Abstract:
A method for Xx/Xn interface communication is disclosed, comprising: at an Xx/Xn gateway for communicating with, and coupled to, a first and a second radio access network (RAN), receiving messages from the first RAN according to a first Xx/Xn protocol and mapping the received messages to a second Xx/Xn protocol for transmission to the second RAN; maintaining state of one of the first RAN or the second RAN at the Xx/Xn gateway; executing executable code received at an interpreter at the Xx/Xn gateway as part of the received messages; altering the maintained state based on the executed executable code; and receiving and decoding an initial Xx/Xn message from the first RAN; identifying specific strings in the initial Xx/Xn message; matching the identified specific strings in a database of stored scripts; and performing a transformation on the initial Xx/Xn message, the transformation being retrieved from the database for stored scripts, the stored scripts being transformations.
Abstract:
The present invention reduces the level of optical reflections created in a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) going back into an integrated laser through Reflection Engineering; optimizing the phase/timing and position of optical reflections inherent to a PIC design while adding engineered reflections to the PIC to allow inherent reflections to be reduced or eliminated. The Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) geometric optical isolator of the present invention combines an array of closely spaced WDM lasers with an array of modulators in a novel geometry in order to provide effective optical isolation of the lasers.
Abstract:
High-performance ultra-wideband Phased Array Sensors (PAS) are disclosed, which have unique capabilities, enabled through photonic integrated circuits and novel optical architectures. Unique capabilities for a Receive PAS are provided by wafer scale photonic integration including heterogeneous integration of III-V materials and ultra-low-loss silicon nitride waveguides, combining key component technologies into complex PIC devices. Novel aspects include optical multiplexing combining wavelength division multiplexing and/or a novel extension to array photodetectors providing the capability to combine many RF photonic signals with very low loss. The architecture also includes optical down-conversion, as well as digital signal processing to improve the linearity of the system. Simultaneous multi-channel beamforming is achieved through optical power splitting of optical signals to create multiple exact replicas of the signals that are then processed independently.
Abstract:
A fast optical switch can be fabricated/constructed, when a vanadium dioxide (VO2) and a two-dimensional (2-D) material is activated by either an electrical pulse (a voltage pulse or a current pulse) or a light pulse just to induce an insulator-to-metal phase transition (IMT) in vanadium dioxide. The applications of such a fast optical switch for an on-demand optical add-drop subsystem, integrating with (a) a light slowing/light stopping component (based on metamaterials and/or nanoplasmonic structures) and (b) with or without a wavelength converter are also described.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a communications-exchange apparatus which can re-establish a communication link with a plurality of terminals using a re-assigned TEI after the apparatus is reset. When the exchange is reset, built-in Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) management procedure execution unit 202 sets the contents of a TEI table 204 to "not-in-use" and performs a TEI check procedure on an ISDN transmission path 106. The TEI management procedure execution unit 202 sets the status of the TEI table 204 corresponding to a TEI confirmed to have been used to "in-use", or performs a TEI removal procedure.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving multiple telephone transmission signals over a single twisted pair. An analog signal from a local switching station is converted to an 80 kbits/sec signal for transmission over a twisted pair. A remote terminal converts the 80 kbits/sec signal back into a conventional analog signal for use in conventional telephone, facsimile or other related equipment.

Abstract:
In a private branch exchange connected to an Integrated Services Digital Network, an ISDN user interface unit separates a signal from each user terminal into a B-channel packet and a D-channel packet and further separates the latter into a signaling message and a D-channel packet mode signal. The separated D-channel packet mode signal is multiplexed with D-channel packet mode signals from other user terminals into a D-channel packet mode multiplex signal and applied through a channel to an ISDN network interface unit, while the signaling message is applied to a controller for processing. In the ISDN network interface unit, the D-channel packet mode multiplex signal is multiplexed with the signaling message processed by the controller into an outgoing D-channel signal and transmitted with the B-channel packet to the ISDN.
Abstract:
In a management system for managing a plurality of terminal endpoint identifiers which are to be assigned to terminal equipment units, an up-down counter is selectively operable in a count-up mode and a count-down mode to count the number of the terminal equipment units which are currently practically connected to the management system and to produce a count signal and to which the terminal endpoint identifiers are assigned, respectively. A read-only memory memorizes a first threshold value and a second threshold value greater than the first threshold value. A comparator compares the count signal with the first threshold value to produce a coincidence signal when the count signal is coincident with the first threshold value. On production of the coincidence signal, the terminal equipments to which the terminal endpoint identifiers are assigned are monitored by a central processing unit to judge whether or not the terminal equipments in question are actually connected to the management system. The first threshold value is changed to the second threshold value under control of a central processing unit in response to the coincidence signal.
Abstract:
A private branch exchange for controlling the calls terminated from a direct-in line receives a call set-up message containing termination information including termination address information and termination subaddress information. The termination subaddress information is supplied by the originating station and includes a security code and an internal station number. A dial signal deciding part converts the security code into a class-of-service number in accordance with a security code table containing to class-of-service numbers. The services of the private branch exchange which are offered to a subscriber, for example termination to station or origination of call, are determined by indexing a class-of-service table containing class-of-service information using the class-of-service number.
