摘要:
Text is interleaved and transported along with media data over the same real-time Internet Protocol (IP) media transport session. A network processing device identifies text characters corresponding with text signaling. The identified text characters are formatted into text packets and sent over the same real-time IP media transport session used for real-time media transport. The media transport session can identify the sequence that the text characters are transmitted and can specify a maximum character transfer rate.

A network device is disclosed. The network device includes a port to allow the device to communicate on a full bandwidth channel, a main processor to control reception and transmission of data and a compressor. The compressor identifies repeated fixed sequences in the data, and replaces repeated fixed sequences with an identifier sequence, a count of repetitions and the fixed sequence. The network device may have a decompressor instead of, or in addition to, the compressor that can decompress received data that is compressed.

A network device and a method for its operation are disclosed. The network device has a first interface to a client device to allow reception of client device signals and a second interface to a packet network to allow transmission and reception of modem relay signals. A processor translates between modem relay signals received or transmitted on the second interface and client device signals received or transmitted on the first interface. In one implementation the modem relay originator and the client device are collapsed into one device and the first interface is implemented as a virtual interface.

A method and system for connecting V.34 enabled fax machines (that is fax machines capable of operating at 33,600 bps) over network gateways that use the un-enhanced T.38 protocol, that is, gateways that have not been upgraded to handle the V.34 33,600 bps protocol in fax relay mode. When a gateway detects a V.8 protocol signal, the signal is modified so that the fax machines fall back to non V.34 protocol and operate at a slower speed which the un-enhanced T.38 gateway is capable of handling.
摘要:
A modem data aggregating gateway that supports modem relay functionality for permitting reliable switching of modem traffic between a VoIP network and a data packet switch Internet Protocol (IP) network, s.a. the Internet. The modem relay aggregator may receive modem data encapsulated as Voice over IP (VoIP) data packets in accordance with a Simple Reliable Protocol Transport (SRPT) mechanism. The packet data may be error corrected and/or decompressed before being repackaged for forwarding to the ultimate destination. In the event that the destination is itself an IP device, the modem relay aggregator may forward the packets directly over the IP network. As a result, if the destination of a modem call is an IP device (such as a Web site or other Internet-enabled device) the technique eliminates two points from a processing path in which digital signal processing (DSPs) would otherwise have to perform modem protocol processing. Otherwise, minimal modem reformatting can be performed at the aggregation point.

In one embodiment, one or more gateways sniff the voice channel during the voice mode. If it is determined that V.8bis signals are being initiated, then the gateway breaks these exchanges by suppressing such signaling. Modem relay communications then are allowed to proceed. Briefly, the method and apparatus involve monitoring a call during a voice mode phase for an initiating signal representative of the defined signaling, the monitoring being performed by a local gateway and, if such an initiating signal is detected during the monitoring, then suppressing such detected signaling in such manner that the signaling does not reach the remote gateway. Preferably, the monitoring is for an initiating signal characterized by a dual tone of defined frequency and duration of approximately 1375 Hz and 2002 Hz for a duration of approximately 400 ms or 285 ms, in agreement with the ITU-T Recommendation V.8bis (standard) adopted by the International Telecommunication Union. Monitoring is continued at least until an answer back from an answering station is received by the gateway. When the suppression succeeds and the remote (non-initiating gateway that may be awaiting such an initiating signal halts any further V.8bis transaction attempts, the local gateway initiates a modem relay session of operation with the remote gateway.
摘要:
An improved method and system for connecting Super Group 3 fax machines over network gateways that operate using the un-enhanced T.38 protocol. With the present invention, the CM tone is suppressed. Thus a gateway that generates an AnsAm tone, will not receive a CM tone in response. The T.38 protocol does not specify what occurs if a CM tone is not received; however, it has been found that, in practice, existing fax machines fall back to V.21 mode if a CM tone is not received.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for synchronizing two de/compression modems, e.g. V.42bis modems, in a voice frame network, the modems each being connected with a corresponding gateway to form a corresponding segment, are described. The method includes terminating the physical layer at either end of the corresponding gateways; negotiating at either gateway a physical layer and error-correcting data link layer with the corresponding modem; sending from either gateway to an associated modem in response to any poll command therefrom a not-ready message; signaling the other gateway when physical layer and error-correcting data link layer negotiations have been completed; and when each gateway has signaled the other that negotiations have been completed, halting the not-ready message-sending and sending instead a ready message to a corresponding modem, whereby synchronized compressed and decompressed data transmissions between the modems commences on a reliable transport. Preferably, thereafter, and upon occurrence of a destructive break condition or receipt at either gateway from a corresponding modem of an initiate data transfer command, such condition or receipt is relayed from a segment where it is detected to the other segment, thereby maintaining synchronization between the modems. Preferably, the messages and commands are compliant with the ITU-T V.42 protocol.
摘要:
In a gateway router the length of the play-out buffer in VBD mode is not set at a previously established value. Instead the length of the play-out buffer in VBD mode is determined by the length of the buffer in the previous audio mode. When the system switches from audio mode to VDB mode, the length of the play-out buffer in audio mode is noted. The length of the play-out buffer in VBD mode is then set equal to its length in the prior audio mode plus a dilation factor. An audio concealment algorithm (which fills in gaps caused by missed packets) is used during the transition from audio to VDB to conceal any transition glitch during the answer tone.
摘要:
A two stage compression sub-system for clear channel data. The front stage of the compressing sub-system is an octet based repeat compressor (for example a flag compressor). The second stage is dictionary based compressor (for example Lempel-Ziv (LZ) or Huffmann). Data is compressed using several different techniques, and the technique that provides the best compression is used for each particular packet. For example, each packet can be: a) compress through both compression stages. b) compress through front stage flag compressor only c) compress through back stage dictionary compressor only d) not compressed through either stage (for highly incompressible data) After compression, each packet is provided with a header which specifies the exact method used to compress that packet. At the decoder, the packet header is interrogated to determine how the packet should be de-compressed and the appropriate de-compression is then used.
