  • Patent number: 7058037
    Abstract: Disclosed is an RF transmitting device of a mobile radio communication base station system in a CDMA system capable of digital-modulating baseband signals which are converted into band spread signals by using the same path which three frequency assignment frequency signals have for an RF in a multi-carrier mobile radio communication system supporting three frequency assignment, digital-coupling the modulated signals, and up-converting the digital-coupled signal into an IF signal and an RF signal in a sequential order, thereby transmitting the up-converted signal.

  • Publication number: 20060093130
    Abstract: A system for automating cross connections in an access network. The automated cross connect system comprises of a plurality of upstream line interface circuits adapted for connection to upstream communication links, and a plurality of downstream line interface circuits adapted for connection to downstream communication links. The upstream and downstream line interface circuits are interconnected by an automated cross connect switch that selectively couples particular upstream line interface circuits to particular downstream line interface circuits, in response to routing commands sent from a command center. Thus, the automated cross connect system selectively establishes a bi-directional communication path between the upstream line interface circuits and the downstream line interface circuits, thereby providing a communication path between a selected upstream communication link and downstream communication link.

  • Patent number: 7031275
    Abstract: A home agent assigns disjoint ranges of port numbers to mobile nodes that share a global IP address. In response to a registration request message from a mobile node, the home agent transmits to the mobile node its assigned range of port numbers, as an extension to a registration reply message. The home agent maintains data records for the mobile nodes that have registered with it, wherein a data record for a mobile node includes its global IP address, its assigned range of port numbers, and its current address. When the home agent receives data packets destined for one of these registered mobile nodes, as determined from the destination address and destination port number specified in the data packets, the home agent forwards the data packets to the current address listed in the mobile node's data record.

  • Patent number: 6977948
    Abstract: A system (100) for receiving data from an asynchronous network and transmitting such data onto a synchronous network includes a voice packet buffer memory system (108) with a jitter buffer (118) having groups of entries storing data for voice channels and jitter buffer valid bit (JBVB) memory (120) for status of a particular entry for multiple jitter buffer groups. Writing or reading data from a jitter buffer entry sets a corresponding JBVB memory bit to a valid or invalid state respectively. Jitter buffer data may be read with a corresponding state memory bit. If a corresponding JBVB memory bit is valid, data from a jitter buffer (118) may be provided as an output. If a corresponding JBVB memory bit is invalid, a loss recovery algorithm may compensate for such invalid jitter buffer data.

  • Patent number: 6973309
    Abstract: A method and system for re-direction and handoff for pre-paid mobile services in third generation (“3G”) networks. A handoff marker is created and used for wireless mobile nodes such as Mobile Internet Protocol (“Mobile IP”) nodes. The handoff markers allow the wireless mobile nodes to use pre-paid mobile services, have active communications sessions suspended and re-directed to a registration server when purchased pre-paid mobile services run-out. The registration server allows the wireless mobile node to electronically purchase additional pre-paid mobile services and immediately resume a suspended communications session. The handoff markers also allows network devices in a mobile network to determine between initiation of a new communications session or a hard handoff of an existing communication session, without adversely affecting pre-paid billing services.

  • Patent number: 6973024
    Abstract: A method for switching between a first network element and a second network element, the first and second network elements each connected to a first network and a second network. The method may be carried out by configuring the first network element and the second network element to recognize the same data from the second network. Next, data may be readdressed so that it may be recognized by both network elements. After readdressed data are sent to the first network element and the second network element, the first network element may be disconnected from the first network and the second network element may be connected to the first network. Data may be forwarded from the second network to the first network with little or no loss during the switchover.
