Abstract:

A client system includes a processor configured to obtain multicast information for a content item, the multicast information including information about a multicast session for a base stream and additional multicast sessions for available incremental streams. The processor is also configured to determine an available bandwidth, and to join a set of initial multicast sessions based on the available bandwidth, the set of initial multicast sessions including the multicast session for the base stream and at least one of the additional multicast sessions for the incremental streams. The processor is also configured to monitor a network condition, and to perform an action based on the network condition, the action selected from the group consisting of joining another of the additional multicast sessions, leaving one of the initial multicast sessions, and a combination thereof.

International Classification:

H04M 1100

US Classification:

179 2DP

Abstract:

The subject telephone switching provides for the redirection of established data calls to remotely located digital terminals and the reservation of these digital terminals at the time a data call is originated. In particular, a user can originate a data call from a telephone station set, reserve a selected digital terminal which may or may not be colocated with the telephone station set, and at some point in the call, transfer the established data call to the selected digital terminal by operating a data button on the calling telephone station set.

Inventors:

John H. Zink - Manalapan NJ

Assignee:

AT&T Information Systems Inc. - Holmdel NJ

International Classification:

H04M 1100

US Classification:

179 2DP

Abstract:

This data call transfer arrangement enables a calling party to originate a data call from a telephone station set and then transfer the data call to one of a number of predefined digital terminals. This is accomplished by operating the DATA button on the telephone station set corresponding to the selected digital terminal once the data call is established. This action causes the subject telephone switching system to replace the telephone station set on the call appearance with the selected digital terminal.
