摘要:
The invention relates to a wireless network defined as a group of wireless terminals and an assigned central station. After receiving requests for the wireless transmission of packets between a transmitting and a receiving terminal during a time multiplex frame, the central station assigns time slots within a following time multiplex frame for the transmission of packets from transmitting to receiving terminals. After reception of all the transmission requests, the central station determines a first subset of the group that intend to transmit to receiving terminals, and a second subset containing all transmitting terminals (of the group) that are not contained in the first subset. An order in which the transmitting terminals of the first subset will transmit is determined in accordance with the decreasing number of receiving terminals assigned to each transmitting terminal. The receiving terminals of the first subset are subdivided into a first group, and into a second group where the second group contains all the receiving terminals not contained in the first group, and the receiving terminals of the second group are selected for reception first in time.

The invention relates to a local area network operating in the asynchronous transfer mode, with a first transceiver (1 to 8, 54 to 57) which includes a radio device (33, 60) for transmitting cells to a plurality of other transceivers (1 to 21, 54 to 57). For a data exchange between the first and the other transceivers (1 to 21, 54 to 57) without cells being blocked, a radio device (49, 60) includes a first buffer memory (73) assigned to a respective other transceiver (1 to 21, 54 to 57). A first buffer memory (73) is used for storing a cell whose destination is another transceiver (1 to 21, 54 to 57) which is assigned to the respective first buffer memory (73).
摘要:
Centrally controlled wireless networks require reliable communications between the central controller and each of the stations within the wireless networks. The structure of a wireless network is often dynamic, or ad-hoc, as stations enter and exit the network, or are physically relocated. The selection of the central controller for the network may also be dynamic, either because the current central controller desires to exit the network, or because the communication between the current central controller and one or more of the stations is poor. This invention discloses a method and apparatus for assessing the quality of the communication paths among all stations in the network. This assessment is useful as a continual monitor of the quality of the network, and can be utilized to select an alternative central control station based upon the quality of communication paths to and from this station. Additionally, the quality assessment can be utilized to establish relay communication paths, as required.

An auxiliary flap is movably arranged on a planar trailing edge of an aerodynamic element such as a wing, rudder, stabilizer, or flap. The auxiliary flap is rotatable and/or slidable relative to the aerodynamic element, to move selectively into three positions. In a first position, a free edge of the auxiliary flap protrudes into an airflow boundary layer on one side of the aerodynamic element, to decrease lift. In a second position, a free edge of the aerodynamic element protrudes into an airflow boundary layer on the other side of the aerodynamic element, to increase lift. In a third neutral position, the auxiliary element does not protrude into either boundary layer, so as not to influence lift. The auxiliary flap is simple and rapidly acting. The flap protrudes substantially perpendicularly into the boundary layer flow. The auxiliary flap has a planar plate shape.

To control and particularly steepen the landing glide path of an aircraft, a respective aerodynamic component mounted on each wingtip includes a fixed plane member and a pivotable control element pivotally connected to the fixed plane member. The pivot axis is perpendicular to the major plane of the wing. The pivotable control element can be selectively pivotally deflected about the pivot axis relative to the fixed plane member, so as to thereby increase the overall drag without influencing the overall lift of the aircraft. This achieves a fine adjustment that is superimposed on the basic landing configuration established by the setting of the flaps, spoilers, engine thrust, etc. By increasing the drag without influencing the lift, this steepens the landing glide path slope.

A method for improving the precision of wind tunnel measurements provides a correction to reduce the influence of a suspension device. A model, such as an aircraft model, is held by the suspension device in a wind tunnel and has multiple suspension wires. By attaching one or more sleeves to each suspension wire, a plurality of measurements with identical model configuration are capable of providing data for extrapolating corrected measurement values for a plurality of aerodynamic characteristic variables measurable in a wind tunnel. Examples of sleeves include a slit along the sleeve length and an inner diameter of the sleeves selected such that the sleeve is capable of being pressed onto and removed from a suspension wire or a sleeve of lesser outer diameter.
