International Classification:

H04M 700

US Classification:

37922108, 379230, 379900

Abstract:

A telecommunications network environment ( ) includes a signaling server ( ) accessible by maintenance interfaces ( ) and network interfaces ( ). The signaling server ( ) includes a signaling link controller ( ) that receives and processes signaling information received from network elements and other signaling servers. The signaling link controller ( ) extracts a data portion of the signaling information for message transfer part level two processing. For additional processing, the data portion of the signaling information may be routed over an Ethernet switch ( ) to another signaling link controller ( ) or to a signaling services controller ( ) for signaling connection control part processing. The signaling services control element ( ) may perform local number portability lookup and global title translation on the received data portion. After processing, the signaling link controller ( ) generates a return message in response to the signaling information.

International Classification:

H04L 12/28
H04L 12/56

US Classification:

370401

Abstract:

Emergency call-routing apparatus, and an associated method, for use in a packet-based, telephonic network. An emergency call router is positioned selectably to provide local call handling functionality to a local network that is normally connected by way of an access gateway to the telephonic network whose operation is normally controlled by a softswitch. The apparatus is used when, e. g. , a total communication link failure condition occurs between the access gateway and the softswitch. The emergency call router selectably routes calls within the local network to permit continued, local calling functionality in spite of the failure of the communication link. High-priority calls, such as calls placed to an emergency dispatch center, are routed within the local network to a designated, local-network station. And local calls are also selectably routed by the emergency call router. A call priority scheme is also used in the event that call capacity is exceeded.

International Classification:

US Classification:

370/359000, 370/474000, 370/503000, 370/535000

Abstract:

In the inbound direction, a tributary processor () includes an SPE encoder/decoder for extracting a synchronous payload envelope (SPE) from an STS-1P signal. A path terminator () may extract DS3 signals or a matrix payload envelope (MPE) from the STS-1P SPE. A DS1/DS3 extractor () generates DS1 signals from either the DS3 or MPE signals. An MPE mapper () creates MPE signals from the DS1 signals. A wideband stage interface () converts the MPE signals into matrix transport format (MTF) signals for cross-connection in a wideband center stage matrix (). In the outbound direction, the wideband stage interface () receives MTF signals from the wideband center stage matrix () and generates MPE signals therefrom. The MPE signals are sent through the MPE mapper () in order to extract DS1 signals. The DS1 signals are converted to DS3 signals or another MPE mapping by the DS1/DS3 extractor (). The path terminator receives DS3 or MPE signals for conversion into an STS-1P SPE. The SPE encoder/decoder creates the STS-1P signals from the STS-1P SPE for transmission to the appropriate interfaced subsystem or network.

US Classification:

370/395100, 370/401000

Abstract:

An integrated multi-rate cross-connect system () includes a broadband subsystem () for processing optical and electrical telecommunication network signals. A wideband subsystem () processes wideband level electrical telecommunication signals from the network, from the broadband subsystem (), and from a narrowband subsystem (). The narrowband subsystem () processes narrowband level electrical telecommunication signals from the network and the wideband subsystem (). An administration subsystem () provides centralized control and synchronization to the broadband subsystem (), the wideband subsystem (), and the narrowband subsystem (). The wideband subsystem () is coupled to the broadband subsystem () and the narrowband subsystem () by internal transmission links () to allow for remote distribution of each subsystem. Each subsystem operates within its own timing island synchronized to a reference timing signal to facilitate component distribution.

International Classification:

H04L 704

US Classification:

375362

Abstract:

A method for determining the change in frequency of a clock signal (168). The method includes the step of counting the number of clock signal cycles (168) that occur over at least two time windows (162, 164). The number of clock signal cycles counted in the first time window (162) is compared to the number of clock signal cycles counted in the second time window (164).

International Classification:

H04J 302
H04J 306
H04L 1256

US Classification:

370 582

Abstract:

A digital switching network for providing simultaneous connections among user processors of processor-based communications equipment. The user processors act as originators and destinations of data communications packets. Packet data connections are through node controllers, which communicate with gateways, which are connected to a switching network via packet links. Control messages are communicated between node controllers, gateways, and an interchange control subsystem via various control message links. All control message processing and packet data transmissions are synchronized with a packet frame synchronization signal, and processing tasks performed by each of the network subsystems are pipelined so that they occur simultaneously. Service requests are queued in a central queue in the interchange control system. The synchronization and queueing simplify the control messages that are required to set up and release the connections.
