Inventor: FIGUEIRA NORIVAL R
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1999-11-17
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for making admission decisions in a packet switched network, such as a Differentiated Services (DiffServ) Packet Network.  According to one aspect of the present invention, admission control decisions are based upon local information. An average premiums service bandwidth utilized on an output link of a network device during a predetermined window of time is calculated. A determination regarding whether to accept or reject a request for a premium service flow involving the output link is made based upon the request, a total premium service bandwidth available on the output link, the average premium service bandwidth, and bandwidth request information associated with one or more flows that have been admitted within a predetermined holding time interval. According to another aspect of the present invention, multicast flows are supported. A measure of utilized premium service bandwidth is calculated for each of the output links of a multicast-capable network device. A request for premium service bandwidth for a multicast session is forwarded onto those of the output links specified by a multicast routing protocol which have sufficient premium service bandwidth available to accommodate the request based upon the total premium service bandwidth available on the output link, the measure of utilized premium service bandwidth on the output link, and the request. For each of the output links associated with the multicast session, a link state is maintained. The link state indicates the current state of a state machine that determines the behavior of the multicast-capable network device for the corresponding output link of the multicast session. Multicast packets that are subsequently received are forwarded according to the link states associated with the output links.

Abstract: A signalling method in a wireless digital telecommunication system, where the signals between a base station and a terminal comprise bursts generated from symbols. The symbols comprise at least one stealing symbol indicating, if necessary, the use of a traffic channel for signalling. The symbols are generated from several bits by modulating and the stealing symbol is used for transmitting various signalling messages. A signalling message to be transferred is coded into a code word which is placed into one or more stealing symbols. The code word may be interleaved into the stealing symbols of several bursts. The method can be used, for example, for controlling the transmission power of the mobile station and the base station.

Abstract: A method for controlling drive of an actuator of an active vibration isolation support system allows the waveform of the lift of the actuator to be freely set, while avoiding the generation of heat in the actuator driver and a corresponding increase in the power consumption. Specifically, duty control of the voltage that is applied to the actuator is carried out in each of a large number of consecutive micro time regions such that the waveform of the lift of the actuator can be set freely, and by varying the number of consecutive micro time regions whose duty ratios change with a fixed pattern, the period over which the lift of the actuator changes can be set freely. Moreover, since electrical energy is not wasted as thermal energy in the actuator driver, the problems of heat being generated in the driver and increased power consumption can be avoided.

Abstract: A method and system for determining and using beamform factors for forming beams. Maximum and minimum dependent beamform factors (26 B) of an optimum beam are determined from initial beamform factors and an initial parent population of chromosomes is generated, each chromosome including a gene correponding to a dependent beamform factor and representing an initial candidate beam and subsequent parent populations are generated. A child population (36c) is generated from a parent population by exchanging statistically selected pairs of genes of the parent population and generatin g a mutated population from the child population. A surviving population is selected from the mutated population by comparing the chromosomes of the mutated population with a fitness criteria and selecting the chromosomes of the mutated population. When a chromosome of the surviving population meets the solution criteria, the genes of the surviving population having the best  match are selected to forming a beam.
