摘要:
A methods and apparatus for establishing a personalized connection with a network from a variety of different terminals and/or ports connected with the network. Subscribers to the network can be provided with a unique subscriber ID that may be used by the network to identify the subscriber. Furthermore, based on the subscriber ID, the network or a network customizing device can access a subscriber profile in order to personalize a connection with the subscriber. Additionally, the subscriber profile can be used by the network service provider for billing purposes.

In an internet telephony system, toll-free service and the calls that are accepted and paid for can be specified by the IP telephony system user to be limited according to the calling party's identity, time of day, day of week or other criteria. Data that is used to screen or filter incoming calls is programmed into a call manager by the IP telephone system user's broadband residential gateway. Using such a system the user can carefully screen calls that are paid for and more closely control telecommunications service costs. More generally, the user has the ability to store predefined call handling criteria, which may be executed by the broadband residential gateway and/or the call manager.

A base station for mobile radio telecommunications systems comprises a radio frame set, an amplifier frame, and an antenna interface frame connected to transmit and receive antennas. The radio frame set comprises a radio channel frame including a radio control complex (31), a plurality of radio channel units (54) and a plurality of digital interface circuits (57) for interconnecting the base station to a remote mobile telephone switching office. A time division multiplexed bus (53), connected to the radio control complex (31), the radio channel units (54) and the interface circuits (57), is used for selectively connecting, under the control of the radio control complex (31), any radio channel unit (54) to any digital interface circuit (57). Such a radio channel arrangement is capable of handling analog, as well as, digital radio channel units while exhibiting greater capacity, easier maintenance and upgrade, and substantially increased flexibility.

The present invention includes a number of systems and techniques for service control for a broadband communications system that includes voice, data and multimedia audio and video communication. One variation of the present invention includes service control based on multiple relationships between equipment specific unique media access control (MAC) addresses, system addresses and directory numbers to enable the properly route traffic between the broadband communication system and legacy telephone systems. In this case, one server, for example a dynamic host control protocol (DHCP) server is used to assign system addresses to equipment unique MAC addresses and another server, for example a call manager (CM) server is used to assign directory numbers to the system addresses. Another variation of the present invention includes service control based on multiple relationships between equipment specific unique media access control (MAC) addresses and directory numbers (DNs) to enable the properly route traffic between the broadband communication system and legacy telephone systems. In this case the DHCP server is not needed to assign system addresses to MAC addresses.

Termination equipment for a WorldNet™ wireless network receives packet data from a data terminal of a DirecTV™ Settop Box. This data is directed to a recipient through a router and transmitted by wireless or coax LAN to customer premises data equipment. Replies to the network by customer premises equipment are transmitted by wireless or coax LAN to the router to a CDPD radio modem for transmission, via CDPD, to a remote termination connected to the network.

A wireless telecommunication system includes a microwave link between a main base station (100) and a remote reception and radiation site (106) capable of communicating with a plurality of telephone subscriber stations (107, 108). At the main base station (100), radio frequency signals intended for the telephone subscriber stations are modulated on a microwave frequency carrier signal prior their transmission, via a microwave antenna (112), to the remote site. At the remote site (106), the frequencies of the microwave signals, received at a microwave antenna (114), are reduced prior to modulating such frequency-reduced signals on a radio frequency carrier signal and radiating, via a radio frequency antenna (115), the modulated radio signals out of the site. All radio signals received at the remote site from telephone subscriber stations are modulated on a microwave carrier signal prior to their transmission, via a microwave antenna (114), to the main base station (100). At the main base station (100), the frequencies of the incoming microwave signals are reduced prior to modulating such frequency-reduced signals on a radio frequency carrier signal and coupling the modulated radio signals to a receiver.

An intelligent services director, ISD (22) is coupled to a central office (34) via a twisted-pair connection (30), the ISD (22) and the central office (34) may communicate with each other using DSL modem technology. The central office (34) preferably includes a platform (32) for processing data exchanged across the customer connection (30). The platform may be configured to separate the plain old telephone service, POTS, from the remainder of the data on the customer connection (30). The remaining data may be output to a high speed backbone network whereas the analog POTS data may be output directly to a public switch telephone network, PSTN (46), and/or it may be digitized, routed through the high speed backbone network, and then output fo the PSTN (46).

The present invention includes a method, system and computer program product for providing for transmission of internet protocol traffic along a transmission path in a broadband communication system such that a virtual leased IP line provides a guaranteed minimum bandwidth. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of requesting, by a user, reservation of a guaranteed minimum bandwidth sufficient for a predetermined IP traffic usage; selecting automatically and dynamically, by a call manager in response to requesting by the user, a transmission path for the virtual leased IP line wherein the path provides at least the guaranteed minimum bandwidth sufficient to accommodate the predetermined IP traffic usage; and reserving, by the call manager, the bandwidth for the transmission path.
