  • Patent number: 11284229
    Abstract: A sensor control circuit periodically transmits packets in synchronism with a one-by-one monotonous change in count values from a real-time clock circuit. The count values repeat the change within a predetermined numerical value range. The sensor control circuit transmits the count values by adding them to the packets. A collection control circuit acquires values of a reference clock synchronized with a reference time of an upper network from a reference clock generation circuit in accordance with reception of the packets, stores the values in a storage circuit as time stamps representing arrival times of the packets, performs statistical processing of the time stamps and the count values concerning the packets received, and corrects the time stamps based on an packet transmission interval and a reference arrival time representing the arrival time of a head packet, which are obtained from the statistical processing.

  • Patent number: 11202250
    Abstract: A communication method, including, when a terminal device is in an idle mode or an inactive mode, a first control plane functional entity that obtains access network information of the terminal device and sends context information of the terminal device to an access network device corresponding to the access network information. Therefore, when the terminal device is in the idle mode or the inactive mode, the first control plane functional entity obtains the access network information of the terminal device and pre-sends the context information of the terminal device to the access network device corresponding to the access network information. When the terminal device needs to transmit data, the terminal device does not need to wait for the process of transmitting the context information of the terminal device, thereby facilitating reducing a delay.

  • Patent number: 11159444
    Abstract: A packet processing device includes a first unit, a second unit, and a switching unit. The first unit counts the number of arrived packets in a first period that is from the time slot present after a priority section up to the end of the initial time slot in the subsequently-arriving priority section. When the counted number of arrived packets is positive, the first unit determines that forward mismatch has occurred in an observation cycle. The second unit counts the number of arrived packets in a second period which is from the time slot present immediately after the priority section in the first period of time up to the end of the initial time slot of burst sections in the subsequently-arriving priority section. When the counted number of arrived packets is “0”, the second unit determines that backward mismatch has occurred in the observation cycle.
