Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, method and/or computer program product embodiments for providing survivable calling and conferencing. An embodiment operates by providing, by a first server, a first sub-conference to a plurality of user devices over first lines. The first sub-conference is combined with a second sub-conference to form a collective conference of the plurality of user devices. The first server accesses the conference. A second server is configured to provide the second sub-conference of the collective conference to the plurality of user devices over second lines, the first and second lines being distinct from each other. The collective conference may provide resilient and reliable sharing of information among participants and may leverage dispersed elements or diverse links simultaneously without impediments of echoes, loops, or other impacts.

Providing survivable calling and conferencing

Techniques for sending encrypted data includes establishing a plurality of different links between a first node and a different second node. The different links are different physical layer links or different virtual private network (VPN) links or some combination. The method also includes encrypting plaintext using a first value for an encryption parameter to produce ciphertext. Further, the method includes sending a first plurality of messages that indicate the ciphertext using at least one link of the plurality of different links. Still further, the method includes sending a different second plurality of messages that indicate the first value for the encryption parameter using at least one different link of the plurality of different links without introducing a random bit error.

Cipher stream based secure packet communications with key stream transmission over diverse paths

A method and system for intelligently managing a transportation network are provided. The method includes dynamically establishing an ad hoc data communications network that includes vehicle nodes provided by respective vehicles in a transportation network. Behavior of one or more of the vehicles can be controlled remotely in response to automated traffic analysis performed based on real-time information received via the ad hoc network. Remote control of the one or more vehicles can include controlling vehicle motion by controlling vehicle subsystems via real-time command data transmitted to the respective vehicles via the ad hoc network.

Ad-hoc mobile IP network for intelligent transportation system

A method for intelligently managing a transportation network is provided. The method includes providing a roadside apparatus to communicate with vehicle nodes associated with vehicles in a transportation network, the vehicle nodes being in a range of control of the roadside apparatus. Based on real-time location and direction information received from a particular vehicle node associated with a particular one of the vehicles, a specific neighboring roadside apparatus whose range of control is next to be entered by the particular vehicle is identified. Handover information is communicated to the specific neighboring roadside apparatus, and the particular vehicle node is communicatively connected to the specific roadside apparatus before disconnection from the roadside apparatus.

A method for intelligently managing a transportation network is provided. The method may include providing a roadside apparatusto communicate with nodesA toD associated with vehiclesA toD in a transportation network, the vehicle nodes being in a neighborhood range of the roadside apparatus. The roadside apparatus may dynamically detect the presence of a nodeA associated with a first vehicleA, and establish a mobile Internet Protocol (IP) network between the roadside apparatus and the first vehicle's node. The roadside apparatusreceives, in real-time, from the first vehicle's nodeA event data of events associated with the first vehicleA over the mobile IP network. The roadside apparatusor nodesA toD may further receive or transmit real-time command data to control subsystems of a vehicle.

Collecting debug information includes facilitating a communication session for an endpoint operated by a user. One or more user-driven conditions are monitored, where a user-driven condition results from an action by the user. Data is gathered during the monitoring. Whether the communication session is satisfactory or unsatisfactory is determined from the one or more user-driven conditions. Monitoring is discontinued if the communication session is satisfactory, and debug information is generated from the gathered data if the communication session is unsatisfactory.
