Patent number: 8588073Abstract: A voice queue includes a primary queue and a secondary queue. The secondary queue is operable to store voice packets and generate timestamps for the voice packets. The primary queue is operable to receive the voice packets from the secondary queue, store the timestamps for the voice packets, and store sequence numbers for the voice packets.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2012Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Henry Li, David M. Enns, Jordan J. Nicol, Kenny C. Kwan, Ross Mitchell, Wilf LeBlanc, Ken Unger, John Payton, Shawn Stevenson, Bill Boora, Onur Tackin

Patent number: 8537806Abstract: Methods and systems for an Ethernet IP phone chip are provided. In this regard, data may be received via a first port of an Ethernet switch in the Ethernet IP phone chip, and the port(s) via which the data is forwarded may be determined based on characteristics of the data. The Ethernet switch may receive data from a network via a first port, and communicate the received data to one or more on-chip interfaces via a second port. The on-chip interfaces may process the received data and may communicate video contained in the data to an off-chip video processing device. The Ethernet IP phone chip may receive video data from an off-chip video processing device via one or more on-chip interfaces, packetize the video data into one or more Ethernet packets; and communicate the packet(s) onto a network link via the Ethernet switch.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2010Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Paul Shore, Balwinder (Bill) Boora, Henry Li

Patent number: 8515054Abstract: A signal processing system which discriminates between voice signals and data signals modulated by a voiceband carrier. The signal processing system includes a voice exchange, a data exchange and a call discriminator. The voice exchange is capable of exchanging voice signals between a switched circuit network and a packet based network. The signal processing system also includes a data exchange capable of exchanging data signals modulated by a voiceband carrier on the switched circuit network with unmodulated data signal packets on the packet based network. The data exchange is performed by demodulating data signals from the switched circuit network for transmission on the packet based network, and modulating data signal packets from the packet based network for transmission on the switched circuit network. The call discriminator is used to selectively enable the voice exchange and data exchange.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2010Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Wilf LeBlanc, Shawn Stevenson, Bill Boora
