An information handling system may include a plurality of communication destinations, a communication source, a single-source/multi-destination cable having a plurality of branches, each branch communicatively coupling the communication source to a communication destination respective to such branch, and a logic device communicatively coupled to the communication source and the single-source/multi-destination cable and configured to communicate to each of the plurality of branches both analog source identifying information and digital source identifying information regarding the communication source.

A control portion (10) of a network equipment (1) attempts, when connected to other equipment, connection by using a predetermined communication parameter through communication portions (11, 12), and in a case that the communication is not established, the control portion (10) executes negotiation and establishes communication with the other equipment by using an agreed communication parameter.

A method for communication in an IP network is described. A first communicating device initializes a communication with a second communicating device, signaling to the second communicating device that the first communicating device is compatible with multi-path communications based on the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). If the second communicating device is also compatible with multi-path UDP communications, one of the first communicating device and the second communication device transmits data to the other device using the UDP transport protocol, including in the messages containing said data, regardless of the path used, a single identifier, known as the context identifier, allowing the other communicating device to correlate all of the UDP datagrams associated with the same multi-path UDP communication.

A network node and method for enhancing message communication between a first network node and a second network node in a communication network is provided. The first network node receives an input message from the second network node wherein the input message contains at least one parameter. The first network node then identifies in the received input message the presence of the at least one parameter, wherein the parameter is unknown to the first network node. After identifying at least one unknown parameter, the first network node sends a request message to the second network node for obtaining meta-data associated with the identified unknown parameter. The first network node then receives a response message from the second network node containing the said obtained meta-data associated with the identified unknown parameter. After receiving the response message, the first network node updates the obtained meta-data associated with the unknown parameter.

The present invention provides an in-vehicle communication device and an in-vehicle system that can establish communication, in a short time, between applications corresponding to the same communication protocol between in-vehicle processing devices connected to communication buses having different communication protocols. In the present invention, when the first communication controller 33 has received a specific message from the first in-vehicle processing device 102 connected to the first communication bus 101, the in-vehicle communication device 1 transmits a communication protocol switching command from the second communication controller 3 to the second in-vehicle processing device 202 connected to the second communication bus 201 to switch a communication protocol setting of the second communication controller to the same communication protocol setting as that of the first communication bus.

Embodiments may relate to a user equipment (UE) that is configured to determine a real-time transport protocol (RTP) media flow that includes visual data related to a plurality of images concurrently taken of a location and a supplemental information enhancement (SEI) message that is to be used to display at least a portion of the visual data. The UE is further configured to visually display, based on the visual data and the SEI message, the portion of the visual data to a user of the user device. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

A control system, apparatus, and method are provided. In the control system, plural apparatuses in time synchronization with one another are connected to a network, and the network transfers a frame periodically exchanged by the apparatuses. The apparatuses include a control device and an apparatus controlled by the control device. Each apparatus in the control system is connected over the network, to a first apparatus that transmits a frame that arrives at each of the apparatuses and a second apparatus that receives a frame transmitted from each of the apparatuses. Each apparatus includes information on a frame transfer path and transfer timing based on a synchronous time. When a frame does not arrive at defined time through the transfer path and when a condition associated with a cycle is satisfied, one or more of the apparatuses is configured to transmit a resend request through the transfer path.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to exchanging capability information. A device obtains at least one capability identity, each capability identity representing a capability of a terminal device, the at least one capability identity being used by the terminal device previously. The device transmits capability information of the terminal device to a further device, the capability information comprising the at least one capability identity. In this way, the unnecessary transmission of the capability information can be avoided.
