摘要:
The various embodiments of the invention relate to analyzing operations of an emulated input-output processor. Instructions native to the first type of instruction processor are emulated on a second-type instruction processor. The instruction processor emulator executes an operating system that includes instructions native to the first type of instruction processor. The operating system includes instructions that write input/output (IO) requests to the memory arrangement in response to IO functions invoked by a program. An IOP emulator that is executable on the second-type processor emulates IOP processing of IO requests from the memory arrangement. The IOP emulator maintains in the memory arrangement a first set of data structures used in processing the IO requests. State data currently contained in the data structures is stored on a retentive storage device, and in response to user input controls, the state data is read from retentive storage and displayed.

A system and method is described for saving power in a wireless network, using a physical layer address filtering protocol based on a partial address subset of the complete destination MAC address. The system comprises a PHY layer filtering protocol for generating the partial address and writing the partial address into a PHY layer header portion (e.g., PLCP header) of a sending station, or reading the partial address from the PHY layer header portion upon transmission of each frame. A receiving station receives and decodes these PHY layer header portion bits, in accordance with the protocol, and compares whether the subset of bits match that of the stations' own partial address. If a station finds a match, the station then continues further decoding the frame at PHY layer and send the complete frame to the MAC layer for further processing. The stations that do not have a match will not activate their MAC layer components. Thus, the stations of the network will avoid wasting power decoding a significant portion of the complete frame of other stations of the wireless local area networks and unnecessary MAC layer processing. When group addressed, control/management frames or other such frames are detected at the sending station, the address filtering protocol may be “disabled” using a partial address containing a predetermined value (e.g., all zeros).

A new system and method is described, utilizing a scheduler based on a transmission power consumption calculation and prioritizing algorithm. The system utilizes the (APSD) protocol specified in the 802.11e draft for saving power in wireless local area networks. The system comprises an access point having a priority queue, one or more stations, an APSD frame comprising an association ID for identifying one of the stations and a scheduled wake-up time for the identified station. An algorithm is employed for calculating the total transmission power consumption of downlink data for the stations. The AP originates and transmits to the one or more stations the APSD frame of the scheduled activation delay time. The current data to be transmitted to each station is accessed by the algorithm to determine the total transmission power consumption to each station. A priority queue in the AP is ordered from the lowest to the highest receiving power consumption, assigning the highest priority to the lowest power consumption transmission to minimize total power consumption to the PS stations in the AP queue.

System and method for scheduling messages in a digital communications system with reduced system resource requirements. A preferred embodiment comprises a plurality of traffic queues (such as traffic queue 410) used to enqueue message of differing traffic types and a first scheduler (such as priority scheduler 430). The first scheduler to select messages from the traffic queues and provide them to a plurality of priority queues (such as priority queue 455) used to enqueue messages of differing priorities. A second scheduler (such as priority scheduler 475) then selects messages for transmission based on message priority, transmission opportunity, and time to transmit.

An arrangement avoids contention on a communication medium among devices including at least a transmitter and a receiver. The arrangement involves a first portion configured to instruct a receiver to indicate that the communication medium is busy for a time period substantially longer than an actual frame transmission period being sent from the transmitter to the receiver, and a second portion configured to prohibit the receiver from transmitting on the communication medium during the time period.

The present invention discloses an active/standby switching method,which includes: sending, by a first system control unit, a detection packet to a peer network element according to a set detection cycle; when the first system control unit receives an active/standby switching instruction, stopping sending the detection packet, so that transmission link switching is triggered when the first system control unit stops sending the detection packet in a set timeout period, and simultaneously starting, by the first system control unit, a switching timer; and when it is detects that a value of the switching timer reaches a switching timing value, performing a reset operation to complete active/standby switching, where the switching timing value is greater than the timeout period. Therefore, in the situation that active/standby switching is performed, a packet loss of a service data packet is reduced, and service continuity and reliability are ensured.

The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for asynchronous communication in wireless sensor networks. Each sensor includes a transmitter normally operating in a sleep mode, a low power receiver having a memory, a sensing module, and a processor normally operating in a sleep mode communicably coupled to the transmitter, the low power receiver and the sensing module. Data is received via the low power receiver and stored in the memory. Whenever a wakeup time occurs, the transmitter and the processor are put in an operational mode, sensory data is obtained from the sensing module, the sensory data is processed, the received data is obtained from the low power receiver memory, the processed sensory data and the received data are transmitted via the transmitter, and the transmitter and the processor are put in the sleep mode.
摘要:
A method for implementing a plurality of backoff counters on a hardware backoff counter for use in implementing a prioritized message transmission network is presented. A message with a smallest backoff time is selected and placed into the hardware backoff counter. When the hardware backoff counter expires, the message is transmitted. Whenever the communications medium becomes busy, the backoff time for every message is updated.
