Abstract: Data can be encoded by assigning source symbols to base blocks, assigning base blocks to source blocks and encoding each source block into encoding symbols, where at least one pair of source blocks is such they have at least one base block in common with both source blocks of the pair and at least one base block not in common with the other source block of the pair. The encoding of a source block can be independent of content of other source blocks. Decoding to recover all of a desired set of the original source symbols can be done from a set of encoding symbols from a plurality of source blocks wherein the amount of encoding symbols from the first source block is less than the amount of source data in the first source block and likewise for the second source block.

Abstract: A packet-based multimedia service is provided to a terminal in a network. A packet signaling connection is established between the terminal and the network. Signaling information for the multimedia service is transferred via the packet signaling connection using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) or a similar protocol. A circuit bearer connection is also established with the terminal. Data for the multimedia service is transferred via the circuit bearer connection. This allows the data to be carried across networks which do not support the required QoS functionality for the packet-based service, or which cannot efficiently carry packet-based data. The circuit bearer connection can be established by a network entity or by the terminal. The circuit bearer can be interworked to a packet-switched bearer at some point in the network, such as at a gateway, so as to provide a remote party with the appearance that a fully packet-switched connection is being used.

Abstract translation: 基于分组的多媒体服务被提供给网络中的终端。 在终端和网络之间建立分组信令连接。 通过使用会话发起协议（SIP）或类似协议的分组信令连接来传送多媒体业务的信令信息。 终端也建立了电路承载连接。 通过电路承载连接传输多媒体业务的数据。 这允许数据在不支持基于分组的服务所需的QoS功能的网络上承载，或者不能有效地承载基于分组的数据。 电路承载连接可由网络实体或终端建立。 电路承载可以在诸如网关的网络中的某一点处与分组交换承载互通，从而向远程方提供正在使用完全分组交换连接的外观。

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate providing an object-based transport protocol that allows transmission of arbitrarily sized objects over a network protocol layer. The object-based transport protocol can also provide association of metadata with the objects to control communication thereof, and/or communication of response objects. Moreover, the object-based transport protocol can maintain sessions with remote network nodes that can include multiple channels, which can be updated over time to seamlessly provide mobility, increased data rates, and/or the like. In addition, properties can be modified remotely by network nodes receiving objects related to the properties.

Abstract: In order to carry out actions such as setting up a call from an entity in the address realm of one middlebox to an entity in the address realm of another middlebox, then a middlebox control node such as a call server is used. Previously, the middlebox control node has needed to have pre-configured information about all the middleboxes and which address realms they are associated with. The present invention provides one or more middlebox-identity-providing nodes which are separate from the middlebox control node, and which are more directly connected to the end users of the service than the middlebox control node. This provides greater flexibility in network design and removes the need for middlebox information to be pre-configured at the middlebox control node. Instead, this information is sent to the middlebox control node, as part of signalling messages, from middlebox-identity-providing nodes.

Abstract: A block-request streaming system provides for improvements in the user experience and bandwidth efficiency of such systems, typically using an ingestion system that generates data in a form to be served by a conventional file server (HTTP, FTP, or the like), wherein the ingestion system intakes content and prepares it as files or data elements to be served by the file server. The system might include controlling the sequence, timing and construction of block requests, time based indexing, variable block sizing, optimal block partitioning, control of random access point placement, including across multiple presentation versions, dynamically updating presentation data, and/or efficiently presenting live content and time shifting.

Abstract: A block-request streaming system provides for improvements in the user experience and bandwidth efficiency of such systems, typically using an ingestion system that generates data in a form to be served by a conventional file server (HTTP, FTP, or the like), wherein the ingestion system intakes content and prepares it as files or data elements to be served by the file server. A client device can be adapted to take advantage of the ingestion process. The client device might be configured to optimize use of resources, given the information available to it from the ingestion system. This may include configurations to determine the sequence, timing and construction of block requests based on monitoring buffer size and rate of change of buffer size, use of variable sized requests, mapping of block requests to underlying transport connections, flexible pipelining of requests, and/or use of whole file requests based on statistical considerations.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for preemptive DNS resolution. A DNS proxy is provided for inspecting data packets transmitted to a client device on a first communication link. The proxy identifies one or more host device names embedded in the inspected data packets and resolves IP addresses associated with the embedded host device names. The proxy device transmits the inspected data packets to the client device without alterations on a second communication link. The second communication link has significantly higher propagation latency than the first communication link. The proxy then transmits to the client device, independent of the inspected data packets, the one or more host device names and the associated resolved IP addresses for use by the client device to establish connections to the host devices identified in the inspected data packet.
