Maintaining data communication through neighboring mobile units during handoff

A data communication for a handoff mobile unit is maintained by data forwarding through neighboring mobile units in indoor wireless cellular communication networks operates such that, when the master unit has no available channels, the mobile unit switches over to master status to create an ad hoc cell. The mobile unit then pages neighboring slave mobile units for data forwarding assistance. The mobile unit chooses one or more slave mobile units and establishes wireless links with the chosen slave mobile units. These chosen mobile units then have two masters; one the master unit of the cell and the other the handoff mobile unit which has created the ad hoc cell. A list of the slave mobile units in the ad hoc cell is sent to the network server, and data communication proceeds with data forwarding through the chosen mobile slave units. When a channel becomes available with the master unit for the cell, the handoff mobile unit becomes a slave mobile unit to the master unit and the ad hoc cell is dissolved.

Master/slave scheduling method in multimachine assembly

ActiveCN101571813ARealize automatic load schedulingGreat practicabilityProgram initiation/switchingResource allocationInformation transmissionHeart throb
The invention discloses a master / slave scheduling method in a multimachine assembly, and relates to the field of computer application control. The designation of the master / slave status of a process is carried out in a multimachine assembly environment; the same application system is arranged on a plurality of servers; and the equalized distribution of the master / slave status of a process group is realized on a plurality of hosts through the grouping of the application system processes. When the multimachine assembly has a single point failure, the processes which run in a master status on the host is migrated to run on the other hosts. When a certain master status application process on a certain server quits, the function of the certain application process is migrated to the other hosts with relatively low load. Particularly assembly control software, a development interface library and an assembly configuration file are installed on each assembly host. The information transmission between the hosts is carried out through heart-throb messages; the scheduling granularity is the process groups; each process group configures a load factor according to the CPU occupancy; and the assembly scheduling meets the assembly load balancing scheduling algorithm. The method realizes the automatic scheduling of the multimachine assembly system according to the load, and is more scientific and reasonable.

Future activity list for peripheral bus host controller

One embodiment includes a future activity list (FAL) maintained within a peripheral bus host controller. The FAL includes information indicating for a number of peripheral bus frames whether those frames will have activity or are null. For frames that will have activity, the host controller performs a system memory read to gather information required to process the active frame. For frames that are null, the host controller does not perform the system memory read. A bus master status bit is pegged (continually set to “true”) by the host controller only when the host controller is processing an active frame. Because the bus master status bit is not pegged by the host controller during null frames, there is greater opportunity for an operating system to enter lower power states.

Management of microcode lock in a shared computing resource

In a power controller or other computing resource shared by multiple processors, an ID is written to the lock register, thereby designating a master processor. A timer is then initialized to count for a predetermined period. Periodically, the master processor transmits a “heartbeatsignal to the shared resource, indicating that its operation remains normal. Upon receipt of the heartbeat signal, the timer is reset and begins a new count for the predetermined period. If the timer reaches the end of the period without having received a heartbeat signal, indicating that the master processor has failed or hung, the lock register is cleared again and an interrupt signal is broadcast to all of the processors. The processors compete for master status anew and, when an ID is successfully written to the lock register, the timer is restarted and the new master periodically transmits its heartbeat signal.

Address level synchronization of shared data

From among a plurality of threads accessing a shared data object, one thread acquires a “master” status to arbitrate among the requests of competing threads during a given session of data access to the shared data object. During the session, the master thread resolves any conflicts resulting from attempts to access or modify the shared data object by other threads, and only the master thread may apply modifications to the shared data object during the session. Meanwhile, during the session, non-master threads may perform non-blocking read operations on the shared data object. During a subsequent session, a different thread may acquire master status.

Persistent peer-to-peer networking over a piconet network

A persistent peer-to-peer network is implemented over a network with master-slave topology. Data being sent from master to slave or from slave to master are sent in one transmission, but data sent from one slave to another is received by the master and retransmitted to the slave. A session table is kept at each device includes an ordered list of devices, where the first device is the master device. When a master device drops out of the network the slave devices promote the next device in the ordered list of devices to master. A master device may also receive a request from a slave device to become master, and update its session table and send the updated session table to all devices. The slave device requesting master status is then treated as master by all devices in the network.
