A Point to Multipoint (PMP) multi-hop relay network includes a base station, one or more relay stations and one or more subscriber stations. Active service flows in a PMP multi-hop relay network have a 16-bit connection identifier (CID). A CID defines the connection that a packet is servicing. Before traffic can be transmitted, the path through the network, and the association of CIDs with respective hops needs to be established. The CID mapping relationship from the ingress air link to the egress air link at each relay station is first set up, which is then followed by a traffic phase where the CID mapping relationship is used to route traffic from a base station to a subscriber station.

An MH field further comprises a 16-bit a user identifier (UID) field, an 11 bit length indicator (LNG) field, a 1 bit “more” (M) field and an optional payload type / class of service (PT / CoS) field comprising 8 bits.

A method, system, and computer program product are presented to optimize OSI Level 2 switch forwarding of frames comprising IP addresses, 802.1 QinQ VLAN identifiers, multi-protocol label switching labels, and any other usable information meaningful to derive an L2 forwarding result on frames. In one embodiment, a 16-bit key is included as a prefix to a 48-bit OSI Level 2 address entry, thereby allowing the inclusion of a 32-bit OSI Level 3 address in the lookup table (e.g., a complete IP version 4 address). Implementations of such a solution are presented to resolve address aliasing issues experienced with multicast group destination addresses, including single source multicast. Solutions to optimizing forwarding of frames in an IEEE 802.1 QinQ environment are also presented. A result of these implementations can be reduction of the amount of unnecessary network traffic generated by a network switch incorporating such an OSI Level 2 address lookup table.

An integrated circuit contains a microprocessor core, program memory and separate data storage, together with analogue and digital signal processing circuitry. The ALU is 16 bits wide, but a 32-bit shift unit is provided, using a pair of 16-bit registers. The processor has a fixed length instruction format, with an instruction set including multiply and divide operations which use the shift unit over several cycles. No interrupts are provided. External pins of the integrated circuit allow for single stepping and other debug operations, and a serial interface (SIF) which allows external communication of test data or working data as necessary. The serial interface has four wires (SERIN, SEROUT, SER-CLK, SERLOADB), allowing handshaking with a master apparatus, and allowing direct access to the memory space of the processor core, without specific program control. Within each processor cycle, the processor circuitry is divided into plural stages, and latches are interposed between the stages to minimize power consumption.

When making digital data recordings using some form of computer or calculator, data is input in a variety of ways and stored on some form of electronic medium. During this process calculations and transformations are performed on the data to optimize it for storage. This invention involves designing the calculations in such a way that they include what is needed for each of many different processes, such as data compression, activity detection and object recognition. As the incoming data is subjected to these calculations and stored, information about each of the processes is extracted at the same time. Calculations for the different processes can be executed either serially on a single processor, or in parallel on multiple distributed processors. We refer to the extraction process as “synoptic decomposition”, and to the extracted information as “synoptic data”. The term “synoptic data” does not normally include the main body of original data. The synoptic data is created without any prior bias to specific interrogations that may be made, so it is unnecessary to input search criteria prior to making the recording. Nor does it depend upon the nature of the algorithms / calculations used to make the synoptic decomposition. The resulting data, comprising the (processed) original data together with the (processed) synoptic data, is then stored in a relational database. Alternatively, synoptic data of a simple form can be stored as part of the main data. After the recording is made, the synoptic data can be analyzed without the need to examine the main body of data. This analysis can be done very quickly because the bulk of the necessary calculations have already been done at the time of the original recording. Analyzing the synoptic data provides markers that can be used to access the relevant data from the main data recording if required. The nett effect of doing an analysis in this way is that a large amount of recorded digital data, that might take days or weeks to analyze by conventional means, can be analyzed in seconds or minutes. This invention also relates to a process for generating continuous parameterised families of wavelets. Many of the wavelets can be expressed exactly within 8-bit or 16-bit representations. This invention also relates to processes for using adaptive wavelets to extract information that is robust to variations in ambient conditions, and for performing data compression using locally adaptive quantisation and thresholding schemes, and for performing post recording analysis.

An advanced data structure allows lookup based upon the most significant 16 bits and the following variable number of K bits of the IP destination address. This 16 / K scheme requires less than 2 MB memory to store the whole routing tables of present day backbone routers. A 16 / Kc version utilizes bitmaps to compress the table to less than 0.5 MB. For the 16 / K data structure each route lookup requires at most 2 memory accesses while the 16 / Kc requires at most 3 memory accesses. By configuring the processor properly and developing a few customized instructions to accelerate route lookup, one can achieve 85 million lookups per second (MLPS) in the typical case with the processor running at 200 MHz. Further, the lookup method can be implemented using pipelining techniques to perform three lookups for three incoming packets simultaneously. Using such techniques, 100 MLPS performance can be achieved.

For a processor having instruction codes of two instruction lengths (16 bits and 32 bits), methods of locating the instruction codes are limited to two types: (1) two 16-bit instruction codes are stored within 32-bit word boundaries, and (2) a single 32-bit instruction code is stored intactly within the 32-bit word boundaries. A branch destination address is specified only on the 32-bit word boundary. The MSB of each instruction code serves as a 1-bit instruction length identifier for controlling the execution sequence of the instruction codes. This provides two transfer paths from an instruction fetch portion to an instruction decode portion within the processor, achieving reduction in code side and in the amount of hardware and, accordingly, the increase in operating speed.

The CRC for the CPS Header of an ATM AAL2 cell is generated by a CRC generator which uses the 8 bits of the CID field to generate partial 5 bits CRCs which are loaded in a first table.

Each entry within a forwarding lookup contains either direction as to how properly forward the packet or reference to a next subsequent forwarding lookup.

A direct digital synthesizer employs a trigonometric function generator utilizing decomposition of a larger angle into smaller sub-angles, interpolation of a desired sub-angle between two known angles and calculating the trigonometric function using complex arithmetic. The direct digital synthesizer has a phase accumulator to generate an angular increment signal of the output signal. A trigonometric function generator in communication with the phase accumulator receives the angle signal and from the angle signal creates the trigonometric function signal. An angle decomposing circuit is connected to receive the angle signal to separate the angle signal into sub-angles of the angular increment, a sum of the sub-angles equaling the angular increment. An interpolation circuit receives the smallest of the sub-angles to generate the trigonometric function for the smallest of the sub-angles by interpolating between the trigonometric function of two known angles. The direct digital synthesizer has a first angle trigonometric retaining for retaining the trigonometric functions of the known angles. At least one second angle trigonometric retaining circuit retains the trigonometric functions of for the remaining sub-angles. A complex arithmetic unit combines the interpolated trigonometric function and the second trigonometric function from each of the second angle trigonometric retaining circuits to create the trigonometric function.

This invention generates target encoded data by suppressing an arithmetic precision drop by executing processes such as orthogonal transformation and the like using the number of bits of an input image in place of reducing the number of bits at the time of input upon encoding an image. Upon generating baseline JPEG encoded data, a quantization table for an 8-bit image is stored in a quantization table storage unit. When an interpreter outputs information indicating that each color component per pixel of input image data is 16 bits, a bit shift unit multiplies the quantization table stored in the quantization table storage unit by the 8th power of 2 or {8th power of 2+1}. A quantizer quantizes coefficients output from a DCT unit on the basis of the quantization table stored in the quantization table storage unit, and a Huffman encoder encodes the quantization result to Huffman codes. A header is created by setting information indicating baseline JPEG and the quantization table stored in the quantization table storage unit, thus generating encoded data.

The invention can compress a routing table with 40,000 routing entries into a forwarding table of 450–470 Kbytes. According to the present invention, a segmentation table storage device stores a next hop or a pointer for looking up a next hop for an incoming packet having prefix length less than or equal to 16 bits. The Next Hop Array storage device is for storing the next hops for a packet having prefix length larger than 16 bits and offset length less than or equal to 3 bits. A Compressed Next Hop Array storage device is encoded and decoded according to a Code Word Array storage device. The Compressed Next Hop Array storage device stores next hops for the incoming packet having prefix length larger than 16 bits and offset length larger than 3 bits. Thus, in the worst case, an output port for a route prefix can be found in 3 memory accesses.

A processor generates a mode indication based on two or more other indications. The mode indication is indicative of whether or not a particular mode is active in the processor. Each indication is stored in a storage location which is addressable via a different instruction. In one embodiment, a long mode in which a 64 bit operating mode is selectable in addition to 32 bit and 16 bit modes may be activated via a long mode active indication.
