摘要:
A method for combining Internet protocols in a Differentiated Services model environment is described. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and Common Open Policy Service (COPS) are combined together to provide methods of setting up a session (1) and tearing down a session, while maintaining Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) policies (2). The Open Settlement Policy (OSP) is also combined with SIP and COPS. This combination provides for an interchange of parameters between session setup, teardown, authorization, policy, Quality of Service (QoS), and usage reporting.

Erfindungsgemäß wird jedem Teilbereich (NB1,2) eine Teilbereichinformation (IA,rn) zugeordnet und bei einer Initialisierung einer Verbindung (V) wird die dem Ursprungs- und Ziel-Teilbereich (NB1,2) zugeordnete Teilbereichinformation (IA,rn) sowie eine angeforderte Ressourcen (TRV) signalisiert. Eine von einem Teilbereich (NB1) zu einem weiteren Teilbereich (NB2) zu initialisierende Verbindung (V) wird unter Berücksichtigung der angeforderten Ressourcen (TRV) und den verfügbaren übertragungstechnischen Ressource(TR) zwischen den Teilbereichen (NB1,2) zugelassen.

A supervisory communications node monitors and controls communications with a plurality of remote devices throughout a widely distributed network. A method, system, and computer program product are provided to convey and maintain information used to synchronize the packetization and burst operations within the network. During session setup, jitter constraints indirectly are used to explicitly communicate a synchronization timing reference. The timing reference is set at the beginning of a phase/period boundary used to service the session. In an embodiment, the announcement of the first grant is used as an explicit indication of the synchronization timing reference value. In another embodiment, the synchronization timing reference value is inferred if a remote device receives contiguous voice grants meeting certain conditions. In an embodiment implementing periodic scheduling, the actual arrival of the first grant is used to infer the synchronization timing reference value. In an embodiment, the present invention enables the synchronization timing reference value and/or the periodicity to be modified if network conditions indicate that packetization and burst operations are out-of-synchronization,

There are many circumstances in which delay sensitive traffic and a delay insensitive traffic share an access to a telecommunications network. TCP/IP is well suited for proper delivery of the delay insensitive traffic whereas the delay sensitive traffic uses UDP/IP protocol. When a delay sensitive traffic in UDP/IP packets is in progress, ACK delay parameter in TCP/IP protocol can be adjusted so that UDP packets can be inserted among TCP packets to reduce collision and end-to-end delay of UDP packets.

To allow a distributor to take into account the capacity of content distribution targets or service fee when making a reservation for live distribution of content. In a content supply system 100, in order to use a streaming server 102 to perform a live distribution, a user PC 106 used makes a reservation for a time zone, etc. to a server reservation control center 101 over the Internet 103. Here, the streaming server 102 has channels for distribution of a plurality of channels and can carry out distribution processing on the respective channels in the same time zone. The respective channels have a preset service fee and capacity of distribution targets and the user can specify which channel should be used for distribution taking into account these settings when making a reservation.

A method and system for increasing the efficiency of providing bandwidth for voice traffic to a data provider via an asynchronous communication medium are provided. This is generally accomplished by not transmitting any data during the silence periods and playing out background noise (i.e., comfort noise) at the other end, to obtain significant bandwidth savings.

This invention presents a framework for achieving dynamic End-to-End QoS-negotiation and control coordination, with distributed multimedia applications. The framework builds upon dynamic capability negotiation and specification of Adaptation Paths and (alternative) QoS Contracts, based on user preferences. In particular we present a protocol providing End-to-End negotiation of alternative QoS, capabilities, and preferences/configurations, based on extensions of IP-based protocols like SIP/RTSP/SDP, in coordination with mechanisms for network resource reservation (e.g. RSVP), local terminal resource (e.g. CPU, memory, power, auxiliary devices) reservation, and adaptation mechanisms. To this extent, and with respect to two or more peers (101, 103) this invention identifies six phases, through which said peers can establish multiparty, multi-stream, multimedia communications. In detail, the phases are: Protocol Discovery (104), Pre-Negotiation (106), Multi-Stream QoS Synchronization and QoS Correlation (107), Fast-Negotiation (obeying the Economy Principle) (108), Re-Negotiation (obeying the Economy Principle) (109), Resource Reservation Release (110). All the six phases can be concatenated, or be executed at different times. This invention also presents the concept of the E2ENP Broker (105), an optional third-party entity, which can be used for relieving peers (101, 103) from performing the time- and resource-consuming Pre-Negotiation phase (106) (and eventually also the Multi-Stream QoS Synchronization and QoS Correlation (107)). This entity may coincide with e.g. audio-/videoconference bridges.
摘要:
A wireless quality of service (QoS) agent for an all-Internet Protocol (IP) network. The QoS agent couples to an all-IP network. The coupling means includes communication means for transfer of information between the agent and a QoS manager of the all-IP network. The agent is also able to seamlessly extend QoS support for multimedia applications from wireline to wireless and control QoS of the multimedia applications sent over wireless connections on the all-IP network.
