International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370258, 370404, 370498

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a node comprises an interface to communicatively couple the node to a channel. The channel communicatively couples the node to a first neighbor node and first neighbor's neighbor node in a first direction. When the first neighbor node is scheduled to transmit and the node receives data from the first neighbor node via the channel, the node forwards the data to the first neighbor's neighbor, receives other data from the first neighbor's neighbor, compares the data to the other data, and relays the data along the channel with information indicative of the comparison.

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370400, 370389

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method resolves cliques formed in a network comprising a plurality of nodes that are communicatively coupled to one another over at least a first channel. The method comprises, at each node, wherein that node is a member of a current clique: listening asynchronously for data on the first channel from a first neighbor's neighbor node of that node. The method further comprises, at that node, when a first valid frame is received on the first channel from the first neighbor's neighbor node of that node, listening asynchronously for a second valid frame on the first channel from a first neighbor node of that node. The method further comprises, at that node, when the second valid frame is received on the first channel, checking if the first valid frame and the second valid frame are both from the same other clique, and, if the first valid frame and the second valid frame are both from the same the same other clique, determining if that node should defect from the current clique towards the other clique.

Assignee:

International Classification:

H04L 3/06

US Classification:

370503, 370345

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method is performed at a node. The method comprises outputting, from a rate-changeable clock included at the node, a first clock signal having a clock rate. The method further comprises generating a second clock signal from the first clock signal for use in determining when transmissions in a network are to start. The method further comprises sending and receiving data from the node using the first clock signal as a line encoding/decoding clock. The method further comprises making relative clock-rate measurements at the node based on transmissions received at the node and using the relative clock-rate measurements to adjust the clock rate of the rate-changeable clock. The method further comprises making clock-state adjustments to the second clock signal.

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370258, 370404, 370498

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a node comprises an interface to communicatively couple the node to a channel. The channel communicatively couples the node to a first neighbor node and a first neighbor's neighbor node in a first direction. When the node relays relayed data along the channel, the node compares data received from the first neighbor node with data received from the first neighbor's neighbor node. The relayed data comprises: at least one of: the data received from the first neighbor node and the data received from the first neighbor's neighbor node; and information indicative of the results of the comparison.

Abstract:

A method for arbitrating access to a time slot in a time division multiple access network in an asynchronous hub with a bus guardian is provided. The method including receiving signals from competing nodes claiming access to the same time slot at the bus guardian of the asynchronous hub, selecting one of the nodes based on a priority scheme, and relaying a message from the selected node and blocking the message from the non-selected node.

International Classification:

G01R 31/08

US Classification:

370216, 370404

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a node comprises an interface to communicatively couple the node to a first channel. The first channel communicatively couples the node to a first neighbor node and a first neighbor's neighbor node in a first direction. When the node is operating in an unsynchronized mode: the node relays, along the first channel, for a relay period, data received from the first neighbor node that was sourced from that first neighbor node and, after relaying the data received from the first neighbor node that was sourced from that first neighbor node and for a block period, the node blocks data received from the first neighbor while the node relays, along the first channel, data received from the first neighbor's neighbor node.

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

37039532

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a system comprises a plurality of nodes that are communicatively coupled to one another. Each of the plurality of nodes, in the absence of any faults, is communicatively coupled to at least a first neighbor node and a first neighbor's neighbor node and a second neighbor node and a second neighbor's neighbor node. When at least a first clique and a second clique exist within the plurality of nodes and a first node included in the first clique successfully receives a synchronization message associated with the second clique from the first neighbor node of the first node and the first neighbor's neighbor node of the first node, the first node does the following. The first node defects to the second clique and synchronizes to the synchronization message. The first node also communicates a join message to at least the second neighbor node of the first node and the second neighbor's neighbor node of the first node. The join message indicates that the second neighbor node and the second neighbor's neighbor node should defect to the second clique and listen for a subsequent synchronization message from the second clique to which the second neighbor node and the second neighbor's neighbor node should synchronize.
