METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PEER TO PEER WIDE AREA NETWORK COMMUNICATION
First Claim
1. A method of operation of a peer within a distributed peer to peer wide area network, the wide area network comprising a plurality of network locations, each network location consisting of at least one peer and at least one base station, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more media and one or more associated control signaling from any one of a plurality of Logical Media/Control Channels, wherein each Logical Media/Control Channel is associated with a Transport Resource on a base station;
formatting the media into a Formatted Media Packet;
formatting the control signaling into an Internet Peer to Peer Control Signaling;
concatenating the Formatted Media with the Internet-Peer to Peer Control Signaling to form a Concatenated Packet comprising an Internet-Peer to Peer Control Signaling and a Media Packet;
packet duplicating the Concatenated Packet, thereby forming a duplicated Concatenated Packet comprising at least one of a unicast packet and a multicast packet; and
transmitting the duplicated Concatenated Packets to at least one other Peer via the wide area network.

Abstract
A method and system for peer to peer wide area network communication is provided. A peer in the network receives one or more media and one or more associated control signaling from any one of a plurality of Logical Media/Control Channels, wherein each Logical Media/Control Channel is associated with a Transport Resource on a base station; formats the media into a Formatted Media Packet; formats the control signaling into an Internet Peer to Peer Control Signaling; concatenates the Formatted Media with the Internet-Peer to Peer Control Signaling to form a Concatenated Packet comprising an Internet-Peer to Peer Control Signaling and a Media Packet; duplicates the Concatenated Packet, thereby forming a duplicated Concatenated Packet comprising at least one of a unicast packet and a multicast packet; and transmits the duplicated Concatenated Packets via the wide area network.

27. A method of operation of a Peer within a distributed peer to peer wide area network, the method comprising:
within an Internet Jitter Buffer Length Optimizer of the Peer; evaluating a (99+x)% worst jitter between the Peer and all other Peers; and setting all Internet Jitter Buffer lengths to the next highest multiple of at least the sum of the worst case serialization delay plus the (99+x)% worst jitter between itself and all other Peers where 0<
