A method for altering an operating frequency of a processor. The method includes monitoring a real-time performance indicator of a system, and determining a desired frequency in response to the indicator. The indicator may be an amount of idle time of a processor of the system. The method also includes selectively altering an operating frequency of the processor in response to a comparison of the desired frequency and the operating frequency, including increasing the operating frequency in response to the desired frequency being greater than the operating frequency, and decreasing the operating frequency only in response to the desired frequency being less than the operating frequency by more than a predetermined value.

Methods and procedures to dynamically adjust processor frequency

A base station of a cordless telephone includes a transceiver, a control module, a connection handler, and a media handler. The transceiver wirelessly communicates with a handset. While the handset is operating in a standby mode, the transceiver transmits a signal to instruct the handset to exit the standby mode. The control module establishes a permanent virtual circuit with the handset that includes a predetermined user datagram protocol (UDP) port or a negotiated UDP port. The control module negotiates, with the handset to determine a feature subset of the handset and transmits packets to the handset via the permanent virtual circuit. The packets are selected based on the feature subset of the handset. The connection handler is configured to establish a switched virtual circuit with an endpoint device via a communications channel. The media handler is configured to convert media packets into first and second digital audio compression formats.

End-to-end session without signaling protocol

An endpoint system for media communication comprises a resource-limited device and a base station. The resource-limited device at least one of receives and outputs at least one of audio and graphic information. The base station communicates media and control packets with the resource-limited device via a permanent virtual circuit, establishes a switched virtual circuit with an endpoint device via a communications channel, and translates media packets between the permanent virtual circuit and the switched virtual circuit.

A method of processing Voice band Data in a communication path in a telecommunication network. The communication path consists of a plurality of Voice band Data relay gateways, including a first Voice band Data relay gateway, a last Voice band Data relay gateway, and at least one Voice band Data relay gateway between the first and last Voice band Data relay gateways. The method includes steps of detecting the Voice band Data relay gateway, and disabling the at least one Voice band Data relay gateway between the first and last Voice band Data relay gateways, whereby the at least one Voice band Data relay gateway between the first and last Voice band Data relay gateways does not encode and decode the Voice band Data.

Method for eliminating multiple modulation and demodulation of Voice band Data communication over packet and low data rate digital networks

A method and apparatus for maintaining a fax transmission over a relay network that includes at least first and second portions and a relay portion that couples the first and second portions to each other. At a second gateway connecting the second portion to the relay portion, data frames received over the relay portion are processed to determine if they are corrupted, and signals are sent back to a first gateway to resend any data frames that are corrupted. The first gateway connects the first portion to the relay portion.

Fax transmission over congested or corrupted wideband network, or narrowband network, using ECM error block flow control

A technique for detection and bypass of unnecessary modulation/demodulation and compression/decompression of Group 3 fax, in a telecommunication network having more than one pair, or 'tandem,' Group 3 fax relay gateways. Detection and the effective removal of a Group 3 fax tandem reduces end-to-end processing delays of the facsimile signal, and improves performance of the Group 3 fax communication. The invention uses frequencies normally used for voice information (such as V.21 channelfrequencies) to detect tandem fax relay gateways and effectively remove unnecessary relay gateways.

Method for eliminating multiple modulating and demodulating of group 3 fax over packet and low data rate digital networks

A system and method to establish an end-to-end error correcting protocol between two voice band data modems over a network including voice band data relay gateways, where part of the end-to-end connection is via low data rate narrowband network. Using a partial implementation of V.42 LAPM protocol within the data relay gateways, the system allows the independent selection of modulation schemes at each gateway as well as increased user data throughput by removing non-informational data. Flow control of the user data to match the channel rate of the narrowband network may also be provided.

System and method for implementing an end-to-end error-correcting protocol in a voice band data relay system

A system and method for fax transmission over a fax relay network that includes at least a wideband portion and a narrowband portion, includes a first fax relay gateway communicatively connecting a sending fax machine on the wideband portion of the network to the narrowband portion of the network, the first fax relay gateway receiving image data from the sending fax machine and outputting digitized image data in accordance with a data rate of the narrowband portion of the fax relay network. A second fax relay gateway, communicatively connects a receiving fax machine to the narrowband portion of the network. At least one of the first fax relay gateway or the second fax relay gateway includes a control process that determines whether an amount of data stored in a buffer in the fax relay gateway is greater or less than a particular threshold or determines that the amount of jitter in the narrow band network exceeds a particular threshold, and if so, initiates a retrain procedure to adjust the fax data rate.
