Understand and deploy RTC protocols for any kind of communications system
Since the emergence of Voice over IP (VoIP) communications in the late 1990s, a set of real time communication (RTC) protocols has evolved that together now support an immense range of technologies and systems architectures. Whether it's 5G networks (and beyond) or Internet of Things architectures, RTC protocols are indispensable to modern telecommunications. An understanding of these protocols and their design and deployment is critical for engineers, academics, and industry professionals in virtually every connected field.
Hands-On Real Time Communications offers a thorough yet accessible introduction to this subject, incorporating both the theory and practical applications of RTC protocols. It offers detailed instructions for deploying RTC protocols on various types of network stacks, as well as the use of a huge range of speech, audio, and video codecs. Practice-oriented and designed for students as well as established professionals, it's a must-own for anyone looking to deploy and maintain essential communications architectures.
Readers will also find:
- A matching hands-on section for each theoretical aspect, incorporating license-free protocol analyzers and emulation tools
- Detailed discussion of topics including signaling, media packetization, real hardware-based network interfaces, and many more
- End-of-chapter questions and lab exercises to facilitate learning
Hands-On Real Time Communications is ideal for advanced undergraduate or graduate students in RTC communication and networking classes, as well as for engineers, technologists, and architects looking to learn and understand the principles of RTC networking.
