Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a mobile broadband routable internet (MBRI) providing for carrier-grade, networked, broadband, IP-routable communication among a plurality of mobile devices, where the mobile devices may represent a plurality of nodes that are linked together through a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). Mobile devices may operate as peers in a peer-to-peer network, with full IP routing capabilities enabled within each mobile device, thereby allowing routing of IP-based traffic, including deployment of applications, to the mobile device without need for infrastructure conventionally required for mobile ad hoc networks, such as cellular telephony infrastructure. Full IP-routing to mobile devices may allow seamless integration to the fixed Internet, such as through fixed or mobile access points, such as for backhaul purposes.

Abstract: Enhancements are disclosed for wireless ad hoc networking tailored for set top box communications. Video selected with a set top box may be transmitted over a wireless network. Backchannel communication from a set top box may be communicated over a wireless network.

Abstract: Wireless ad hoc networking enhancements are disclosed to enable deployment of networks with greater coverage. Analysis is provided which examines the environment and structures in which the wireless network operates and identifies location to place additional access points. Spanning network coverage may be computed along with the identification of coverage holes and hot spots for areas of busy communications.

Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for a mobile, broadband, routable internet that may facilitate use of mobile applications in which a plurality of mobile devices interact as nodes in a mobile ad hoc network and in which packets are IP routable to the individual device independent of fixed infrastructure elements. Certain mobile applications may be enabled on the mobile broadband routable internet by one or more enablers associated with the mobile broadband routable internet.

Abstract: By selecting access points specific to the various components of call-content of a call, a monitoring agency is ensured of obtaining the call-content of each participant in telephone call irrespective of call transfers and network reconfiguration. Devices in the telecommunications system such as network devices can provide appropriate access. Examples of suitable network devices may include gateway, an access gateways, trunk gateways, portals, ATM switches, routers, and border elements.
