Integrated circuits, systems, apparatus, packets and processes utilizing path diversity for media over packet applications
First Claim
1. A wireless telephone comprising:
- A. an antenna, B. a voice transducer, and C. integrated circuit means coupling the voice transducer to the antenna, the integrated circuit means for transmitting real-time voice data in packets over a packet network subject to packet loss, the integrated circuit means having a processor circuit and a packet network path diversity software stack, the integrated circuit means for;
i. generating on the integrated circuit first packets containing the real-time voice data, the first packets including a first particular address of a destination on the packet network, a second particular address of a first proxy computer on the packet network, dependency identification bits, and path diversity identification bits; and
ii. generating on the integrated circuit dependent packets containing information dependent on the voice data, the dependent packets including the first particular address of a destination on the packet network, a third particular address of a second proxy computer on the packet network, dependency identification bits, and path diversity identification bits.

Abstract
In one form of the invention, a process of sending real-time information from a sender computer (103) to a receiver computer (105) coupled to the sender computer (103) by a packet network (100) wherein packets (111,113) sometimes become lost, includes steps of directing (441) packets (111) containing the real-time information from the sender computer (103) by at least one path (119) in the packet network (100) to the receiver computer (105), and directing packets (113) containing information dependent on the real-time information from the sender computer (103) by at least one path diversity path (117) in the packet network (100) to the same receiver computer (105).
Other forms of the invention encompass other processes, improved packets and packet ensembles (111,113), integrated circuits (610), chipsets (DSP 1721, MCU), computer cards (1651), information storage articles (1511,1611), systems, computers (103,105), gateways (191,193), routers (131,133), cellular telephone handsets (181,189), wireless base stations (183,187), appliances (1721,1731,1741), and packet networks (100), and other forms as disclosed and claimed.
