摘要:
Multi cast techniques are employed to provide host computer elements access to multiple redundant servers of a communication network in such a way that the hosts need not know which of the servers is active. In one embodiment, the servers provide a gateway function between an Ethernet LAN and an external network. The Ethernet LAN comprises one or more hosts connected to one or more switches, the switches connected to corresponding servers defining an active/standby pair. The servers are connected to an external network by corresponding active/standby links. The hosts send messages directed to a multicast address to at least one of the switches. The switches forward the messages on ports according to a multicast routing topology having been determined by performing IGMP “snooping” of messages issued from the servers. Both the active and standby servers receive the messages; and the active server sends the messages to the external network. In case the active server fails or is removed from service, the standby server is promoted to active server and assumes the role of the formerly active server without necessitating any communication to the hosts to inform them of the change in status of the active server.

A wireless communication system base station includes a number of channel unit boards, each including multiple channel elements for providing processing operations for signals assigned to multiple carriers of the system. A given channel unit board includes a multiplexer which is operative to implement multi-carrier/multi-sector channel pooling by assigning a given one of the channel elements of that board to any one of the multiple carriers of the system. For example, the multiplexer in the given channel board may be operative to connect the channel elements of that board to I/Q signal buses associated with different system carriers. The I/Q signal bus for each of the carriers is then combined on the given board with corresponding signals from other boards. The invention allows each of N channel elements of the given channel unit board to be assigned to a particular one of up to N carriers of the system, thereby providing substantially improved flexibility in terms of system configuration.

A wireless communication system (20) includes a wireless network (22) that communicates with a plurality of base stations (24) over a backhaul network (26). A disclosed example includes monitoring an amount of control traffic on the backhaul network (26) and dynamically and automatically adjusting an allocation of the backhaul resource for handling the control traffic. A disclosed example automatically allocates a remaining amount of the backhaul resource for handling bearer traffic.
摘要:
A back haul architecture enables efficient primary transfer (i.e., transfer of the designation of primary base station from one base station to another). A frame selection/distribution (FSD) function queues packets of forward-link data—to which sequence numbers have been assigned—for packet-mode transmission over the back haul only to one base station—the current primary base station—where the packets are again queued for over-the-air transmission to the mobile unit. If and when it becomes appropriate to transfer the designation of primary base station to another base station, there may still be packets of data queued at the old primary base station awaiting transmission to the mobile unit. The old primary base station sends a message to the new primary base station indicating a particular sequence number that identifies the remaining packets of forward-link data queued at the old primary base station. The new primary base station then sends a message to the FSD function requesting transmission of those packets of forward-link data corresponding to the particular sequence number. The FSD function then transmits those requested packets of forward-link data to the new primary base station, which queues the requested packets for over-the-air transmission to the mobile unit. In this way, transmission of all of the forward-link data to the mobile unit is enabled without having to transmit the remaining queued packets of forward-link data from the old primary base station to the new primary base station over the back haul, thereby providing an efficient mechanism for primary transfer in wireless communications systems that support forward-link data transmissions only in simplex mode.

A system includes a first virtual end point processor (332) operably coupled to a plurality of channel elements (304) and a second virtual end point processor (340) operably coupled to a plurality of frame selectors (314). The system also includes at least one signaling manager (318, 334) that is arranged and constructed to establish a communication path that terminates at the first virtual end point processor (332) and the second virtual end point processor (340) prior to receiving a request for resources for a data call, such that set-up time for the data call through a wireless network is reduced.

This invention relates to the ribonucleotide reductase of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf RR), to the subunits of Pf RR (Pf R1 and Pf R2), and to compounds comprising peptides derived from the Pf R2 C-terminus sequence that inhibit the action of protozoal RR. The invention provides a method for the prevention and treatment of malaria caused by P. falciparum by controlling the proliferation of P. falciparum comprising administering to a patient at least one peptide according to the invention. Antimalarial compositions are provided which comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and at least one peptide according to the invention which inhibits the P. falciparum ribonucleotide reductase reduction of ribonucleotides to 2'-deoxyribonucleotides. Also provided are methods for diagnosing malaria and for screening potential antimalarial agents.

A synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide complementary to endorphin mRNA and a method of using it to detect and isolate endorphin mRNA and cDNA from human and rabbit pancreas. A unique 15 base oligodeoxynucleotide dCATGAACCCGCCGTA wherein T represents thymine, G represents guanine, A represents adenine, and C represents cytosine and where at least 13 of the 15 nucleotides are as indicated (one of those indicated may be instead one of the other three mentioned nucleotides) has been found to be complementary to endorphin mRNA. To isolate endorphin mRNA, total RNA is first extracted from human brain and A+ is isolated from the total RNA. Other tissues may be used. The A+ RNA is then treated with the oligodeoxynucleotide, and the resulting hybridized RNA is enzymatically converted to endorphin mRNA:cDNA which can then be purified and used in a conventional manner to produce endorphin by cloning techniques.
