Disclosed is a frame synchronizing apparatus in a receiving equipment for receiving digital signals for PCM communication. The digital signals consists serial signals at a rate of f.sub.0 (bps). The serial signals include a frame synchronizing signal consituting n bits or a part of the frame synchronizing signal, collectively arranged in one frame. To attain a high-speed operation and a shorter synchronization establishing time, the apparatus comprises a latching circuit for converting the serial signals into parallel signals and for latching the parallel signals, and a circuit for detecting a plural number of times of synchronization during the n bit interval in one frame.

An optical bus type communication system comprises a bus type transmission line consisting of an optical fiber, a light source provided at the one end of the bus type transmission line for sending an optical signal having a constant level to the bus type transmission line, a plurality of optical switches mounted on the bus type transmission line, and a plurality of terminal interfaces. Each terminal interface sends data by switching the corresponding optical switch so that the optical signals on the transmission line are modulated with the data.

A method for structuring a communications network based on an asynchronous transfer mode in which communications are held with the use of cells transferred between a node on the upstream side and a node on the downstream side. The method for structuring the network includes a step for preparing a plurality of VPI conversion tables for converting VPIs of the cell input under normal communicating conditions and that of the cell input in the event of a failure and outputting the cell with the VPI converted. The prepared VPI conversion tables are reorganized for each node and the reorganized VPI conversion tables are distributed to all nodes. Then, an alternate route monitoring and switching virtual path is set up in each alternate route and a monitoring cell is periodically transmitted along the alternate route. When a failure occurs, the VPI conversion table is switched over according to the pattern of the failure and the input VPI is converted in accordance with the switched VPI conversion table, and thereby, an alternate virtual path is set up in the relevant alternate route.

A communication system using a network route establishing technique for a network having a plurality of nodes connected through links, in which a route search message is delivered simultaneously in a plurality of directions from a sender node through a network route to a destination node, and a confirmation is delivered from the destination through the network route back to the sender node, and accordingly, a network route is established. The communication system includes a device for detecting, at a node through which a search message is to be transmitted, a possibility of a transmission of the search message beyond the node, a device for delivering a cancel message in the direction from which the search message has been transmitted, and a device for releasing the network route engaged by the search message, based on the delivered cancel message.

A method includes the steps of a failure which occurs in a node or link, and b) identifying at most N (N is an integer equal to or greater than 2) nodes contained in each path affected by the occurrence of the failure. Each path is connected to a sender node which detects the failure, information is transferred to the sender node via the N nodes, and the sender node serves as a start point of each alternate path which is to be established. The method also includes the step of c) broadcasting a restoration message to links which outgo from the sender node, where the restoration message has an identifier of the sender node and identifiers of the N nodes specified for each path affected by the occurrence of the failure. The identifiers of the N nodes specified for each path being candidate nodes of an end point of each alternate path. The method als includes a step of d) determining whether or not a node being considered is one of the candidate nodes, where the node which is one of the candidate nodes is a destination node. Further, the method includes the steps of e) passing the restoration message through a repeater node which is a node other than the candidate nodes, and f) determining a route via which the restoration message has been transferred to the destination node to be an alternate path connected between the sender node and the destination node.
摘要:
A route switching system in a communications network constituted of a transmitter and a receiver connected by a plurality of routes for switching a first route along which communication is being held by transmission of cells to a second route causing no blocking. The route switching system comprises a first switch provided in the transmitter for switching input cells from one route to another and outputting the cells, a first storage portion provided in the transmitter for storing the input cells, a second switch provided in the receiver for switching input cells from one route to another and outputting the cells, and a second storage portion provided in the receiver for storing the input cells. At the time when the route is switched over, the first switch is changed over so that the cells are transmitted through the first storage portion and, on the receiver side, the second switch is changed over so that the cells transmitted over the second route are stored into the second storage portion. The transmitter includes a switching signal generating portion for outputting, at the time of route switching, a switching timing signal to the receiver side through the first switch, and the receiver includes a switching signal detecting portion for detecting the switching timing signal from the switching signal generating portion. When cells are stored into the first and second storage portions while the route is switched over, the cells are stored first into the second storage portion on the receiver side.

The present invention provides a collaboration system that reduces communication traffic, is platform- and OS-independent, and has high versatility. There are provided a collaboration server connected with a plurality of terminal apparatuses through a network for obtaining, retaining, and distributing a Web page as a work screen used in collaborative work among the terminal apparatuses, and a chat server for managing chat sessions. The collaboration server participates as a chat client in a chat session managed by the chat server and distributes an operation instruction concerning the work screen as a chat message to each terminal apparatus. The work screen is reloaded into each terminal apparatus according to the operation instruction to allow the collaborative work to progress.

In a message control apparatus for transferring messages between objects which belong to different processes, a message distributor distributes messages to queue buffers provided for each of target objects, and a thread controller simultaneously prepares a plurality of threads less than a maximum thread allocation number predetermined for each of processes and the target objects and takes out the messages to be given to a corresponding target object. Also, the maximum thread allocation number corresponding to a CPU serviceability ratio in the processes can be designated, and a part of the thread allocation number of the target objects with few thread number used is allotted to the maximum thread allocation number of the target objects with many thread number used.
