System And Method For Virtual Sector Provisioning And Network Configuration

View page
US Patent:
7173915, Feb 6, 2007
Filed:
Jun 28, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/183490
Inventors:
Henrik F. Bernheim - Bellevue WA, US
Andy E. Rostron - Everett WA, US
Assignee:
Harris Corporation - Melboure FL
International Classification:
H04L 12/28
H04L 12/56
US Classification:
370328, 370407, 455 62
Abstract:
The present invention provides systems and methods wherein communication link redundancy may be provided which is optimized to the primary links. Specifically, a redundant link portion of a communication system may be deployed to provide redundant links for a primary link portion of the communication system having substantially greater information communication capacity. However, through the use of isolation of portions of the primary link capacity, such as through the preferred embodiment sectors, sufficient redundant link capacity may be maintained economically. According to a preferred embodiment, a single redundant sector may be coextensive with a plurality of primary sectors and, thus, be relied upon for providing redundant links for any such primary sector. Preferred embodiments allow for the subsectoring of primary sectors while maintaining the configuration of a redundant sector corresponding thereto.

US Patent:
7286497, Oct 23, 2007
Filed:
Jun 28, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/183383
Inventors:
Henrik Bernheim - Bellevue WA, US
W. Carl Day - Phoenix AZ, US
Jeff Battin - Duvall WA, US
Andy E. Rostron - Melbourne FL, US
Assignee:
Harris Corporation - Melbourne FL
International Classification:
H04B 7/00
US Classification:
3703102, 370312
Abstract:
A collection of methods of operating in a point-to-multipoint communication system with a base station and a plurality of remote stations, wherein the communication system maximizes the number of potential connections to each multipoint destination through the creation of an extended Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cell that examines the switch tag and generates an embedded output channel identifier, wherein the output channel identifier is utilized as an index for broadcast domains and selection of a Temporary Remote Path Identifier (TRPI) comprised of a series of remote station identifiers.

Hybrid Agent-Oriented Object Model To Provide Software Fault Tolerance Between Distributed Processor Nodes

View page
US Patent:
7424640, Sep 9, 2008
Filed:
Aug 31, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/929684
Inventors:
Andy E. Rostron - Everett WA, US
Assignee:
Harris Corporation - Melbourne FL
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714 10, 714 13
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for a computer system is used for implementing an extended distributed recovery block fault tolerance scheme. The computer system includes a supervisory node, an active node and a standby node. Each of the nodes has a primary routine, an alternate routine and an acceptance test for testing the output of the routines. Each node also includes a device driver, a monitor and a node manager for determining the operational configuration of the node. The supervisory node coordinates the operation of the active and standby nodes. The primary and alternate routines are implemented with an application task through a plurality of agent objects operating as finite state machines. A reliable data link extends between the monitors of the active and standby nodes.

US Patent:
7460551, Dec 2, 2008
Filed:
Jun 28, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/183492
Inventors:
Andy E. Rostron - Everett WA, US
Mitel Kuliner - Bellingham WA, US
Assignee:
Harris Corporation - Melbourne FL
International Classification:
H04L 12/56
US Classification:
370419, 370442, 710 10
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for an improvement of a computer network by bringing commonality down to the device driver level. The computer network having at least one processor node having a circuit control module and a plurality of dedicated combinations of device driver and device object. Each of the dedicated combinations is capable of exchanging data between a circuit control module and one device type of a plurality of device types. The dedicated combinations of the device driver and the device object are replaced by a generic device driver and generic device agent capable of exchanging data between the circuit control module and any one of the plurality of device types.

20060085669, Apr 20, 2006
Filed:
Apr 28, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/116346
Inventors:
Andy Rostron - Melbourne FL, US
Eric Wenger - Calabasas CA, US
W. Day - Chapel Hill NC, US
International Classification:
G06F 11/00
US Classification:
714004000
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for a computer system is used for implementing an extended distributed recovery block fault tolerance scheme. The computer system includes a supervisory node, an active node and a standby node. Each of the nodes has a primary routine, an alternate routine and an acceptance test for testing the output of the routines. Each node also includes a device driver, a monitor and a node manager for determining the operational configuration of the node as well as a common agent, the common agent being a hybrid software agent comprising both the characteristics of an EDRB model and a virtual circuit state machine, wherein the attachment objects of the agent are identical regardless of where instances of the agent are located. The supervisory node acts as an arbitrator and coordinates the operation of the active and standby nodes. A reliable data link extends between the monitors of the active and standby nodes.
