Title: Storing voice messages in packet form in a VoIP voice mail box
Inventor: KIM JUNG-GI
IPC: H04M7/00
Filed: 2005-01-19
Abstract: A voice messaging service in a VoIP system performs a messaging service for an IP terminal 10 in the VoIP communication system including the IP terminal; an IP controller integrates a VoIP voice mail box function using VoIP technology to provide a voice messaging service to a user of the IP terminal via an IP network. The IP controller function and the voice messaging system function are contained in one piece of equipment, and thus, when a receiving terminal is on the line or does not answer, a system call process status is immediately provided via voice guidance without a separate voice reproducing apparatus, thereby providing a convenient additional service to a terminal user. Voice messages are recorded in packet form and may be transmitted a receiving terminal via an IP network in Realtime Transport Protocol (RTP) packet form.

Title: Trading system order book and order matching system
Inventor: BROWN HUGH
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2005-05-25
Abstract: A trading system provides a combined order book.

Title: High speed downlink packet access communication in a cellular communication system
Inventor: BARRETT STEPHEN
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 2006-04-27
Abstract: A cellular communication system supports High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) services. A first transceiver (201) transmits HSDPA downlink packet data in a first cell and a second transceiver (203) transmits HSDPA downlink packet data in a second cell. A cell overlap processor (205) can determine that a remote station (101) is in a cell overlap region between the first cell and the second cell. A macro-diversity controller (207) causes the first transceiver (201) to transmit first HSDPA data to the remote station (101) as a first signal in the first cell and the second transceiver (203) to transmit the first HSDPA data to the remote station (101) as a second signal in the second cell. The first and second signals are macro-diversity signals. The remote station (101) comprises a macro-diversity combiner (303) which receives the first downlink HSDPA packet data by combining the first signal and the second signal. The invention may allow improved support of HSDPA services in cell overlap areas.
