Title: Method and device for data communication over a shared communication network
Inventor: VIGER PASCAL
IPC: H04W74/08
Filed: 2013-07-17
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to communication networks and more specifically to methods and devices for data communication over a communication network having a medium shared between a plurality of communication nodes. The method comprises: obtaining an estimated frequency at which a second communication node is expected to request an access to the medium to send data to an addressee node; requesting, based on the estimated frequency and prior to the second communication node, an access to the medium to be granted a transmission opportunity 60; and allocating a first transmission period 63 of the granted transmission opportunity, to the second communication node for the latter to send the data to the addressee node.

Title: Embedded memory management scheme for real-time applications
Inventor: JOSHI BIJAL
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2013-07-19
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of allocating the memory in a computer system. The method starts by determining the types of memory that are part of the system and the amount of memory available for use. Next, the type and amount of memory required by a program or application is determined. If the amount of memory space that can be allocated to the program in a first type of requested memory is greater than or equal to the amount of memory space required by the computer program, the program is then loaded into the available memory. If there is not enough of the requested memory available, other types of memory devices are considered and used, if sufficient space in one of them exists. The method may be implemented by a memory manager to dynamically allocate memory to be used by programs to be executed on the host system using the memory devices coupled to the host computer system.

Title: Method and apparatus for supporting reprogramming or reconfiguring
Inventor: LOCATELLI RICCARDO
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2013-10-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a method changing the value in a register associated with a network interface. The method starts by setting a first indicator to a first value which causes an apparatus to stop receiving data from a data source. Next the register is accessed to read or write a new value, then a second indicator set to a first value indicating that accessing of the register is completed. Finally, the first indicator is set to a second value. When the first indicator has the second value and the second indicator has the first value, the apparatus is allowed to receive data from the data source. The indicators may be flags and the register may be a control register. The register may be associated with a service. When the first indicator has the second value and the second indicator has the first value, all outstanding transactions received prior to the data being stopped will have been completed or flushed from a buffer.
