A method for providing media content within a media distribution network. The method comprises transforming source media content into an interim format, thereby providing transformed content. Furthermore, the method comprises storing the transformed content on at least one core storage unit. In addition, the method comprises receiving a request for the source media content from a client. The method further comprises encoding the transformed content or intermediate coded content derived therefrom into encoded content suitable for transmission over a core network and/or an edge network, as well as sending the encoded content via the core network and/or the edge network to the client.

A gateway device includes a call handling equipment (CHE) listener interface, an Internet Protocol (IP) interface, a provisioning engine, and a message parsing engine. The CPE listener interface forms a communication channel with a CHE and receives call event data from the CHE. The IP interface communicates with a cloud-based processing system. The provisioning engine receives, from the cloud-based processing system via the IP interface, instructions for parsing data from a data output format of the CHE into a consistent data format of the cloud-based processing system. The message parsing engine parses the call event data received from the CHE via the CHE listener interface, and formats the call event data according to the consistent data format. The gateway device transmits the formatted call event data to the cloud-based processing system via the IP interface.

The system allows real time collection and processing of massive data from many network elements. It has an elastic architecture that scales horizontally to support different network sizes. The system in a uniform data format for downstream consumption. It employs a pub/sub data distribution mechanism that supports multiple concurrent downstream subscribers efficiently in real-time.

An immutable system of records for achieving compliance in IoT/Control systems in order to thereby provide the regulator with a centralized immutable system of records, is disclosed herein. A blockchain based immutable record management module configured in association with a plurality of control systems associated with a plurality of devices/systems in a heavily regulated industry environment wherein the blockchain based immutable record management module receives and manages a plurality of immutable records from plurality of control systems associated with a plurality of devices/systems in a heavily regulated industry environment. The blockchain based immutable record management module further securely presents the immutable records to the regulators in order thereby enable the industry to inject undisputed facts to the regulators or the regulation authorities.

Method and network elements (NEs) for enabling reliable application layer data transmission through an unreliable network are described. A proxy NE receives from a first NE through a first transport protocol connection first application layer data. The proxy NE transmits the first application layer data through a second transport protocol connection towards the second NE. The proxy NE receives from the first NE through the first transport protocol connection second application layer data that is destined to the second NE. Responsive to determining that there are no transport protocol connections for transmitting the second application layer date, the proxy NE stores the second application layer data in the first proxy NE. Responsive to determining that a third transport protocol connection is established towards the second NE, the proxy NE transmits the second application layer data through the third transport protocol connection towards the second NE.

Technology that facilitates communication of inter-application messages via a message-oriented messaging (MOM) system is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: intercept an inter-application message from a publisher that is destined for a subscriber; convert the intercepted message into a proprietary format of a MOM system; transmit converted message to the MOM system; receive a MOM-processed message from the MOM system; transform the MOM-processed message from the MOM-system proprietary format to the hypertext transfer protocol; and send the transformed message to the subscriber using the hypertext transfer protocol.

The present invention discloses a network communication system that includes a network processing center for receiving and converting an electronic or electro-magnetically transmissible data/content into a physically deliverable object and/or network transmissible content data files for carrying out a hybrid delivery of the data/content by a physical delivery process and/or a network electro-magnetic delivery process to a recipient or an ECRMA. A machine-readable code such as QR code is used in the continuous information flow among the various components of this system. This unique machine-readable code is associated with multiple kinds of address-linked information, user-related personally identifiable information, or biometric information. This code also embodies some derivative component(s) which can be individually accessed and manipulated. The delivery status of the electronic contents or the tangible item and their post-delivery activities are tracked by a variety of mechanisms and the information obtained from the tracking is send back to the content-senders. The continuous communication between the content sender and recipient is enabled through the system and the unique machine-readable code.

A resource publishing method includes that: a gateway receives a first resource link of a resource to be published from a server; the gateway determines, based on an obtained identifier of the server and the first resource link of the resource to be published, a second resource link of the resource to be published; and the gateway sends the second resource link of the resource to be published to a cloud platform, where the second resource link of the resource to be published is used by the cloud platform to publish the resource to be published on a resource directory.
