IMTC 3G-324M Activity Group to Provide Feedback to ITU-T through Liaison to Correct and Amend H.324 Annex C Specification.SAN RAMON San Ramon (Spanish for "Saint Raymond") may refer to one of the following places:
"The IMTC 3G-324M Activity Group recently discovered that the H.324M standard can be misinterpreted as limiting the number of allowable octets to 256 that a CCSRL-SDU can be comprised of. In actuality, the H.324 specification allows up to a maximum of 2048 octets per H.245 frame," explained Sebastian Purreiter, 3G-324M Activity Group Co-Chair. "CCSRL is a mechanism defined by ITU-T See ITU. ITU-T - International Telecommunications Union recommendation H.324 Annex C for segmentation and reassembly segmentation and reassembly - segmentation of large H.245 control frames. Supporting CCSRL is mandatory for 3G-324M equipment vendors as part of the standards effort to ensure reliability of H.245 messages exchange. H.245 frames are mapped into CCSRL-SDUs which then are split into CCSRL-PDUs allowing better transmission reliability over error-prone mobile networks." To further its investigation, the IMTC 3G-324M Activity Group announced free-testing services offered by two of its member-companies, RADVISION and Dilithium Networks, to verify the outstanding CCSRL interoperability issue. Albert Wong, 3G-324M Activity Group Co-Chair, further elaborated, "Our Activity Group is pleased to have two member-companies to offer the test service, which allows widespread investigation of the CCSRL-SDU size issue in a timely manner. I encourage the entire 3G-324M community to participate in this test service offer to help conclude the CCSRL-SDU size interoperability ambiguity." The remote test facilities will permit all 3G-324M video telephony See videophone. handset vendors, equipment manufacturers and implementers to check their terminals for compliance and status. The IMTC 3G-324M Activity Group also announced that it has published its testing guidelines for video telephony terminals based on the 3G-324M standard, and is actively seeking feedback from equipment and terminal vendors to identify any interoperability issues they have encountered that might be the result of the misinterpretation of the standard. The remote testing services will be maintained for a period of one month, concluding at the end of July 2005. Upon completion, the IMTC 3G-324M Activity Group will compile its findings and provide feedback to the ITU-T through a liaison statement allowing the ITU-T to correct and amend the H.324 Annex C specification. All those interested in participating in this test need to register to access the remote test facility, and should contact the participating companies: Dilithium Networks: www.dilithiumnetworks.com RADVISION: www.radvision.com About the 3G-324M Activity Group The 3G-324M Activity Group is focused on conducting interoperability tests for real-time video-telephony based on the standards H.324, 3G-324M (TS. 26.111, TS 26.110, TR 26.911). The 3G-324M Activity Group is also focused on interoperability testing of 3G-324M terminals, including verifying standard interoperability of H.324, H.324M and 3G-324M products, coordinating face-to-face and virtual interoperability test programs, providing feedback for improvements to national and international standardization bodies (e.g., ITU-T or 3GPP GPP Government Performance Project GPP General Purpose Processor GPP General Physical Preparedness GPP Gambian People's Party GPP Good Pharmacy Practice GPP Gross Primary Productivity GPP Green Procurement Program GPP Generic Packetized Protocol ) and keeping members updated on latest developments through weekly conference calls, virtual interop events and Face2Face events.
