  • Patent number: 8254259
    Abstract: At least one timer is used to prevent a stall condition. If a timer is not active, the timer is started for a data block that is correctly received. The data block has a sequence number higher than a sequence number of another data block that was first expected to be received. When the timer is stopped or expires, all correctly received data blocks among data blocks up to and including a data block having a sequence number that is immediately before the sequence number of the data block for which the timer was started is delivered to a higher layer. Further, all correctly received data blocks up to a first missing data block, including the data block for which the timer was started, is delivered to the higher layer.

  • Publication number: 20120215370
    Abstract: Provided is a network system, which includes an advanced metering infrastructure, a communication device, and an energy management system. The advanced metering infrastructure is configured to measure energy supplied from a power supply source. The communication device is configured to communicate energy information related with the energy. The energy management system recognizes the energy information to control driving of an electric product. The energy management system limits a function of at least one part of power consumption units constituting the electric product, based on whether the recognized energy information is an on-peak time period. Thus, the concentration of power consumptions can be removed, so that a power supplier can effectively manage power consumptions and a consumer can save electricity costs and energy.
