A memory controller circuit arrangement and method utilize a tuning circuit that dynamically controls the timing of memory control operations, rather than simply relying on fixed timing parameters that are either hardwired or initialized upon startup of a memory controller. Dynamic control over the timing of memory control operations typically incorporates memory test control logic that verifies whether or not a memory storage device will reliably operate using the dynamically-selected values of given timing parameters. Then, based upon the results of such testing, such dynamically-selected values are selectively updated and retested until optimum values are found. The dynamically-selected values may be used to set one or more programmable registers, each of which may in turn be used to control the operation of a programmable delay counter that enables a state transition in a state machine logic circuit to initiate performance of a memory control operation by the logic circuit. Dynamic tuning may also utilize a unique binary search engine circuit arrangement that updates one of two registers with an average of the current values stored in such registers based upon the result of a test performed using that average value. By selectively updating such registers, a fast convergence to an optimum value occurs with minimal circuitry.

Reduction of administrative overhead in maintaining network information, rapid convergence on an optimal routing path through the data network, and utilization of only required network resources are realized by a novel method for establishing a call path between network users. The method is based upon deployment of a network information server that stores network topology information and that is addressable by each end user. In this method, the network information server receives a request to establish a call path. The request identifies at least the calling party. In response to the request, the network information server determines a network traversal between the calling party and a root network wherein the network traversal includes call path information about the sub-networks between the calling party and the root network. The request for establishing a call path can also identify the called party. Based on the calling and called party identification, the network information server also determines a second network traversal between the called party and the root network. The second network traversal is sent to either the calling party or the called party or to both the calling and called parties. The server can determine an intersection of the traversals and send the intersection information to the parties. The intersection information is known as a merge point and represents an optimal call path between the parties.

The invention relates to a method for quickly contracting the end-to-end service, and a relative route device, wherein said invention is characterized in that: PE of remote CE sets at least two tunnel transfer route information whose start node as the PE of remote CE and end node as the PE connected to remote CE, to check the state of tunnel, and the PE of remote CE based on checked tunnel state, presets the transfer route information of said tunnel to transfer service. The PE of remote CE can directly based on the transfer route information of backup tunnel, transfer service, when the tunnel is unavailable, to improve the contract speed and improve the service reliability.

Systems and methods for joint training of beam patterns in a system having a transmitter and a receiver. Initial transmit and receive beam pattern vectors are first selected. The beam pattern vectors are perturbed to produce a plurality of perturbed transmit and receive beam pattern vectors. A received signal power between the transmitter and the receiver is estimated for each combination of the perturbed transmit and the perturbed receive beam pattern vectors. The transmit and receive beam pattern vectors having a highest received signal power are applied to the transmitter and the receiver respectively. The perturbation, estimation, and application steps are iterated until the received signal power meets a convergence criterion.
