    Abstract: A communication system comprises access points (203, 205) communicating via directional beams and a first and second wireless modem (111, 701) for establishing a first and respectively second mm wave radio communication links to access points (203, 205). The first and second wireless modems (111, 701) are located on a vehicle (103) and employ electronically steerable beamforming directional antennas having a first main beams for establishing the radio communication links. A common network element (705) supports communication over both links and a connection control circuit (1001) switches between the links while providing a single wired connection point. A multipath controller (713) communicates with a complementary multipath controller of the fixed network over a plurality of paths with the multipath controller (713) having a first wired port for a first path of the plurality of paths connected to the first single wired connection point.

    Abstract: An apparatus schedules communications in a wireless communication system comprising a plurality of wireless stations (103-107) operable to communicate wirelessly with each other in accordance with a time division multiple access scheme. The apparatus comprises a receiver (303) for receiving resource requests from the plurality of wireless stations (103-107). A scheduler (305) schedules air interface resource to communications between the plurality wireless stations by allocating time intervals in repeating scheduling intervals. A transmitter (301) transmits scheduling messages providing indications of the scheduling to the plurality of wireless stations (103-107). An adapter (307) adapts a duration of at least one scheduling interval of the repeating scheduling intervals in response to the resource requests from the plurality of wireless stations (103-107).

    Abstract: A method of mitigating start-of-packet interference in a millimetre waveband wireless mesh communications network which comprises a first plurality of network node devices each having a transceiver unit which includes a beamforming antenna device, and a second plurality of millimetre waveband wireless communications links each of which interconnects a respective pair of the transceiver units of the network node devices, the method comprising: allocating respective baseband centre frequencies to pairs of transceivers of the network node devices, which baseband centre frequencies are for use with respective communications links of the network, each such allocated baseband centre frequency being offset from at least one other allocated baseband centre frequency by a respective predetermined offset amount; and at a first transceiver of a selected pair of transceivers, encoding a data packet using an encoding signal having the baseband centre frequency allocated to the selected pair of transceivers, to generate an encoded signal.

    Abstract: A communication system supports communication between an end node of a vehicle and a remote correspondent node via a fixed network which comprises a plurality of wireless access points with a directional antenna arrangement for mm wave radio communication using directional beams. A vehicle comprises wireless modems employing electronically steerable beamforming directional antennas for establishing mm wave radio communication links to the access points. The access points communicate in a frequency channel alternately selected from one of two disjoint sets and a first wireless modem (111) is constrained to communicate using a frequency channel from the first set and a second wireless modem (701) is constrained to communicate using a frequency channel from the first set. A data session controller (705) communicates data of the data session over links provided by the first wireless modem and the second wireless modem.

    Abstract: A processing element comprises a plurality of function units (16) operable to execute respective functions in dependence upon received instructions in parallel with one another. An instruction controller includes a plurality of instruction pipelines (42). Each of the pipelines (42) is associated with a function unit (16) of the processing element, and is operable to deliver instructions to the function unit concerned for execution thereby. Each pipeline also includes a timing controller operable to receive timing information for a received instruction, and to determine an initial location in the pipeline into which the instruction is to be loaded, and an instruction handler operable to receive an instruction for the function unit associated with the instruction pipeline concerned, and to load that instruction into the initial location determined by the timing controller.
