  • Patent number: 9935654
    Abstract: In general, a minimum determination capability, adapted for determining one or more minimum values from a set of values, is provided. The minimum determination capability may enable, for a set of values, determination of a first minimum value representing a smallest value of the set of values and a second minimum value representing an approximation of a next-smallest value of the set of values. The minimum determination capability may enable, for a set of values where each of the values is represented as a respective set of bits at a respective set of bit positions, determination of a minimum value of the set of values based on a set of bitwise comparisons performed for the respective bit positions of the values.

  • Patent number: 9923842
    Abstract: A network node (bridge, switch, router) and method for traffic interconnection in a communication network. The node includes an interconnection network or switch fabric having ingress and egress ports in communication with the input and output ports of the node. The interconnection network also includes an interconnector having a retiming module, a permutation module, and a re-alignment module. Data arriving at the node input ports is provided to the ingress queues of the interconnection network where it is queued, if necessary, and then processed through the interconnector so that it can be provided to an appropriate egress port. Data at the egress ports is then provided to output ports for transmission toward its intended destination.

  • Patent number: 9729360
    Abstract: A manner of processing bit-interleaved data traffic in a communication network. In the increasingly-common scenario where data traffic is bit interleaved and scrambled using a PRBS (pseudo-random binary sequence) before it is transmitted from a sender to a receiver, the receiver is configured to receive the transmitted bit stream and decimate it, that is, remove the bits of the bit stream that are allocated for the receiver, prior to descrambling. To accomplish this, the receiver employs an LFSR (linear feedback shift register) similar or identical to the one used by the sender to scramble the data. The LFSR is initialized by employing helper bits inserted by the sender or an initialization unit, and may employ other techniques for phase adjustment or state skipping depending on the nature of the transmitted bit stream.

  • Patent number: 9665483
    Abstract: A manner of processing data for transmission in a data communication network. A node having a main memory and an interleaver is provided. Received data is stored in the main memory and a bandwidth map is prepared. The data is then selectively read out and pre-processed according to the bandwidth map and stored in an interleaver memory. The data is later read out and post-processed before interleaving into a downstream data frame. The pre- and post-processing provide the data in a more efficient form for interleaving.

  • Patent number: 9621360
    Abstract: A system and method for analyzing network power consumption is disclosed. The system and method for analyzing network power consumption includes the steps of specifying at least one service which will run on said network; defining a plurality of resources provisioned in the network, each having an associated power efficiency; associating a network path with the service; calculating a sum of the power efficiencies for the resources of the network path; and outputting the sum to a display device. The system and method for analyzing network power consumption is particularly useful for identifying power consumption efficiencies throughout a communication network.

  • Patent number: 9369207
    Abstract: A manner of providing an energy-efficient two-stage PON using a multistage-PON repeater to forward data traffic and other communications between the first stage and the second stage. The multistage-PON repeater receives BI-PON transmission frames from and OLT and decimates them, forwarding data intended for end devices of the second stage. The multistage-PON repeater rate adapts the transmissions so that faster speeds may be associated with PON first stage communications and slower speeds are associated with PON second stage communications. Many though not all of the multistage-PON components are configured to operate at the slower clock speed, conserving energy. Upstream transmissions from the end devices of the second stage are buffered in the multistage-PON repeater and forwarded to the OLT according to an allocation schedule received from the OLT in a BI-PON frame.

  • Patent number: 8959251
    Abstract: A routing device such as either a 1:N demultiplexer or N:1 multiplexer can provide a power dissipation proportional to log2(N) by augmenting a conventional data demultiplexer/multiplexer with additional control circuitry. The control circuit ensures that control signals that trigger configuration of individual demultiplexer/multiplexer elements are propagated only along a data transmission path. Logic components of the control circuitry enable the multiplexers to be self-configuring and to prevent multiplexers from switching to elements with empty data buffers.

  • Patent number: 8879914
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling traffic in an optical network having a plurality of OLTs for communicating with a plurality of PONs. A traffic controller receives traffic information concerning current traffic volume and, preferably with reference to a rules database, calculates the number of OLTs required to support the current traffic volume. A separate determination may be made whether a network reconfiguration is permitted at this time. If a reconfiguration is permitted, the traffic controller configures a traffic control switch to route the PON traffic to an from only the calculated number of OLTs. The traffic control switch may be implemented using a voltage-controlled optical fiber coupling or electronically, routing the traffic as electrical signals to and from electro-optical converters associated with each PON. The OLTs to be used may be selected by the traffic controller.
