Patent ID: 11005715

Abstract:
A telecommunication system can include routing devices, a bearer-management device, and a policy-management device. The bearer-management device can receive a request from a terminal to create a specialized bearer (SB) for a non-audio, non-video media type. The bearer-management device can determine that the request is associated with an authorized user, and then send a setup message comprising a Quality of Service (QoS) indicator to the policy-management device. The policy-management device can create the SB permitting data exchange between the terminal and a routing device. The SB can have QoS characteristics associated with the QoS indicator. In some examples, the terminal can receive a network address, determine an associated network port, and send a SIP INVITE message indicating the non-audio, non-video media type. The terminal can then exchange data on the network port with a peer network terminal.
