Embodiments described herein relate to techniques, tools and processes for analyzing a computer system and determining the type and capabilities of hardware and software components resident on the computer system. This information can then be used for multiple different purposes. For example, the information may be used for (1) communicating an individual computer's ability to effectively operate a specific computer software and / or computer hardware product, (2) relaying the information to a technical support operation to allow a more rapid response, or (3) making a simple evaluation of the stand alone performance of a computer. These processes can be used for analyzing an individual computer's system inventory (computer hardware components and system software components) against a static set of manufacturer validated requirements for a hardware or software product.

An interactive voice and data response system that directs input to a voice, text, and web-capable software-based router, which is able to intelligently respond to the input by drawing on a combination of human agents, advanced speech recognition and expert systems, connected to the router via a TCP / IP network. The digitized input is broken down into components so that the customer interaction is managed as a series of small tasks rather than one ongoing conversation. The router manages the interactions and keeps pace with a real-time conversation. The system utilizes both speech recognition and human intelligence for purposes of interpreting customer utterance or customer text. The system may use more than one human agent, or both human agents and speech recognition software, to interpret simultaneously the same component for error-checking and interpretation accuracy.

To perform link adaptation at radio interfaces of an enhanced packet data cellular network the system behavior is simulated for different C / I conditions. Two sets of tables are obtained, each table including upgrade and downgrade thresholds expressed in terms of Block Error Rate (BLER). The tables are specialized for taking into account EGPRS type II hybrid ARQ, Incremental Redundancy (IR). Transmitted blocks are checked for FEC and results are sent to the network that continuously updates BLER. A reliability filter output is used to decide the weight between new and old measurements. IR efficiency is tested for each incoming block and an indicative variable IR_status is filtered. Each threshold of BLER to be used is obtained by linear interpolation between the tabulated threshold without IR and with perfect IR, both weighed with filtered IR_status. Filtered BLER is compared with interpolated thresholds for testing the incoming of a MCS switching condition.

A cluster simulator simulates reformation of a real cluster in response to failure events. Profile programs on the cluster can gather data useful to the simulation and transmit the profile data to the simulator. The simulator can generate a model of the real cluster, the model itself being a virtual cluster. A user can select virtual failure events from a menu to apply to the model and the simulator responds by generating a post-failure virtual cluster in the configuration that the real cluster would assume in the event of the corresponding real failure. Sequences of virtual failures can also be tested for a given cluster configuration to evaluate its robustness. Comprehensive testing using virtual failure sequences can also be applied to different cluster configuration so that an optimum configuration can be recommended.

Method to perform link adaptation at the radio interfaces of an enhanced packet data cellular network handling several Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS) for maximizing data throughput. In a preliminary off-line step the system behaviour, in terms of net throughput of the various available MCSs, is simulated for different C / l conditions. From the simulation two sets of tables are obtained, each table including upgrade and downgrade thresholds expressed in terms of Block Error Rate (BLER). Thresholds correspond to switching points from an MCs to the two available MCSs having the immediate less or more protection. The two sets of tables are referred to higher or lower diversity RF environments and are further specialized for taking into account EGPRS type II hybrid ARQ, namely Incremental Redundancy (IR). During transmission the transmitted blocks are checked for FEC and the results are sent to the network. The network continuously updates BLER using exponential smoothing. In order to achieve the correct time response, in spite of that RLC blocks can be received or not, a reliability filter is provided whose output is used to decide the weight between the new and old measurements to make the BLER filter impulse response exponentially decreasing with time. The IR efficiency is tested for each incoming block and an indicative variable IR status is filtered using the same approach used for BLER. Each actual threshold of BLER to be used in link adaptation is obtained by a linear interpolation between the tabulated threshold without IR and with perfect IR, both weighed with filtered IR status. Filtered BLER is then compared with said interpolated thresholds for testing the incoming of a MCS switching condition. Power control pursues the goal of maintaining constant QoS peak throughput per time slot(Fig 16).

The invention provides a method for switching from a first operating condition of an integrated circuit to a second operating condition of the integrated circuit differing from the first operating condition. To that end, the output signal generated at a circuit output is externally overwritten. The inventive method or the inventive integrated circuit have the advantage that the switching from one operating condition into another operating condition of the integrated circuit can be implemented in a very simple way but with a high immunity to interference. The switching can be very easily initiated as needed because the only thing needed is the application of a voltage level--which is already available in the system--to an output of the integrated circuit. Furthermore, the selection of a circuit output assures that there is a high certainty that the switching condition will not accidentally occur because this is largely precluded by the standard and usually prescribed external interconnection of a circuit output.
