  • Patent number: 8787196
    Abstract: The present invention is a technique for provisioning and assessment of voice quality in Internet Protocol (IP) voice applications. A predetermined quality of service (QoS) is received from a user in the form of an acceptable packet loss. The technique measures current packet loss and delay in the network and in the terminal, and determines and optimum play-out delay for the use by a play-out adaptation routine. An actual QoS is reported back to the user. To enhance packet delay and loss measurement, a QoS engine component is placed on the terminal side of the packetizer, therefore including packetizer losses in any measurement of the network.

  • Patent number: 8160180
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of high speed multi-dimensional signaling via a modem has a processing method of utilizing prolate pulses to optimize the transmission capacity of the channel. The modem includes a process that segments the channel bandwidth and allocates the power and bit loading in relation to a measure of the noise in each spectral bin. Data are carried over a plurality of frequencies across the channel, and within each spectral bin, a plurality of orthogonal signaling dimensions.
