摘要:
A switching network for selectively connecting at least one input time-division channel on an input link (IL) to at least one output time-division channel on an output link (OL). The network is organized around a closed-loop link (10) on which circulates a multiplex message carrying 512 time-division exchange channels. The input and output links (LE and LS) are respectively multiplexed onto an input multiplex link (IML) and an output multiplex link (OML) which are coupled to the closed loop (10) by a switching module (SM). Each switching module comprises an input buffer (IB), an output buffer (OB) and a local buffer (LB) the addressing of which is selectively controlled by a time slot counter (CRT) or a corresponding pointer memory. So-called "broadcast" connections coupling one input channel to several output channels, and "in-cast" connections coupling several input channels to one output channel, can be established. Each of these connections uses only one exchange channel.

A modular digital signal processor based on a master-slave architecture has the capability of expanding its processing power by aggregating additional modules in a tree type structure. In such a processor the control functions are subdivided into groups, each for performance in a distinct control unit. One or more of the control units can perform a master function with respect to one or several slaved control units and can itself be a slave to a higher level control unit. The arithmetic data functions of the processor are performed in pipe line multiplier-accumulator units (PMAU), each of which is controlled by, instructions from an associated control unit.

A 3-stage switching system is provided for generating, i.e. finding, reserving and setting, path from one switch entrance port (1) to at least one switch exit port (transmit side) for asynchronously received and buffered data cells. While an Nth cell is being transferred, control means (36) generate a control word including the switch exit port address for cell (N+1)th to be subsequently transferred. Said control word is used to find and reserve a path through the switch on a stage-by-stage basis, and then set said path, if any, using a fed back acknowledgement. The (N+1)th cell path generation is performed during cell N transfer, on a cycle stealing basis.
摘要:
The contents of input time-division channels on a closed-loop link (10LO, 10HI) are stored in a memory (173) at the address supplied by an input address counter (IAC) controlled by an incoming timing signal (2MCR). The memory is read out under control of an output address counter (OAC) controlled by an outgoing timing signal (2MCT). Each time interval is divided into one read period and two write periods. Means (186) are provided to select one of the two write periods dependent on the phase relationship between the incoming and outgoing timing signals. The units connected in series by means of the closed-loop link receive a timing signal circulating on a timing loop (15) that is closed by a master timing device (13). Slave timing devices (18) inserted in the timing loop regenerate the timing signals circulating thereon and check same.
摘要:
A network device architecture comprising a fault-tolerant array of network processing modules, selectively coupled to trunk interface boards through main fabric switch(es) using high-bandwidth communication media and selectively coupled to any of a number of media processing modules using low-bandwidth communication media. Network content delivered to the network processing modules for network processing that contain media content are selectively coupled to any of the one or more media processing modules for additional media processing before passing the processed content to the next hop in the path towards the destination computing appliance.
摘要:
Multiple voice channels are aggregated into a packet having a segmented data structure and sent over a packet network. The segmented data structure includes segment IDs, corresponding data segments and a packet header arranged so that all data is aligned on 8-byte boundaries for efficient processing by 64-bit processors. The data segment represents one or more milliseconds of digitized voice data, and the segment ID explicitly identifies the voice channel associated with the digitized voice data without reference to any other data in the data structure.
摘要:
A method for providing fault tolerant transmission of electrical signals through a transmission device. A number of redundant signals are transmitted through a transmission device, wherein the number of redundant signals per original signal varies dynamically in accordance with selected conditions. These selected conditions are typical of whether the transmission device, typically a switching network, are in normal or overflow operation. Putatively identical signals at corresponding outputs of the transmission device are then compared and at least one correct output signal is generated therefrom.
摘要:
Embodiments of a network element and method of establishing an internet-protocol communications session between a first device and a second device and generally described herein. In some embodiments, the network element is configured to receive a request from the first device to invite the second device to participate in an IP communications session. The second device may be identified in the request by a network identifier. The network element may relate the network identifier to a mobile IP (MIP) address of the second device and a second IP address. The network element may send an invitation to the MIP address of the second device. The invitation may include a MIP address of the first device and a first IP address. The first device establishes an IP connection for an IP communications session with the second device using the MIP address of the second device and the second IP address.

A method is performed by one or more network elements for voice-over-IP (VoIP) communications. The method includes receiving a request from a first mobile device to invite a second mobile device to participate in a VoIP session. The second device may be identified in the request by a network identifier. The network identifier is related to a mobile IP (MIP) address of the second device and a second IP address. An invitation is sent to the MIP address of the second device which may include a MIP address of the first device and a first IP address. A response to the invitation may be received from the second device. The response may be modified to include a first IP header that includes the MIP address of the second device and a second IP header to include the second IP address. The modified response is forwarded to the first device. After receipt of the modified response, the first device is configured to establish an IP connection for VoIP communication with the second device.
