  • Patent number: 11683739
    Abstract: A network device distributes a plurality of symbol blocks, received via a plurality of input streams, to a plurality of output links comprised in a defined connection according to a mapping of the symbol blocks to the output links. Responsive to an input stream of the plurality of input streams being empty such that an expected symbol block is not received, the network device distributes idle data to the output link mapped to the expected symbol block to maintain the mapping of the symbol blocks to the output links. The network device transmits the symbol blocks and idle data over the defined connection via the plurality of output links and according to the distribution.

  • Patent number: 10237804
    Abstract: It is provided a network entity (10) for grouping traffic in a communication network onto a defined connection comprising a plurality of output links (1 . . . L), wherein the traffic comprises a plurality of input streams (1 . . . S+1 . . . S+A), each input stream carrying symbol blocks. The network entity further comprises a scheduler (100) for associating, for all symbol blocks that are to be transmitted during a predetermined time interval, each of the symbol blocks to be transmitted with a corresponding output link according to a one to one correspondence. It is also provided a corresponding network entity for ungrouping traffic, corresponding system and method.

  • Patent number: 7420949
    Abstract: A method of, and system for, reserving timeslots in a TDMA system of a type in which a plurality of subscriber units (CPE) use the same radio channel for transmission during different timeslots to a base station and in which the base station administers the radio channel centrally enable subscriber units to transfer, if appropriate, a transmission request to the base station in the form of a PN (Pseudo-random noise) sequence (e.g., M-sequence, preferred gold, Katsami or orthogonal gold sequence). Transmission requests from different subscriber units can be identified at the base station using the PN sequence, reception time of the PN sequence and/or phase of the PN sequence.
