  • Patent number: 9614714
    Abstract: A video telecommunication connection is established via a landline telecommunications network and an IP multimedia subsystem telecommunications network using a media gateway control function of at least one Internet multimedia-media gateway device in the IP multimedia subsystem telecommunications network. An H.223 multiplex level usable for a telecommunication connection is exposed to an H.223 protocol negotiation, in carrying out an H.245 protocol negotiations for setting up the H.223 protocol negotiations connection for a telecommunication connection. A media gateway control function device is informed when the H.223 logic channels are open by H.245 signaling, thereby enabling the Internet multimedia-media gateway device of the IP multimedia subsystem telecommunications network to carry out at least part of the setup.

  • Patent number: 9356973
    Abstract: The embodiments relate to, among other things, a network interface unit (IM-MGW) in which signaling data is separated from useful data by the values of received data. The signaling data is tunneled to a control unit (MGCF). Two different data transmission networks (CS, IMS) can thus be simply combined, in particular, for video telephony.

  • Patent number: 8265088
    Abstract: An IP user data transport connection is established between a Media Gateway O and a Media Gateway T according to the BICC “Delayed Backward Bearer Establishment”. The Media Gateway O sends an IPBCP Accepted message towards the Media Gateway T upon receipt of an IPBCP Request message from Media Gateway T. The Media Gateway O sends data within the user data transport connection towards the Media Gateway T. The user data may arrive at the Media Gateway T before the IPBCP accepted message. The Media Gateway T retrieves the source IP address and Port number from a user data transport connection IP packet received the Media Gateway O, and sends the first user data transport connection IP packet(s) towards the Media Gateway O upon receipt of a user data transport connection IP packet from the Media Gateway O, using the retrieved IP Address and Port number as destination.

  • Patent number: 7577152
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for modification of a connection between a transmitting subscriber and a receiving subscriber in a communications system, which is based on data compression, within a switching center, with a data frame which arrives in the switching center and is formatted on the basis of a framing protocol being replaced independently of the length of the data frame by a new data frame formatted on the basis of the framing protocol, such that additional information can be fed into the connection without any loss of quality or time.

  • Publication number: 20060165019
    Abstract: An efficient reduction for the time delay during echo correction in a telecommunications network is made possible by a method for reducing an echo in uplink data (19 to 22) that are issued from a terminal (2, 3) of a telecommunications network (6, 8). A copy (25) of downlink data is created from downlink data (13) that are to be transmitted from the telecommunications network (6, 8) toward the terminal (3). Said copy (25) of downlink data is converted (transcoder 18) and used for the reduction (10) of echo in uplink data (21), whereas downlink data (13) are transmitted (6) toward the terminal (2, 3).

  • Publication number: 20050033570
    Abstract: Efficient adjustment of tones and announcements are equalized in the conversation of a mobile radio telephone subscriber by a common air interface (4) enabling an exchange to occur between several transmission modes characterized by different compression of said conversation. This is achieved by means of a device and a method for adjusting an acoustic sequence (11; 12; 13; 14; 15; 16; 17; 18) in the speech channel of a common air interface (4) for a subscriber (2) of a mobile radio telephone network (4, 3, 5). According to the invention, a transmission mode (A; B; C) which is to be used on the speech channel can be selected (3,5) from several transmission modes defined by differing degrees of compression of speech sequences (8) of the subscriber (2) on the common air interface. An adjustable acoustic sequence is stored in several compression data sets (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18) whose compression respectively corresponds to the compression of at least one of the transmission modes (A; B; C:).
