摘要： A method of allocating bandwidth for transmitting upstream cells from a CPE unit to a BTS. The CPE determines arrival time information associated with each cell and sends arrival time information associated with at least one cell to the BTS. The BTS allocates future bandwidth to the CPE as a function of the arrival time information received from the CPE. For example, the BTS estimates the number of cell arrivals occurring in the current scheduling period based on past cell arrival times. The BTS then sends information to the CPE in which the allocated future bandwidth is specified. Finally, the CPE groups a number of cells into a burst packet occupying the allocated bandwidth and sends the burst packet to the BTS. Rather than respond in a delayed manner to a bandwidth deficiency or surplus at an individual CPE unit, the BTS produces an estimate of a CPE unit's bandwidth demands, resulting in more efficient bandwidth utilization and reduced cell loss ratio.

摘要： Various techniques for queue management based on random early detection (RED) are disclosed herein. In particular, a method for generating a drop probability for an incoming packet in a device having a queue to buffer packets between segments of a network is provided. The method comprises determining, upon receipt of an incoming packet, a size of the queue and determining an error based at least in part on a difference between the queue size and a threshold. The method further comprises determining a drop probability for the incoming packet based at least in part on the error and a constant gain factor. The constant gain factor may be based at least in part on a linearized second order dynamic model of the network.

摘要： An improved buffer management process is disclosed wherein the buffer is shared among a plurality of packet queues. The improved buffer management process comprises computing a common queue threshold value based upon the aggregate size of the plurality of packet queues and a predetermined buffer threshold value. The common queue threshold value is then used to manage the size of each of the plurality of packet queues and thereby manage the buffer.

摘要： A method, system and master service interface transfer differential timing over a packet network. The transmitting service interface receives a service clock and is coupled to a receiving service interface through a network backplane. A primary reference clock is provided to time the network backplane. The primary reference clock and the service clock are used to synthesize a copy of the service clock connected to the transmitting service interface. A first control word containing an error differential between the service clock and the synthesized copy of the service clock is generated and transmitted through the network backplane via a packet. The first control word, together with the primary reference clock, is used to recreate the service clock for timing the receiving service interface.

摘要： In response to a network topology change, a clock root node calculates a new clock path for each affected node by building a clock source topology tree, and identifying from that tree a path to the network node from a clock source of higher or equal stratum relative to that network node. The root node then sends a network message to each node indicating the new path that the node should use. Each node receives the message and compares the new path with the existing path. If the paths are different then the node acquires the new path just received in the message. If the paths are the same then the node does nothing and discards the message.

摘要： A timestamp-based all digital phase locked loop is utilized for clock synchronization for Circuit Emulation Service (“CES”) over packet networks. The all digital phase locked loop at a CES receiver includes a phase detector, a loop filter, a digital oscillator and a timestamp counter. The all digital phase locked loop enables the CES receiver to synchronize a local clock at the receiver with a clock at a CES transmitter, where indications of transmitter clock signals are communicated to the receiver as timestamps. The phase detector is operable to compute an error signal indicative of differences between the timestamps and a local clock signal. The loop filter is operable to reduce jitter and noise in the error signal, and thereby produce a control signal. The digital oscillator is operable to oscillate at a frequency based at least in-part on the control signal, and thereby produce a digital oscillator output signal. The timestamp counter operable to count pulses in the digital oscillator output signal, and output the local clock signal.

摘要： A rotator switch including more tandem buffers than inputs is disclosed. An input data conditioner formats data to be transferred from the multiple inputs to the tandem buffers. Excess tandem buffers allow data to be transferred from inputs to tandem buffers at a rate less than the rate at which data arrives at the inputs. Excess capacity of the switch fabric may be used to carry overhead, or slow the rate at which data is transferred to the switch fabric.

摘要： A technique for synchronizing clocks in a network is disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, the technique may be realized as a method for synchronizing clocks in a network. The method comprises receiving a first timestamp and a second timestamp, each indicating a respective time instance as determined by a first clock signal within the network. The method also comprises measuring a first time interval between the first timestamp and the second timestamp. The method further comprises generating a difference signal representing a difference between the first time interval and a second time interval, and generating a second clock signal based upon the difference signal such that the second clock signal is synchronized with the first clock signal.

摘要： A method of encoding a plurality of pre-defined codes into a search key and a method of using the search key to locate a longest matching pre-defined code to a given code is disclosed. Encoding the pre-defined codes into a search key involves producing a prefix node bit array (PNBA) having a plurality of bit positions corresponding to possible bit combinations of a bit string having a length equal to or less than the longest predefined code in said plurality of said pre-defined codes such that said bit positions are arranged by the lengths of said possible bit combinations and by numeric value of said possible bit combinations and to setting bits active in bit positions which correspond to bit combinations identified by said pre-defined codes. The method of locating involves producing a search mask encoding at least one portion of said given code and comparing said search mask to a search key having a Prefix Node Bit Array (PNBA) in which a bit is set active in at least one of a plurality of bit positions corresponding to possible bit combinations of bits in a bit string having a length equal to or less than the longest predefined code in said plurality of said pre-defined codes and arranged by the lengths of said possible bit combinations and by numeric values of said bit combinations, to identify a common active bit position in said search key and said search mask corresponding to a one of said pre-defined codes having a length greater than all others of said pre-defined codes which correspond to common active bit positions.
