Abstract: A method and apparatus for reconfiguring a GPS receiver. A device in accordance with the present invention comprises a Radio Frequency (RF) section, the RF section adaptable to receive at least one GPS signal from at least one GPS satellite; and a baseband section, coupled to the RF section, the baseband section comprising at least one correlator, wherein the at least one correlator is adaptable to reacaquire the at least one GPS signal based on a priori knowledge of the at least one GPS signal.

Abstract: A method and a system for congestion management in a frame relay network, which includes a) buffering of data at the input boundary of a subscriber node to virtual-channel-specific buffers, b) transmitting congestion notifications in a backward direction from the network nodes to the subscriber node of the moment, and c) controlling the amount of traffic supplied towards the network from the subscriber node buffer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for congestion management in an FR network. The method comprises determining the virtual channel associated with a frame to be transmitted when it is received from a subscriber connection at a subscriber node. In order for the load in the network to be reduced, (a) data is buffered at the input boundary of the subscriber node to virtual-channel-specific buffers (62.sub.1 . . . 62.sub.n), (b) the fill rate of said buffers is monitored continuously, and (c) when a frame is received in a virtual-channel-specific buffer which is full, substantially all the contents of the buffer are discarded.
