Assignee:

Nokia Corporation - Espoo
International Classification:

H04L 1266
US Classification:

370352, 370480, 709219
Abstract:

A method and system for fast channel changes of media that is provided by carriers over an xDSL connection to a home. Each customers subscriber information is stored at the DSLAM that supports the xDSL connection to the home. Also, each DSLAM supports multicast protocols so that only one instance of a channel is provided on the core network regardless of how many customers have requested access to the channel.

US Patent:

45368384, Aug 20, 1985
Filed:

Mar 24, 1983
Appl. No.:

6/478604
Inventors:

Gerhard Ringel - Berkeley CA
Gabor Fencsik - Berkeley CA
Assignee:

MDS Qantel, Inc. - Hayward CA
International Classification:

G06F 304
G06F 1516
US Classification:

364200
Abstract:

A communication controller for a distributed processing system has a number of data processing stations in which messages are exchanged among the stations over a communication channel. The controller includes a communications processing unit which manages the transmission and receipt of messages. A program is provided for the communications processing unit which responds to an inbound message addressed to the associated station with its poll flag asserted to cause the station to immediately contend for use of the channel. No other station can contend for use of the channel at this time because their corresponding communication processing units responded to such inbound message as being addressed to another station. This causes a predetermined time interval to start. Each of the other units then awaits expiration of the interval before attempting to contend for use of the channel.
