摘要:
A Digital Subscriber Line nullDSLnull access network consisting of a home network (HN) at a user premises, an access network (AN) comprising a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer nullDSLAMnull, an aggregation network (GN) consisting of aggregation switches (AS), and a content network (CN). The content network comprises a Broadband Remote Access Server nullBRASnull and local servers (LS) providing connectivity to the Internet for a user (S) in the home network, a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Server nullRADIUSnull connected to the BRAS for authentication, authorization and accounting of the user, and a digital broadcast network (DN) adapted to broadcast audio and video content to the user. The aggregation network is adapted to couple the BRAS and the digital broadcast network to the DSLAM of the access network. The access network is adapted to couple the DSLAM to a Set Top Box nullSTBnull of the home network. The DSLAM is further coupled to the RADIUS server for authentication, authorization and accounting of multicast services to the user (S) that is a multicast subscriber. The RADIUS AAA server is thus involved in the authentication, authorization and accounting for both high speed Internet access as well as for broadcast services. Multicast information is exchanged between the DSLAM and the RADIUS server by means of RADIUS attributes for multicast. Two new type of attributes are defined: RADIUS authentication attributes for multicast and RADIUS accounting attributes for multicast.

A method for routing voice data includes establishing a first path between a remote originating node and a gateway using a first channel of a circuit-switched network. The gateway is communicatively coupled to the circuit-switched network and a packet-switched network. A second path is established between an answering node and the gateway using a second channel of the circuit-switched network, if the answering node is remote relative to the packet-switched network. Otherwise the second path is established using the packet-switched network, if the answering node is local to the packet-switched network. The gateway converts any first circuit-switched voice data received on a first channel to packet-switched voice data. Any packet designating an associated remote node is converted to second circuit-switched voice data. The second circuit-switched voice data is communicated to its associated remote node on the second channel.

A method for processing data through a system for accessing and transmitting different data frames in a digital transmission network includes the following steps: the virtual interface device classifying the data frames, and the virtual interface device outputting the data frames to corresponding device interfaces. The system includes a user-network interface (UNI), which is used to connect to a user's network, a network-network interface (NNI), which is used to connect to said digital transmission network to transfer data, a mapping/demapping device, a virtual interface device, which couples with the UNI and couples with the NNI via the mapping/demapping device, and a control device, which couples with the virtual interface device to control it to access and transmit the data frames.

In one embodiment, a service node will recognize an attempt to initiate a call from a first terminal to a second terminal, and automatically provide information to media clients associated with the first and second terminals such that a media session can be readily established between the media clients in association with the call. The service node may be configured to interact with telephony switches that support the first or second terminals, directly or indirectly via a signaling adaptor. In a second embodiment, the service node will recognize an attempt to initiate a call and will route the call to a gateway, which is controllable by the service node. Once the call is sent to the gateway, the service node may provide instructions to the gateway for routing or otherwise processing the call.

A method and apparatus for performing voice message control is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises recognizing at least one recipient and a subject matter of one or more audio files stored in a storage facility, generating a text message representing the subject matter of the one or more audio files, and transmitting the text message to the at least one identified recipient over a packet data network channel without transmitting the contents of the one or more audio files.

A method and apparatus for providing broadband conferencing services is provided. The method includes the steps of establishing a voice channel over a circuit switched telephone network and a virtual data channel over a packet data network between at least two parties. The apparatus includes a telephone line and a digital data line sharing a single subscriber loop in addition to means for establishing a virtual data channel over a packet data network. Further, an advanced intelligent network telephone network having a first database of customer premise equipment and a second database having data addresses associated with the customer premise equipment is disclosed.
摘要:
A computer network controlled/monitored automation system for a residence (such as a home, a business, an office, etc.) in which a residential server controls and monitors security and other computer controllable systems within the residence. To provide maximum security, the residential server is configured to deny any inbound connections. The residential server initiates a secure connection to a central system controller's server so that the residential server can receive commands and other communications from the central system controller's server, some of which may have been communicated to the central system controller's server by an authorized remote user/occupant of the residence over the Internet.

The present invention is an Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN) based system and method that allows a subscriber connected to the Internet via a dial-up connection to receive caller identification information concerning an incoming telephone call. The information may be provided via a pop-up dialog box on the subscriber's display, which includes but is not limited to a monitor of a personal computer (PC). The information displayed to the subscriber includes the name and number of the calling party, if available. In addition, several disposition options are presented to the subscriber solely via the Internet which, upon selection, determine the handling of the incoming call.

A wireless local area network system capable of supporting host mobility services and an operation method therefor are disclosed. The wireless local area network system includes a gateway performing the functions of a home agent in mobile wireless communication environments and sending prefix information; and access points, each access point allocating an Internet Protocol (IP) address to a mobile host within a range thereof by using prefix information of the gateway. Thereafter, each access point produces and sends a Binding Update list that corresponds to the mobile hosts to the gateway. Thus, the present invention supports the mobility for mobile hosts with or without a mobile IPv6 stack, in a wireless local area network.
摘要:
A method of performing a bearer path assurance test across a packet-based IP network is provided. The method includes establishing a bearer path across the IP network and performing a bearer path assurance test during call setup before cutting through the call. The method can also include creating a timestamp at the originating office, sending the timestamp from the originating office to a terminating office, sending the timestamp from the terminating office to the originating office, receiving the timestamp at the originating office, and verifying the continuity of the bearer path. The method can also include evaluating round trip delay and packet loss using one or more timestamps.
