Abstract: A congestion control system for packet communications networks in which access to the network is controlled to prevent such congestion. Packets within the pre-specified statistical description of each packet source are marked as high priority ("green" packets) while packets exceeding the pre-specified characteristics are marked with a lower priority ("red" packets). The overall red packet rate is limited to prevent red packet saturation of the network. The introduction of red packets into the network is subjected to a degree of hysteresis to provide better interaction with higher layer error recovery protocols. The amount of hysteresis introduced into the red packet marking can be fixed or varied, depending on the statistics of the incoming data packets at the entry point to the network.

Abstract: A Medium Access (MAC) Protocol is utilized for wireless radio access for a plurality of remote stations to a base station on a LAN. The MAC protocol is based on a reservation scheme for user data traffic and a random access technique for control and signalling traffic. There is a time division fixed frame structure in which time is slotted, and time slots are grouped into fixed frames consisting of data and control subframes or periods. The fixed frame structure consists of three periods (A, B, and C) along with their respective headers. The first period, the A period, is the outbound channel which is used exclusively for data transfer from the base station to the remote stations. The following period, the B period, is the inbound channel that is used for contention-free data transfer from the remote stations to the base station. The allocation of the data slots in the A and B periods is performed by the base station. The last period of the frame, designated as the C period, is the control channel used for the transmission of reservation requests and data from the remote stations to the base station in a random-access contention mode using a slotted Aloha protocol. The duration of the three periods may be varied using a movable boundary technique. The base station estimates the number of actively transmitting remote stations utilizing feedback information from the remote stations. This estimate is broadcast to the remote stations as control indicia to control their transmission attempts in the C period, thus yielding high transmission efficiency.

Abstract: In a switching system interconnecting transmission links (21-i, 23-i) on which circuit switched (CS) and packet switched (PS) information is transferred, a switch fabric (11) is provided which interconnects a plurality of input ports (15-i) to a plurality of output ports (19-i). The information arriving on incoming links is converted in switch adapters (13-i) to uniform minipackets, each having a routing address designating the required output port. The switch fabric consists of parallel equal switching slices, e.g. binary routing trees (71), which transfer in a non-blocking manner each minipacket from its input port to one output port in response to the routing address. Collecting means (73, 75) are provided at each output port for accepting the minipackets arriving from the different input ports.

Abstract: A method of dynamically allocating bandwidth of channels to cells in a communications cellular network according to user demand. Disjoint groups of cells are formed so as to minimize interference within each group, and a particular channel is assigned to each of the groups. The bandwidth of each channel then dynamically allocated by time division to each of the cells in a group according to user demand in each of the cells.

Abstract: A communications network having a number of routers, a number of base stations and a number of mobile units maintains communications with the mobile units by assigning a unique address known to the routing entities of the network to each mobile unit. By including the mobile units unique address in topology updates of the network, the location of the mobile unit at any time is made known to all routers of the network. That is, once a mobile unit moves into a domain of a new access point and establishes a new link with the new access point, it uses the topology update mechanism of the network to make its new location known to all routers. Once a router of the network receives topology update information specific to the mobile unit's new location, it updates its routing table such that packets destined to the mobile unit are routed in a path which terminates at the mobile unit and contains its new access point.

Abstract: In a packet communications network, the addition or deletion of a connection to the network by a user is governed by a link traffic metric which represents the effective capacity of each link in the network which participates in the packet connection route. The link metric is calculated in real-time and updated by simple vector addition or subtraction. Moreover, this link metric is also used to calculate leaky bucket parameters which govern the access of packet s to the network once the connection is set up. A packet network using these link metrics and metric generation techniques provides maximum packet throughput while, at the same time, preserving grade of service guarantees.
