  • Signaling protocol for multilink access network-local exchange interfaces
    Patent number: 5822420
    Abstract: A protocol for multilink access network-local exchange (AN-LE) interfaces is provided for common channel signaling on all AN-LE links and the transfer of calls and control to operational links upon detection of a link failure. The protocol permits the AN to assign channels on an AN-LE link and is error-tolerant and self-aligning.

  • Distributed predictive and event-driven processing environment
    Patent number: 5778059
    Abstract: A distributed, predictive, event-driven processing environment is provided for controlling a number of elements characterized by different states and events. Transitions between states are reflected by predictive, event-driven, independent functions provided in the action subroutines and do not require state searches associated with fixed state machines. Action subroutines can be grouped together in various service groups which require similar event processing. Service groups are invoked by an action subroutine manager which can also access a application programming interface set. Processing of different elements can be spread across multiple processors or a single processor with the action subroutines having no knowledge of the number of processors.

  • Modular user programmable telecommunications system with distributed processing
    Patent number: 5291479
    Abstract: A telecommunications system is provided to connect a plurality of dissimilar types of subscriber telecommunications devices and to provide integrated telecommunications services. The system is provided with a digital communications link comprising a PCM bus for voice and data and an HDLC coded PCM highway for control signals to create a master slave environment, wherein a central processing board operates as a master processor for a plurality of peripheral processor boards. The peripheral boards are coupled to various subscriber telecommunications devices. The CPU board is provided with hierarchical program control that includes low level program code for driving CPU board components, and mid-level program code for effecting system functions and CPU board functions. The mid-level code can also be used to create data bases relating to system configuration as well as data bases for each port associated with the peripheral boards.
