SIP-based multimedia services provision in ad hoc networks

This paper provides an approach of how SIP-based multimedia services can be ported to ad hoc networks. This technique achieves two main results: first, it overcomes the lack of existing infrastructure, which is the major handicap for service provision in ad hoc networks. Second, it endows the network with a robust security mechanism to protect the privacy of the undertaken communications.
