Patent number: 9124499Abstract: A frame transmission system includes a frame transmitter and a frame receiver. The frame transmitter includes a frame fragmentation unit and a reproduction header appending unit. The frame fragmentation unit fragments an input frame and outputs transfer frames when the length of the input frame exceeds a predetermined fragmentation reference frame length, and does not fragment the input frame and outputs the input frame as a transfer frame when the length of the input frame is less than or equal to the fragmentation reference frame length. The reproduction header appending unit appends a reproduction header to the transfer frames outputted from the frame fragmentation unit. Here, the reproduction header being required when the transfer frames are reproduced at a receiving side. The reproduction header appending unit varies the header length of the reproduction header to be appended to the transfer frame, according to the length of the input frame.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2013Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignees: FUJITSU TELECOM NETWORKS LIMITED, Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Makoto Takakuwa, Yasushi Nishine, Fumihiko Saito, Takashi Fukagawa, Mika Tokunaga, Toshihiro Koji, Tamotsu Matsuo, Takashi Monzawa, Liu Wang

Patent number: 7415111Abstract: An optical network unit and an optical line terminal which efficiently control the data receiving and dechurning processes in a passive optical network. In a churning parameter memory subsystem, a first memory bank stores churning parameters that are currently used, while a second memory bank stores updates made to the churning parameters. Under the control of the churning parameter memory subsystem, those first and second memory banks change their roles with each other at a churning key updating time point. A data dechurning unit receives a data stream consisting of a plurality of frames and dechurns the information contained in the data stream, according to the stored churning parameters. When an update is done to the parameters in a certain frame, the data dechurning unit makes the update effective at the next frame, thus starting data dechurning operations from the next frame.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2004Date of Patent: August 19, 2008Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Takashi Monzawa, Kenji Miura, Tamotsu Matsuo, Hideki Shiono, Yoshimi Toyoda, Toshinori Koyanagi, Setsuo Abiru, Jun Asato, Shinichi Fujiyoshi, Kazuhiro Uchida, Kazuya Ryu, Katsuhiko Hirashima, Tateo Shimaru, Mitsuharu Wakayoshi, Toshiyuki Sakai

Patent number: 6795398Abstract: In an ATM cell multiplexer which multiplexes ATM cells outputted from a plurality of cards, sequential cell arrival numbers common to the ATM cells outputted from a plurality of cards are added to each of the cells to be written in memories, and the read side checks a sequentiality of the cell arrival numbers whereby the ATM cells are read in the order of arrival and the cell arrival number at that time is used as the cell arrival number to be checked at the next read time. Also, when any of the cards is pulled out, a card not pulled out is operated normally and an address counter of only the pulled-out card is cleared. Even when non-sequentiality of the cell arrival numbers occurs due to the clearance of the address counter, the maximum cell arrival number is set to the value which enables the oldest cells to be read first.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2000Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Yoshimi Toyoda, Kenji Miura, Takashi Monzawa, Tamotsu Matsuo, Jun Asato, Hideki Shiono

Patent number: 6650841Abstract: An optical subscriber line terminal unit and a state transition control method are provided which are capable of stabilizing operation. State information storing means, which is a nonvolatile memory, stores state information about the unit. Startup preparatory state shifting means causes a shift to a startup preparatory state at startup. Flag setting means sets an emergency stop state flag during the period of the startup preparatory state if it is judged based on the state information that a state before the startup is an emergency stop state. State transition control means causes a shift from the startup preparatory state to the emergency stop state if the emergency stop state flag is set, and causes a shift from the startup preparatory state to an initial state if the emergency stop state flag is not set.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1999Date of Patent: November 18, 2003Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Tamotsu Matsuo, Kenji Miura, Takashi Monzawa, Yoshimi Toyoda, Jun Asato, Toshinori Koyanagi, Setsuo Abiru

Patent number: 6647210Abstract: A delay adjustment unit and optical network unit which efficiently adjust the delay time of upstream data to improve the quality of data transmission services. Upstream transmission data is segmented into small data blocks. A downstream receiver receives control information on which upstream data blocks are granted or not granted to the unit. It also received an equalization delay update request that commands the unit to update its current equalization delay parameter. When this equalization delay update request is received, a delay adjustment controller controls the delay of each data block, depending on whether the transmission of each subsequent data block is granted. An upstream transmitter then transmits the granted data blocks with the adjusted delay times.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2000Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Yoshimi Toyoda, Takashi Monzawa, Tamotsu Matsuo, Kenji Miura, Jun Asato, Toshinori Koyanagi, Setsuo Abiru, Toshiyuki Sakai

Patent number: 5544137Abstract: An optical disc record and playback apparatus is provided in which it is possible to record and play back information on erasable discs, as well as write-once discs. When a disc is first inserted into the record and playback apparatus, data written on a control track of the disc is read to identify whether the disc is erasable or write-once. Optimum record and playback parameters are then set depending upon the type of disc. Another aspect of the invention relates to an optical disc in which data representative of the optical sensitivity of the disc is recorded thereon during manufacture. The data is read by the record and playback apparatus and used to adjust the optical recording power so as to compensate for differences in optical sensitivities of different discs.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 1993Date of Patent: August 6, 1996Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shunji Ohara, Tamotsu Matsuo, Kenzou Ishibashi
