A reverse caching system (120) monitors residential end-user communications to cache content files when they are transferred from the residential end-users (101-103) over access links (100) to a core communication network (115). The reverse caching system (120) monitors the residential end-user communications to identify requests for the content files cached in the reverse caching system (120). In response to identifying the requests, the reverse caching system (120) transfers the requested content files from the reverse caching system (120) to the core communication network (115).

A communication system (100) includes a switching system (101) and a service control system (110). The switching system (101) receives and processes a communication request to transfer a query message. The service control system (110) receives and processes the query message to generate and transfer a response message indicating a route. The service control system (110) processes the query message with multiple parallel functions to generate an action message and processes the action message to select the route. The switching system (101) receives and processes the response message indicating the route and transfers a communication using the route.

A performance management system (700) provides performance information of a communication network (100). The performance management system (700) receives an instruction to request the performance information from a user system. The performance management system (700) processes the instruction to determine the performance information. The performance management system (700) generates a graphical format of the performance information. The performance management system (700) then transmits the graphical format of the performance information to the user system.

A system (102) and method for connecting a call includes a signaling processor (104) adapted to receive and process call signaling to select connections (318, 320, 322) for a call. The signaling processor transmits control messages designating the selected connections. A controllable time division multiplex matrix (202) receives control messages from the signaling processor (104) and, in response to the control messages, makes connections for the call. The system (102) and method may include an interworking unit (302, 304, 306, 308) that receives control messages from the signaling processor (104) and, in response to the control messages, interworks the calls to selected connections (326, 328, 330). The system (102) and method may include an asynchronous transfer mode matrix (310) that receives control messages from the signaling processor and, in response to the control messages, connects the calls to selected connections (334).
摘要:
A first call processing system advantageously uses a constant bit rate connection and a variable bit rate connection to utilize the bandwidth for a data call. The first call processing system receives signaling for the data call. The first call processing system then processes the signaling to generate a first instruction to set up a constant bit rate connection for the data call between the first call processing system and a second call processing system. The first call processing system processes the signaling to generate a second instruction to set up a variable bit rate connection between the first call processing system and the second call processing system. Any bandwidth that the data call does not need and use can be utilized for other calls. Thus, the performance of other calls is improved.

The invention is a system for interfacing an ISDN or non-ISDN system with a broadband system. The broadband system can be an ATM system. The invention can process the ISDN signaling (1054) to select ATM connections (1130) and then interwork the ISDN connections (1120, 1123) with selected ATM connections (1030). The invention can interwork ISDN signaling and SS7 signaling (1054, 1064). The invention can also process SS7 signaling (1064) to select ISDN connections (1020, 1022) and then interwork ATM connections (1030) with the selected ISDN connections (1020, 1022). The invention can also interwork ISDN systems with non-ISDN systems.
摘要:
A telecommunication system that can integrate the capabilities of broadband components with the capabilities of conventional circuit switches. A signalling processor (140) receives and processes a first telecommunications signalling message (160) for the call to provide control and signalling messages (162, 163, 164, 165, 166) that identify the selection and transfer the control messages to the ATM internetworking multiplexers (110, 112, 114) that accepted the access connection for the call. The multiplexers (110, 112, 114) convert user information from the access connection into ATM cells for transmission over the virtual connection in accord with the control messages (162-166). An ATM cross connect system (120) operationally connected to the multiplexers (110, 112, 114) routes the ATM cells based on the virtual connection identified in the ATM cells. The narrowband switches (130, 132) provides the service to call based on the telecommunication signaling message.

The invention is a tandem system (300) for providing a tandem connection for circuit-based traffic. This tandem system comprises an ATM cross-connect (370), ATM interworking multiplexers (360, 364), and a signaling processor (350). The multiplexer converts the traffic received by the tandem system into ATM where it is routed through the cross-connect and re-converted back into the circuit-based format at an ATM interworking multiplexer. The signaling processor controls the virtual connections and outgoing circuit-based connections used by the multiplexers.
