  • Patent number: 10747449
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system is provided with a nonvolatile memory, a controller, a volatile memory and an address translation table. The address translation table includes a high level and a plurality of low levels. The high level indicates positions in the nonvolatile memory in which the low levels are recorded. The low levels indicate positions in the nonvolatile memory in which data is recorded. The controller holds the high level of the address translation table in the first area of the volatile memory, and shuts off the supply of power to the second area of the volatile memory based on a transition from a normal-power state to a low-power state.

  • Patent number: 7756127
    Abstract: An efficient retransmission control method, whereby a wasteful retransmission request and retransmission of a packet are not carried out when packet loss occurs. A receiving unit sends the received retransmission request information to a retransmission determining unit. When receiving the retransmission request information, the retransmission determining unit reads out refresh data time information, packet type information of the packet for which a retransmission request is issued, and the time information thereof from a packet information monitoring unit. The retransmission determining unit makes a determination as to whether or not to issue a retransmission request using the read-out refresh data time information, packet type information of the packet for which a retransmission request is issued, and the time information thereof.
