20100278542BURST MODE OPTICAL RECEIVER - A system and computer readable medium for a burst mode optical receiver that enables an optical receiver to receive signals from a plurality of optical network units at different optical power levels. In an exemplary embodiment, the system may include a memory that stores a received signal strength indication, and a media access controller communicably coupled to the memory. The media access controller receives a received signal strength indication of an upcoming data stream to an optical network unit, and asserts a signal control voltage during a guard time to an optical receiver to optimize reception of incoming data streams of the optical network unit based upon the received signal strength indication received from the upcoming data stream.11-04-2010
20100246573TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM WITH PACKET-SWITCHED-MULTIMEDIA-SESSION-TO-CIRCUIT-SWITCHED-CALL TRANSFERRAL - Telecommunication systems with packet-switched multimedia terminals and nodes for packet-switched multimedia sessions and with servers for exchanging multimedia signaling information for the packet-switched multimedia sessions and with terminating units are provided with gateways for in response to transferral messages originating from the packet-switched multimedia terminals and arriving at the servers transferring packet-switched multimedia sessions between packet-switched multimedia terminals and nodes to circuit-switched calls between gateways and circuit-switched terminals via switches, to continue possibly interrupted sessions via replacing calls. The servers send invitation messages to gateways, which send setup messages to switches for setting up circuit-switched calls via partly alternative communication paths. The servers send information messages to terminating units for bringing the terminating units from session level to call level. Preferably, a packet-switched multimedia terminal and a circuit-switched terminal are one and the same terminal.09-30-2010
20100142709ROGUE ACCESS POINT DETECTION IN WIRELESS NETWORKS - Methods to detect rogue access points (APs) and prevent unauthorized wireless access to services provided by a communication network are provided. A mobile station (MS) reports to a serving AP the received signal strength (RSS) for all APs in the area it travels. The serving AP detect a rogue AP based on inconsistencies perceived in the RSS reports, assessed during the handover phase or whilst the communication is active.06-10-2010
20100046548MULTI-PURPOSE PDU CONTAINER FOR DELINEATING PDU DATAGRAMS AND PDU DATAGRAM ATTRIBUTES IN AN 8B/10B CODED SYSTEM - A method of reducing overhead for datagrams that are transmitted to or received from a serial link that reduces overhead to no more than four bytes. The datagram includes at least a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) field, a Start-of-PDU Header (SPH) field, and a SPH Control (SCH) field. The SPH and SCH fields consist of two bytes. The datagram may additionally include End-of-PDU Header (EPH) and EPH Control (ECH) fields. A method may also involve substitution of flags for subsequent headers that are identical to previous headers.02-25-2010
20100020388AMPLIFYING OPTICAL FIBER - The invention consists in an amplifying optical fiber comprising a core containing a dopant and a cladding, wherein said core comprises a monomode core intended to propagate an optical signal, quantum dots of a semiconductor material being disposed in or near said monomode core, and a multimode core surrounding the monomode core, intended to receive a pumping signal.01-28-2010
