Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method is disclosed in which a device identifies a set of data stream rates for a plurality of data streams. A Huffman tree is constructed for data transmission time slots based on the set of data stream rates. A number of time slots assigned to a parent node in the tree are determined and evenly distributed to child nodes of the parent node, to assign the time slots to the data streams.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a synchronized adaptive infrastructure (SAIN) network. Switches, synchronized nodes, and persistent connections can be used. Also described are methods and apparatus for the following functions: disjoint partitioning; data aggregation and disaggregation; interfacing with packet-based networks; bandwidth management; use of control vectors for security, addressing, error control, routing, etc. Synchronized networks are disclosed which enable fast connection set up and release in a tiered hierarchy of circuit switched nodes. Methods of synchronizing and transforming data streams are disclosed, as well as overcoming Doppler, environmental, and frequency offset effects.
Abstract:
A method and system that enables proportionately multiplexing a plurality of data stream into one data stream is disclosed. A mobile station 12 has applications that produce separate data streams. Example applications include voice 32, signaling 34, E-mail 36 and web applications 38. The data streams are combined by a multiplexer module 48 into one data stream called the transport stream 50. The transport stream 50 is sent over the reverse link to a BTS 14. The multiplexer module 48 combines the data streams onto the transport stream according to their relative proportions and priorities.
Abstract:
A multiplexing device divides two input data rows (a, b) into packets (3a, 3b) of fixed lengths (La, Lb) respectively and transmits the packets (3a, 3b) to which a flag (1) and headers (2a, 2b) indicating the data types of the packets are added. If a header (2) cannot be normally recognized because of a transmission error or the like, the demultiplexing device performs demultiplexing by assuming the row to be the input data row (a) if the length of the data to the flag (1) to occur next is (La), and by assuming it to be the input data row (b) if (Lb). If the flag (1) cannot be normally recognized because of a transmission error or the like, the demultiplexing device continues the subsequent demultiplexing by assuming that the flag (1) is present after the length La if the header (2) just before indicates the input data row (a), and by assuming that the flag (1) is present after the length (Lb) if the header (2) indicates the input data row (b).
Abstract:
A method of efficiently combining data from at least a plurality of a first type of data source and a second type of data source. The method comprises synchronizing the plural first type of data sources to thereby generate a synchronized data rate, providing a frame (100) having plural bit positions (112), assigning the synchronized first type of data in ones of the bit positions (112) of the frame (100), and arranging the second type of data in the frame (100) as a function of the synchronized data rate.
Abstract:
A packet multiplexing apparatus is presented for multiplexing packets to be transmitted from a number of user facilities to a local service node in such a way to assure equal access to one output port for all the users. The apparatus is provided with input ports (1-0~1-(N-1)) for inputting a packet in a respective input port; buffer memories (3-0~3-(n-1)) provided for each input port for temporary storage of a packet; an output signal transmission circuit (4) for retrieving a packet from each buffer memory in a specific sequence; an output port (2) for transmitting packets output from the output signal transmission circuit; and a retrieval sequencing section (10 or 20 or 30) for controlling the specific sequence by changing a retrieving order of packets from buffer memories for each complete round of packet retrieval so that a frequency of the retrieving order for each input port is uniformly shared by the input ports.

Abstract:
The present invention includes a method, system, and apparatus for providing communication control. The invention includes a method in which signaling is processed externally to a switch before it is applied by the network elements (131-136). The processor (120) is able to select network characteristics and signal the network elements (131-136) based on the selections. A network (110) employing the processing method is also included, as well as a signaling system that employs the processing method.
Abstract:
The invention includes a signal receiving and a signal transmitting unit (61) adapted for converting an information-carrying signal (70c) received at a first transmission rate to an information-carrying signal (70d') transmitted at a second transmission rate which differs from the first transmission rate. One signal receiving input (70c, 70d, 70e) of several available inputs, where each input is adapted to a transmission rate which differs from the transmission rates of remaining inputs, can be connected (93) to one signal transmitting output of several available outputs (70d', 70e'), where each output (70d', 70e') is adapted to a transmission rate which differs from the transmission rates of remaining outputs, in dependence on signals occurring on one or more control conductors (71), wherein a selected control conductor and/or selected signal information selects and initiates a conversion mode having a selected conversion index.
