Abstract: A waveguide assembly for operation over a range of
temperatures includes a waveguide body and a plurality of restraining
strips coupled to the waveguide body. The waveguide body includes a
pre-curved narrow sidewall of material having a first coefficient of
thermal expansion (CTE). The restraining strips are coupled to the
waveguide body at first and second lateral points on either side of the
pre-curved narrow sidewall laterally and are spaced apart along the
length of the waveguide body, and are made from a material having a
second CTE much less than the first CTE. Thus, when the temperature
of the waveguide assembly changes, the restraining strips maintain a
substantially constant lateral distance between said first and second
lateral points over the range of temperatures such that as the length of
the waveguide varies with temperature, the curvature of the pre-curved
narrow sidewall also changes, causing the effective large dimension of
the waveguide assembly to vary such that the combination of said
changes results in a constant phase length for said waveguide body.

From a grant starting position, a first n requests in a predetermined sequence are identified, where n is less than or equal to the maximum number of connections that can be used in a single packet time to the particular output. The grant starting position is updated in response to the first n grants including a particular grant corresponding to a grant advancement position. In one embodiment, the set of grants generated based on the set of requests is similarly determined using an acceptance starting position and an acceptance advancement position.
