Abstract: In recent years, the telecommunications industry has witnessed the proliferation of a variety of digital vocoders in order to meet bandwidth demands of different wireline and wireless communication systems. The rapid growth in the diversity of networks and the number of users of such networks is increasing the number of instances where two vocoders are placed in tandem to serve a single connection. Such arrangements of low bit-rate codecs can degrade the quality of the transmitted speech. To overcome this problem the invention provides a novel method and an apparatus for transmitting digitized voice signals in the wireless communications environment. The apparatus is capable of converting a compressed speech signal from one format to another format via an intermediate common format, thus avoiding the necessity to successively de-compress voice data to a PCM type digitization and then recompress the voice data.

Abstract: Multi-media networks will require that a data flow be given certain quality-of-service (QOS) for a network connection but pre-negotiation of this sort is foreign to the current data networking model. The real time traffic flow in the data network requires distinct limits on the tolerance to delay, and the variations in that delay. Interactive voice and video demand that the total delay does not exceed the threshold beyond which human interaction is unacceptably impaired. The present invention allows the network to discover the nature of the service for each traffic flow, classifies it dynamically, and exercises traffic conditioning by means of such techniques as admission control and scheduling when delivering the traffic downstream to support the service appropriately.

Abstract translation: 多媒体网络将要求为网络连接提供一定数量的服务质量（QOS），但是这种类型的预先协商对于当前的数据网络模型来说是外在的。 数据网络中的实时流量需要对延迟容限以及该延迟的变化有明显的限制。 交互式语音和视频要求总延迟不超过人为交互不可接受的障碍。 本发明允许网络发现每个业务流的业务性质，对其进行动态分类，并在下行传输业务时适当地支持业务，借助于接纳控制和调度等技术来进行业务调节。

Abstract: The invention provides a method and a system for selectively delivering information to callers in an AIN environment. In accordance with the method the service switching point to which is connected the terminal equipment of the caller monitors the condition of the telephone line to detect an AIN trigger, such as an off-hook event among other possibilities. When such event occurs, the service switch point formulates a message query. The query is routed to a service control point via one or more service transfer points, that holds knowledge of the service subscribed by the caller and the information to be displayed for this service. The service control point analyzes the request and assembles the appropriate response. That response is then returned to the service switch point that formats it properly and delivers it to the terminal equipment of the caller. In one embodiment the information delivery is effected during call establishment. In a variant, information is delivered while no call is being attempted.

Abstract: A robust method for determining the boundaries of cells and the associated reliability of the RF coverage within these boundaries is presented. The invention accurately determines the average range from the base station to the cell edge from RF signal strength measurements with a linear regression approach. The accuracy of this estimate is quantified both as a range uncertainty (e.g. +/- 100 meters) and as a cell coverage reliability (i.e. area/edge) through 1) simulation, 2) analysis of real data, and 3) theoretical analysis. It is shown that if the estimate of the cell radius meets the desired accuracy, then the corresponding estimates of coverage reliability (both area and edge) are more than sufficiently accurate. It is recommended that radio survey analyses incorporate this test as part of the coverage validation process.

Abstract: A fixed wireless access system comprising a base station for bidirectional communication with a switching center, a private branch exchange (PBX) for establishing bidirectional communication with a plurality (K) of user stations, and a wireless trunk interface (WTI) for bidirectional wireless communication with the base station over an air interface and for bidirectional communication with the PBX over a trunk line is disclosed. The invention also proposes to deliver the station directory number (DN) over the fast associated control channel (FACCH) or the slow associated control channel (SACCH) of the IS-54B air interface. This is achieved using DTMF signalling or by providing a new set of messages in the extended protocol (EP) capability of the IS-54B air interface.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for maintaining records in a telephone directory involves maintaining a personal directory of at least one record associated with at least one party with which a telephone call is conducted. The record has a field for identifying the party and a frequency of use field for storing a number representing the number of times a call is conducted with the party. In response to a call conducted with a party, the personal directory is searched for a record associated with the party and upon finding such a record, the contents of the frequency of use field of the record are incremented and the records of the personal directory are sorted in an order dependent upon the contents of the frequency of use fields.
