    摘要: The invention relates to a method of ensuring the quality of service in a broadcast network (1) which also comprises apparatuses (Q, Z) that do not have their own quality of service functionality. An apparatus operating as a bandwidth manager (BM) monitors the data traffic in the network and, in the case of risk of the ensured quality of service, it sends control messages (A) to the source (Q) of the data stream, which messages cause this source to reduce the data stream. The control messages (A) can be particularly transmitted through the simulated transmitter of the target (Z).

    摘要: The invention relates to a system for providing fault tolerance for at least one micro controller unit, hereinafter called MCU (10). The MCU receives information from at least one sensor (11) coupled to the MCU (10) and outputs information to at least one actuator (12) coupled to the MCU (10). To provide a system for controlling or influencing the fault tolerance or the error processing of at least one MCU without requiring a replication of software or hardware components and which is able to react differently on various events it is proposed to include a System Supervision unit (200), hereinafter called SSU (200), in the MCU (10). The SSU (200) reacts on error reports included in information (301, 302, 303, 325) received at the SSU (200); wherein the SSU (200) is adapted to switch into one of a plurality of predetermined states based on the information (301, 302, 303) received and based on a state history of the MCU (10); and to output at least one instruction to the MCU (10) or to an external control device (230) coupled to the MCU (10) to control at least the MCU (10) and/or the connected devices (11, 12) based on the new state into which the SSU is switched. Such system could be easily adapted to the respective application.

    摘要: Mobile devices (121, 122, . . . , 12n) are handed off in overlapping cells (181, 182, . . . , 18n) by tracking a velocity (speed and direction) of movement of any number of the mobile devices (121, 122, . . . , 12n). Access points (141, 142, . . . , 14n) are each located in an associated operational cell (181, 182, . . . , 18n) and each operates at a dedicated frequency. The initial signal strengths are measured in advance at predefined locations within a defined space (16) to define signal strengths as location map (42). A nearby initial access point (typically the nearest) and at least two nearby (typically next nearest) access points are assigned for one of the mobile devices (121, 122, . . . , 12n), and the frequencies of each access point identified. A tracking processor (50) periodically scans the frequencies of the nearby access points to determine the location velocity of the mobile device and predict when a handoff will be appropriate. E.g., the actual signal strength measurements between the mobile device and the nearby access points are collected and analyzed to determine a proper time for a handoff of one or more of the nearby access points.

    摘要: A method of processing data in a data processor comprising at least two data processing units. The method comprises performing different data processing steps in the data processing units concurrently during a parallel operation, and replicating performances of selected identical data processing steps in the data processing units during a non-synchronised redundant operation. The non-synchronised redundant operation comprises an initial performance of the selected identical data processing steps in one of the data processing units and a replicate performance of the data processing steps starting later than the initial performance, preferably in another of the data processing units. Initial result data representative of results from the initial performance are registered, and compared with replicate result data representative of results from the replicate performance, and an error signal is produced in case of discrepancy.
