTURE FOR A SERVICE GATEWAY FRAMEWORK

摘要

A bridging architecture is provided for a network gateway environment which provides service registration in accordance with a gateway framework, such as OSGi. The bridging architecture includes: a SIP service registered with the gateway framework and operable to import and export SIP capabilities into the network gateway environment; a UPnP service registered with the gateway framework and operable to import UPnP capabilities into the network gateway environment; and a SIP/UPnP bridging middleware registered with the gateway framework and with the SIP service as a SIP user agent. The bridging middleware provides a communication interface between SIP entities residing outside the network gateway environment and UPnP entities residing within the network gateway environment.
