Abstract:
The present disclosure describes a networking switch of a network and method for operating the networking switch. The networking switch communicates within the network using datagrams, such as packets and/or frames. The frames include packets of a first communication protocol or layer having headers of the first communication protocol or layer. In some situations, the packets of the first communication protocol or layer are embedded with packets of a second communication protocol or layer. Often times, one or more fields of headers of the first communication protocol or layer convey substantially similar or redundant information, such as routing information to provide an example, as one or more fields of headers of the second communication protocol or layer. In these situations, the networking switch can compress the one or more fields of the headers of the first communication protocol or layer
Abstract:
A universal network interface controller (UNIC) is provided for interfacing a host computer to a switch fabric, a packet network, or both. The UNIC includes encapsulation logic configured to encapsulate a CBP communication for transmission as switch fabric data on the switch fabric. Finally, the UNIC includes transmit logic configured to transmit the encapsulated CBP communication to the remote CBP device using the switch fabric.
Abstract:
A system includes an antenna, a modulator, and a controller. The modulator may be operatively connected to the antenna. The modulator may be configured to send, a signal to a wireless device via the antenna. The modulator may have an output impedance. The controller may be connected to the output of the antenna. The controller may include a detector and a driver. The detector may be configured to determine the amplitude of a response from the wireless device. The driver may be configured to scale the output impedance responsive to the amplitude.
Abstract:
A device for facilitating data communication in a peer-to-peer network may include at least one processor circuit. The processor circuit may be configured to initiate, in or outside a discovery time window, a data connection setup with a second device. The processor circuit may be configured to, when the data connection setup is not completed within the discovery time window, select a negotiation time window based on at least one of an advertised availability of the device or an advertised availability of the second device and resume, in the negotiation time window, the data connection setup. The processor circuit may be configured to receive information associated with one or more data transfer time windows from the second device upon completion of the data connection setup, where the one or more data transfer time windows are selected based at least on the data connection setup.
Abstract:
A system and method for carrying control data in a preamble. A control-data bearing preamble is defined to facilitate end-to-end labeling and control-data transport. This control-data bearing preamble provides a unified labeling scheme with minimal overhead, which facilitates greater ease in parsing. The control-data bearing preamble can be converted to/from other control/labeling schemes at the edge of the control-data bearing preamble aware portion of the network.
Abstract:
A system and method for limited the processing of interrupt-causing messages within a communication device. A user is able to set various values for dictating the bounds of a leaky bucket processor. The leaky bucket maintains and monitors a count, and dictates whether message processing is permitted or prohibited based on the count. When a message is processed, the count is decremented. When a predetermined time passes without processing a message, the count is incremented. If the count ever reaches a predetermined low threshold value, message processing is prohibited for a predetermined time On the other hand, if the count returns to a predetermined high threshold value, processing is permitted.
Abstract:
A device implementing adaptive gain table selection based at least on coexistence signaling may include at least one processor circuit. The at least one processor circuit may be configured to identify that a packet is scheduled to be received by a receiver and retrieve at least one transmission indicator that indicates whether at least one transmitter is transmitting, where the at least one transmitter is collocated with the receiver within a device. The at least one processor circuit may be further configured to select a first gain table for reception of the packet by the receiver when the at least one transmission indicator indicates that the at least one transmitter is transmitting, otherwise selecting a second gain table for reception of the packet by the receiver. The at least one processor circuit may be further configured to apply gain to the receiver based at least on the selected gain table.
Abstract:
A near field communications (NFC) device is disclosed that is capable of optimizing a gain for received signals. Measurements are made of signals received from an NFC environment and are compared to one or more threshold hold values. Based on the comparison, it is determined whether the measurements indicate underamplification or overamplification. Depending on the results of the analysis, one or more components within the NFC device is adjusted to increase or decrease the gain, respectively. The measurements may be taken during an unloaded baseline state or during loading, and may be compared to previous measurements to estimate their accuracy.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device (alternatively, device) includes a processing circuitry configured to support communications with other wireless communication device(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. In some examples, the device includes a communication interface and a processing circuitry, among other possible circuitries, components, elements, etc. to support communications with other wireless communication device(s) and to generate and process signals for such communications. A device communicates with other devices informing them of energy, power, etc. management operation (e.g., with respect to low power or sleep mode). When the device receives responses from each of the other devices that they are informed of the operation of the device, then device performs such energy, power, etc. management. Alternatively, when response(s) are not received from all of the other devices, the device performs such energy, power, etc. management after a period of time (e.g., number of beacon intervals (BIs)).
Abstract:
A communication system of the present disclosure includes a communication device that is communicatively coupled to a peripheral device. The peripheral device selects a selectable impedance from among multiple selectable impedances to communicate peripheral device information to the communication device. The communication device operates in an acquisition mode of operation to determine the selectable impedance to recover the peripheral device information. Optionally, the communication device can transition to a response mode of operation to respond to the peripheral device information.
