Abstract
Disclosed herein are related to communication systems and methods for converting between lossy communication protocol packets and lossless communication protocol packets. In one aspect, the communication system includes a server, a set top box, and an intermediate node. In some embodiments, the intermediate node is configured to receive a lossy communication protocol packet from the server, convert the lossy communication protocol packet to a lossless communication protocol packet, and transmit the converted lossless communication protocol packet to the set top box.
Claims21
A communication system comprising:
- an intermediate node communicatively located between a server and a terminal device and configured to:
- provide a wireless access point for communication between the server and the terminal device;
- receive a lossy communication protocol packet from the server;
- identify a value of a characteristic of a connection between the server and the terminal device;
- responsive to the identified value of the characteristic of the connection satisfying a threshold, convert the lossy communication protocol packet to a lossless communication protocol packet;
- and
- transmit, via the connection, the converted lossless communication protocol packet to the terminal device.
A method by an intermediate node of a communication system, the method comprising:
- providing a wireless access point for communication between a server and a terminal device, the intermediate node communicatively located between the server and the terminal device;
- receiving a lossy communication protocol packet from the server;
- identifying a value of a characteristic of a connection between the server and the terminal device;
- responsive to the identified value of the characteristic of the connection satisfying a threshold, converting the lossy communication protocol packet to a lossless communication protocol packet;
- and
- transmitting, via the connection, the lossless communication protocol packet to the terminal device.
