The invention provides a method and system for collecting aggregate information about network traffic, while maintaining processor load relatively constant despite substantial variation in network traffic, and capable of substantially accurate frequency measurement even for relatively infrequent events. A packet monitoring system includes an input port for receiving network packets, a sampling element for selecting a fraction of those packets for review, and a queue of selected packets. The packets in the queue are coupled to a packet-type detector for detecting packets of a selected type; the system applies a measurement technique for determining a frequency measure for those detected packets. The system includes a feedback technique for adaptively altering the sampling rate fraction, responsive to the queue length and possibly other factors, such as processor load or the detected frequency measure.

The system can detect packets of multiple selected types essentially simultaneously, and provide measured frequencies and error ranges for all of the multiple selected types at once. Also, the measurement technique is selected so as to impose relatively light processor load per packet.

The invention provides a frequency measurement method based on an FPGA. A standard reference clock is adopted to count the number of pulses of a measured signal in a unit time (1s) and the number of the pulses of the measured signal in the unit time (1s) is the frequency of the signal. Due to the fact that the starting moment of a gate and the finishing moment of the gate are random for the signal, a pulse period quantization error can be produced, and measurement accuracy needs to be analyzed further: the pulse period of a signal to be measured is set to be Tx, the frequency is set to be Fx, and when the measuring time T equals to 1s, the measurement accuracy & meets the equation that &=Tx / T=1 / Fx. The fact that measurement accuracy in a direct frequency measurement method is relevant to the frequency of the signal is known, the higher the frequency of the signal to be measured is, the higher the measurement accuracy is, and otherwise, the lower the frequency of the signal to be measured is, the lower the measurement accuracy is. The direct frequency measurement method is only suitable for measurement of the signal at the higher frequency and can not meet the demand that the measurement accuracy remains unchanged in the whole measurement frequency band. In order to overcome the defect of inaccuracy in low-frequency-band measurement, gating signals and the measured signal are used for carrying out dual control on enable signals of the counter, and therefore accuracy is improved.

Real-time battery impedance spectrum is acquired using a one-time record. Fast Summation Transformation (FST) is a parallel method of acquiring a real-time battery impedance spectrum using a one-time record that enables battery diagnostics. An excitation current to a battery is a sum of equal amplitude sine waves of frequencies that are octave harmonics spread over a range of interest.

Another algorithm yields real and imaginary components for each frequency.

Electrochemical Impedance Spectrum (EIS) data are used directly to predict the pulse performance of an energy storage device. The impedance spectrum of the EIS is obtained in-situ using pre-existing techniques. A simulation waveform is configured such that the period of the pulse is greater than or equal to the lowest frequency of the impedance measurement. If the pulse is assumed to be periodic for analysis purposes, the complex Fourier series coefficients can be obtained. The number of harmonic constituents are selected so as to appropriately resolve the response, but the maximum frequency should be less than or equal to the highest frequency of the impedance measurement. In some cases, the measured frequencies of the impedance spectrum do not match the corresponding harmonic components of the simulated pulse wave. This is resolved by estimating the impedance measurements at the desired frequencies using linear interpolation, cubic spline fits, or other comparable methods. Using a current pulse as an example, the Fourier coefficients of the pulse are multiplied by the impedance spectrum at the corresponding frequency to obtain the Fourier coefficients of the voltage response to the desired pulse. The Fourier coefficients of the response are then summed reassemble to obtain the overall time domain estimate of the voltage using the Fourier series analysis. Thus, the response of an energy storage device to an anticipated or desired pulse can be estimated using low-level, charge neutral impedance measurements combined with Fourier series analysis.
