20100061249 | Distributed resource management for multi-service, multi-access broadband networks - A qualification and monitoring function ( | 03-11-2010 |
20100061364 | Home Gateway Device for Providing Multiple Services to Customer Devices - A telecommunication node such as a home gateway and a method of routing data packets received from customer premises devices connected to the node. The node includes an operator-configurable service profile table for storing service profiles and a user-configurable customer devices table for storing the source addresses of the customer premises devices and associations between each source address and at least one of the service profiles. The operator controls service provisioning while the user can freely allocate the customer premises devices to different service profiles and can access a plurality of services from the same device. | 03-11-2010 |
20100177773 | Media Transport Protocol Selection - A method of operating a network node to distribute media across an IP network. The method comprises, at the network node, selecting one of a multicast and peer-to-peer ingress interface and receiving media packets at the interface. For each media packet received at the node, the method comprises determining from information conveyed in the packet or associated packets whether that packet can be cached at the node and caching the packet if permitted. At the node, one of a unicast and peer-to-peer egress interface is selected and packets forwarded to one or more further nodes over that interface. | 07-15-2010 |
20110119724 | Proxy Functionality - The present invention relates to methods and arrangement for an IPTV Set Top Box to access content from an external domain outside the IPTV service provider's domain, which method is characterized by steps of retrieving and converting required content from the external domain into a format that is accessible via the IPTV Set Top Box. | 05-19-2011 |
20110286337 | Topological Location Discovery in an Ethernet Network - A topology aware entity, such as an OSS (Operations Support System), an NMS (Network Management System) or an RM (Resource Manager), associated with an Ethernet network is configured to execute a method for topological location discovery of nodes that are added to the network. According to the method, the topology aware entity receives (step | 11-24-2011 |
20110299529 | Multicast Interworking Systems and Methods - Systems and methods according to these exemplary embodiments provide for methods and systems for interworking between an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and a MAC address Multiple Registration Protocol (MMRP). For example, an IGMP join or leave message which is received at node ( | 12-08-2011 |
20130103850 | Media Transport Protocol Selection - A client terminal and method for receiving Internet Protocol (IP) media packets over an IP distribution network. The client terminal includes a plurality of interfaces to the IP distribution network, the interfaces configured to receive media packets according to multicast, unicast, and peer-to-peer media distribution protocols. A media cache controller determines whether the media packets received over the interfaces are tagged as non-cacheable. If so, the media cache controller passes the media packets to a decoder for decoding and transmission to a video renderer. When the received media packets are not tagged as non-cacheable, the media cache controller caches the media packets in a local cache, and subsequently distributes the cached media packets to another client terminal or to a caching node using the unicast or the peer-to-peer media distribution protocol. Media packets received using one media distribution protocol may be distributed using a different media distribution protocol. | 04-25-2013 |
20150124811 | MULTICAST INTERWORKING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Systems and methods according to these exemplary embodiments provide for methods and systems for interworking between an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and a MAC address Multiple Registration Protocol (MMRP). For example, an IGMP join or leave message which is received at node is translated into an equivalent MMRP message for forwarding into an MMRP portion of a network. | 05-07-2015 |
