The system further uses database information to internally route messages to message processing programs (MPPs) (108, 138) which process messages and generate messages to the external devices and authorization systems. The MGR also converts the outgoing messages from the internal message format to the external message formats which can be interpreted by the external devices and systems to which the messages are directed.

An "active" calendar automatically analyzes a user's calendar entries and sends machine-readable messages to destinations appropriate to content of the calendar entry. A group of event categories is established, each category specifying one class of anticipated calendar entry. An action rule database pre-associates each event category with one or more message formats each having a content and a destination. The action rule database also contains data identifying sources containing the content and destination for each message format. These sources include records of the action rule database itself, subparts of calendar entries of the pre-associated event category, one or more other databases, or a combination of the foregoing. After the calendar receives a user-submitted computer calendar entry describing a planned event, it identifies one of the event categories of the established group that classifies the planned event. For each message format pre-associated with the identified event category, the calendar determines the content and destination for the message as specified by the action rule database, and transmits the message to the destination.

Extensible resource messaging in a communication network is provided through creation of a flexible, extensible, and secure messaging environment. A client-server architecture may be implemented in which user applications employ messaging clients to send resource requests for network information, allocation and other operations and receive resource responses, and in which network elements, through resource agents, may use messaging servers to accept resource requests and return resource responses. Resource agents in different network domains may interact through the messaging environment and work together to fulfill resource requests. An XML-based messaging mechanism may be built with a defined message format that can provide flexible message contexts. Network resource semantics may be specified using XML schemas so that network resources are expressed as resource-specific XML elements and network updates can be implemented by updating the XML resource schemas. Secure enhancements may be realized by secure transport, message verification and other means.

A service proxy is used to automatically supply the message-format parameters required for incoming message communications to a web-service provider from client applications through a message-conversion system that the web-service provider previously sets up. For outgoing messages from the web service to client businesses, the service proxy automatically supplies the required message-format parameters according to service policies that client businesses set up previously through the web-service provider's web-site interface. The format of client application messages is predefined for a web service policy, and a configuration interface is established for context variables and message format variables. This service profile is recalled in order to apply the proper message format parameters for a web service request.

A multi-channel process enrolls user-viewers via VOD inputs and supplemental communications channels (cell phone, VoIP, land-line telephone, Internet or fax). Goods are advertised for the shop on-demand (OD) process via user's interactive TV (STB enabled TV set). A buy-now command is sent with the STB-ID code to the cable head end (HE) and shop OD client application operative thereat and to the shop OD computer server. If the set ID code matches the approved list at the HE, a purchase-confirmation is sent to the user via the STB-TV from the cable HE. One methodology sends a local confirm via metadata or specially configured VA asset. Supplemental communications channels handle supplemental confirms to the user. If not enrolled, supplemental communications network gathers user-viewer profile data. The profile lists user-selectable supple-comm message format (email, voice, text, fax). Non-enrollees may be given discounts to enroll. PINs are also used to control purchasing processes.

Techniques for implementing message passing decoders, e.g., LDPC decoders, are described. To facilitate hardware implementation messages are quantized to integer multiples of ½ ln2. Messages are transformed between more compact variable and less compact constraint node message representation formats. The variable node message format allows variable node message operations to be performed through simple additions and subtractions while the constraint node representation allows constraint node message processing to be performed through simple additions and subtractions. Variable and constraint nodes are implemented using an accumulator module, subtractor module and delay pipeline. The accumulator module generates an accumulated message sum. The accumulated message sum for a node is stored and then delayed input messages from the delay pipeline are subtracted there from to generate output messages. The delay pipeline includes a variable delay element making it possible to sequentially perform processing operations corresponding to nodes of different degrees.

An extensible binary mark-up language is disclosed that is compatible with existing XML standards yet provides significantly improved efficiencies for XML-based data storage and communications, particularly for narrow and low bandwidth communication media.

And the non-AP station receives from an access point (AP) a response message including zero or more emergency call numbers in response to the request message.

A method and apparatus for securely establishing voice over Internet Protocol calls are disclosed. In a Registration Security approach, a Gatekeeper sends an Access Token in all Registration Request messages. The Access Token contains information that authenticates the Gateway to the Gatekeeper. The Gatekeeper formats a message to an authentication server that will authenticate the information contained in the token, and the server responds with either an Access-Accept or Access-Reject message. The Gatekeeper responds to the Gateway with either a Registration Confirm message or a Registration Reject message. If a call is then placed from a successfully authenticated Gateway, that Gateway generates a new Access Token that is identical to the one generated during registration, except for the timestamp. The Gatekeeper uses the authentication server to authenticate the originating gateway, before sending the designation side Access Confirm message. As a result, a non-authenticated endpoint that knows a Gateway's address cannot use the Gateway address to circumvent security and access the telephone network to place unauthorized calls or free calls. In Admission or Per-Call Security, a Gateway is also required to include an Access Token in all originating side Admission Request messages. Such token contains information that identifies the user of the Gateway to the Gatekeeper, based on an account number and PIN obtained from the user. The Access Token is authenticated in the manner described above.

Examples of local communication systems are disclosed, based on a ring of point-to-point links, providing for transport of fixed rate synchronous, fixed rate asynchronous data and variable rate data in a flexible format. Different segments of the ring network can carry data at different bit rates, while remaining synchronized to a common frame rate and having a common control channel structure, for compatibility with earlier systems. Parallel channels are provided, either permanently or when required, for signalling errors of source data, data validity / padding, flow control. Parallel variable width channels are defined with free content (stream or packet). Null data symbols are defined for padding on a byte-by-byte basis. The allocation of capacity among variable width channels is revised block by block, and a transition period is defined to allow for ring latency. Calculations for allocation of capacity are performed during one block for the next block, locally at each source station, according to predetermined rules. Information as to bandwidth requirements is exchanged prior to the calculation via a special connection signalling channel and message format.
