    摘要: A method and an apparatus for reducing the jitter and end-to-end delay on lines of a packet switching network conveying voice or video digitalized data for one or more connections between a local source and a remote source at a constant bit rate.The method and apparatus of the invention are for use in a voice or video processor of a voice or video processing server of a network node; the method and the apparatus provide a way of controlling the remote traffic rate from the remote source before accessing the processor without using an external clocking such as the network clock.The solution proposed by the invention consists in buffering the remote and local traffics to adapt the remote traffic rate to the local traffic rate, which is supposed having a limited jitter, while sequencing of the access of the buffered data to the processor.

    摘要: A communication system and method for compressing data in a transmission system wherein multiplexed channels are transported over a transmission network of the type comprising a plurality of switching nodes interconnected by connection lines, the exchange of data signals carried out by switching the channels in the network between two exchange telephone devices, and each of the multiplexed channels transporting data bytes representing the data signals from one source exchange telephone device to one destination exchange device during an exchange of information therebetween through the intermediary of a compression/decompression device. The method comprises the steps of comparing, for each multiplexed channel, the signal value associated to each one of a plurality of “n” consecutive data bytes to a predetermined threshold; deleting, in case said signal value for all said “n” data bytes is less than the predetermined threshold, all bits which are not necessary to represent the signal value from each of the “n” data bytes; building a compression frame by concatenating either the “n” data bytes when they are not modified or the “n” modified data bytes when bits have been deleted therefrom, and adding to each of said groups an identifier indicating whether said data bytes are modified or not before transmitting said compression frame over said transmission network. Decompressing the frame by determining the identifier value indicating the composition of the bytes; removing the identifier from the bytes; loading the bytes into a buffer and transmitting the bytes to a destination exchange telephone device.

    摘要: A method dynamically changes the bit rate or bandwidth of constant bit rate data structures in an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) communications environment. The method defines within a data channel a Change indicator (CI) indicative of an end user's request for a bit rate change within said data structures. The Change Indicator is continuously transmitted from a source side to a destination side in the ATM environment, along with the data structures on said data channel. Upon receipt at the destination side of a user's request of a bit rate change, the destination side modifies the value of said Change Indicator. The source side, acknowledges the modification of the value of the Change Indicator, whereby the transmission of data structures continues on the data channel with a new constant bit rate.

    摘要: Repetitive packets in a voice/data stream, are detected and suppressed in the transmitting side of a network, after a predefined number of consecutive repetitive packets have been transmitted. Then, at the receiving side of the network, suppressed repetitive packets are reconstituted by filling the resulting gap in the voice/data stream with the repetitive pattern contained in the last received repetitive packet. When the input voice/data stream is compressed, only non-repetitive packets are compressed so that repetitive patterns are not corrupted by compression.

    摘要: A method and an apparatus for removing the silence from the digitalized voice signals conveyed through packets or cells switching networks. The silence samples are neither packetized nor sent over the network but are regenerated at the output of the network. The silence samples generated are white noise samples, where the level is adapted to the background noise of the silence samples received at the input node of the network. For long periods of silence, the white noise level is periodically refreshed to be adapted to the last silence samples received at the input node of the network. The method provides also a control of packet or cell loss. The method uses are not control packets; in the later case, it can be used for ATM networks with AAL1. The method is implemented as a program executed in a Digital Signal Processor located on adapter cards dedicated to voice processing in the network access nodes.
