The authors present an adaptive control scheme based on neural networks to solve a general quality-of-service (QOS) control problem in broadband ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) networks. The control algorithms developed for training neural networks are a direct application of the error backpropagation learning method with those modifications required to pose the problem in a QOS control framework. To illustrate the present scheme's ability to control, examples of dynamic models are studied through simulations.<>

A novel DPLL (digital phase-locked loop) has been designed and implemented. A novel phase locking technique called phase-hopping was developed. Key features of the phase-hopping DPLL (PHDPLL) are high-speed desynchronization and very narrow bandwidth (below 1 Hz). Moreover, it can be integrated with other operation circuits on a single chip by VLSI technology. Loop characteristics of the PHDPLL have been analyzed and verified by software simulation and hardware test. The optimal parameters and performance of the PHDPLL for SONET (Synchronous Optical NETwork) desynchronizer applications are presented. When the loop bandwidth of the PHDPLL is below 0.66 Hz, it is observed that the desynchronizer's output jitter meets the 1.5 unit interval peak-to-peak jitter specification.<>

The authors propose parallel rate-variable punctured convolutional coded PPM (pulse position modulation) in a photon counting channel to achieve high energy information efficiency for desired bit error rate (BER) and transmission bandwidth. Theoretical results are shown for the BER performance, the bandwidth expansion factor beta , and a necessary energy information efficiency to achieve BER=10/sup -6/ of the proposed systems for some combinations of code rates. It is found that the system with the same code rates on all binary erasure channels has better BER performance than other systems for the same bandwidth expansion factor beta . It is also found that the proposed system can achieve high energy information efficiency for desired BER and beta by selecting a suitable combination of code rates depending on the channel conditions. Moreover, it is shown that the proposed system has better BER performance than Reed-Solomon-coded PPM in a small range of beta .<>

Design and implementation issues for large distributed asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switching systems are considered. The ATM switch fabric resides in small, geographically dispersed access stations interconnected by a shared, all-optical medium carrying many wavelength-multiplexed channels. The authors present the architecture of the distributed ATM fabric and describe the optical subsystem. They summarize the per-port throughput relative to the dimensionality of the distributed switching elements contained in the access station, and discuss design considerations relative to the dimensionality of the switching element. The detailed design of an access station, or network interface unit (NIU), and its associated subsystems, implemented as part of the ACORN/TeraNet project, are presented.<>

The proposal of new network architectures for the access network, such as TPON (telephony over a passive optical network), led to the study of ways in which the new architecture can be integrated into existing systems. A testbed designed to explore the integration issues is described. Emphasis is placed on the operational experience gained using the testbed. The key objectives of the testbed were to determine the optimum operations and maintenance (O&M) procedures to allow the introduction of TPON systems into BT's existing O&M architecture; to identify the network management requirements; and to gain an improved understanding of the wider implications for mass deployment of fiber in the loop. The design of the testbed involved a passive optical network, a head-end multiplexer, and a remote-end multiplexer. The O&M development process of iterating procedure definition, prototyping, experimentation, and evaluation has proven successful in helping to define the optimum O&M procedures and tools.<>

The authors report a novel moments-based classifier to classify MPSK (M-ary phase shift keying) signals by using the moments of the phase utilizing the exact phase distribution. When compared with a case in which the Tikhonov function is used to approximate the asymptotic distribution of the phase, the new classifier with 1024 samples offered a 2 dB improvement. The 2 dB improvement is offered when the probability of misclassification is 0.01. Furthermore, improvement in performance can be obtained by increasing the length of the observation interval.<>

The delivery of multimedia information over future public networks may require sophisticated control facilities. In order both to minimize segment delivery latencies and to maximize network utilization, the delivery control facility must preallocate and release network resources based on dynamic models of both the interactive multimedia document and the network topology. It is shown that, by expressing these models as labeled access graphs that incorporate the relevant statistics, the algorithm for optimized delivery can be specified by a small set of rules. An optimization mechanism that utilizes the algorithm is described, and how it should obtain its input parameters and how it should be executed are specified. The practical validity of the mechanism is discussed for a group of services which includes video-on-demand and interactive electronic magazines.<>

A scheme is proposed to convert the data formats between the HIPPI (high performance parallel interface) and ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) protocols. A possible method of implementing the HIPPI broadband terminal adaptor (HIPPI-BTA), which interfaces multiple HIPPI channels to the SONET (synchronous optical network)/ATM network, is also presented. A preliminary study indicated that the HIPPI interface of the high performance computer hosts and the SONET/ATM standards of the future broadband communication networks have a high potential to work well with each other.<>
