Abstract

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system for real-time communication signaling protocol for use in a telecommunication network and communication in web-only Internet. The protocol facilitates adapting complex signaling on the server-side into simple operations towards the Web. In an embodiment the protocol is used to communicate between a server-side web signaling engine and a client-side communication controller. The client-side communication controller provides a JavaScript API to encapsulate the signaling layer. The web signaling engine includes a controller which terminates communications using the protocol, and normalizes communications into an internal protocol suitable for communication with telecommunications network systems. In an embodiment, the protocol utilizes JSON and a WebSocket connection and can be defined as a WebSocket subprotocol.
