20080301692 | FACILITATING ACCESS TO INPUT/OUTPUT RESOURCES VIA AN I/O PARTITION SHARED BY MULTIPLE CONSUMER PARTITIONS - At least one input/output (I/O) firmware partition is provided in a partitioned environment to facilitate access to I/O resources owned by the at least one I/O firmware partition. The I/O resources of an I/O firmware partition are shared by one or more other partitions of the environment, referred to as consumer partitions. The consumer partitions use the I/O firmware partition to access the I/O resources. Since the I/O firmware partitions are responsible for providing access to the I/O resources owned by those partitions, the consumer partitions are relieved of this task, reducing complexity and costs in the consumer partitions. | 12-04-2008 |
20090063894 | Autonomic PCI Express Hardware Detection and Failover Mechanism - A system with an autonomic PCI Express hardware detection and failover mechanism includes a plurality of combination root complex capable and endpoint capable devices. A combination root complex capable and endpoint capable device may be selectively configured to operate in either a root complex mode or an endpoint mode. One of the devices assumes the root complex mode and the remaining devices each assume the endpoint mode. Each of the endpoint mode devices is adapted to detect a failure of the root complex mode device. In response to detection of the failure of the root complex mode device, one of the endpoint mode devices assumes root complex mode. An endpoint device may include a timer with a timeout value. Whenever, an endpoint device receives a communication from the root complex device, the endpoint device restarts its timer. If the timer times out with the endpoint device receiving a communication from the root complex device, the endpoint device issues a read request to the root complex device. If the root complex device does not respond to the read request, the endpoint device assumes root complex mode. Different endpoint devices may be assigned different timeout values. Accordingly, the endpoint device that is assigned the shortest time out value will assume root complex mode upon detection of a root complex device failure. | 03-05-2009 |

20130070619 | MAINTENANCE OF HIGH-SPEED CHANNELS BY INSERTING CHANNEL MAINTENANCE DATA IN A MOBILE DATA NETWORK TO AVOID CHANNEL TYPE SWITCHING - A mobile data network includes a radio access network and a core network. A first service mechanism in the radio access network breaks out data coming from a basestation. When data is broken out by the first service mechanism, the data is delivered at the edge, which means the true activity of the channel is not visible to the core network. The reduction of data in the core network due to serving data at the edge risks causing a switch from a high-speed channel to a low-speed channel by the mechanism in the core network that monitors and assigns channel speeds. In order to maintain the high-speed channel, the on-going data rate for a subscriber session is monitored and channel maintenance traffic is injected towards and from the radio network controller (in both directions). The amount of channel maintenance traffic depends on thresholds that determine a desired data rate. | 03-21-2013 |

20140043042 | Snoop Detection on Calibrated Bus - An electronic system having a high speed signaling bus requiring training (calibration) of a calibrated item in a driver circuitry or a receiver circuitry for reliable operation. At manufacturing or in a secure location, secure calibration coefficients are determined for the electronic system and are stored in a non-volatile storage. During operation, the high speed signaling bus may be re-calibrated, resulting in a new currently active calibration coefficient for the calibrated item. A coefficient watchdog checks a new coefficient value selected by the re-calibration at present environmental conditions such as voltage and temperature against the secure calibration coefficients. If the new calibration coefficient value is the same as a calibration coefficient value in an acceptably close secure calibration coefficient, the new calibration coefficient is accepted; if not, a potentially probed warning is created by the coefficient watchdog. | 02-13-2014 |

20140044039 | COOPERATIVE MOBILITY MANAGEMENT IN A MOBILE DATA NETWORK WITH DATA BREAKOUT AT THE EDGE - A TCP context is transferred to a Gi Optimizer to provide cooperative mobility management in a mobile data network with a breakout system. The breakout system includes an Iub Optimizer at the MIOP@NodeB, and the Gi Optimizer at the MIOP@Core. When a MIOP@NodeB detects a mobility event for a broken out user equipment (UE), the Iub optimizer in the MIOP@NodeB coordinates with the Gi optimizer to transfer the TCP/UDP connection established between the UE and the IuB Optimizer to the Gi Optimizer. After the transfer, the UE is served by the Gi Optimizer.

20140071804 | UTILIZING STORED DATA TO REDUCE PACKET DATA LOSS IN A MOBILE DATA NETWORK WITH DATA BREAKOUT AT THE EDGE - In a mobile data network with a breakout system, when data is broken out, the RLC function is split into two different flows, between the UE and the breakout system and between the breakout system and the RNC. These two flows are processed by different RLC functions that may drift apart and become out of synchronization resulting in errors that diminish the user's quality of experience. Other errors may also occur in communication on these two different flows. The breakout system attempts to correct these errors using data stored locally in communication data structures for the two data flows. If the errors cannot be corrected, the breakout system can initiate an RLC reset into both of these flows to resynchronize the data communication. | 03-13-2014 |

The check frame can be a synchronization frame that blocks access to a memory frame while the check frame is present, or the check frame may be a breakpoint, watch or exception frame that calls a suitable handling routine. Additional check frames may be chained between the interface and the memory subsystem to handle synchronization, breakpoints, memory watches or other accesses to or information gathering associated with the memory frame. | 06-12-2014 |

The instruction frame caches fetched and decoded instructions and may be inserted at the first access to a corresponding instruction memory frame. The instruction frame can track write accesses to instruction memory so that changes to the instruction memory can be reflected in the state of the instruction frame. Additional check frames may be chained between the interface and the memory frame to handle breakpoints, instruction memory watches or other access checks on the instruction memory frame. | 06-12-2014 |
