  • Publication number: 20040059886
    Abstract: A method and a system for filtering a data stream in a telecom-munications network. The objective of the invention is to provide a filtering mechanism for a data stream whereby the amount of data in the stream is reduced without using compression and with a minimal loss of channel in-formation content. The system comprises two logically different memories. The first memory (201) is used to store channel control information and the second memory (202) to store channel information according to the control channel information stored in the first memory. The fill rate of the first memory is monitored and the content of the second memory is checked by the control unit (200).

  • Patent number: 6226261
    Abstract: The invention relates to a redundant switching arrangement using a first and second switching network (SWF_A, SWF_B) or other switching element. The switching elements are used to carry out switching operations in the same way, so that one of the switching elements serves as an active switching element whose switching operations are utilised, while the other switching element serves as a passive switching element backing up the active switching element. To ensure that any faults occurring in the switching elements in such a redundant switching arrangement are detected as quickly as possible, their operation is monitored by comparing the data of the corresponding output channels of the first and second switching elements, and if such a comparison shows that the data contained in any of the corresponding output channels are not identical, an internal test is carried out for at least one of the switching elements to verify the data of the output channel involved.
