20120113993 | BACKWARD LOOKING ROBUST HEADER COMPRESSION RECEIVER - Robust Header Compression (ROHC) offers a way to compress packet header information for more efficient transmission of data. The compression is achieved through various confidence modes set up by the transmitter and the receiver. The Initialization and Refresh state (IR) is the first state of the compressor. This provides a complete, uncompressed context of the data that is being transmitted. In typically operation, the ROHC compressor will periodically transmit IR packets providing context information allowing the ROHC decompressor to decompress one or more packets following the IR packet. However, under certain conditions such as decompressor start-up, it is possible for the decompressor to miss an IR packet. Exemplary methods and apparatus are described in which a decompressor uses a later-received IR packet to decompress earlier packets for which the decompressor had not received context information. | 05-10-2012 |

20090116841 | Systems and methods for adaptive gain control to compensate OSNR penalty caused by side-lobe of MEMS-based reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers - The present invention provides systems and methods to adaptively control amplifier target power to maintain signal launching power as per design in networks with wavelength selective switch (WSS)-based reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADMs) using micro-electromechanical system (MEMS). Accordingly, signal OSNR does not collapse faster for WSS-based ROADMs than other similar configured system without WSS-based ROADM. In order to correct amplifier target power, the present invention utilizes system information about side-lobe size and OSNR at each amplifier. Related information, such as ASE level and size of side-lobes at each channel from upstream amplifiers, is passed to the network controller at each amplifier. Meanwhile, with target signal level and local WSS attenuation setting (given side-lobe size vs. WSS attenuation known) of each channel, the amplifier calculates what is total output power should be and adaptively maintains that power. | 05-07-2009 |

Responsive to receiving a request for an entry that may be outdated on the node, the node sends a request down a replication chain for an updated copy of the ASDR table entry from one of the replicas. Responsive to receiving the replica copy of the entry, the node responds to the client's request for the entry. | 10-09-2014 |
