Patent GB-2374954-A (GB)
Title: Profiling computer programs
Inventor: SPIVEY JOHN MICHAEL
IPC: G06F11/36
Filed: 2001-04-26
Abstract: A call-graph profile is created by constructing a finite state machine during execution of a program to be analysed. Each state in the state machine corresponds to an execution context, ie. the set of subroutines that are active in the program at a particular time, together with information about the subroutines that precede and follow their most recent activation on the program's stack. Each transition between states represents a change in execution context taking place on a subroutine call. Each state is represented by a dynamically-allocated record containing a counter that stores the number of times the state has been entered, a counter storing the number of self-transitions made from the state to itself, a timer that stores the total time spent in the state, and data that records the set of subroutines that are active in the execution context. Transitions between states are stored in a hash table whose key is a pair of addresses: the address of the record representing the current state and entry address of the subroutine being called. The profiler also maintains a shadow stack which shadows the subroutine stack of the running program. Each item in the shadow stack is a state of the finite state machine represented by a pointer to the current state record. On entry to a subroutine a new item is added to the stack, and on a return, the stack is popped. After execution the data for each state is written to a file and is then analysed to produce a report for each subroutine giving the time spent in each routine and in its descendents.

Title: Controlling data routing on a network
Inventor: EDWIN RICHARD
IPC: H04L45/28
Filed: 2001-08-31
Abstract: A method of controlling data path routing in a network comprises assigning to a path a priority for connection, reconnection and holding; calculating a route for the path as a series of links between nodes (A to G); allocating resources to the path at each link that it traverses, taking the resources from lower priority paths if required; monitoring for failure of any link and disconnecting any path using the link resulting in path failure according to the holding priority of the path or monitoring for a connect request according to connect priority of the new path; on occurrence of a failure or connect request, searching for a suitable route with free capacity; if no suitable route has free capacity, then searching for a route which has sufficient capacity allocated to paths with a lower holding priority than the reconnect priority of the path where the link has failed, or the connect priority of the new path; taking over at each link the resources of the path with the lower priority, such that the path is re-connected or the new path is connected; and checking that a path with a lower priority whose resources are taken has the lowest holding priority of any such path on each link.

Title: Locating control signals in a mobile communications system
Inventor: BARANY PETER A
IPC: H04W48/12
Filed: 1999-12-02
Abstract: A mobile communications system (10) includes a first link and a second link (e.g., a circuit-switched link and a packet-switched link). When a mobile unit (20) is initialized in the mobile communications system (10), it identifies a first control signal, such as the digital control channel (DCCH) of an IS-136 system, of the first link. From information associated with the first control signal, the mobile unit (20) determines the existence of the second link. From information identifying a current frame structure in the first link, a pointer to the current frame structure of the second link can be derived.

Title: Wireless network security
Inventor: BAYNHAM SIMON HAYDN
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2002-04-30
Abstract: A method of limiting access to a wireless data network to nodes located in a defined operational area. When a a network signal is transmitted within the defined operational area, a signal designed to cause destructive interference with the network signal is transmitted into an area adjacent to the defined operational area. The signal designed to cause destructive interference may be produced by phase and/or amplitude modulating the network signal. The modulation of the network signal may include sweeping the phase and/or amplitude. By this means access to the network signal outside the intended service area is prevented.
