METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING SIGNALS FROM A LOCAL COLLECTION FACILITY AT A SIGNAL PROCESSING FACILITY
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- at a first local collection facility comprising a first plurality of receiving circuit modules,receiving a first plurality of channel signals at the first plurality of receiving circuit modules;
generating a first plurality of IP encoded signals from the first plurality of channel signals; and
at a first router, routing the first plurality of encoded signals to an IP network;
at a second local collection facility comprising a second plurality of receiving circuit modules,receiving a second plurality of channel signals at the second plurality of receiving modules;
generating a second plurality of IP encoded signals from the second plurality of channel signals; and
at a second router, routing the second plurality of encoded signals to the IP network;
at a remote facility configuring a statistical multiplexer with a compression system controller, at least one of the first plurality of receiving circuit modules and at least one of the second plurality of receiving circuit modules to form a multicast group so that at least one of the first plurality of encoded signals and at least one of the second plurality of encoded signals are multiplexed together with the statistical multiplexer to form an output signal.

Abstract
A system and method for processing signal in a remote facility includes an IP network and a first local collection facility that includes a first plurality of receiving circuit modules receiving a first plurality of channel signals and generating a first plurality of IP encoded signals from the first plurality of channel signals and a first router routing the first plurality of encoded signals to the IP network. The system also includes a second local collection facility comprising a second plurality of receiving circuit modules receiving a second plurality of channel signals and generating a second plurality of IP encoded signals from the second plurality of channel signals and a second router routing the second plurality of encoded signals to the IP network. The system also includes a remote facility having a statistical multiplexer in communication with the IP network. The remote facility includes a compression system controller configuring the statistical multiplexer and at least one of the first plurality of receiving circuit modules and at least one of the second plurality of receiving circuit modules to form a multicast group so that at least one of the first plurality of encoded signals and at least one of the second plurality of encoded signals are multiplexed together with the statistical multiplexer to form an output signal.
