Abstract:
A method that sends ATM source identification and an ATM-TDM correlation tag from an ATM source gateway to a telephony signaling control network; and then receives at an ATM destination gateway the ATM source identification and the ATM-TDM correlation tag as sent from the telephony signaling control network; and then sends the ATM-TDM correlation tag from the ATM destination gateway to the ATM source gateway to establish a connection between the ATM destination gateway and the ATM source gateway.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for changing the bandwidth or other traffic characteristic of an established packet call in response to an identification of the requirements of the call. In one implementation, an integrated access device (“IAD”) is used to connect one or more devices to a packet network. When a device goes off-hook, a call is established through the packet network with an initial bandwidth, such as that which will support a compressed and silence suppressed voice call. The IAD monitors the received signal to determine whether a type of traffic is detected which requires a different call characterization. A request may be made to modify the traffic characterization of the established call to match the detected call characterization. In an ATM network, Q.9231.x may be used to request a change in the bandwidth of the originally established call.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for changing the bandwidth or other traffic characteristic of an established packet call in response to an identification of the requirements of the call. In response to the detection of a type of call, such as a fax or modem call, ATM signaling is performed with peer signaling agent(s) located in the ATM network to increase the bandwidth of an already established portion of a call through the ATM network. This signaling typically includes sending a call modify request message and receiving a modify acknowledgement message, with these messages typically, but not limited to, conforming with a Q.2963 signaling standard.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described for status enquiry between sending and receiving nodes in a network. For the sending node, the method comprises sending a bulk status enquiry message to inquire status of a plurality of calls to the receiving node. The bulk status enquiry message conforms to a bulk status enquiry format. For the receiving node, the method comprises sending a bulk status enquiry response message in response to a bulk status enquiry message inquiring status of a plurality of calls from the sending network node. The bulk status enquiry message conforms to a bulk status enquiry format and the bulk status enquiry response message conforms to a bulk status enquiry response format.
Abstract:
A method in Field Programmable Gate Array for processing packets received at a media gateway is provided. The method includes ascertaining whether a received packet is a UDP (User Datagram Protocol) packet. The method also includes comparing first portion of UDP destination port number from UDP packet header with first portion with UDP port base that has been set up in media gateway. If a match exist, employing second portion of UDP destination port number as a key to UDP port table to ascertain whether packets associated with media stream ID are to be discarded, and discarding received packet if packet associated with media stream ID is to be discarded. If not, obtaining media processing CPU ID associated with media stream ID, formulating destination MAC address, and updating packet with destination MAC address, thereby enabling packet to be switched to media processing CPU associated with media processing CPU ID.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for switching from a primary network controller to a secondary network controller. A switchover request is received. Messages accepted by the node from the peer nodes are limited. An active link is maintained between the node and peer nodes. Finally, control is transferred from the primary controller to the secondary controller.
Abstract:
A method for performing a handoff for a mobile device from a first radio station to a second radio station. The method includes buffering a first media data set that is received through the first radio station. The method also includes cross-correlating a tail portion of the first media data set and a head portion of a second media data set to generate a cross-correlated media data set, if the second media data set is received through the second radio station. The method further includes synthesizing, using a modeled portion of the first media data set, a synthesized media data set, if no media data is received through the second radio station within a threshold. The method further includes extending the first media data set to generate an extended media data set, if no media data is received through the second radio station at the threshold.
