Title: Establishing a communication session over a channel with token-based access to shared ports
Inventor: BRAUDES ROBERT E
IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2013-05-13
Abstract: A communication system 100 for establishing a communication environment where multiple media applications 110 can share the same communication channel in a session. When establishing a communication session, an application/media application can create a token that can include information regarding resources assigned to or to be used with the communication session. The token may then be used and interpreted by other applications. When communicating during a communication session, the applications and/or components negotiate for access to ports or communication channels assigned to the communication session. Thus, two or more applications may use the same port(s) during the session by obtaining the token and accessing the resources assigned to the token. In this way, fewer ports or channels are used by the multiple applications by sharing resources. The token may be a header in a SIP INVITE message. The method provided includes sharing a channel during a session wherein: a first feature sequencer 106a receives a request from a first endpoint 102a to establish communication with a second endpoint 102b; the first feature sequencer sends the request to a first application 110a, wherein the first application is in-sequence; the first application communicates with a media server 112 to establish a control channel for the session; the first application creates a token; and sends it to the first feature sequencer; the first feature sequencer sends an INVITE for the session, including the token, to the second endpoint; the second endpoint sends an acceptance of the INVITE to the first feature sequencer, which is relayed to the first endpoint to establish the session and further wherein the first application negotiates with the media server for resources listed in the token during the session.

Title: Method of shaping the spectrum of an input bitstream
Inventor: ACHIR MOUNIR
IPC: H04L25/49
Filed: 2014-02-27
Abstract: An input bitstream is split 305 between several line-encoders arranged in parallel 302 for simultaneous encoding of respective parts of the bitstream. The respective line-coded blocks are then multiplexed to obtain a spectrum-shaped output signal (figure 3b). The line-coded blocks may have null power at the null/zero frequency and/or at the Nyquist frequency. The coding may be performed according to minimum bandwidth line codes, e.g. MB12, MB24, MB34. The multiplexing may comprise interleaving bits from the encoded blocks. An appropriate number of parallel encoders may be selected to achieve a bit error rate (figure 7). Embodiments provide a scheme for shaping the spectrum of a bitstream to be transmitted to match a channel transfer function of a communication medium (figure 9). A corresponding receiver/decoder arrangement is also disclosed. Information identifying the respective parts of the input bitstream and the scheme used for coding the parts may also be transmitted.
