    摘要: An asymmetric network communication system for use in a client-server environment having independent forward and return channels operating at different speeds and/or under different protocols on the same or different communication media to provide efficient utilization of shared resources. A network manager, such as a hybrid access system, effects transmission of packetized data on a forward (downstream) channel from the host server to multiple client devices coupled with a shared downstream media at 10 or more megabits per second while simultaneously providing selectable multiple lower speeds of operation on shared or dedicated return (upstream) channels from the client devices to the host server depending on bandwidth availability, bandwidth demand, service level authorization, etc. for the return channel. Forward and return channels may be located on the same or different communication medium including a CATV network, direct broadcast satellite network, television or radio RF broadcast network, wireless or mobile cellular facilities or the like. The return channel may reside on a PSTN either directly coupled with the host server or connected with the network manager for subsequent transmission to the host server. The network manager handles or controls the forward and return communication to establish interactive full-duplex real-time network sessions between the host and a selected client device. The network manager switches upstream channel assignment based on quality of signals transmitted to the host, effects changes in the upstream transmitted power based on sensed conditions, and automatically configures new client devices as they are added to the network. The system issues data transmission credits to client devices for enabling them to independently transmit data without supervision up to their allowed credit limit thereby reducing polling for channel allocation requests.

    摘要: A dual-mode router for conveying process communication packets across a plurality of distinct wireless process communication networks is provided. The router includes wireless communication circuitry and a controller coupled to the wireless communication circuitry. The wireless communication circuitry is configured to interact with signals from each of the plurality of distinct wireless process communication networks. The controller is configured to adapt process communication packets from a first distinct wireless process communication network for transmission over a second distinct wireless process communication network. Methods for configuring the distinct wireless process communication networks and relaying process packets over the distinct wireless process communication networks are also provided.

    摘要: Packets transported over a serial data stream need to have their start and stop information encoded so that they can be parsed by the receiving device. Techniques used in various standards require extra bandwidth to carry this information. For framed data streams like T1, proprietary protocols have used the frame structure to mark packet boundaries. Both types of solutions are undesirable for unframed, long distance data streams like the CCITT G.703 2.048 Mbps unframed service, subrate trunks, or fractional T1 services. The present invention provides a packet framing method that uses the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) found in most packet formats. The protocol does not require any extra bandwidth and can work with any serial data stream physical layer.
