    摘要: A framework of a common mobility management protocol for Q.5/16 (Mobility for Multimedia Systems/Applications and Services) comprises a high level protocol for performing the functions of address resolution, routing, location update and authentication. The common mobility management protocol can be used by all existent and future multimedia applications (MA's) to support mobility management for messaging among mobility management authentication function (AuF), home location function (HLF) and visitor location function (VLF) databases/servers, and the corresponding multimedia application functional entities (MAFEs) of the multimedia applications (MA's). The common mobility management protocol may replace, act in concert with or in sequence with existent interworking protocols for the various multimedia applications. Reference point architectures, functional characteristics, features, and capabilities of the protocol are described including call flows and message syntax. In addition, the scope of Q.5/16 and how H.MMS.1 (H.323 Mobility), H.MMS.2 (Global Mobility), and H.MMS.3 (Presence/Instant Messaging Mobility) can be a part of the same common mobility management protocol have also been presented.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for providing multimedia conferencing services with selective performance parameters delivers a different representation of the same video signals to each of a plurality of users depending on the hardware limitations, software limitations, network limitations, and user preferences of each user device. Thus, each user can choose the quality of service he/she wants to receive in view of system limitations and cost considerations. The quality of service may be defined in terms of bandwidth, jitter, frame rate, and delay, for example. The apparatus includes a multimedia bridge that receives video signals from at least one of the plurality of users. The multimedia bridge scales-down the video signals as necessary before sending the video signals to the end users. The multimedia bridge also detects congestion occurring during the multimedia conference and scales-down the video signals, if necessary, to meet reduced network availability. In addition, the multimedia bridge accommodates changes in user preferences occurring during the multimedia conference and adjusts the video signals as necessary.

    摘要: A technique for providing real-time multimedia conferencing services with guaranteed performance, in a hybrid networking environment, by interconnecting cable modem-based premises networks via hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) access networks and an ATM wide area network is disclosed. A functional design constitutes both component and protocol architecture of an ATM cable modem for both premises networks and headend stations. The ATM wide area network may be divided into a plurality of access network domains and one backbone network domain to provide efficient and intelligent multimedia conferencing services. Each ATM access network domain has one cable modem server as well as access multimedia bridge server, while there is only one central network server and one central multimedia bridge server within the backbone network domain. Each cable modem server located in an ATM access network domain maintains necessary information of how the bandwidth of the cable network is being used by existing calls, and how the cable bandwidth will be allocated when new multimedia conference calls are initiated, in accordance with the desired priority and performance levels. If all conference participants are connected to the same ATM access network domain, the access multimedia bridge server of that domain will provide bridging, otherwise the central multimedia bridge will provide bridging. An integrated call control algorithm and cable modem control and signaling protocol scheme has been developed to set up multimedia conference calls that guarantee bandwidth over the cable access network as well within the wide area ATM network.
