Abstract
An important step towards intelligent mobile Internet services is the user’s ability to customise her/his service portfolio. It is achieved by negotiating mobile equipment’s application level capabilities, application level mobile network’s capabilities and user-defined settings to a mobile service environment. A negotiation framework is responsible for managing a negotiation event that determines the service environment. There are currently four rival negotiation frameworks that are likely to become a part of the 3GPP’s (3rd Generation Partnership Project) standard. The research problem of this paper is to determine and propose common denominators for a uniform negotiation framework for the mobile service environment. The research is based on the constructive method utilised by analysing the related publications and technologies and the results are derived by the abstractive analysis of the available material. The paper suggests a solution for the general addressing scheme, attribute syntax, metadata document structure and utilisation of application level transport protocols.
