Title: Distributed chassis architecture having integrated service appliances
Inventor: CAMPBELL ALEXANDER PHILIP
IPC: H04L49/115
Filed: 2012-06-15
Abstract: A distributed virtual chassis comprises scaled-out fabric coupler (SFC) boxes. Each SFC box has fabric ports and a cell-based switch fabric for switching cells associated with a packet among the SFC fabric ports of that SFC box. Distributed line cards (DLCs) include switching DLCs and an appliance DLC (A-DLC). Each switching DLC has network ports. Each switching DLC and A-DLC has DLC fabric ports. Each switching DLC and A-DLC is connected to each of the SFC boxes. The A-DLC provides an upper layer service for packets arriving on the network ports of the switching DLCs. To forward a packet to the A-DLC, a switching DLC divides the packet into cells and distributes the cells among the SFC boxes. The SFC boxes forward the cells to the A-DLC, and the A-DLC reassembles the packet from the cells and provides the upper layer service to the packet.

Title: Pre-distortion compensation for voltage controlled oscillators
Inventor: MOHAMMED ALLOULAH
IPC: H04L27/36
Filed: 2016-07-14
Abstract: The invention relates to control of a voltage controlled oscillator that may form part of a polar modulator, e.g. in an OFDM transmitter. The invention provides a method of correcting errors in the output of a VCO arising from the non-linearity of the VCO, and also quantisation errors. The invention estimates errors based on a mathematical model, accumulates the estimated errors over a number of input samples, and periodically provides a correction factor to the VCO. The method includes the steps of receiving a phase modulating signal comprising a sequence of samples, each sample indicating a required frequency deviation, mapping the required frequency deviation of each sample to a second allowed frequency deviation value selected from a set of allowed values, and using the second value to control the VCO input. The method also includes the steps of determining a frequency deviation correction factor using a predetermined number of samples, and modifying the VCO input using this factor, which is an estimate of the accumulated discrepancy between the required frequency deviations and the respective second allowed frequency deviation values.
