What this book covers

Chapter 1, Running WebRTC with and without SIP, is a quick brush-up of WebRTC basics such as Media APIs. It also describes the use of plain WebSocket signaling to deliver WebRTC-based browser-to-browser communication.

Chapter 2, Making a Standalone WebRTC Communication Client, talks about the use of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) as the signaling mechanism for WebRTC. It describes the setup of the SIP server for this purpose.

Chapter 3, WebRTC with SIP and IMS, outlines the interaction of a SIP-based WebRTC client with the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).

Chapter 4, WebRTC Integration with Intelligent Network, describes the ways in which WebRTC can be made interoperable with mobile phones, as the majority of mobile communications today are still on GSM under the IN model.

Chapter 5, WebRTC Integration with PSTN, describes the backward compatibility of the WebRTC technology to the old, fixed-line telephones.

Chapter 6, Basic Features of WebRTC over SIP, describes the basic WebRTC SIP services such as audio/video call, messaging, call transfer, call hold/resume, and others.

Chapter 7, WebRTC with Industry Standard Frameworks, discusses the development of the WebRTC client over the industry-adopted framework (that is, Model-View-Controller).

Chapter 8, WebRTC and Rich Communication Services, discusses how RCS enriches the communication technology with features such as file transfer, Presence, phonebook, and others.

Chapter 9, Native SIP Application and Interaction with WebRTC Clients, addresses a very important concern, that is, the WebRTC interoperability with other SIP endpoints such as desktop clients, SIP hardphones, and mobile-based SIP applications.

Chapter 10, Other WebRTC Use Cases, presents an interesting array of WebRTC use cases that are both innovative and practical with the current WebRTC standards.
