Abstract:
The present invention relates to a communication system architecture which can perform integrated processing of different network protocols and multimedia traffics. The communication system for integrated processing of different network protocols and multimedia traffics comprises a common packet; a common packet switch; a plurality of channels; a common bus; a common protocol platform; an external network protocol converter; and an internal network protocol converter. Thus, the present invention can process traffics rapidly embodied by mean of hardware, and easily perform various QoS, traffic control, and so on by designing a unified common platform with an open architecture. In addition, the present invention can be used for digital consumer devices in building networks and home networks or various digital appliances classified as Internet information appliances, and for control systems such as a home gateway, a home server, an STB, a home station and so on.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a common address usable in a protocol for internal and external networks in home networking or a common protocol for data communications between various protocols and an address table for address conversion between a common address and a physical address. A common address structure according to the present invention comprises a domain address, a cluster address; a device use address, a device type address, a device ID, and a reserved field. Accordingly, the present invention can enhance compatibility between network protocols and enable communication of different networks with each other using only application programs without address conversion between existing protocol layers. In addition, the present invention can identify whether devices in different networks are working and a new device is registered, identify types of protocols and devices used, and support rapid mapping between a physical address and a common address.
Abstract:
The present invention provides common protocol architecture and methods for transmitting data between different network protocols and a common protocol packet. The common protocol architecture comprises an application layer; a common protocol layer positioned under the application layer, the common protocol layer enabling data communications between the different protocols; a presentation layer positioned under the common protocol layer; a session layer positioned under the presentation layer; a transport layer positioned under the session layer; a network layer positioned under the transport layer; a data link layer positioned under the network layer; and a physical layer positioned under the data link layer. The common protocol packet comprises a common protocol header with information about a packet and a payload with the contents of data. By designing the common protocol layer and the common protocol packet accepting various protocols simultaneously, the present invention can improve compatibility between different protocols.
