The Packet Switched Streaming Activity Group was formed by the IMTC in order to perform interoperability tests for
Packet-Switched Streaming according to 3GPP Technical Specifications 26.233 and 26.234, for delivering/streaming multimedia content over wireless networks.
Instead of being transmitted over a circuit-switched network, however, the digital information is packetized, and transmission occurs as IP packets over a
packet-switched network.
These packets then travel over a
packet-switched network from sender to receiver.
While TVA's communications services will continue to run over their self-maintained network, the RAD system offers a dual backplane that supports both circuit-switched and
packet-switched networks either separately or concurrently.
At the Design Automation Conference in June, Peh and her colleagues will present a paper she describes as "summarizing 10 years of research" on such "networks on chip." Not only do the researchers establish theoretical limits on the efficiency of
packet-switched on-chip communication networks, but they also present measurements performed on a test chip in which they came very close to reaching several of those limits.
Topics discussed include protection architectures for passive optical networks, fault management, pulse position modulation-based
packet-switched routing, dynamic traffic grooming, survivable service provisioning, and self-healing in transparent optical packet-switching networks.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a general term for a family of transmission technologies for delivery of voice communications over IP networks such as the Internet or other
packet-switched networks.
Precise synchronisation between UMTS Base Transceiver Stations and the Radio Network Controller is essential to Ethernet and IP
packet-switched networks.
Most organizations migrating multiple application types to an integrated
packet-switched WAN service will benefit from traffic management tools like DPI.
The solution provides a cost-effective means of creating new services on both circuit-switched and
packet-switched networks, the company said.
He first covers such fundamentals as
packet-switched networks, networking protocols and devices, data links and transmission, local area networks (LANs) and how they are internetworked, wireless networks and mobile IP, routing and internetworking, transport and end-to-end protocols, applications and network management, and network security.
