20090003210 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING CONGESTION IN COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS - A system and method for monitoring congestion in a communication system including an external packet switched network. The communication system includes a plurality of interconnected host devices, such as base stations, consoles, zone controllers. To determine the presence of congestion on links between a pair of host devices, a series of sequential packets are transmitted between the pair. The sequentially transmitted packets are then monitor fluctuations in transmission delays and lost packets. These two criteria are used to identify congestion levels present on the various links in the communication system, and communications on the relevant interzone link are controlled based on the identified congestion level. | 01-01-2009 |
20120170447 | METHOD OF AGGREGATING CONVENTIONAL RESOURCES UPON LOSING CONNECTIVITY TO A MASTER SYSTEM SITE - Communication systems and methods are presented for aggregating sites when connectivity to a core and zone controller therein is lost. A local controller provides multicast control to sub-sites within a locally aggregated network after detecting loss of connectivity to the core. The local controller assigns different multicast addresses than multicast addresses assigned by the zone controller. A sparse and dense mode protocol is used for multicast traffic outside and within the locally aggregated network, respectively. Conventional resources, but not trunked resources, are assigned addresses and groups. An isolated site is able to connect to the network in the event of core failure so that conventional multicast traffic traverses a direct link between each isolated site and the network, thereby extending the locally aggregated network. Multicast addresses available to be assigned by a local controller within any locally aggregated networks can be the same as those assigned by other local controllers. | 07-05-2012 |
