Method and system for peer to peer wide area network communication
First Claim
1. A method of operation of a first 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:
- identifying, by a first peer in the wide area network, an intermediary peer in the wide area network;
requesting, by the first peer and from the intermediary peer, an IP address and port number of each other peer in the wide area network;
receiving at the first peer, in response to the request and from the intermediary peer, the IP address and port number of each of a plurality of other peers in the wide area network;
assigning, by the first peer, a socket and wide area network jitter buffer for each IP address and port number of each other peer in the wide area network;
receiving, at the first peer from a mobile radio within coverage of a base station coupled to the first peer, one or more media, with one or more associated control signaling embedded therein, from any one of a plurality of Logical Channels, wherein each Logical Channel is associated with a Transport Resource at the base station;
extracting the associated control signalling from the one or more media;
concatenating, by the first peer, the media with the control signaling to form a Concatenated Packet;
packet duplicating, by the first peer, the Concatenated Packet, thereby forming a plurality of duplicated Concatenated Packets; and
unicast transmitting, by the first peer, the plurality of duplicated Concatenated Packets, each to a respective other peer via the respective assigned socket and wide area network jitter buffer of the first peer and 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.
