US Patent:

7894422, Feb 22, 2011

Filed:

Feb 7, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/027806

Inventors:

Albert Daniel DuRee - Independence MO, US
Joseph Michael Christie - San Bruno CA, US
Mark Sucharczuk - Mountain View CA, US

Assignee:

Sprint Communications Company L.P. - Overland Park KS

International Classification:

H04L 12/66

US Classification:

370352, 370465

Abstract:

A communication processing system handles a plurality of calls. On a call-by-call basis for each of the calls, the system receives a control message indicating a route identifier for the call, receives a voice band communication for the call, and determines if the voice band communication should be compressed. If the voice band communication should be compressed, the system compresses the voice band communication, adds the route identifier from the control message to the compressed voice band communication, and transfers the compressed voice band communication with the route identifier. If the voice band communication should be not compressed, the system adds the route identifier from the control message to the voice band communication and transfers the voice band communication with the route identifier.

International Classification:

H04L012/28

US Classification:

370/466000, 370/401000

Abstract:

The invention is a system for modifying the VPI/VCIs in ATM cells transferred between two ATM systems on a call-by-call basis. A signaling processor receives signaling for the call and selects a new VPI/VCI for the call. The signaling processor generates a control message that identifies the old and new VPI/VCIs and transfers the control message to an ATM gateway. The ATM gateway modifies the old VPI/VCI in the ATM cells to the new VPI/VCI.

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370401000

Abstract:

A communication system receives a signaling message for a voice communication and processes the signaling message to select a route identifier. The system selects a processing technique for the voice communication, such as compression or encryption. The system processes the voice communication with the selected processing technique. The system adds the selected route identifier to the voice communication. The system adds a processing indicator to the voice communication. The system transfers the voice communication with the route identifier and the processing indicator.
