Abstract: Provided is a method, system, and computer readable medium for satellite communication. The method includes determining an operating modulation and coding scheme (MODCOD) associated with each terminal of a plurality of terminals, the plurality of terminals being a part of an iNet; identifying an optimal MODCOD based on operating MODCODs associated with the plurality of terminals; associating the optimal MODCOD with the iNet; and transmitting a multicast stream to the plurality of terminals based on the optimal MODCOD.

Abstract: Disclosed above are various embodiments of VoIP communication systems that utilize low cost IP phones that rely on a centralized VoIP controller for much of the processing. Reducing the processing taking place on an IP phone may reduce the number of components that need to be on the IP phone which may result in a less expensive IP phone in terms of both cost and power. When the IP phone is embodied as a WIPP, the reduced processing may also result in more efficient communication between the WIPP and an AP. The increased communication efficiency may result in less power being used by the WIPP and effectively extend the battery life. Since a number of redundant components have been centralized, the VoIP system as a whole may be less costly. Also, centralized control may provide greater functionality and versatility in the setup and configuration of a VoIP communication system.

Abstract: The invention teaches elimination of the need for allocating a telephony port or equivalent processor resource for realtime facsimile transmission through a broadband access gateway by replacing a fax modem or analog fax machine with a computer system having a network connection to the gateway. A software application on the computer uses a serial port redirector that provides a virtual communication port for facsimile software applications that would otherwise use a fax modem on a computer. The port redirector captures fax data sent to a serial communication port on the computer and sends it to the virtual fax module on the gateway. The gateway has a virtual fax software application associated which emulates a Class 1 or Class 2 fax modem interface from the client-side PC. The gateway uses a codec to convert fax data into ITU T.38 standards for “Procedures for real-time Group 3 facsimile communication over IP networks”. Packetized T.

Abstract: A system to enable TTY communication between a legacy TTY phone and an IP phone over a packet network using a TTY relay protocol established between the IP phone and a media gateway at a central office of the PSTN. The system may also use a voice over Internet Protocol gateway to connect a personal computer to the packet network instead of an IP phone to accomplish TTY communication between software on the computer and a legacy TTY phone.

Abstract: A method and system that enables IP (Internet Protocol)-like features on a conventional telephone that is connected to a device that handles voice calls on a network, such as a media gateway. The device sends messages concerning acknowledgement of call features, call status, call updates, and diagnostic or informative error information to the caller identification display on the conventional telephone.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for improving the throughput of wireless networks, such as IEEE 802.11 networks. Individual devices in the network determine the level of activity on the network. In the event that the network is active, the devices increase throughput by skipping the pending packet transmission and appending its data payload to a future packet transmission. By encoding multiple payloads in a single packet transmission, packet overhead is reduced and MAC layer delays are eliminated. The data payloads are subsequently split back into individual packets for transmission over the wired portion of the network.

Abstract: A system and method for transmitting voice data traffic over a wireless medium, such as a voice call using a wireless Internet Protocol mobile phone on a wireless local area network, to increase the quality and the number of voice calls on a Basic Service Set. Endpoints are capable of dynamically switching to alternate voice coding profiles. The WLAN is surveyed by a wireless endpoint to determine whether a congested network condition exists. Coding profiles may be dynamically switched to decrease the congested conditions and improve call quality. If dynamically switching of profiles in not available then the wireless endpoint gracefully degrades the transmission by periodically dropping packets until network congestion reduces and/or call quality increases.

Abstract: A technique to change a codec in realtime during transmission of a voice over packet call placed over a packet switched network, such as the Internet, is described. The invention provides users real-time control over the cost and quality of a voice over packet call by monitoring the dynamically changing resources and network conditions on a packet network and allowing users to change codecs of the call transmission before and during the call according to user-defined specifications.
