Abstract: A communication infrastructure includes a plurality of cable modem circuits communicatively coupled to a cable network and each associated with a corresponding one of a plurality of subscribers. A head end system communicatively couples to the cable network, to the public switched telephony network, and to the Internet network and bridges calls between the Internet network and the public switched telephony network, between the cable network and the Internet network, and between the cable network and the public switched telephony network. A billing server of the head end system grants call bridging permission to telephone devices and monitors bridging usage. The cable modem circuits include wireless access points. The head end system routes a call to a wireless terminal via the cable network and a wireless access point within a home when present there and via a wireless access point coupled to the Internet network when not present there.

Abstract: An end-point device comprises multiple communication transceivers via which the end-point device associates with multiple access points. The multiple access points may belong to packet switched data networks that are communicatively incompatible. Each of the associated access points contributes a separate pathway for flow of data packets between the end-point device and a backbone network that communicatively connects all associated access points. Each of the associated access points receives and stores unique network addresses assigned to the end-point device by the associated access points and information corresponding to the associated pathways in respective memories. Each of the associated access points delivers data packets directly to the end-point device and/or indirectly via the backbone network and one of the remaining associated access points. An access point selects an indirect path via the backbone network for delivering the data packets based on the information received from the end-point device and/or a variety of communication characteristics. The access point uses a unique network address assigned by another access point to the end-point device when it routes the data packets via the another access point.

Abstract: An end-point device comprises multiple communication transceivers via which the end-point device associates with multiple access points. The multiple access points may belong to packet switched data networks that are communicatively incompatible. Each of the associated access points contributes a separate pathway for flow of data packets from the end-point device to a destination device. The end-point device gathers information regarding the associated pathways. The information may contain protocol information, user preferences and/or current pathway performance information. The end-point device uploads unique network addresses assigned to it by the associated access points and the gathered information to all or selected few of nodes of the associated networks. If needed, the end-point device associates with an additional access point or dissociates from an access point. The end-point device keeps the all or the selected few of the nodes updated about its network associations and the currently associated pathway information.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are operable to produce MPEG or like video streams from video data that is accompanied by metadata. This greatly reduces the processing requirements associated with encoding an MPEG or other like standard video stream. This is achieved by decoding formatted video data received from a computer system with a video processor. A frame or series of frames may be produced from the formatted video data by the video processor. In the instance where a series of frames are produced, these may be supplied to a display driver and presented on an operatively coupled display. The image frame or series of image frames may be supplied to a video stream encoder along with the metadata wherein the video stream encoder is operable to apply the metadata to the image or series of images in order to produce a set of instructions that allow subsequent images to be generated from the image or images produced by the video processor. This second video stream can then be distributed within a video display network.
