摘要:
An automatic telephonic antenna mechanism for a radiotelephone handset having a body and a mouthpiece hinged thereto comprises a tubular antenna channel fastened to the body, an antenna plunger slidably installed within a first end of the channel, and a flexible connector slidably installed within a second end of the channel. The flexible connector has a first end connected to the antenna plunger via a dielectric coupler and a second end fastened to the hinged mouthpiece. The mouthpiece is rotatable about the hinge between open and closed positions, whereby movement of the second end of the flexible connector operates to extend and retract the antenna plunger.

A wireless communication system for servicing personal communicators is connected to a a digital switch of a landline telephone network. The communication system includes a plurality of wireless communication base units, each having wireless circuitry enabling it to extract channel and setup information other from nearby wireless communication base units. Each unit measures the RSSI of channels of neighboring wireless communication base units and makes channel assignments to a base unit in response to RSSI measurements being compared to a threshold.

A microcell unit, in a cellular telephone system using digital signal processing BSs, is digitally connected to a macrocell, via a metallic link, such as a twisted pair. The microcell includes a plurality of radio channel units (RCU), to provide voice connectivity to mobile subscribers (MS), which are under control of a radio control complex (RCC) located in the macrocell. Several time slots of the macrocell TDM bus, through which the RCC exerts control of the RCUs, are remoted to the microcell thereby enabling control of the RCUs at the microcell location by the RCC of the macrocell. This remoting action is achieved, via a remote time division multiplex (TDM) circuit pack which enables the RCC to communicate with the RCUs as if they were located within the macrocell.

A method and apparatus for enabling the integration of key components associated with triple play services into an integrated system are disclosed. For example, the method integrates rooftop components for providing the triple play services into an outdoor unit (ODU) and integrates in-house components into a triple play service set top box for providing the triple play services.

Embodiments of the invention include a system and method for providing high quality voice/sound communications over a local loop of a telephone network. The method aspect of the invention comprises receiving a voice signal, digitizing the voice signal into a high quality voice signal, utilizing sampling rates greater than 8000 samples per second and/or sample sizes greater than 8 bits per sample, negotiating voice processing characteristics between a customer premises equipment and a network element such as a softswitch, receiving speech from a user at a customer premises equipment according to the negotiation, converting the received speech into high bandwidth signal and transmitting the high bandwidth signal to a telephone local loop, transmitting the high bandwidth signal from the local loop to wideband node that packetizes the high bandwidth signal for transmission to a packet network and receiving the packetized signal from the packet network at a switch that switches between an on-network or off-network status. A voice over IP platform may also be used to route packetized signals from the packet network to either the telephone network or another packet network.

A method and apparatus for maintaining network connectivity over power lines is disclosed. Such network connectivity is maintained even if various customers are covered by different power line networks or if one or more power lines in a network are unavailable to transmit data. More particularly, in order to bridge a gap in a power line network, one or more messages are extracted from a first node in a power line network and are then transmitted to a second node via free space transmission, illustratively wireless radio frequency (RF) transmission conforming to one or more of the 802.11a, b or g standards. When those messages are received at the second node, the message is injected back into the power line on the other side of a gap in power line coverage. This method of transmission backup will continue until power line connectivity is restore upon which the preferred method will be selected and used.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for providing a voicemail notification to a subscriber or customer in a communication network are disclosed. For example, the present method uses a wireless integrated access device (WIAD) to interact with a voicemail server via the Internet. The WIAD determines whether a newly saved voicemail exists for a customer and then interacts with at least one endpoint device that is located at a customer premise to provide a voicemail notification to the customer if a newly saved voicemail exists for the customer.
