The data can include wireless packet data, wireless non-packet data, wireline packet data, wireline non-packet data, and combinations thereof. The sub-element and/or per-session processing includes at least one of extracting and bundling at least one of voice data, encoding data and signaling data corresponding to one of a plurality of channels or sessions bundled within individual ones of the plurality of data elements.
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of commonly assigned U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/611,221, entitled �MEDIA GATEWAY FOR MULTIPLE WIRELINE AND WIRELESS FORMATS, COMPONENTS THEREOF, AND PROCESSES PERFORMED THEREIN,� filed on Sep. 18, 2004, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
BACKGROUND Telecommunication carriers are increasingly deploying multi-service packages, or bundled services, to customers to provide reduced overall access charges in an attempt to increase customer retention. For example, the boom in digital subscriber line subscriptions has led many carriers to bundle high bandwidth Internet service with traditional voice services. Recent market trends indicate an extensive consumer demand for these bundled services. Numerous cable carriers also provide bundled services in the form of traditional pay cable television services bundled with high bandwidth cable Internet access. Deregulation in the telecommunication industry that is now allowing long distance carriers to compete with local carriers promises to bring additional bundled services to the consumer. Wireless services are also being bundled with numerous combinations of the above-mentioned services. Already, carriers are feeling the strain of successfully upgrading existing infrastructures to meet the high-bandwidth services being demanded by customers.
The present disclosure is generally directed towards aspects of a multimedia session-based switching system, among other aspects. In the context of the present disclosure, the term �session� may reference a real-time, end-to-end communication connection or media path, where such may be established for the duration of an application, and may be independent of transmission media, codec and communication protocols. Such a �session� may include but is not limited to IP network based communications.
The ingress(es) of such a session, through a so-called �session switch,� may support different physical links, layers 2, 3 and 4 protocols, in-band signaling mechanisms and/or codecs from the egress(es) of the same session. The session-based switching may provide necessary conversions of layers 2, 3 and 4 protocols, session headers, in-band signaling, codecs and session payload sizes, and may also provide subsequent switching, but may also provide other media processing functions, such as echo cancellation, announcement insertion, DTMF detection/generation, media bridging and others, all of which may be on per-session basis.
The NP-NI 110 may also perform various analyses and/or manipulation of TDM data or other non-packet data introduced thereto. For example, the NP-NI 110 may perform one or more conventional and/or future-developed error checking processes, in addition to data framing. In some embodiments, such error checking may include parity checking processes, possibly for diagnostic purposes, and/or �ECC� processes, such that at least a percentage of any detected errors may be corrected (e.g., �on-the-fly�) prior to passing the data to the next process, device, or component.
It follows from the above description that, in some embodiments, the DSPs 220 are configured for per-session data element conversion and data element services. For example, the DSPs 220 may be configured to convert data elements between UMTS or other wireless packet formats (among other wireless and wireline packet and non-packet formats) and HDLC, and the DSPs 220 may also be configured to perform echo-cancellation, VQE and other services in addition to the conversion. However, in one embodiment, these and/or other functions may be divided among the DSPs 220, such as where one or more DSP 220 may be dedicated to either data conversion or data services. For example, a �conversion DSP� 220 may be configured substantially to perform data conversion but not data services, and a �services DSP� 220 may be configured substantially to perform data services but not data conversion. In one embodiment, a first DSP 220 may be configured to perform a specific conversion (e.g., between UMTS and HDLC), a second DSP 220 may be configured to perform a different specific conversion (e.g., between VoIP and HDLC), a third DSP 220 may be configured to perform a specific service (e.g., echo-cancellation), and a fourth DSP 220 may be configured to perform a different specific service (e.g., VQE). Of course, these are only examples of the myriad configurations of the DSPs 220 within the scope of the present disclosure.
In some embodiments described herein or otherwise within the scope of the present disclosure, the switching means are �integrated� in the sense that the switching means employ one or more common backplanes, are housed in a common housing or cabinet, and/or are controlled by a single control module. Alternatively, or additionally, the switching means are �integrated� in the sense that the plurality of network interfaces that join the switching means to a plurality of networks are replaceable units (e.g., line-replaceable units) relative to the integrated switching means such that, for example, a non-packet network interface may be removed from a slot or other mechanical interface to the switching means and replaced with a packet network interface without requiring modification of the mechanical interface or the switching means.
