    摘要: The present invention has solved the collision problems in a CSMA network protocol and at the same time optimized performance of the network. This is accomplished by giving control of the size of the reserved portion and the size of the reservation portion of the communication frame to stations in the network. Further, the reserved portion is allotted to isochronous data packets each of whose length is variable. Also, only those packets that have a reservation are in the frame, and they are placed in the frame in order in accordance with there position of the permission or reservation list. The network timing is controlled by one of the stations acting as a conductor for the network. This conductor station receives the reservation requests from the other stations and builds a beat packet. The beat packet is transmitted from the conductor station to all stations of the network, and provides the timing or beat of the network that all stations are synchronized with. In addition, the beat packet contains the permission list (reservation list) identifying the stations that will transmit, and when they will transmit during the frame. The network interrupt handler and the conductor at the conductor station build this beat packet.

    摘要: A data communication system such as a local area network or a wide area network capable of transmitting isochronous data. The system conveys both isochronous data and non-isochronous data by time multiplexing data into a recurring frame structure on a 4-bit nibble basis. The arriving data is de-multiplexed at a hub into separate channels which are forwarded to separate hardware appropriate for handling the particular data stream. The data is passed hierarchically from a source, through a node, and to a hub. The hub places the data into an internal connection memory for switching onto a high bandwidth bus for distribution to other destination hubs, nodes, or sinks, except, where the source node and destination node are attached to the same hub, the hub provides a local loopback to the destination node, thus avoiding the need to place the transmitted data onto the bus. This system conserves room on the bus for other isochronous and non-isochronous data.

    摘要: A hybrid data communication system comprises synchronous line cards(3) and asynchronous line cards(2) connected to a common data bus(1) includes a contention bus(7) arranged to communicate contention signals between the line cards(2,3). The synchronous line cards are arranged to transmit a high priority contention signal to suspend any outgoing transmission by an asynchronous card(3) and to gain access to the bus(1) of synchronous data. The contention bus includes an acknowledgement line(ACK) which is driven low by a receiving line card to indicate that it is receiving data. The receiving line card performs error checking and only receives the acknowledgement when the received data is determined to be error free. In a preferred example, the asynchronous line cards(2) are arranged to monitor the contention line(7) to detect the initiation of a contention cycle by a synchronous line card(3). Subsequently on the completion of the contention cycle the asynchronous cards(2) interrupt ant outgoing transmission of a data frame to allow the transmission of data by the synchronous card(3).

    摘要: A network for transferring packet data in a frame structure, preferably mixed with isochronous data is provided. The frame structure is a continuously repeating structure, with each frame having a number of time slots. Certain ones of the time slots are available for transmitting packet data. The packet data is re-timed, e.g., by using a FIFO to output the data nibble-wise as required by the frame structure. Similar re-timing can be used for isochronous data so that the frame structure defines time-division multiplexing of the packet data and isochronous data. A four/five encoding scheme provides sufficient encoding efficiency that both the packet data and other data can be accommodated without degrading the data rate of the packet data. The encoding scheme provides extra symbols which can be used for transferring "no carrier" information, or "frame alignment" messages. Preferably, the frame structure is translated to and from a packet structure to permit the present invention to be used with previously available packet circuitry such as a media access controller and a hub repeater circuit. Latency of the FIFO can be reduced by pre-filling with packet preambles, and/or sub-latency propagation of preamble bytes, or providing special MACs which do not output preambles, and using the buffer circuitry to output preambles.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention generally relate to address resolution in a wireless communication system. The access node may locally determine, responsive to receiving a second-layer network address associated with a destination communication device from a source communication device in the wireless communication system, a first-layer network address of the destination communication device from the second-layer network address. The access node may send, responsive to the first-layer network address being unavailable, a request for the first-layer network address to an address resolution server in the wireless communication system. In this way, the time and resources for address resolution may be saved, and the efficiency of the address resolution may be improved.

    摘要: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate employing a variety of medium access control (MAC) header formats in wireless communications. The MAC header formats can be specialized for a particular type of data included in a protocol data unit (PDU). In addition, the MAC headers can have a variable length to accommodate payloads of varying sizes without incurring unnecessary overhead. Further, mechanisms are provided to enable direct access and delivery of control PDUs to associated protocol layers to ensure better quality of service treatment.
