Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of wireless communications. Disclosed are a time slot state update method and device, which are used to improve the time flexibility during update of the time slot state. In the present invention, a communications node determines an update period of a time slot state table, the update period comprising x continuous time slots and x being an integer not less than 1 and not greater than the total of the time slots comprised in one frame; and the communications node updating the time slot state table after the update period ends. It can be seen that, the solution can improve the time flexibility during update of the time slot state.

Disclosed is a heterogeneous method of a Wi-Fi Internet of things (IoT), comprising: arranging at least one Wi-Fi IoT bridging device in a Wi-Fi IoT, the Wi-Fi IoT bridging device using a time division technique and communicating with at least one distant IoT device in a reduced data rate mode. Further disclosed is a heterogeneous IoT framework, comprising: a wireless router connecting to an IoT and supporting a standard Wi-Fi link; a bridging device connecting to the wireless router via the standard Wi-Fi link; and a Wi-Fi device in a reduced data rate mode connecting to the bridging device via the reduced data rate mode. The invention realizes bridging and swapping of data in a heterogeneous Wi-Fi IoT structure consisting of Wi-Fi IoT subnets having different baseband rates.

Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure improve the functionality of electronic messaging and imaging software and systems by automating the client-side transcoding of video data based on content. For example, an appropriate transcoding configuration can be selected for video data having complex motion or textures. Accordingly, video quality can be improve when complex motions or textures are present.

Methods and computing systems for dynamic rate adaption during real-time Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication are described. A real-time LTE communication session with another mobile device is established over an LTE connection. The real-time LTE communication session is established with codec rate. A monitor component receives data indicating a performance of the real-time LTE communication session, and causes the real-time LTE communication component to perform, during the real-time LTE communication session, a renegotiation of the codec rate based at least on the performance of the real-time LTE communication session.

The present disclosure is related to technology for a sensor network, machine to machine (M2M) communication, machine type communication (MTC), and Internet of Things (IoT). Provided is a method, performed by a server, of transmitting and receiving data, in which, as a transmission authority request is received from at least one terminal from among a plurality of terminals connected to the server, a number of transmitting terminals previously determined by the server is compared with a maximum number of transmitting terminals allowable by the server, in response to the transmission authority request, and a transmission authority of the at least one terminal is determined based on a result of the comparing. The present disclosure are applicable to intelligent services based on the technology (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security, and safety-related service).

An anchoring network device of a telecommunications network can receive a first initiation request of a communication session and determine a second request indicating a different media capability than the first request. A network gateway can modify packets of the session, e.g., by transcoding between the capabilities. In some examples, the anchoring device can determine that a codec list of the initiation request corresponds to a rewrite rule. The device can apply the rewrite rule to the request to provide a second request listing a second, different codec. In some examples, the anchoring device can determine if there is a common media capability between the first initiation request and a predetermined exclusion list. If not, the second request can include at least one capability not in the first request, e.g., an Enhanced Voice Services (EVS) Channel-Aware-mode (ChAw) codec.

A network node is provided that communicates with a first terminal, which supports a first codec and a second terminal. The network node includes a detector that detects switching of a codec of the first terminal and the second terminal, wherein the first codec supports a codec A compatible mode and a codec A non-compatible mode, the first codec being a new codec and codec A having a dedicated payload format, and wherein the codec A compatible mode is compatible with a second codec and the codec A non-compatible mode is non-compatible with the second codec, the second codec being a legacy codec. The network node also includes a transmitter that transmits a signal for the second terminal to switch the negotiated codec A non-compatible mode of the second terminal to the codec A compatible mode.

Methods and apparatuses provide for listing codecs for offers and for providing an effective listing of codecs for answers. For example, a method relating to offers is provided which includes receiving an incoming offer that lists a plurality of codecs, determining for each of the plurality of codecs whether one or more related codecs are not listed in the incoming offer, generating an outgoing offer that lists the plurality of codecs and the one or more related codecs that were determined not to be listed in the incoming offer, and transmitting the outgoing offer.

A method includes: receiving a first speech frame; identifying a first codec mode based at least in part on a Codec Mode Command (CMC) comprising the first speech frame; identifying a second codec mode based at least in part on a downlink (DL) Codec Mode Indication (DCMI) comprising the first speech frame; determining, based at least in part on a current uplink (UL) codec mode, to apply one of the first codec mode, the second codec mode, and a third codec mode having a higher bit rate than the first codec mode; and applying one of the first codec mode, the second codec mode, and the third codec mode. Apply the first codec mode when the RxLev and RXQual are determined not to exceed a predetermined threshold, and applying second or third codec modes otherwise.

In one embodiment, a wireless system comprises a host MSC/VLR of a public land mobile network (PLMN) and a plurality of base station subsystems (BBSs). Each BSS includes a respective base station controller (BSC) and one or more base transceiver stations (BTSs). The wireless system further comprises a virtual base station controller (VBSC) communicatively coupled to the plurality of BSSs and the host MSC/VLR. The VBSC appears, from the perspective of the host MSCNLR, to be a base station controller for the BTSs in the plurality of BSSs. The VBSC and at least some of the BSSs include functionality for locally switching calls in the BSSs.
