In a method, system and apparatus for providing rules-based restriction of incoming calls, a network entity such as a call manager receives a call request from a caller to setup a call to the client. The call manager includes a database including a client profile for the client, the client profile including identification data for the client and one or more client-defined conditions for accepting calls. The call manager also includes a processor coupled to the database that is configured to: query the database to obtain the client profile for the client in response to the call request received from the caller; determine if the call request from the caller satisfies the one or more client-defined conditions; and reject the call request if the call request is determined not to satisfy the one or more client-defined conditions.

A method for reducing the number of channels that are scanned during a handoff situation for a wireless endpoint station in a wireless local area network (WLAN), such as an IEEE 802.11 network, by tracking past user movements within the WLAN. A suitable sequence of channels to be scanned is generated so that reduce the number of handoffs are reduced and the average time during a handoff is reduced. To reduce handoffs and handoff latencies, the principle of locality (user movement patterns tend to be repetitive) is used. By tracking the past handoffs, future handoffs are predicted.

A gateway includes a transceiver operable to transmit and receive communications to a fixed communication device; and a processor cooperatively operable with the transceiver. The processor is configured to facilitate establishing an FXS/FXO connection to the fixed communication device; detecting a configuration query received via the transceiver from the fixed communication device, the configuration query indicating a network infrastructure device for which configuration information is requested; obtaining configuration information corresponding to the network infrastructure device; providing a message with the configuration information inserted therein; and transmitting the message to the fixed communication device via the transceiver.

An enhanced services display message protocol (ESDMP) facilitates display of messages in a compliant analog telephony device (ATD). An exemplary gateway device in a voice over packet (VOP) network can activate enhanced services in a compliant ATD using the ESDMP and includes a controller and first and second interfaces. One of the interfaces can transmit and receive communications over a VOP network. The other interface can transmit and receive voice band message data modulated according to a frequency shift keying (FSK) protocol. The ESDMP can be used to configure the gateway to activate features supported by the ATD, to update call state information and to display feature state information.

Disclosed above are various embodiments of VoIP communication systems that utilize low cost IP phones that rely on a centralized VoIP controller for much of the processing. Reducing the processing taking place on an IP phone may reduce the number of components that need to be on the IP phone which may result in a less expensive IP phone in terms of both cost and power. When the IP phone is embodied as a WIPP, the reduced processing may also result in more efficient communication between the WIPP and an AP. The increased communication efficiency may result in less power being used by the WIPP and effectively extend the battery life. Since a number of redundant components have been centralized, the VoIP system as a whole may be less costly. Also, centralized control may provide greater functionality and versatility in the setup and configuration of a VoIP communication system.
摘要:
A method and system that enables IP (Internet Protocol)-like features on a conventional telephone that is connected to a device that handles voice calls on a network, such as a media gateway. The device sends messages concerning acknowledgement of call features, call status, call updates, and diagnostic or informative error information to the caller identification display on the conventional telephone.

The transport of ABCD bits in a digital packet network is facilitated by the inclusion of the ABCD bits into the RTP header of the digital packets. The ABCD bits are first placed in the unused bits of the RTP header. Redundancy of the previous ABCD bits, when applicable, is achieved by restricting the size of fields in the header to reserve space for redundant ABCD bits. The ABCD bits are placed in the reserved portions of restricted header fields.
