A packet shaper includes: a TCP packet queue for storing TCP packets; a UDP packet queue for storing UDP packets; a scheduler for outputting a packet from one of the queues into a rate-setting control unit. Control based on a total queue length is performed to deterioration of image quality or tone quality in the audio/visual communications according to a connection-oriented protocol like TCP.

A packet-relay unit 100 including a first interface unit (110), a second interface unit (120), and a function-setting switch (130). The second interface unit (120) includes a classifying unit (121), a priority control unit (122), and a transceiving unit (123). When the function-setting switch (130) sets a “QoS function” as “operative”, the classifying unit (121) transfers packets transferred from the first interface unit (110) to the priority control unit (122). The priority control unit (122) provides priority control over the transferred packets such that the transferred packets are preferentially treated at a wireless zone connected to the second interface unit (120), whereby the priority-controlled packets are transferred to a transceiving unit (123) from the priority control unit (122). When the function-setting switch (130) sets “the QoS function” as “inoperative”, the classifying unit (121) transfers the transferred packets directly to the transceiving unit (123).

An apparatus for embedding information in a signal includes a band dividing device, a block divider, a quantization portion, a signal replacement portion, a mean difference addition portion, a mean calculation portion, and a band synthesis portion. The band dividing device divides the signal into transform coefficients over a plurality of frequency bands. The block divider divides one frequency band into a plurality of blocks in accordance with a previously determined block size. The quantization portion calculates for each block, a mean value M of the transform coefficients in the block, and subjects the mean value M to linear quantization, using a previously determined quantization step-size Q to calculate a quantization value. The signal replacement portion replaces the quantization value for each block, on the basis of the quantization value and the value of the information to be embedded. The mean difference addition portion subjects the replaced quantization value, for each block, to inverse linear quantization using the quantization step-size Q to calculate a mean value M′, and adds a difference DM between the mean value M′ and the mean value M to all the transform coefficients in the block. The mean calculation portion calculates a mean value LM of the transform coefficients in the frequency band after the addition of the difference DM. The band synthesis portion reconstructs a signal in which the information has been embedded using the frequency band after the addition of the difference DM and the other frequency bands.
摘要:
User information related to a predetermined user, including a user ID, is obtained from a server on a network. Telephone book information, including the user ID and a telephone number of a communication apparatus that the predetermined user uses, is input on an operation unit of the present communication apparatus. The user information and the telephone book information are stored while being associated based on the user ID. The telephone book information associated with the user information based on the user ID is displayed as secondary information of the user information, when the user information of the predetermined user is displayed on a display and when display of further information of the predetermined user is instructed.

A packet transmission apparatus transfers arriving packets directly to a highest-priority queue under non-congestion conditions, and classifies the priority of a packet only on the existence of congestion. In one embodiment, non-congestion is determined when all queues are empty. In another embodiment, congestion or non-congestion is determined by upper and lower thresholds on the total number of packets in all queues. The ability to omit classifying incoming packets in the non-congestion condition improves processing speed, and eliminates the need for re-queuing or packet-replacing operations.

By transmitting such an extended Echo request packet that device setting information was written in a payload of an ICMP-Echo packet, to an terminal 10b equipped with ICMP function which does not has a special function, the extended Echo request packet collect device setting statuses of relay devices 110 equipped with extended Echo, and an extended Echo reply packet, which is a reply packet in which a payload of the extended Echo request packet was copied, conveys the compiled device setting statuses and device setting information to each device on a communication route, and thereby, it is possible to carry out a uniform device setting.

The present invention provides a base station including a resource request-receiving unit operable to receive a resource request from a communication apparatus, and a resource-reserving unit operable to make a resource reservation in response to the resource request, in which the resource reservation is required by communication between the base station and the communication apparatus. The resource-reserving unit reserves resources required by data packets, and resources required by acknowledgment packets paired with the data packets. The above structure of the base station transmits the acknowledgment packets without delay, and provides improved communication throughput.
摘要:
In a radio communication system for performing digital radio communications by using time-division multiplexed time slots, a first personal station receives its user's speech through the microphone, converts it into audio data, and transmits them on time slots to a second personal station. On the other hand, the first personal station receives non-audio data from the data processor connected with the second personal station and stores. When the audio data amount inputted to the first personal station in a unit time period is lower than a threshold and the communications between the first personal station and the second personal station are put in a silence condition, the first personal station transmits non-audio data on times slots to the second personal station. When the communications return to a sound condition, audio data transmission is restored. Whether each time slot carries audio data or non-audio data is designated by an identifier which is written in a predetermined field of each time slot.

The caller personal station of the present invention includes the following units: a channel search unit for scanning the plurality of communication channels to search for an unoccupied channel and regarding the unoccupied channel as a multicast channel; and a simultaneous call unit for repeatedly transmitting a simultaneous call frame on the multicast channel for a first predetermined time period, the simultaneous call frame indicating a simultaneous call to the other personal stations; a multicast unit for transmitting multicast frames on the multicast channel when a second predetermined time period has passed, the multicast frames containing data to be multicast. On receiving the simultaneous call frame by sequentially sensing the plurality of communication channels, the other personal stations enter a receiving state of multicast frames on the multicast channel. The simultaneous call unit includes the following units: a simultaneous call frame generation unit for generating the simultaneous call frame; a transmission timer for counting the first predetermined time period and generating a time-out; and a simultaneous call frame transmission unit for repeatedly transmitting the simultaneous call frame on the multicast channel from a start of counting the predetermined time period until the time-out is generated.
