SIP meets ZigBee

In the paper presented we put together the framework of SIP, which is the protocol of choice for Next Generation Networks (NGN) and has been gradually expanded to support context-based multimedia communication, and ZigBee, an evolving standard for data dissemination and distributed control in sensor and actuator networks supporting automation and monitoring applications. Our main contribution is the proposed SIP-ZigBee interworking architecture and the mapping between the ZigBee binding mechanisms and publish/subscribe/notify mechanisms of SIP presence framework.
