Abstract:
Data to be transmitted from an information source (301), associated with a local/wide area network (303), to a target destination (317) is formatted into a plurality of data packets. Based on a message type of the data packets, either a circuit-switched network (311) or a packet-switched network (309) is selected. When the circuit-switched network is chosen, a circuit-switched channel (314) is established to the target destination, and the data packets are transmitted to the target destination via the circuit-switched channel. When the packet-switched network is chosen, a packet-switched channel (313) is established to the target destination, and the data packets are transmitted to the target destination via the packet-switched channel.
Abstract:
A method of the present invention is used for simultaneous transmission and/or reception of multiple different communication resources, with frequency allocations (FA1...FA8) and (FAA...FAH). A radio frequency device (901) of the present invention comprises a transmitter (903) which comprises a modulator (905) and a receiver (907) which comprises a demodulator (909) with frequency and time assignment as shown. Combined frequency and time division multiplexing is used for the transmission, for example, FA1, FA2, FA5, and FA8 are handled using a FDM technique. Frequency allocations FA3 and FA4 are combined into a single TDM resource.
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the need for an apparatus and method for facilitating and performing distributed speech processing in a wireless communication system (100, 200). The present invention encompasses communication infrastructure embodiments (101, 201) that facilitate distributed speech processing by establishing voice and data pathways to support distributed speech processing services. The present invention also encompasses a communication unit (102, 202) that performs distributed voice recognition and distributed speech synthesis via the communication infrastructure (101, 201). The communication unit (102, 202) requests communication services from the communication infrastructure (101, 201) that support both voice and data communication and utilizes a data connection to a distributed speech processing unit (116, 216) to perform distributed voice recognition and distributed speech synthesis.
Abstract:
A wireless communication system (100) employs a method and apparatus for providing information to multiple communication units (121-129). The communication system includes a communication infrastructure (101, 102, 103, 105, 111-113, 120), a data network (107) and an information source (109). The multiple communication units each subscribe to an information service provided by the information source. The communication infrastructure creates a subscription group that includes the multiple communication units. The infrastructure receives subscriber information including at least one information unit from the information source and sets up a point-to-multipoint group call with the subscription group. The infrastructure then transmits the subscriber information to the multiple communication units. Any information unit not confirmed by the multiple communication units is re-transmit by the infrastructure. If any information unit remains unconfirmed after the re-transmission, the infrastructure sets up a point-to-point communication session with individual communication units and re-transmits the remaining unconfirmed information unit.
