Publication number: 20160337246Abstract: Described is a method for channel management on one or more digital signal processors. The method distinguishes itself by the fact that channel management occurs at any time based on a current load utilization of each digital signal processor, taking into account an actual load requirement of each channel and a maximum total performance capacity of each digital signal processor. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2016Publication date: November 17, 2016Inventors: Detlef Georg, Gunter Marx, Roland Roth, Norbert Schonfeld, Michael Willmann

Patent number: 9100729Abstract: A method is specified for the handling of a telecommunications connection between at least two subscribers, wherein the telecommunications connection has a signalling Channel for transmission of a signalling stream and a payload Channel for the transmission of a payload stream, wherein frequency-coded Signals are transmitted in the payload stream, wherein at least one subscriber among the at least two subscribers is assigned to a network which has a switching device and a signal processing device provided separately from the switching device, and wherein the frequency-coded Signals are recognized in the signal processing device and are transmitted independently of the payload stream to the switching device. The invention also relates to a telecommunications arrangement, a switching device and a network coupling device.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2012Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Unify GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8626945Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transparently exchanging data packets with a packet-oriented network, via which a number of network elements and a network node device are connected based on a common access method. The network elements are allocated unique local addresses only within the network. The network node device connects the packet-oriented network to an external device based on a point-to-point protocol and performs an address conversion of the address of a network element, said address being allocated within the packet-oriented network, into an address valid for the external device. A verification of message header entries of the data packets exchanged between the external device and the network element permits the establishment of a temporary transparent connection of the network element to the external device in the event an entry is detected the characterizes an expanded point-to-point protocol, e.g.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2003Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Siemens Enterprise Communiucations GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 7664121Abstract: A method is provided for switching data between appliances in a packet-oriented local area network and an external appliance connected to the local area network via a router. The appliances in the local area network, including the router, respectively have a network address and an appliance address. The external appliance has an associated network address. An appliance address request relating to the assigned network address is responded to with the appliance address of the router. The router forwards packets containing the assigned network address and the appliance address of the router as destination addresses from the local area network to the external appliance.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2002Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Werner Lindemann, Norbert Schonfeld

Publication number: 20060174029Abstract: The aim of the invention is to exchange data between an external device and applications installed on network elements of a packet-switching network by means of at least one tunnel connection. Said aim is achieved by connecting each network element to a network node device that is part of the tunnel connection while a global address is unambiguously assigned to the terminal point of the tunneled connection, which is located at the network end. The network node device forms the terminal point of the tunnel connection, which is located at the network end, if several network elements jointly utilize said tunnel connection, one of the network elements establishing a tunnel connection and forming the terminal point at the network end thereof if said network element requires a global address for executing an application, a time during which said tunnel connection is used exclusively by said one network element while all data is routed through the network node device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2003Publication date: August 3, 2006Applicant: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Thuy-Phuong Le, Werner Linderman, Norbert Schonfeld

Patent number: 6934764Abstract: On receiving a message in a communications device, a sender or destination network address is checked to determine whether the network address is intended for address conversion. In cases in which the network address is intended for address conversion, a received virtual destination network address is converted to a communications-device-internal destination network address, or a received communications-device-internal sender network address is converted to a virtual sender network address.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2001Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Werner Lindemann, Norbert Schönfeld, Frank Wulf

Publication number: 20020078229Abstract: A method for setting up a communications connection via an IP-oriented network originating from a device connected to a local computer network, the local computer network being connected via a router device to a communications network, which in turn is connected via a multiplicity n of conversion devices to the IP-oriented network. A selection unit is implemented in the router device which, using information transferred by the device, selects one of the conversion devices. A connection is subsequently set up by the router device via the communications network to the selected conversion device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2001Publication date: June 20, 2002Inventors: Werner Lindemann, Norbert Schonfeld
