  • Patent number: 8990413
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for orchestrating or coordinating interactions between different types of networks such as a legacy network and a next generation network. According to one embodiment, a method for coordinating interactions between different types of networks can comprise receiving at a service layer component a communication in a communication session from a first communication network. The communication can be in a first protocol. The communication can be translated from the first protocol to a second protocol with the service layer component, wherein the first protocol is different from the second protocol. One or more additional service layer components for providing at least one service in the communication session can be identified with an application dispatcher of the service layer component. The translated communication can be dispatched to the one or more additional service layer components from the application dispatcher.

  • Patent number: 8885506
    Abstract: Energy efficient Ethernet with asymmetric low power idle. Low power idle mode is typically leveraged when both direction of a link do not have data traffic to transmit. Such a requirement reduces the application of low power idle due to the frequent existence of data traffic in only one direction. An asymmetric low power idle mode enables reduction in power consumption and signal emissions even when one direction has data traffic to transmit.

  • Patent number: 8861543
    Abstract: A communication device and methods are disclosed. A first throughput is calculated when a current modulation scheme and a current encoding rate is changed, and a second throughput is calculated when a current retransmission unit is changed. The current modulation scheme and the current encoding rate are changed to provide a changed modulation scheme and a changed encoding rate, if the first throughput is greater than or equal to the second throughput when prescribed conditions are met. The current retransmission unit is changed to provide a changed retransmission unit, if the first throughput is less than the second throughput. Information is transmitted to a communication device of a communication partner based on the changed modulation scheme, the changed encoding rate, and the changed retransmission unit.

  • Patent number: 8773964
    Abstract: Synchronous CDMA/spread spectrum methods, devices, and systems are used to suppress crosstalk in clock-forwarded on-chip interconnects. Transmitting a spread spectrum signal across on-chip interconnects for recovery at the terminus permit integrated chip designers to overcome the effects of capacitive cross-talk between adjacent data bus lines. The methods, devices, and systems provided herein improve cross-talk immunity between adjacent high speed signal lines by applying synchronous CDMA spread spectrum techniques to some or all of the high speed signal lines. Other methods, devices, and systems provided herein apply synchronous CDMA spread spectrum techniques to the concept of sending phantom signals to reduce the number of signal lines used to carry data.
