Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for data streaming, the method comprising receiving a plurality of streaming requests from a plurality of user devices (11a, 11b), and streaming data according to the streaming requests, receiving a payload data flow (DC1-DC6), storing the payload data flow (DC1-DC6) during the reception of it, detecting, during the reception of the payload data flow (DC1-DC6), a plurality of identification data groups (IF1-IF7) in the payload data flow (DC1-DC6), creating, at least partly based on the identification data groups (IF1-IF7), during the reception of the payload data flow (DC1-DC6), a plurality of control data portions (1051, 1052), comprising data for linking at least some of the identification data groups (IF1-IF7), and storing, during the reception of the payload data flow (DC1-DC6), the control data portions (1051, 1052), wherein a first control data portion (1051) for a first identification data group (IF4) is stored before a second control data portion (105

Abstract: A system and a method for data storage means includes a set of data storage sub-assemblies and connectable to storage control means adapted to retrieve, for a plurality of simultaneous user applications, data stored in the data storage means. The method divides a data composition into a plurality of payload data subsets, and stores the payload data subsets in the data storage sub-assemblies. The storage control means is adapted to retrieve, for a user application, the payload data subsets in a predetermined retrieving sequence, wherein a sequence of a number of payload data subsets, which number corresponds to the number of data storage sub-assemblies in the set of data storage sub-assemblies, and which payload data subsets follow sequentially one immediately upon the other in the retrieving sequence, are stored in separate ones of the data storage sub-assemblies in the set of data storage sub-assemblies.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for changing the bandwidth of a circuit switched channel in a time division multiplexed network, wherein said channel comprises a set of time slots within each recurring frame of a bitstream between a first node and a second node. According to the invention one or more additional time slots within each recurring frame of said bitstream are reserved, including using, during a period of time, only said set of time slots for transmitting payload data pertaining to said channel while providing, during said period of time, information indicating that said one or more additional time slots are currently not used for transferring payload data. After said period of time, said set of time slots is used as well as said one or more additional time slots on said bitstream for transmitting payload data pertaining to said channel.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for switching data between a set of input bitstreams and a set of output bitstreams in a circuit switched time division multiplexed network is presented. Each bitstream is divided into recurring frames and each frame is divided into time slots. Each one of the input bitstreams is received, and frames of time slot data thereof are temporarily stored in a set of memories. Each of the memories is used for storing frames of a respective bitstream of the input bitstreams. For each frame of each one of the output bitstreams, and sequentially in accordance with the order that the time slot data are to be transmitted in the respective output frame, time slot data is selectively read from frames presently temporarily stored in the set of memories, and is then transmitted into allocated time slots of the output bitstreams.
