Patent number: 10292069Abstract: A method of transmitting packets wherein said packets are comprised in a plurality of flows, the flows comprising flow characteristics controlling admission of incoming flows. A plurality of admitted incoming flows with the same class of service are inserted into a queue. A committed information rate value corresponding to said queue and a bandwidth available for transmission of said queue according to the identified committed information rate value are identified. An order for transmission for the queues is established based on the class of service of the queue and the identified bandwidth. A plurality of cells of the same size are generated from a plurality of frames and the cells are distributed between a plurality of individual transmission channels according to the ordered defined for transmission. A transmitter equipment and a receiver equipment are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2011Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: ALCATEL LUCENTInventors: Marco Pasotti, Paolo Di Prisco, Giuliano Corbetta, Giorgio Barzaghi, Francesco Vodola, Giuseppe De Blasio, Marzio Gerosa, Luca Salgarelli, Francesco Gringoli

Patent number: 8774339Abstract: It is disclosed a network element for a communication network configured to synchronize its local clock to a reference clock signal. The network element comprises: a main board comprising an internal module configured to support an internal synchronization transport protocol, and a connector connected to the internal module; and a pluggable module configured to be removably connected to the connector. The pluggable module is configured to, when connected to the connector: exchange external synchronization information with a further network element, the external synchronization information being formatted according to an external synchronization transport protocol different from the internal synchronization transport protocol; exchange with the internal module internal synchronization information formatted according to the internal synchronization transport protocol; and interface the internal synchronization transport protocol and the external synchronization transport protocol.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2010Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Massimo Belisomi, Alessandro Zecchi, Marzio Gerosa, Giorgio Claudio Mazzurana

Patent number: 8514775Abstract: System and method for improving the use of radio spectrum in transmission of data, according to which the payload information of any known line interface is divided into a plurality of data portions of smaller which are then grouped into packets so as to be subsequently radio transmitted. For transmission of such packets, suitable radio channels are selected. The invention also relates to reception of such radio channels having such packets incorporated therein, wherein the received packets are then transformed into payload information for inputting into corresponding line interfaces.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2008Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Mario Giovanni Frecassetti, Giacomo Mirelli, Marzio Gerosa

Patent number: 8218552Abstract: A method of radio transmitting packets and transmitter. The packets are identified by at least one respective transmission criterion which is selected from either one or a combination of the following criteria: types of services classified in terms of reliability in transmission, bandwidth efficiency in transmission, drop ranking in transmission. The identified packet are assigned an indicator indicative of the selected transmission criterion and are transmitted according to the transmission criterion corresponding to the indicator assigned to the packet.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2009Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Giuseppe Luigi Mandelli, Andrea Galbiati, Marzio Gerosa, Giorgio Barzaghi, Giuseppe De Blasio, Gianluca Boiocchi

Patent number: 8023505Abstract: It is disclosed a method for implementing a circuit emulation service through a packet-switched network, wherein the packet-switched network cooperates with a first interface and a second interface suitable to connect a first user and a second user, respectively, to the packet-switched network. The method comprises: a) at the first interface, receiving a TDM flow from the first user; b) converting the TDM flow in packets formatted according to the circuit emulation service, wherein at least one of the packets comprises a header in turn comprising a redundant field; c) compressing the header into a compressed header by processing the redundant field, and forming a compressed packet comprising the compressed header; d) transmitting the compressed packet through the packet-switched network to the second interface.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2008Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Marzio Gerosa, Thomas Blondel, Giuseppe De Blasio

Publication number: 20080310450Abstract: System and method for passing a constant bit rate signal through an Ethernet interface (TX, RX) wherein an original clock rate (102) of the constant bit rate signal (1) is used for transmitting Ethernet packets (2, 3, 4) containing fragments (20, 30, 40) of the constant bit rate signal (1). At reception the original clock rate is recovered, the packets received are broken and the fragments of the constant bit rate signal are recovered and stored in a storage means. The fragments are then read from the storage using the recovered clock rate thus recovering the original rate of constant bit rate signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2006Publication date: December 18, 2008Applicant: Alcatel LucentInventor: Marzio Gerosa

Patent number: 6338156Abstract: A method of detecting the loss-of-signal condition at the input of a transmission line interface when the input signal is coded. The input signal decoding includes an additional procedure allowing the detection of loss-of-signal condition. Since the pseudo-random sequence of the input signal transitions includes sequences of code violations, the additional procedure, over a certain threshold error rate, corresponding to a number of code violations in a unit of time, detects the loss-of-signal condition.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1998Date of Patent: January 8, 2002Assignee: AlcatelInventors: Gabriele Bartolo, Marzio Gerosa, Daniela Giacomuzzi
