Flow control arrangement in a network switch based on priority traffic

A network switch includes network switch ports, each including a port filter configured for detecting user-selected attributes from a received layer 2 frame. Each port filter, upon detecting a user-selected attribute in a received layer 2 frame, sends a signal to a switching module indicating the determined presence of the user-selected attribute, for example whether the data packet has a prescribed priority value. The network switch includes a flow control module that determines which of the network switch ports should output a flow control frame based on the determined depletion of network switch resources and based on the corresponding priority value of the network traffic on each network switch port. Hence, any network switch port that receives high priority traffic does not output a flow control frame to the corresponding network station, enabling that network station to continue transmission of the high priority traffic. In most cases, the congestion and depletion of network switch resources can be alleviated by sending flow control frames on only those network switch ports that receive lower priority traffic, enabling the network switch to reduce congestion without interfering with high priority traffic.

Arrangement for providing optimized connections between peer routers in a tree-based ad hoc mobile network

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.

Route calculation method for a vehicle navigation system

Traffic information, including flow information and incident information, obtained through a traffic management system for providing and facilitating the exchange of traffic information between a remote location and a vehicle may be used in route calculation by a navigation device. The navigation device may recalculate a route based on anticipated user error. Alternatively, the navigation device may recalculate a route using received traffic information triggered by the receipt of a traffic information update, or triggered by the passage of an amount of time. The broadcast rate of traffic information updates may vary temporally (providing more frequent updates during peak commute times) or geographically (providing more frequent updates to metropolitan areas with increased traffic information needs). If route calculation is triggered by an elapsed amount of time, the amount of time may vary to be shorter during peak commute times. Additional route calculation techniques allow the incorporation of historical traffic information or the use of the most recent traffic information if incomplete traffic information is available. Still further route calculation techniques may calculate a best route by avoiding zigzagging or evaluating an assigned cost of a potential route.

Peer-to-peer communications on restricted channels

A method and apparatus are provided for conducting peer-to-peer communications while channel hopping among two or more wireless channels, at least one of which is a restricted channel. One type of restricted channel requires the use of DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) or a similar scheme for avoiding use of the channel during certain circumstances (e.g., for radar avoidance). Communicating peers may synchronize a channel-hopping sequence with TBTTs (Target Beacon Transmission Times) of the restricted channel(s), so that they switch to such a channel in time to capture a beacon and determine whether the channel is free. If the channel is free, or if no beacon is received, they may immediately begin or resume their communications. They may also quiesce just before another TBTT so as to capture that beacon. Thus, the peer-to-peer communications do not diminish a peer device's ability to receive and comply with channel switch announcements.

The transmitter / receiver pair exploits whatever delay is permissible, as determined by end-users of the data, for the data stream or streams that are using the channel for the purpose of accommodating periods of excessive instantaneous aggregate data transfer demands. The matched transmitter / receiver pair thereby permits (i) the transmission of a variable rate stream over a channel with capacity less than the peak rate of the stream, or (ii) the multiplexing of variable and / or fixed rate data streams.
