Publication number: 20160330252Abstract: A media path is established or reestablished between real time communication endpoints with one or more network interfaces (194) of different types connected to network access points (140) at different types of network segments (104, 106, 108) to implement handover of calls by collecting, by an RTC device (200), addresses (120) to a server (210) from access points (140) at the network segments (104, 106 and 108). Messages (164) are sent repeatedly by the RTC device (200) to an address (120) of the server (210) and, if not receiving a response, then other collected addresses (120) are tried until a response is received and signaling connectivity is recovered. After recovering signaling between the RTC device (200) and the server (210), a connection identity is presented to the server (210) for recovering the specific connection, after which a media path can be reestablished if needed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2016Publication date: November 10, 2016Applicant: IPALIVE ABInventors: Karl Erik STAHL, Martin GARTNER, Tibor BLOMHALL

Patent number: 8612236Abstract: In one aspect, a noise suppression process for a decoded signal comprising a first decoded signal portion and a second decoded signal portion is provided. A first energy envelope generating curve and a second energy envelope generating curve of the first signal portion and of the second decoded signal portion are determined. An identification number depending on a comparison of the first and second energy envelope generating curves is formed. An amplification factor which depends on the identification number is derived. Multiplying the second decoded signal portion by the amplification factor, reduces pre-echo and post-echo interference noises.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2006Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Martin Gartner, Stefan Schandl

Patent number: 8612216Abstract: To form an audio signal, frequency components of the audio signal which are allotted to a first subband are formed by means of a subband decoder using supplied fundamental period values which respectively indicate a fundamental period for the audio signal. Frequency components of the audio signal which are allotted to a second subband are formed by exciting an audio synthesis filter using an excitation signal which is specific to the second subband. To produce this excitation signal, an excitation signal generator derives a fundamental period parameter from the fundamental period values. The fundamental period parameter is used by the excitation signal generator to form pulses with a pulse shape which is dependent on the fundamental period parameter at an interval of time which is determined by the fundamental period parameter and to mix them with a noise signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2006Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8098727Abstract: In on aspect, user data is decoded which has been coded as base data and refining data, wherein the base data is decoded using a first delay and the refining data is decoded using a second delay which is longer than the first delay. Furthermore, a check establishes whether the refining data is available in accordance with a time parameter. If the check result is positive, the decoded base data is additionally delayed, the additionally delayed decoded base data is mixed with the decoded refining data, and resulting mixed data is output as user data. If the check result is negative, however, the decoded base data is output as user data.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2007Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co.
