Abstract: A CCE+ number allocation method reduces the ACK/NACK (Acknowledgment/Negative Acknowledgment) collision probability in a mixed system containing an LTE (Long Term Evolution) system and an LTE+ (Long Term Evolution Advanced) system. A CCE (Control Channel Element)+ number is defined by selecting a number from CCE numbers of the CCE to contain PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) allocated in a resource element region constituting CCE+ where PDCCH+ is arranged. This can prevent overlapped selection of the CCE number and the CCE+ number even when the PDCCH and the PDCCH+ are simultaneously transmitted, thus making it possible to reduce the collision probability of ACK/NACK correlated to the CCE number and the CCE+ number.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing Voice over IP (VoIP) in a communication system with a number of terminals operating with VoIP, between which a transmission of voice data according to VoIP or a signalling is achieved, wherein the signalling is achieved using the Computer Supported Telecommunication Application (CSTA) interface standard. Telephone services can be controlled by a computer using the CSTA protocol. As for conventional application, H323 protocol and SIP are used for IP telephony processing of audio/video streams of a conversation. The invention is based on replacing H323 protocol and SIP by a CSTA protocol only when the latter is correspondingly extended.

Abstract: Systems and methods can provide for Edge-QAM and M-CMTS timing lock. In some implementations, an Edge-QAM can provide for timing lock with an M-CMTS core by observing DOCSIS-SYNC MAC messages. In other implementations, an Edge-QAM can provide for timing lock with an M-CMTS core by observing per-modem ranging MAC messages. In other implementations, an EQAM can provide for timing lock with an M-CMTS core by performing timing lock check and adjustment. Using existing protocol messages defined in the M-CMTS architecture, the EQAM can intercept, snoop, and extract timing values from the M-CMTS core thereby reducing or even eliminating the need for a DTI server.

The network tracing engine preferably queries/telnets to interfaces of routers associated with one or more source-to-destination paths in a network concurrently and independently to ensure proper configuration of the routers and/or to generate a true depiction of a routing configuration without redundantly querying routers.

Abstract: A peer-aware voice stream ranking method that makes decisions based on information about participants of a voice conference over a network. Whether to send a participant's own audio packet out on the network is based both on information about the participant's own voice packet and voice packets that the participant receives from other clients. A Voice Activity Score (VAS) is computed for each frame of a particular voice stream. The VAS includes a voiceness component, indicating the likelihood that the audio frame contains speech or voice, and an energy level component that indicating the ratio of current frame energy to the long-term average of energy for a current speaker. Using the VAS from the participants, the method also ranks the client's voice stream as compared to other clients' voice streams in the voice conference. If there are participants higher ranking, the client's voice stream is not sent.

Abstract: A system is described for processing voice applications comprising a client device (10) having associated data indicative of its computing capability. The system has access to a plurality of scripts specifying tasks to be performed in a voice-based dialog between a user and the system. The scripts are interpretable at a browser level. A server (20) selects an appropriate script for the client device (10) based on the associated data. An interpreter layer processes the selected script to determine a first set of instructions to be performed on the client device (10) and a second set of instructions to be performed on the server (20) for the dialog. Computation is thus shared between the client device and the server based on the computational capability of the client.
