Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

G06F 1516

US Classification:

709246, 717 8

Abstract:

A system includes a compiler component that employs a declarative notation, for a description, that describes one or more fields of a network packet. The compiler component employs a declarative notation, for the description, that describes one or more constraints for at least one field of the one or more fields. The description is of a portion of the network packet. A representation based on the description is employable for recognition of the portion of the network packet at a network interface.

International Classification:

H04Q007/20

US Classification:

455445, 455442, 4555542

Abstract:

A method for allowing a mobile of a wireless communication simultaneous access to multiple data networks coupled to the wireless communication network. A network interface is created between network controlling elements, such as Base Station Controllers, of the wireless communication network. The network interface allows various communication channels established by the mobile to be routed to network controlling elements that are coupled to the various data networks. Information from various established communication channels are routed between various network controlling elements. Thus, a mobile is able to communicate simultaneously with different data networks. The network interface also allows handoffs to be executed with virtually no interruptions and no loss of information being exchanged between the mobile and system equipment involved in the handoff.

Appl. No.:

10/334080

Inventors:

Thomas Lloyd Hiller - Glen Ellyn IL, US

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04L 12/38

US Classification:

370263, 370386, 375133

Abstract:

Voice packets transmitted by an originating wireless user for use in a half-duplex communication mode in a one to many communication session are monitored for an unexpected cessation. If an unexpected cessation of such voice packets is detected for a predetermined time period, the session server controlling the communications session is notified to release the supporting half-duplex communication paths associated with the originating user.

International Classification:

H04K 1/00

US Classification:

713185

Abstract:

Cryptography is used to generate a token that both authorizes request processing and establishes constraints on that authorization. A mobile communications device user or client subscribes to an information service of a content provider. A description of the subscribed service is generated. The client applies a digital signature to the description and optionally encrypts the signed description. A token is generated based on the signed description. The content provider presents the token to the request processing entity of a mobile service provider in order to establish trust between the content provider and the request processing entity. The request processing entity decrypts the token and verifies the signature of the client. The request of the content provider is validated through a comparison of the request with the constraints indicated in the decrypted token. Valid requests are processed.

Abstract:

An apparatus in one example may have a functionality of a policy decision function divided into two parts; one part representing a home network application function and the other part representing visited network bearer resources and local policies. The one part of the policy decision function supports communications with the application function, and represents the home network and application in a request for QoS control to the visited network. The other part of the policy decision function supports visited network interactions with a policy enforcement function, and represents visited network local policy related to resource utilization and roaming agreement-based policy.

International Classification:

G06F 11/00
G10L 19/00

US Classification:

370236, 704221

Abstract:

An isochronous telecommunication stream comprises a plurality of frames encoded by a variable rate isochronous coder-decoder (codec) at a plurality of code rates of multiple available code rates. A control component removes one or more encoded frames from the plurality of frames of the isochronous telecommunication stream based on one or more code rates of the one or more encoded frames to create a non-isochronous telecommunication stream.

International Classification:

H04L 12/66

US Classification:

370352, 370331, 455439

Abstract:

A method is provided for controlling communications to and from an access terminal during a hand off period. A smart packet filter is used to identify a packet flow, apply a first treatment to a packet flow based on its destination, and transmit the first treated packet flow along a first route to the access terminal. During a hand off, the packet stream is duplicated, a second treatment is applied to the packet flow and the second treated duplicate packet flow is transmitted to the access terminal via a second route.

US Classification:

370352, 370389, 37039521, 370401

Abstract:

An exemplary method controls features and services implemented by nodes in a first communication network where nodes in a second network are not adapted to provide such control or services. A first signaling message is sent by a device in response to receipt by a recipient in the first network of a packet transmitted from an originator in another network that does not support the control and services of the first network. The first signaling message is received at a first perimeter node of the first network that in response sends second signaling messages to the other perimeter nodes. Upon the determination of the occurrence of an event by a second perimeter node, a third signaling message is sent from the second perimeter node to the recipient so that it traverses intermediate nodes in the first network utilized for carrying packets from the originator to the recipient. The third signaling message contains control information defining a service feature to be controlled by the intermediate nodes.
