Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for transmitting media resources. The method includes: obtaining related information of media resources on a media server (101); sending an instruction message including the related information of the media resources to a telephony server, wherein the instruction message instructs the telephony server to perform session negotiation with a communication peer according to the related information of the media resources to establish a first multimedia session (102); obtaining information of a communication interface used by the telephony server to receive the media resources (103); sending an instruction message according to the information of the communication interface, wherein the instruction message instructs the media server to send the media resources to the telephony server, so that the telephony server transmits the media resources to the communication peer through the first multimedia session (104). The present invention is applicable to media resource transmission in a multimedia session.
Abstract:
A cable modem integrated session border controller operates as a point of demarcation between a local area network (LAN) and a DOCSIS network and, in response to receiving a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message, which includes Session Description Protocol (SDP), from a VoIP device coupled to the LAN, communicates with a Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) to take advantage of DOCSIS Dynamic Quality of Service (DQoS). If required service flow attributes, as determined from the SDP of the SIP message, matches service flow attributes of an existing UGS service flow with a CMTS, a DOCSIS Dynamic Service Change (DSC) request is used to add an additional sub flow to the existing UGS service flow. If attributes fail to match attributes of all existing UGS service flows, a DOCSIS Dynamic Service Change (DSC) request is used to initiate an additional UGS service flow with the required service flow attributes.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to provide extended voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) services are disclosed. An example residential gateway comprises a radio frequency (RF) detector to detect a presence of a cellular communication device, a service controller to enable a VoIP communication device when the cellular communication device is present, wherein the VoIP communication device and the cellular communication device are different devices.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and communication network system that allows an endpoint to be simultaneously registered with more than one communications server is described. In one embodiment, the communication network system includes a network, a plurality of communications servers that are coupled to the network, and a plurality of endpoints coupled to the network. Each endpoint is capable of being simultaneously registered with more than one communications server. A communication method for an endpoint involves registering a first logical line of the endpoint with a first communications server, and registering a second logical line of the endpoint with a second communications server. Consequently, flexibility is obtained by allowing an endpoint to choose the registering communications server for each logical line of the endpoint.
Abstract:
A local network gateway may exchange signaling data for a voice communication session with an external network. The gateway may also exchange internal signaling information relating to that voice communication session across logical ports within the local network gateway using a local signaling protocol. A voice communication session can be established between the local gateway and an external network and bridged to local communication sessions between the local gateway and end points.
Abstract:
Providing non-voice capabilities relating to a phone call at a computing device includes receiving a request to begin a telephone call from a first telephone to a second telephone, wherein the requesting is performed using messaging between computing devices connected via a computer network, and wherein the messaging is part of a signaling phase dialog. The signaling phase dialog may be used in providing information associated with the identity of parties of the telephone call. Commencing a call phase dialog between the computing devices may be performed after the telephone call is established over the public switched telephone network. The call phase dialog may allow messages relating to the telephone call to be passed between the computing devices, at least while the telephone call is in progress. The dialogs and messaging may be performed using session initiation protocol (SIP) or another computer communication protocol.
Abstract:
Certain exemplary embodiments can comprise a method of use comprising: for a call between a local IP network and a remote non-IP network, converting between IP packets and PCM robbed bit signaling via a VoIP channelized router; providing the PCM robbed bit signaling to a TDM switch via the VoIP channelized router; and/or converting between IP packets and GR303 call reference values via the VoIP channelized router.
Abstract:
A system for verifying VoIP call routing information. The system may include an apparatus integrated with a private branch exchange (PBX). The apparatus may store at least one call attribute of a public switched telephone network (PSTN) call initiated to a destination telephone number. The apparatus may verify a destination Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) call agent for the destination telephone number based on demonstrated knowledge of the PSTN call. The apparatus may route a new call either over a VoIP network to the destination VoIP call agent or over a circuit switched network based on whether the destination VoIP call agent is verified for the destination telephone number.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, an apparatus may receive at least one call attribute of a public switched telephone network (PSTN) call initiated to a destination telephone number. The apparatus may verify a destination Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) call agent for the destination telephone number based on demonstrated knowledge of the PSTN call. The apparatus may transmit an indication the destination VoIP call agent is verified for the destination telephone number.
Abstract:
A technique for managing an automatically established roaming agreement between two IMS networks (102, 104) is described, wherein one IMS network (102) supports multiple proxy nodes (302, 106) at the network edge towards the other IMS network (104). A method embodiment of the technique is performed in an I-CSCF (302) of the first IMS network (102) and comprises the steps of receiving (316) a registration request of an UE (306) via a second IMS network (104); sending (324) a roaming information request indicating the second IMS network (104) to a HSS (110) associated with the first IMS network (102); receiving (326) from the HSS (110) a roaming information answer indicating information related to the roaming agreement, and forwarding (328), based on the roaming information answer, the registration request to a second I-CSCF (106) of the first IMS network (102) managing the roaming agreement.
