Abstract
In this paper, We have proposed a new distributed conference architecture which can reduce largely SIP(Session Initiation Protocol) messages exchanged between servers and participants in distributed conference environment by using resource lists which consist of conference participants URIs. This architecture can also reduce processing time and loads of conference servers. In our proposed method, the number of SIP messages required for participating in the conference can be largely reduced, and the number of SIP messages required for subscription of conference event package and maintaining sessions can also be largely reduced by using resource lists. Therefore expandibility of the conference system increases and network traffic can be reduced by using our conference architecture. And We also have proposed in this paper a new conference information data format with some added elements that are necessary for processing resource lists. Furthermore the procedure for dynamically adding conference servers to the conference environment has been suggested, and the exchanging process of SIP messages and conference information data between conference servers and conference participants has been also suggested. The performance of our proposed system has been evaluated by experiments.
