摘要:
An adaptive SVC caching method and system are provided to offload the high processing capacity burden of ATM switches. After an SVC is established in a usual way for a call, it is not torn down after the conversation ends. Instead, the SVC is kept alive for variable duration (i.e., delayed release) with the expectation that there will be another call request for the same terminating end office (26) during that time. The caching duration is adaptively changed with call arrival rate and call setup delay in the ATM network (30) in order to stay within a delay budget specified by the requirements.

A service vehicle (12) for making service calls at a plurality of locations comprises a position determination device (14), a subsystem indicator (16, 18) indicating a condition of a subsystem of the service vehicle, and an associated mobile communication device (20). A hub (24) is in permanent communication with a central computer (31), and also communicates with the position determination device, the system indicator, and the mobile communication device. A system (10) for monitoring a service vehicle is also disclosed.

摘要:
A mobile station (68) is provided with intelligent roaming capabilities. The mobile station, which may be implemented as a mobile, cellular, or PCS telephone unit, includes a System Access List (SAL) that is stored in a memory (67) of the mobile station (68). The SAL may be programmed into the mobile station through a physical interface (such as a computer interface) or by using an over-the-air programming function. When the mobile station (68) is initialized, the mobile station first scans the bands of its home system (54). A secondary band may also be provided for scanning, if the mobile station is unable to locate a control channel on its home band. If the mobile station is not located within its home system, the SAL is searched to determine whether the current system is a preferred system (58). The SAL may include information on the blocks of channels to scan in the preferred bands.

A desired signal (C(t)) and at least one interfering signal (I(t)) are joint demodulated with a Viterbi equalizer (20) having an adaptive total number of states. The total number of states is based on channel impulse response (CIR) coefficients associated with the desired signal (C(t)) and the at least one interfering signal (I(t)).

An Ethernet wide area network (10; 30; 100; 130), comprising: a first local area network (18; 34) having a first root node (150) at a first Ethernet switch (16; 44), the first Ethernet switch having local control software including a maximum diameter discovery algorithm; a plurality of interconnected network Ethernet switches (12; 32; 132; 134, 136, 138), one (14; 62) of the plurality of interconnected network Ethernet switches connected to the first Ethernet switch (16; 44), at least one of the interconnected network Ethernet switches containing network control software including a medium access control (MAC) address re-mapping; an optical repeater (96) connected to a second (72, 74, 76) of the plurality of interconnected network Ethernet switches; and a second local area network (24; 36) having a third Ethernet switch (22; 46) that is connected to the second of the plurality of interconnected network Ethernet switches via the optical repeater (96).
摘要:
An Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)-based distributed network switching system includes an ATM switching network (26) that dynamically sets up individual switched virtual connections. The system also includes multiple access interworking function (A-IWF) devices each operating as a gateway that enables customer premises devices to directly interface into the distributed ATM switching fabric. The system further includes a centralized control and signaling interworking function (CS-IWF) device that performs call control functions and adminstrative functions and is adapted to interface narrowband and broadband signaling for call processing and control within the ATM switching network (26). The CS-IWF device (30) may be a server farm.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for a distributed switching system supporting a plurality of services. A service request is initiated by an initiating customer. The service request is then executed using, for example, a user-to-network interface setup. A terminating setup is then performed to either accept or reject the requested service. Multiple service requests are correlated with respective services to enable at least one appropriate policy and logic. Data related to the requested service is obtained using at least one of a push procedure, a pull procedure, a query procedure, and a procedure in which requests are associated with the issuance of certificates.
