The present invention is related to a statistical multiplexing method and apparatus using a multi-dimensional orthogonal resource hopping multiplexing method in a wired / wireless communication systems where a plurality of communication channels, which are synchronized through a single medium, coexist. The present invention, in order to implement a generalized statistical multiplexing communication system using a multi-dimensional orthogonal resource hopping multiplexing method, comprises a multi-dimensional hopping pattern generator which is located in the primary communication station, a data symbol modulator that modulates data symbols based on the corresponding orthogonal resource hopping pattern generated by said multi-dimensional hopping pattern generator, a collision detector and controller that detects whether a collision occurs or not between the multi-dimensional hopping patterns and compares the consistency of the data symbols toward the secondary communication stations between said collision interval, a transmission power controller that controls the transmission power of the remaining parts excluding the parts where the multi-dimensional hopping patterns collide and the transmission is stopped due to transmitting data symbol inconsistency and compensates for the loss in the average reception energy due to a transmission stoppage.

Follow-up content items are determined for being played out when the current play-out of a content item has ended or is scheduled to end. The follow-up content items are determined, based on one or more bibliographic or semantic attributes of the item being played out and, on additional parameters such as the available bandwidth and the required data transfer rate. During the playing out of the content item, at least the first portions of the follow-up content items are retrieved and buffered in a buffer local to the equipment. Upon the playing-out of the content item being halted, the playing-out of the follow-up content items can be started right away from the buffer.

An active queue management (AQM) process for network communications equipment. The AQM process is queue based and involves applying at a queue size threshold congestion notification to communications packets in a queue of a link via packet dropping; and adjusting said queue size threshold on the basis of the congestion level. The AQM process releases more buffer capacity to accommodate more incoming packets by increasing said queue size threshold when congestion increases; and decreases buffer capacity by reducing said queue size threshold when congestion decreases. Network communications equipment includes a switch component for switching communications packets between input ports and output ports, packet queues for at least the output ports, and an active queue manager for applying congestion notification to communications packets in the queues for the output ports via packet dropping. The congestion notification is applied at respective queue size thresholds for the queues, and the thresholds adjusted on the basis of the respective congestion levels of the queues of the output ports.
