Abstract:
Protocol independent signal slotting and scheduling is provided by receiving a frame including a header and a payload for transmission; in response to determining that the frame matches a rule identifying the frame as part of a control loop, compressing the header according to the rule to produce a compressed packet of a predefined size that includes the compressed header and the payload; scheduling transmission of the compressed packet; and transmitting the compressed packet to a receiving device. In some embodiments, before compressing the frame, in response to determining that a size of the payload does not match a predefined size threshold: the payload is fragmented into a plurality of portions, wherein each portion satisfies the predefined size threshold, or the compressed packet is padded to the predefined size threshold via forward error correction padding information.
Abstract:
Mobile routers in a tree-based network topology with a single clusterhead in an ad hoc network establish connectivity based on each attached mobile router sending a neighbor advertisement message to an attachment mobile router via a corresponding egress interface. Any neighbor advertisement message received by a mobile router is used to identify specified network prefixes that are reachable via the source of the neighbor advertisement message. Each attached mobile router outputs to its attachment router another neighbor advertisement message that specifies the network prefix used by the mobile router, and the specified network prefixes from its attached mobile routers. The mobile router also identifies peer mobile routers having the same depth, and selectively shares limited routing information with the peer routers, enabling the mobile router to bypass the clusterhead and reach remote prefixes via the peer routers without burdening the tree.
Abstract:
Mobile routers (12) in a tree-based network topology with a single clusterhead (12a) in an ad hoc network (10) establish connectivity based on each attached mobile router sending a neighbor advertisement message (16) to an attachment mobile router via a corresponding egress interface. Any neighbor advertisement message (16) received by a mobile router is used to identify specified network prefixes that are reachable via the source of the neighbor advertisement message. Each attached mobile router outputs to its attachment router another neighbor advertisement message that specifies the network prefix (18) used by the mobile router, and the specified network prefixes from its attached mobile routers. The mobile router also identifies peer mobile routers having the same depth, and selectively shares limited routing information with the peer routers, enabling the mobile router to bypass the clusterhead and reach remote prefixes via the peer routers without burdening the tree.
Abstract:
A mobile router and a correspondent router, each configured for routing services for nodes within their routing prefixes associated with their respective routing tables, establish a secure, bidirectional tunnel based on a messaging protocol between each other and a route server resource having a prescribed security relationship with the mobile router and correspondent router. The mobile router sends a query via its home agent to the route server resource to identify the correspondent router serving the correspondent node. The mobile router sends a binding update request, specifying a home address and care-of address for the mobile router, to the correspondent router for establishment of a bidirectional tunnel. The correspondent router, upon validating the home address is reachable via the care-of address, establishes the bidirectional tunnel, and updates its routing tables to specify that prescribed address prefixes are reachable via the mobile router home address.
