摘要： Soft-labeled keys (SLKs) of a wireless terminal or other type of terminal in a communication system are controlled in an efficient manner using a state-based control model. In an illustrative embodiment, a state machine is generated such that each state in the state machine specifies a set of labels for a corresponding set of soft-labeled keys associated with the wireless terminal. At least a portion of the state machine is downloaded from a switch of the system, and processed to generate a display including a given one of the sets of labels. The state machine may be in the form of a state transition table which includes, for each state, (i) a set of labels for the set of soft-labeled keys, (ii) a set of feature identifiers, e.g., system codes, each identifying, for a given one of the labels, a particular feature supported by the switch, and (iii) a next state which is entered when the corresponding soft-labeled key is selected by the user. After a given one of the soft-labeled keys is selected by a user, the corresponding feature identifier is transmitted from the wireless terminal to the switch. The state transition table may also support a local mode in which selecting a particular SLK in a given state causes the terminal to execute a specified local program, after which the terminal returns to the given state. Updating of the display may be controlled locally by the wireless terminal, or by the switch sending an indication of the next state to the wireless terminal.

摘要： A wireless terminal or other type of terminal in a communication system is controlled in a bandwidth-efficient manner using commands associated with a terminal protocol supported by a switch of the system. In an illustrative embodiment, a set of command symbols are generated by: (i) resizing a command space associated with a wired terminal protocol to obtain a reduced command space suitable for use with a wireless terminal; (ii) generating a representation in which a first portion of the reduced command space is correlated with a second portion of the reduced command space; and (iii) assigning command symbols to valid entries in the representation, such that a given one of the command symbols uniquely identifies a particular combination of commands in the reduced command space. The switch transmits a given command symbol to the wireless terminal, and the wireless terminal decodes the symbol and executes the corresponding commands specified by the symbol. Since the command symbols can be represented using significantly fewer bits than would otherwise be required using the complete wired terminal protocol, the invention allows the switch to control the wireless terminal in a bandwidth-efficient manner, while still providing substantially the full functionality of the wired terminal protocol at the wireless terminal.

摘要： A logical star architecture imposed on an underlying non-star network, for example a Virtual Path Ring (VPR), enhances a mesh protocol with an automatic method for Virtual Path ID (VPI) generation. The VPIs are used by the mesh protocol's inherent routing function to effect automatic configuration at installation, automatic reconfiguration at node updates, and automatic reconfiguration for protection switching. The imposition of the logical star architecture on a VPR reduces node-to-node switching costs (e.g., delay, as well as memory and processing costs) since all nodes in a logical star topology are at most two logical hops away. The logical star also conserves virtual path address space relative to a fully configured ring. Additionally, the imposition of the logical star architecture allows existing star functions to be deployed on the underlying network. Finally, when the underlying architecture is a ring, the protection advantages of ring networks can be preserved.

摘要： A packet-based communication system includes a transmitter which configures multiple channels of encoded voice information for transmission through the system to a receiver. In an illustrative embodiment, the transmitter determines a total number of active channels to be coded at each of a number of different available code rates, within a specified bandwidth constraint. The transmitter assigns the code rates to the active channels in accordance with a code rate assignment technique, such that the bandwidth constraint is satisfied for a defined time period, e.g., a voice channel sample period. The code rate assignment technique may be, e.g., a random rate assignment technique, a round robin rate assignment technique, or an oldest talking channel to lowest rate assignment technique. The transmitter generates packets for a given one of the active channels, encoded at a corresponding assigned code rate, such that a time period between consecutive packets generated for that channel is substantially constant for the duration of a voice call associated therewith.

摘要： Full channel service is obtained over a modified ISDN BRI interface by emulating at least one central office (CO) station terminal which provides access to a voice channel over a single DSL for user station terminals whether or not they are ISDN BRI compatible. To this end, an interface is provided for the DSL that emulates an ISDN BRI CO station terminal and acts like a facility to station terminals. More specifically, a plurality of CO station terminals are emulated on a single multi-point passive bus terminating the single DSL. Each of the emulated CO station terminals presents to the CO switching office the appearance of being a CO station terminal. The emulated CO station terminals are configured such that CO features are accessible. Information from the emulated CO station terminals is mapped into existing system structures where such structures are available and compatible with the information from the emulated terminal. New structures have been created so that CO supplementary services can be invoked by the emulated CO station terminals.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for allocating a system resource in a communication system having an interconnected set of modules and for which the system resource is allocated among the modules are disclosed. The interconnected set of modules may be a multi-shelf daisy-chained DSL access multiplexer (DSLAM), with each of the modules corresponding to a particular shelf of the DSLAM. The system resource is initially allocated among the modules in accordance with a predetermined allocation, e.g., a reserve pool is established with a first portion of the system resource and the remaining portion of the system resource is equally divided among the interconnected modules. The allocation of the system resource is then periodically updated based at least in part on measured characteristics of at least a subset of the modules, the measured characteristics being indicative of utilization of the initial allocation. For example, utilization history data or requests for additional resource allocation may be measured and used in the periodic updating. In the daisy-chained DSLAM implementation, each of the shelves of the DSLAM may have associated therewith a resource measurement and management system (RMMS) element that processes information relating to the initial allocation and the periodic updates.

摘要： A feature presentation order for a feature browser display of a communication system terminal is controlled in accordance with user-specific feature utilization history information. The utilization history information may include a set of utilization counters for each of a number of features supported by the system, and the presentation order may be determined by sorting the utilization values of the corresponding features in an increasing or decreasing order. Advantageously, the invention allows different user-specific utilization-based feature presentation orders to be provided to different users of the system.

摘要： Feature access control is provided for soft-labeled keys (SLKs) of a wireless terminal or other type of terminal in a communication system. In an illustrative embodiment, a different set of SLK label identifiers are associated in a control table with each state in a set of states of the terminal. Each of the label identifiers specifies a label to be associated with a given one of the SLKs in a given one of the states. The label identifiers are used as pointers into a label table which specifies, for each of the label identifiers, a corresponding label for one of the SLKs. The control table and label table together implement a bidirectional mapping between single switch-based features and corresponding multiple state-based appearances of those features on the terminal. The control table and label table may be downloaded into the terminal from a switch of the system. The SLK labels of the terminal may be updated by, e.g., transmitting to the terminal a state identifier, an identifier of a most-recently activated feature, and a presentation attribute for that feature.

摘要： A communication system enables a system controller to allocate to a first system endpoint (e.g., application processor) control over one or more components of a second system endpoint (e.g., terminal). In response to a valid control request signal received from the first endpoint identifying one or more components at the second endpoint over which control is requested, the controller sends an acknowledgment signal to the first endpoint indicating that control over the identified component(s) has been allocated to the first endpoint. In response to the acknowledgment signal, an endpoint interface enables the first endpoint to directly communicate with the second endpoint using a first endpoint originated control signal which simulates a controller originated control signal for controlling the identified components at the second endpoint. The controller then inhibits itself from controlling the identified component(s) at the second endpoint during the time when the first endpoint has been allocated to control over the identified component(s).

摘要： The invention provides techniques for selecting, on a dynamic basis, an interworking function (IWF) that can modify a communication protocol to a particular format required by bridged terminal equipment in a communication system. The IWF can be selected to ensure compatibility between transmission bandwidth, coding and other format parameters of a call and the corresponding parameters of its destination terminal in the system. An IWF in accordance with the invention may be utilized to allow a user to bind to different terminals having different capabilities over the duration of a given call. An IWF in accordance with the invention may also be used to insert additional data, retrieved from a database of the switch, into a reverse portion of the call directed from the destination terminal to the source terminal. The invention can thus be used to ensure that the established bandwidth between the destination terminal and the source terminal is substantially bidirectionally symmetric.
