  • Method to share available bandwidth, a processor realizing such a method, and a scheduler, an intelligent buffer and a telecommunication system including such a processor
    Patent number: 6469982
    Abstract: The method shares available bandwidth on a common link in a communication network among a plurality of data flows which are transmitted via the common link. The method is used by a processor and includes sharing reserved bandwidth included in the available bandwidth among the plurality of data flows, and sharing unreserved bandwidth among the plurality of data flows according to a respective unreserved data packet share which is associated to each one of the plurality of data flows. The unreserved bandwidth is included in the available bandwidth in excess of the reserved bandwidth. The sharing of the unreserved bandwidth includes associating to one of the plurality of data flows a respective adaptable administrative weight and determining the respective unreserved data packet share which is associated to the one data flow as a function of its respective adaptable administrative weight.

  • Output circuit for digital integrated circuit devices
    Patent number: 6194913
    Abstract: An output circuit for digital integrated circuit devices is presented, comprising a driving device with adjustable drive capability for generating an output pulse (OS), means (SENS) for monitoring the steepness of the output pulse (OS), and means (SEL) adjusting the drive capability of the driving device so as to minimize the difference between the monitored steepness and a predetermined steepness. In a preferred embodiment, said driving device comprises a plurality of driving stages (PM1-NM1, PM2-NM2, PM3-NM3, PM4-NM4, PM5-NM5) which can be activated independently from each other, and the means (SEL) for adjusting the drive capability comprises means for activating one or more driving stages from the plurality of driving stages (PM1-NM1, PM2-NM2, PM3-NM3, PM4-NM4, PM5-NM5).
