Abstract: A method of connection of a priority call in a wireless communication system able to assign channels making full utilization of system resources and to thereby prevent failure of connection (call loss) of an emergency call or other priority call, which sets a maximum threshold Th.III between a critical threshold Th.IV constituting an upper limit, in terms of hardware, on the number of calls able to be assigned channels in a wireless section, and a design threshold Th.II constituting an upper limit, in terms of software design. It assigns a priority call a channel and connects the call to the exchange side even if the total number of calls exceeds the design threshold Th.II, but if it determines that it is smaller than the maximum threshold Th.III, performs breathing when the total number of calls exceeds the design threshold Th.II, and sends a standby instruction message to the terminal side when it determines that the total number of calls has exceeded the maximum threshold Th.III.

Abstract: Information selectively read out from an information source storing various types of information is repeatedly sent from a center office to a number of terminal equipment units with an error check code added on. The terminal equipment units use the error check code to detect if there is an error in the received information. If the information is received without error, the reception operation is ended for each terminal equipment unit. In this case, there is no interposition of a protocol for confirming if the transmission and reception of the information had been performed normally, so the load on the center office is lightened and it is possible for each of the terminal equipment units to receive the information without error.

Abstract: A questionnaire agency company stores individual information of a number of answerers in a database in a questionnaire agency system. When a client enters desired conditions, answerers who meet the conditions are retrieved automatically. The number of the answerers is presented to the client. When the client approves it, the contents of a questionnaire are sent to the chosen answerers by telephone or facsimile and replies to the questionnaire are collected.

Abstract: A line protection switching system of a duplexed fiber interface shelf makes easily to reconcile conditions of duplexed fiber interface shelves, which perform line switching by employing APS bytes on an ISDN network. The line protection switching system has a pair of duplexed line switching controllers that send a line switching control signal to switch the transmission lines and a pair of duplexed line interface devices operatively connected to the pair of duplexed line switching controllers. An active interface device of the duplexed interface devices receives the line switching control signal only from an active line switching controller of the duplexed line switching controllers and echoes the received control signal back to the duplexed line switching controllers.

Abstract: System for controlling access competition among a plurality of terminals under the DQDB protocol in a B-ISDN where the terminals are electrically connected to a dual bus with a downbus and an upbus extending from a network terminal. Each of the terminals has data transmission processor, downbus processor, upbus processor, a timer and failure detector. When data transmission request is issued from the data transmission processor, the failure detector is activated in response to a request to start the timer so as to count a given time interval which has elapsed. If either a request message or data cannot be sent even when the timer reaches a predetermined value, the failure detects signals that a failure has occurred in the dual bus.
