A method and system for conveying an arbitrary mixture of high and low latency traffic streams across a common switch fabric implements a multi-dimensional traffic classification scheme, in which multiple orthogonal traffic classification methods are successively implemented for each traffic stream traversing the system. At least two diverse paths are mapped through the switch fabric, each path being optimized to satisfy respective different latency requirements. A latency classifier is adapted to route each traffic stream to a selected path optimized to satisfy latency requirements most closely matching a respective latency requirement of the traffic stream. A prioritization classifier independently prioritizes traffic streams in each path. A fairness classifier at an egress of each path can be used to enforce fairness between responsive and non-responsive traffic streams in each path. This arrangement enables traffic streams having similar latency requirements to traverse the system through a path optimized for those latency requirements.

Biopotential waveforms such as ERPs, EEGs, ECGs, or EMGs are classified accurately by dynamically fusing classification information from multiple electrodes, tests, or other data sources. These different data sources or “channels” are ranked at different time instants according to their respective univariate classification accuracies. Channel rankings are determined during training phase in which classification accuracy of each channel at each time-instant is determined. Classifiers are simple univariate classifiers which only require univariate parameter estimation. Using classification information, a rule is formulated to dynamically select different channels at different time-instants during the testing phase. Independent decisions of selected channels at different time instants are fused into a decision fusion vector. The resulting decision fusion vector is optimally classified using a discrete Bayes classifier. Finally, the dynamic decision fusion system provides high classification accuracies, is quite flexible in operation, and overcomes major limitations of classifiers applied currently in biopotential waveform studies and clinical applications.

A depolarization waveform classifier based on the Modified lifting line wavelet Transform is described. Overcomes problems in existing rate-based event classifiers. A task for pacemaker / defibrillators is the accurate identification of rhythm categories so correct electrotherapy can be administered. Because some rhythms cause rapid dangerous drop in cardiac output, it's desirable to categorize depolarization waveforms on a beat-to-beat basis to accomplish rhythm classification as rapidly as possible. Although rate based methods of event categorization have served well in implanted devices, these methods suffer in sensitivity and specificity when atrial / ventricular rates are similar. Human experts differentiate rhythms by morphological features of strip chart electrocardiograms. The wavelet transform approximates human expert analysis function because it correlates distinct morphological features at multiple scales. The accuracy of implanted rhythm determination can then be improved by using human-appreciable time domain features enhanced by time scale decomposition of depolarization waveforms.
