Abstract: A novel and improved method for implementing a high-transmission-rate over-the-air interface is described. A transmit system provides an in-phase channel set and a quadrature-phase channel set. The in-phase channel set is used to provide a complete set of orthogonal medium rate control and traffic channels. The quadrature-phase channel set is used to provide a high-rate supplemental channel and an extended set of medium rate channels that are orthogonal to each other and the original medium rate channels. The high-rate supplemental channel is generated over a set of medium rate channels using a short channel code. The medium rate channel are generated using a set of long channel codes.

Abstract: The invention provides a new cost-effective and efficient framework for network management of telecommunications networks by monitoring the network-level concepts of routes and paths. The invention is embodied in a route and path management (RPM) system which includes a data collector for collecting data from the individual network elements, a management server for processing the routing data collected into manageable route and path objects and a graphical unit interface (GUI) for allowing a user to manage and monitor routes and paths in the IP network. By monitoring routes and paths, the RPM provides network managers with the added capability of troubleshooting, performance monitoring, service level planning and provisioning packet forwarding paths between any source-destination endpoints in a network.

Abstract: A CDMA system transmits from a base station to a plurality of mobile stations or from mobile station to base station on a shared frequency band, each mobile station's data being spread by a different spreading code chosen from a set of orthogonal codes. Each receiver in base station or mobile station correlates for its intended data by despreading the signal using its particular one of the orthogonal codes. Under certain transmission delays, the effects of orthogonality may diminish and another mobile station's signal may cross-correlate with a mobile station's signal. If not all of the orthogonal codes are in use, the present invention determines another selection of orthogonal codes that yields lower cross-correlation under current delay conditions.

Abstract: A system for synchronizing the upstream burst transmission in a cable system to a time specified by the cable head end is disclosed. The system includes a free running counter within a cable modem (CM) or network interface unit (NIU), along with logic to capture the value of this free running counter at the time a frame of MPEG-2 SYNC data arrives, to create a time tag stored in memory. A computer within the cable modem or network interface unit has access to the time tags in memory and the contents of a time synchronization message from the head end, also stored in memory. The computer contains a program to calculate the value of the local counter that corresponds to a time to transmit commanded by the cable system head end. The system includes logic within the CM or NIU to initiate an upstream burst transmission when the value of the local counter becomes equal to a calculated value, thus causing the cable modem to initiate its upstream burst transmission precisely at the time commanded by the head end.

Abstract: In order to perform data transmission between a mobile station and a cellular radio network, the cellular radio network comprises a radio access network (104, 105, 106) for processing messages according to a first protocol, and a core network (101, 102, 103) for processing messages according to a second protocol. The mobile station deals with messages according to the first protocol on given lower protocol layers and messages according to the second protocol on a given higher protocol layer. On an adaptation layer (301) located between the higher protocol layer and the lower protocol layers, there is performed an adaptation where the messages according to the first and second protocol are mapped into each other.

Abstract: A Fast Ethernet LAN hub may include a plurality of 100 Mbps ports, each dedicated to a single station or shared with a high speed Ethernet segment. The ports on the Fast Ethernet hub are connected to a low speed 10 Mbps LAN segment through a high speed LAN/low speed LAN bridge port. Because of the mismatch in data transmission rates, the LAN bridge may experience congestion as a result of data flow at the high speed/low speed interface. To minimize the impact on high speed ports, a congestion control system responds to a congested state by identifying 100 Mbps ports currently actively communicating with remote stations through the 10 Mbps port. Any 100 Mbps port identified as supporting a current connection to a network management station is excluded from the set of identified ports. The identified ports are temporarily prevented from sending or receiving data. Other 100 Mbps ports on the hub remain unaffected by the congestion control action.

Abstract: A network packet switch provides access to a network-based computer system. The network packet switch has a public access port and a private access port, and includes a computer-readable medium containing a computer program product for producing management objects that configure the network packet switch. The switch stores a set of management objects, determines attributes of an organization associated with one or more of the management objects, and defines a subset of management objects associated with the organization based on the attributes of the organization. The switch provides the user with the same access to a set of functions defined by the subset of management objects regardless of whether the user accesses the network packet switch by the public access port or the private access port.

Abstract: When a CPU core 53 of a node detects change of data which comes into the node from a load 60 connected thereto on the input side, and thereby the CPU core 53 and a transmission control circuit 52 wake up, the node transmits a frame for waking-up to a transmission line 4. However, when the node receives a frame for waking-up from another node via the transmission line 4 and thereby wakes up, the node does not transmit a frame for waking-up. Thus, an increase in traffic at the time of waking up is reduced and data transmission in a normal operation mode is started soon, so that the speed of data transmission is increased.
