Links and routes may be adapted according to one or more of, among other factors, the relative position of WECs, available capabilities (e.g., communication capabilities) at WECs, availability of resources at WECs, and the physical environment.

Abstract: In an environment in which a macrocell and a plurality of small cells exist, a terminal receives a discovery signal from a first small cell adjacent to the terminal among the plurality of small cells. When the first small cell is in a predetermined state, the terminal measures RRM of the first small cell based on the discovery signal.

Abstract: A method and system for performing a cell selection in case of a handover during co-existence of LTE TDD/FDD networks is provided. The method includes receiving a handover message from a network along with a target cell for the handover. The method includes scanning for primary target cells, upon a failure in detecting the target cell by the User Equipment. The method includes storing the detected primary target cells in a measurement database by the UE. The UE initiates scanning on the stored primary target cells in the measurement database for performing the cell selection during the handover. Further, the UE after the performing the cell selection, sends the re-establishment request message along with the measurement database to the network.

Abstract: A method for indicating one-way latency in a data network, with continuous clock synchronization, between first and second node having clocks that are not synchronized with each other includes a continuous synchronization session and a measurement session. The method repetitively sends predetermined synchronization messages from the first node to the second node and from the second node to the first node, calculates a round trip time for each message at the first node, updates a synchronization point if the calculated round trip time is smaller than a previously calculated round trip time, stores the updated synchronization points of a synchronization window, and calculates a virtual clock from the updated synchronization points of the synchronization window. The measurement session collects multiple measurements of one-way latency between the first and second nodes using the virtual clock, and generates a latency profile by interpolating the multiple measurements.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling users who request a map of a specified route to invoke a data session to see images of the key markers and a video session to see live views of key points along the route are disclosed. If traffic appears congested, the subscriber can request an alternative route from the network along with image and video sessions to verify the traffic conditions of the alternative route.

Abstract: A method and system for channelizing a Passive Optical Network (PON) Media Access Controller (MAC) includes increasing a clock rate of each of one or more PON MAC(s) to create communication lanes each comprising a plurality of N channels. The PONs are channelized according to NX, where N equals a number of ports supported by the MAC and X equals a designated operating PON MAC clocking rate allowing for leveraging of existing Passive Optical Network (PON) infrastructures to provide a more power efficient and physically smaller MAC layer for OLTs.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for performing transmission data rate allocation in a high speed wireless communications network. A macro control loop with the network of base stations on one side and all the subscriber stations on the other side. Subscriber station selects a rate based on the amount of data queued for transmission (100). Adjusts this rate based on the available power headroom of the subscriber station (102). This adjusted transmission rate is then adjusted again to account for protection of base stations in the candidate set of the subscriber station (104). This rate is then adjusted in accordance with busy tone signals indicative of the loading conditions of active set base stations of the subscriber station (108). The base stations react to these action by refreshing measurements of their instantaneous traffic load and providing feedback in the form of soft busy tones. The algorithm is named Closed Loop Resource Allocation.

Abstract: A telephone conferencing system includes a voice services equipment (VSE) allowing a number of telephone calls to be connected together to form a conferencing function. Parties wishing to set up a conference agree on one of their telephone numbers being designated as a “link number”. The conference participants dial into the system and then each enters the link number. The system stores the link number in a link number store when the first caller calls in. The system also checks the caller's calling line identity (CLI) with the entered link number, and the conference will not be enabled unless there is a match; thus, the conference cannot be initiated until the link number participant has called in. Any other participant calling earlier can be put on “hold”. A number of different conferences may be taking place simultaneously, and participants will be grouped together correctly in their conference in accordance with the entered link number.

Abstract: A base-station host system achieves high-speed routing to reduce a burden on a controller which carries out a routing process, and receives a cell containing a plurality of packets (an ATM cell of AAL Type 2) from a base station. A cell containing a plurality of packets is transmitted from the base station to the base-station host system. A packet extracting unit extracts the packets from the received cell. A cell generating unit generates an internally processable cell based on information carried by the payload of a packet. A switch unit switches internally processable cells depending on routes thereof. For reverse communications, internally processable cells are sent from the switch unit to a packet generating unit. The packet generating unit generates packets based on information carried by the payloads of the internally processable cells.

Abstract: In a data processing apparatus, a receiver receives pause control data signals from other data processing apparatuses. Each of the pause control data signals includes identification data of one of the other data processing apparatuses and a transmission interrupting time period. The identification data associated with the transmission interrupting time period is stored in a memory. Also, when a time corresponding to the transmission interrupting time period has passed, the identification data is removed from the memory. Transmission of data to one of the other data processing apparatuses having the identification data stored in the memory is interrupted.

Abstract: In a bus type LAN, the data transmitted from a terminal (14) is detected by an adapter (1) connected to one end of a bus (3), and in response thereto the adapter (1) transmits a pulse signal onto the bus (3). An adapter (2) connected to the other end of the bus (3) receives the data transmitted from the terminal (14) and detects its source terminal address. A difference in time between the arrival of the data from the terminal (14) and the arrival of the pulse signal from the adapter (1) is measured by a counter circuit (21), and the count value obtained is stored in a memory (23), forming a pair with the corresponding source terminal address. Thus, the count value can be obtained for each terminal during the normal operation of the LAN. The data of the memory (23) are extracted by a personal computer (5), where the physical position of each terminal is calculated in accordance with the bus propagation velocity, and is displayed or printed out as a physical constitution diagram.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system are disclosed for organizing data packets in a relational database based on data events. As used herein, a data event has an event start time, an event stop time, and one or more event data indicators. In a process embodiment of the invention, a data packet is read to determine its start time, its stop time, and each of its data indicators. The data packet is then inserted into a particular data event in the relational database if each of the packet's data indicators matches each data indicator of the particular data event, and if the difference between either the event's stop time and the packet's start time or the packet's stop time and the event's start time does not exceed a certain limit. Otherwise, the data packet is added as a new event in the relational database.

Abstract: From an input data signal (Data.sub.-- In) formed of a data signal complied with the MPEG standard including unit packets each formed of a sequence of 204 pieces of 8-bit-long unit data assigned in a sequence of 6-bit-long unit data, the original packet-unit data signal is reconfigured. Data having a length of 8 bits are sequentially extracted from two 6-bit-long unit data successively held in buffers (BS1, BS2). Correctness of the position of the head word of the packet is verified on the basis of whether a synchronizing code (Cd) indicating the head word repeatedly appears in the cycles of packets. It is determined whether a cycle of a packet has passed on the basis of a value counted in synchronization with an extraction signal (Dout), eliminating the necessity for the FIFO required in conventional devices. As a result, size reduction and cost reduction of the device are implemented.

Abstract: Method and system aspects for increasing throughput in a WLAN are provided. In a method aspect, a packet is transmitted from a first end station in the WLAN, the packet including an indication of a next end station in a chain of end stations having data ready for transmission in the WLAN. The method further includes transferring control of access before a predetermined time period has been exceeded to the next end station in the chain of end stations based upon the indicator. In addition, the method includes maintaining access to the network for a plurality of cooperating end stations established through continuous indication of the next end station in the chain of end stations without exceeding a maximum access time.

Abstract: A data bus system is disclosed, including a plurality of nodes coupled together by a daisy chain bus. Each node includes a first and a second bus connection, each having a first and second bidirectional terminal. An arbitration logic is coupled between the first and second bus connection. The node operates in an arbitration mode, during an arbitration time interval, in which the first bidirectional terminal in the first bus connection, and the second bidirectional terminal in the second bus connection are configured to be input terminals, and the second bidirectional terminal in the first bus connection and the first bidirectional terminal in the second bus connection are configured to be output terminals. Then the node operates in a bus access mode in which the first and second bidirectional terminals in the respective first and second bus connections, are both configured to be one of input and output terminals.

Abstract: Access to a switching network of an ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) switch is scheduled with a reservation ring that automatically determines the number of channels populating the switching network during a switch cycle. The reservation ring is a distributed arbiter that resolves conflicts arising among a plurality of input channels for access to a plurality of output channels of the switching network. Each input channel populating the switching network is coupled to an arbitration unit of the reservation ring. The arbitration units on the ring determine when an arbitration cycle is complete for each of the arbitration units populating the ring. This enables the number of channels populating the switching network to increase or decrease without having to reconfigure the reservation ring.
