Abstract: Variable-length information-containing frames (e.g., MPDUs) are aggregated into a bitstream using frame delimiters to distinguish the frames. Aggregation and frame extraction techniques are provided that support recovery from bit errors that may be present in a frame delimiter. One class of techniques involves providing redundant length information in the frame delimiters, e.g., by using multiple copies of a length field or error correction codes usable to correct errors in the length field. The receiver can use the redundant information to detect and correct errors in the length field. Another receiver-side technique iteratively attempts to locate the end of the corresponding frame when a corrupt frame delimiter is detected. Conventional synchronization fields may be eliminated.

Abstract: A method for use in an IMS VoIP Network provides for remote troubleshooting of a CPE problem. After receiving a customer complaint, customer care begins the troubleshooting process, collecting and compiling information to send to the test platform. The test platform constructs a SIP test call request instruction and sends it to the CPE. The process is repeated for a number of test calls. If there is no response from any of the test calls, it is concluded that the CPE is in trouble. The results are reported to Customer Care Center, which can use those results to take action to resolve the problem. In another embodiment, after failure of all of the test calls, another SIP instruction is sent to run diagnostics on the CPE. The diagnostic results are reported to Customer Care Center, which can take action based on those results to resolve the problem.

Thereby, the user capability, such as a multimedia session composition, can be already negotiated or handled during the outband call setup phase, and a corresponding inband negotiation can be avoided.

Abstract: A wireless network scheduling control system and a method therefor are provided, which includes a first receiving/transmitting node, one or a plurality of second receiving/transmitting nodes, and an end receiving/transmitting node. When data is transmitted from the first receiving/transmitting node to the end receiving/transmitting node via the second receiving/transmitting node, a type of the transmitted data for being connected is determined. If a transmission sequence can be registered and reset, the end receiving/transmitting node enters a sleeping mode through a control signal, and the second receiving/transmitting node registers and resets the transmission sequence; otherwise, the transmission is performed according to a plan of an MAP. A technology of registering and reorganizing the data in a frame structure that is transmitted is utilized, such that the data relevant to the end receiving/transmitting node is received and transmitted as collectively as possible.

Abstract: A limited acknowledgement-based communication methodology increases the throughput efficiency of extended range, wireless packetized data transmissions to a ‘master’ data-reception site from a ‘slave’ data-sourcing site, geographically remote with respect to the data-reception site. Rather than return an acknowledgement for each received packet, the master returns an acknowledgement only after receipt of a group of packets. When returning an acknowledgement, the master identifies which packets of the group were not successfully received. Missing packets may be retransmitted by the slave transmitter either immediately, or in response to a subsequent poll by the master.

Abstract: The invention uses the advanced intelligent network to provide caller identification for calls placed over the internet (24). A long distance call placed with an internet carrier results in the originating SSP (14) forwarding the call to an originating POP (22) for the internet carrier.

The call is routed to a terminating POP (26) and then to the SSP (32) in the terminating network. The SSP (32) inserts the caller ID information received through the SS7 network (16) and routes the call to the terminating line (30).

Abstract: In a transmission network system in which a path is set between a transmission node and a receiving node and which transmits a transmission signal between the nodes, crossconnect settings of the nodes are enabled while personal settings are minimized. A transmission node has a first path-setting-receiving section; transmission-path-setting change sections; and change insertion sections which report information about a change in path setting received by said path-setting-receiving section by inserting the information into a transmission signal to be transmitted from the node to a receiving node.

Abstract: A high capacity switching node comprises a lattice structure of low-latency switch units and a plurality of balanced connectors interfacing electronic edge nodes to diagonal subsets of said switch units. The edge nodes may be collocated with the switch units or remotely located. The switch units may be bufferless, having optical switch-fabrics for example, thus requiring a compound vacancy-matching process. Using switch units each of dimension 64×64, a fast switching node having a dimension of the order of 10,000×10,000 can be constructed. With a typical wavelength-channel capacity of 10 Gb/s, the fast-switching node would scale to a capacity of 100 terabits per second, which is orders of magnitude higher than the capacity of known fast optical switches. A fast-switching optical switch of such scalability significantly reduces network complexity and cost.

Based on the comparison result, a parameter modification is initiated. Thereby, a discreet and fast slip from an offered to a wanted service can be offered at little message traffic.

The method comprises specifying an additional Topology Descriptor to define the relationship between a monitoring termination and a monitored termination, the descriptor including a parameter (dir) defining whether only information arriving at the monitored termination from outside of the Context, or only information arriving at the monitored termination from inside of the Context, or both is to be sent to the monitoring termination.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described herein to address the need to have a method and apparatus that improve the resource efficiency of inter-PDSN (142 to 141) dormant mode handoffs. Promptly after the completion of signaling (218) for PPP connection establishment and MIP registration (if supported), as required for an inter-PDSN dormant mode handoff, an access network (AN) 121 expedites the release of communication resources such as the wireless traffic channel, the SCCP connection, and the A8 bearer connection. Thus, in an inter-PDSN dormant mode handoff the packet data session of an MS (101) is promptly transitioned back to the dormant packet data state. This enables communication resources to be freed for other calls and/or handoffs in a more timely manner than is enabled today.
