Abstract :
The author introduces a signaling protocol for user applications that invokes multimedia services provided by the EXPANSE research prototype, a broadband ISDN testbed. A generic framework that flexibly accommodates a wide variety of services involving multiple parties with heterogeneous terminals is described. The author describes the generic services supported, introduces the EXPANSE call model, discusses syntax and message flow procedures, and relates EXPANSE signaling to the ISDN signaling control part (ISCP) and long-term broadband ISDN signaling work currently under study by CCITT
