摘要： A GPS receiver includes baseband resources for simultaneous determination of carrier frequency shift and code chip offset. Reduction in the power consumption of a receiver is achieved by managing the sampling rate of an analog-to-digital converter, the intermediate frequency of the RF front end, and the front end bandwidth so these are appropriate to the current function of the receiver. In a GPS receiver during signal tracking, the IF, front end bandwidth, and ADC sampling rate are set as high as possible; during signal acquisition, the IF and front end bandwidth are set to relatively low values, and the ADC sample rate is set to a high value; and during ephemeris download, the IF, front end bandwidth, and the ADC sample rate are set to relatively low values. When a low battery condition is detected, the IF, front end bandwidth, and the ADC sample rate are set to relatively low values regardless of whether the GPS receiver is in the signal acquisition mode, signal tracking mode, or ephemeris download mode.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed for distributed resequencing and distributed reassembly of large packets split into smaller packets with each packet typically marked with a sequence number, timestamp, or other ordering and reassembly indications, and distributed among different paths and arriving possibly out of their original sequence. Multiple resequencing components communicated information as to received packets and coordinate the sending of packets from themselves, typically to produce a stream of resequenced packets which is then distributed to multiple reassembly components, which communicate information as to received packets and coordinate the sending of packets from themselves so as to produce the reassembled larger packets. When all packets comprising a larger packet are received by one of the distributed resequencing components, the reassembly components transmit their packets typically over a common bus or link in a coordinated fashion as to produce the original larger packet.

摘要： The invention provides a system and system for sharing packet traffic load among a plurality of possible paths. Each packet is associated with a flow, and a hash value is determined for each flow, so as to distribute the sequence of packets into a set of hash buckets. The hash value has a relatively large number of bits, but is divided by the number of possible paths so as to achieve a relatively small modulus value; the modulus value is used to index into a relatively small table associating one selected path with each entry. The modulus value is determined by a relatively small amount of circuitry, simultaneously for a plurality of moduli, and one such modulus value is selected in response to the number of possible paths.

摘要： Traffic information is accumulated and flow control information distributed in a packet switching system. Traffic information is collected in multiple elements, which forward in a coordinated fashion to collecting elements indications of congestion and other types of information. The collecting elements manipulate the received indications and generate flow control messages which are sent to individual sending components of the packet switching system. In one implementation, a switching element maintains for each destination a count of packets within itself which are addressed to the particular destination. An indication of a portion of this collected information is included in a packet header forwarded from each of the elements each packet time. Each of the elements are assigned a different offset, such that they send an indication of a different portion of their collected information, so a view of the traffic conditions and/or buffer occupancies within a packet switching system is efficiently produced.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed for accumulating traffic information and distributing flow control information in a packet switching system. Traffic information is collected in multiple elements and indications of congestion and/or other types of information useful in determining traffic conditions are forwarded to collecting elements. The collecting elements manipulate the received indications and generate flow control messages which are sent to individual sending components. In one implementation, a switching element maintains for each destination a count of packets within itself which are addressed to the particular destination. Indications of this collected information are sent to collecting switching elements. These collecting elements accumulate the information received from multiple sources. The accumulated information is evaluated, and when a congestion condition is located or anticipated, then flow control messages are distributed to all, or a subset of, the packet sources.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed for using barrier phases to synchronize processes and components in a packet switching system, including, for example, but not limited to the use of barrier phases in the coordinated timing of the sending of information (e.g., flow control information) within a packet switching system, and the use of barrier phases in a packet sequence number windowing protocol. In one implementation, elements are assigned to one of multiple ordered sets of a barrier groups, wherein each element of a barrier group must be set to a common barrier state before any element of a next a barrier group can switch to a next barrier state, and once all elements of a particular barrier group switch to a new barrier state, all the elements of the next barrier group begin to switch to the next barrier state.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed using a random indication to map items to paths and to recirculate or delay the sending of a particular item when a destination over its mapped path is unreachable, including, but not limited to the context of sending of packets across multiple paths in a packet switching system. In one implementation, a set of items is buffered, with the set of items including a first and second sets of items. The items in the first set of items are forwarded over a set of paths in a first configuration. The set of paths is reconfigured into a second configuration, and the items in the second set of items are forwarded over the set of paths in the second configuration. In one implementation, a recirculation buffer is used to hold items not immediately sent. In one implementation, the paths are reconfigured in a random fashion.
