    摘要: An energy based technique to estimate the positions of people speaking from an ad hoc network of microphones. The present technique does not require accurate synchronization of the microphones. In addition, a technique to normalize the gains of the microphones based on people's speech is presented, which allows aggregation of various audio channels from the ad hoc microphone network into a single stream for audio conferencing. The technique is invariant of the speaker's volumes thus making the system easy to deploy in practice.

    摘要: Described is a distributed peer-assisted multicast content delivery system (e.g., a multiparty conferencing application) that uses an adaptive link rate control protocol to discover and adapt to an arbitrary topology quickly and converge to efficient link rate allocations allowed by an underlying network. Link rates are regularly obtained and used to determine trees for sending packets to other nodes. Network coding is used to implement data multicast so that mixtures (i.e., linear combinations) of the packets are transmitted in the network. The redundant packets may be differentiated from non-redundant (“innovative”) packets such that network conditions may be measured by link innovation and/or session innovation.

    摘要: Difficulties associated with choosing advantageous network routes between server and clients are mitigated by a routing system that is devised to use many routing path sets, where respective sets comprise a number of routing paths covering all of the clients, including through other clients. A server may then apportion a data stream among all of the routing path sets. The server may also detect the performance of the computer network while sending the data stream between clients, and may adjust the apportionment of the routing path sets including the route. The clients may also be configured to operate as servers of other data streams, such as in a videoconferencing session, for example, and may be configured to send detected route performance information along with the portions of the various data streams.

    摘要: A “communications rate controller” provides various techniques for maximizing a quality of real-time communications (RTC) (including audio and/or video broadcasts and conferencing) over multi-hop networks such as, for example, the Internet. Endpoints in such networks generally communicate via a segmented path that extends through one or more routers between each endpoint. Maximization of conferencing quality is generally accomplished by providing in-session bandwidth estimation across segments of the network path between endpoints (i.e., communication/conference participants) in combination with a robust non-oscillating dynamic rate control strategy for maximizing usage of available bandwidth between RTC endpoints. Further, the dynamic rate control techniques provided by the communications rate controller are designed to prevent degradation in end-to-end delay, jitter, and packet loss characteristics of the RTC.
