摘要:
A method of setting up calls over circuit-switched and packet-switched resources on a single network having the steps of receiving a request from a user for a call having one or more resources, and allocating the one or more resources among packet-switched, resources and circuit-switched resources associated with a communication network to set up the call. The call may be a multi-media call. Resources may be allocated based on one or more call characteristics that may be in a request for resources by the user.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for interfacing different service creation environments (SCEs) and execution environments (EEs) in a telecommunication system. A telecommunication system interface in accordance with the present invention includes at least one SCE to be interfaced to a plurality of service EEs; a parser for parsing output code from the SCE to form a parse tree representing a telecommunication service developed in the SCE; an intermediate code generator for generating an intermediate code representing nodes of the parse tree such that the intermediate code preserves substantially all the information contained within the SCE output code; and a target code generator for generating a target code for each of the EEs from the intermediate code, such that the telecommunication service developed in the SCE may be provided in each of the EEs.

In a communication network wherein a first computing device represents a resource owner and a second computing device represents a resource requestor, the resource owner detects an occurrence of an event, wherein the event occurrence represents a request to access one or more resources of the resource owner stored in a resource residence. The resource owner sends an authorization token to the resource requestor in response to the event occurrence, the authorization token serving as a proof of authorization delegated by the resource owner to be presented by the resource requestor to the resource residence so as to permit the resource requestor to access the one or more requested resources stored in the resource residence.

The present invention specifies the mechanism for supporting end-to-end quality of service (QoS) reservations for an implicit reservations model using a Resource and Admission Control Function (RACF) apparatus. The invention teaches how to implement implicit resource reservations using the open-standard Resource and Admission Control Function (RACF), which is being standardized in ITU-T. Several methods are covered: 1) With a first method, a general distributed approach has been specified. 2) For a second method, the terminating RACF keeps the state of the reservations, so the resulting protocol is relatively simple, robust, and easy to implement. 3) A third method, which can be based on either of the above methods or their combination, starts reservations at both, the terminating and originating RACF ends and works toward the meet-me point.

The present invention sets forth a methodology that allows involved processes to partition among themselves a pre-defined set of multi-type resources in a way that all processes end up satisfied with the outcome of the partitioning, and no central mediation for such partitioning is required. One exemplary embodiment of the invention sets forth a method of allocating multiple type resources among a distributed set of processes that includes the steps of selecting a process from the set of processes for partitioning the resources; partitioning the resources at the selected process; sharing results of the partitioning with others of the set of processes, wherein said other processes select a partition from the partitioned resources; the selected process being able to select a partition subsequent to the other processes having selected a partition. The method also repeats the above steps until all currently involved processes are satisfied by a selected partition of available resources. Additionally, if more than one process contends for the same partition, a next-in-line process not having been allocated resources repartitions remaining resources for selection by currently unsatisfied processes.

A method and apparatus for establishing multimedia calls over an intelligent telecommunications network in which the calls are requested through an internetwork of client computers and server computers and the internetwork of client computers and server computers is further connected to the intelligent telecommunications network. The method involves: 1) a caller generating a request for a call utilizing the internetwork to initiate the request; 2) delivering multimedia and/or audiovisual presentations(s) to the caller via the internetwork and/or public switched telephone network (PSTN); and 3) completing a circuit switched telephone call between the caller and a destination user subsequent to the delivery of the presentations(s) wherein the call is placed from within the intelligent network itself. In this manner, one or more multimedia advertisements or other presentations are delivered to the originating caller before completion of the requested call.

In a communication network, assume a first computing device is an end user device, a second computing device is a gateway server, and a third computing device is an application server. A method comprises the following steps. The second computing device authenticates one or more packets received from the first computing device. The second computing device marks the one or more packets with a first-layer identity before routing the one or more packets toward the third computing device such that the third computing device is able to authenticate the one or more packets from the first computing device by confirming an association between the first-layer identity and a second-layer identity. For example, the first-layer identity may comprise a link layer identity assigned to the first computing device and the second-layer identity may comprise an application layer identity assigned to the first computing device.

A method and apparatus for supporting end-to-end quality of service (QoS) reservations for an implicit reservations model are provided. The invention teaches how to implement implicit resource reservations using the open-standard Resource and Admission Control Function (RACF). A request for resources for a given reservation between an originating and a terminating point in a network is received. A central controller for that domain processes the request for a given domain to determine whether routes for said reservation are available and whether necessary bandwidth for said reservation is available. An implicit reservation and a release of the bandwidth are respectively accomplished with a specific number of messages.If the routes and bandwidth are available, the reservation for the given domain is confirmed and the reservation request is passed to another central controller for a next domain having resources required to satisfy the reservation request.
