  • Method and apparatus for rendering a cell-based switch useful for frame based application protocols
    Patent number: 7394814
    Abstract: A method for providing an early packet termination such that prior to the complete transmission of the number of cells specified in the first cell of a packet, a crossbar connection is released. The act of releasing the connection is triggered on recognition of an End of Packet bit (EOP) set in any cell of the stream. The feature can be enabled, for example, by a specific act of setting a register bit, connecting a pin to Vcc or ground or some other intentional act. The feature will default to the inactive state upon reset.

  • Method and device for intermediate storage of subscriber data during a relocation of a mobile subscriber within a mobile communication network
    Publication number: 20060251018
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for the intermediate storage of subscriber data during the relocation of a mobile subscriber (MS) within a mobile communication network. According to the invention, once the data transmission path has moved from a switching network node (old SGSN), which is originally responsible for the subscriber, to a switching network node (new SGSN), which is to become responsible for the subscriber, the data packets are intermediately stored in the last switching network node until the subscriber data for the new data transmission path is located in the last switching network node.
