Abstract: A system and method for interfacing unified message processing systems with legacy voice mail, e-mail and facsimile systems, located behind corporate firewalls. The system includes a unified message server, a proxy interface and a message protocol convertor. The proxy interface is configured to access the legacy system in response to a request from a unified message server. Messages stored on the legacy system are converted by a protocol convertor to a predetermined format compatible with the unified message server. The converted messages are then transferred to a unified message server which is capable of providing messages from different messaging system, such as voice mail, e-mail and facsimile to users in a predetermined format. The invention permits enterprise wide communication systems to provide unified messaging without abandoning pre-existing legacy messaging system.

Abstract: The variables and parameters previously understood to affect the gain spectrum of an optical amplifier 13 were: (1) the wavelengths to be amplified; (2) the input power levels at those wavelengths; (3) the characteristics of the amplifying medium 20; (4) the insertion loss spectra of the amplifier's components, including any filter(s) used for gain flattening; (5) the pump band chosen to pump the amplifying medium 20; and (6) the total amount of pump power supplied in the chosen pump band. An additional fundamental variable has been identified which can be used to control the gain spectrum of an optical amplifier 13, namely, the center wavelength of the spectrum of the pump's output power within the chosen pump band. Methods and apparatus for using this variable for this purpose are disclosed.For example a, transmission system is disclosed having a transmitter 11 and a receiver 10 connected by an optical fiber 12. A plurality of optical amplifiers 13 are located along the optical fiber 12 to amplify signal channels between the transmitter and receiver. Each of the amplifiers has a pump light source 21, the wavelength of which is such that contributions to differential gain due to pump light wavelength related effects is substantially reduced.Also disclosed is a WDM transmission system having a transmission path including a concatenation of laser diode pumped optical amplifiers 13 wherein the gain spectrum of an amplifier is controlled at least in part by a feedback loop regulating the temperature of its laser diode pump 21. The feedback loop may for instance derive its control signal from a measure of the drive current applied to the pump, of the emission wavelength of the pump, or of the disparity between the power output from the amplifier in one of the multiplexed signal channels and that from at least one other of the channels.

Abstract: In a WDM transmission system carrying amplitude modulated traffic in which significant cross-phase modulation occurs, each of the individual channels is pre-chirped at the transmitter with replicas, or low-pass filtered replicas of the amplitude modulation applied to each of the other channels. Prechirping of each individual channel with a replica of the amplitude modulation applied to that channel may be added in order additionally to provide compensation for self-phase modulation.

Abstract: A system and method for initially locating and subsequently tracking the location of one or more mobile phones in a cellular communication network are disclosed. Software for implementing a scheduling and tracking system ("STS") is incorporated into the base station controller ("BSC") of a cellular communication network for performing scheduling and tracking functions with respect to mobile phone location. In one aspect of the invention, time difference of arrival ("TDOA") techniques are used to determine a location of each of a number of designated mobile phones active in the network. In another aspect of the invention, a scheduling portion of the STS originates and maintains a schedule of time measurement updates with reference to the previous location of the mobile phone. In yet another aspect of the invention, a tracking portion of the STS keeps track of the location of each of the designated mobile phones over time.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved method of pigtailing of high-density Wavelength Division Multiplex (WDM) components, achieved by etching silicon V-grooves for locating the fibres after completion of the PLC device fabrication processes. This avoids the need for etching or pre-patterning of the V-grooves on substrates before device fabrication, and hence avoids any of the waveguide to fibre alignment problems that have been found in the methods of the prior art.

Abstract: A phase array antenna is monitored by applying to each element of the array in turn a signal known characteristics, detecting the signal output from the selected element as a result of the applied known signal, and comparing the detected signal with the applied signal whereby to monitor changes in the applied signal due to the signal path. The detection is preferably carried out using a single monitoring unit in the near-field of each antenna element. Alternatively the detection is carried out using a single source of applied signals a number of individual monitoring units one for each element of the array, and a switching device for selecting the element of the array to be monitored.

Abstract: A method of reducing bandwidth used on a telecommunications link comprising, at an input to the link, the steps of: receiving a plurality of data packets, each packet comprising data and a packet identifier; determining packets which contain redundant data; transmitting, across the link, packets which do not contain redundant data; and further comprising, at an output of the telecommunications link, the steps of: receiving the transmitted packets; determining missing packets according to the identifiers of received packets; and generating data for the missing packets, which generated data corresponds to redundant data not transmitted across the link. This ensures bit count integrity between the input and the output of the link. Redundant data may be data following a predictable pattern, such as identical data. Where the packet identifiers are a recurring sequence of N symbols, the input transmits at least one packet in every N packets.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to wireless networks, and particularly a method and apparatus for assigning carrier frequencies to base station antenna sites.Base stations are represented as a matrix of interconnected nodes and links, the nodes representing carrier frequency sites and the links being dimensioned in accordance with disallowed frequency slots. A first algorithm is used to assign carrier frequencies to the carrier frequency sites in a non-interfering manner resulting in a partial frequency assignment plan. A second algorithm assigns carrier frequencies to the remaining vacant carrier sites in a manner which seeks to minimise the amount of interference. The order in which the carrier sites are assigned carrier frequencies is determined by either a random ordering, an order generated by simulated annealing, or an ordering generated by a genetic algorithm. A quality measure is generated from the resultant frequency plan and is used to modify the order in which the frequencies are assigned to carrier site nodes in subsequent iterations.
