1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a communication apparatus which communicates through a plurality of data transmission channels.
2. Description of the Related Art
In these days, the demand for digital-radio data communication has been increasing. To respond to the demand, spread spectrum communication, which is one of digital-radio communication methods, has been used. In spread spectrum communication, slow frequency hopping has frequently been used due to its simplified configuration.
In slow frequency hopping, the used frequency is changed for each set of a plurality of data bits to reduce effects of narrow-band noise when data is re-transmitted if an error occurs, and to obtain a frequency-diversity effect. However, the sending and receiving sides are required to be synchronized to effect frequency switching.
Conventionally, to get synchronization, the receiving side slightly converts the phase of a hopping pattern until the phases of the hopping patterns used in the sending and receiving sides match. Use of a matched filter has been proposed for high-speed synchronization.
The above-described conventional system has drawbacks, complicated hardware as well as long synchronization-acquisition time.
When there are a plurality of hopping patterns and a plurality of radio communication channels, the same frequency may be used at the same time for different transmissions, increasing the data error rate.
Due to these drawbacks, frequency-hopping multiple access could not be readily implemented. As a result, it was difficult to use available frequencies efficiently, and it is hard to configure a system having large transmission capacity.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to increase transmission capacity.
Another object of the present invention is to implement high-speed synchronization acquisition.
Still another object of the present invention is to make a circuit configuration compact.
Yet another object of the present invention is to reduce the data error rate.
A further object of the present invention is to maintain the transmission rate regardless of increased traffic.
Other objects of the present invention will become clear with the following descriptions of embodiments and accompanying drawings.
The invention is directed to a communication system having plural data channels and a data channel selector. A data channel is selected and selection data indicating the selected data channel is transmitted. Data packets are then transmitted through the selected data channels.
In this embodiment, a case in which the first data terminal 11 sends data to the second data terminal 12 will be described below first.
When the CPU 24 of the first radio adapter 11′ is in the standby state (step S1), if the first data terminal generates a data transmission request (step S2), the data terminal 11 sends a data packet to the radio adapter 11′. Conforming to the usual Ethernet interface rule, a data packet to be sent is about 50 to 1,500 octets long. The data packet is transferred to the RAM 25 through the LAN controller 23.
At this stage, a radio channel to be used for transmitting data needs to be determined between the first radio adapter 11′ and the second radio adapter 12′. All idling radio adapters, including the second radio adapter 12′, are in their standby states at frequency channel 1 (F1) which is determined to be used for control in advance. The CPU 24 of the first radio adapter 11′ uses a carrier detection signal 31 to monitor the use of frequency channel 1 (step S3). When the channel is available for transmission, the CPU 24 creates a control packet (transmission-request control packet) shown in FIG. 3 and sends it (steps S4 and S5).
A control packet contains information items, such as a transmission-destination address, the frequency channel number selected for data transmission (for example, No. 4), and a packet type (transmission request or receiving confirmation). To provide the characteristics of slow frequency hopping, which changes the frequency used in a short period, the CPU 24 selects a channel other than those selected most recently in step S4. This can be achieved by selecting a frequency channel from channels F3 to F22 in a predetermined order. After the transmission-request control packet has been sent, the CPU 24 switches the channel with a channel selection signal 32 and the first radio adapter becomes idle at frequency channel 2 used for a second control (step S6).
When the CPU 24 of the second radio adapter 12′ is in the standby state (step S21), if the CPU 24 of the radio adapter receives the transmission-request control packet (step S22), the CPU sends a control packet (receive-ready control packet) for acknowledging start of transmission through a frequency channel 2 (F2) (step S23 and S24), then it enters the standby state at frequency channel 4 used for data, which has been specified in the transmission request packet previously sent (step S25).
In the procedure described above, both terminals have decided the frequency channel in which a data packet is to be transferred. The first radio adapter starts sending a data packet in the following way. When the CPU 24 of the first radio adapter 11′ receives the receive-ready control packet within a certain time, it monitors, in the same procedure as that used in transmitting a control packet, the use of frequency channel 4 to be used, by measuring the field intensity at the frequency of channel 4. If the channel is being used, the CPU waits for the channel to become available for transmission (step S9). When the channel becomes available for transmission, the CPU 24 follows a data packet transmission procedure (step S10). The data previously sent from the first data terminal 11 is read from the RAM 25. The CPU adds a flag, transmission destination address, transmission-source address, and CRC check section for error detection to the read data to form a frame, and sends it to the radio section 28. The radio section 28 sends a preamble signal, then the data.
Meanwhile, the CPU 24 of the second radio adapter 12′, which is the receiving side in this case, monitors the use of frequency channel 4 to be used (steps S26 and S27). When the CPU receives the packet, it stores the received data in the RAM 25 only when the destination address described in the packet matches that of the terminal and no error is detected in the packet according to the check at the CRC check section. At the same time, the CPU 24 forms an acknowledgement packet and sends it to the first radio adapter 11′ using channel 4 (step S28).
When the CPU 24 in the transmission side receives the acknowledgement packet through channel 4 (step S11), it terminates the data transmission. When data communication is terminated, the CPU waits to receive the next data from the first terminal and also enters the standby state at channel 1 to receive a control packet sent from other radio adapters (step S1, and step S21).
If the transmission side does not receive the acknowledgement packet within a certain time (step S12), the transmission side sends the data repeatedly a certain number of times or until it receives the acknowledgement packet. When the transmission side sends the data a certain number of times, if it does not yet receive the acknowledgement packet (step S14), the control flow goes to step S3. The number of times data is repeatedly sent may be zero (not sent again).
When the first terminal sends data packets successively, the above-described procedure is repeated. In that case, as described above, a frequency channel different from the previously used channel is used to obtain the characteristics of slow frequency hopping. This also applies to a case in which the data packet is re-transmitted if the transmission side does not receive the acknowledgment after retransmission for the specified number of times, as shown in FIG. 6.
Communication between two terminals has been described above in this embodiment. Using the same sequence, simultaneous communication among a plurality of terminals in a multiple-access network can be allowed.
Referring now to
Since the third and fourth data terminals 13 and 14 incorporate radio transfer sections corresponding to radio adapters, they need not form Ethernet frames when a data transmission request occurs. They can directly form a radio packet.
The third data terminal 13 sends a control packet through channel 1. Before sending this control packet, the terminal 13 may monitor the use of frequency channels and input in the control packet to be sent a channel number which is not being used by the first and second radio adapters (for example, channel 8), enabling data packet transmission to be performed quickly.
When the third data terminal 13 receives a receive-ready control packet from the fourth data terminal 14, the data terminal 13 again checks whether the specified frequency channel (channel 8 in this case) is not occupied, and then starts sending a data packet.
When the number of communication terminals increases, control channels may be congested. When the ratio between a control-packet length and a data-packet length is made almost equal to the ratio between the number of control channels and the number of data channels, all channels are equally used, making throughput maximum.
Using a multiple-access network as described above, transmission capacity can be expanded with slow frequency hopping. When 20 channels are provided each of which has a transmission capacity of 500 kbps, for example, system capacity is conventionally only 500 kbps because only a single hopping pattern can be used in terms of difficulty in synchronization acquisition. In this embodiment, however, when 20 channels are provided each of which has a transmission capacity of 500 kbps (the total capacity is 10 Mbps), the system can obtain a transmission path having a transmission capacity of 9 Mbps, excluding two control channels.
The time one terminal occupies a channel can meet the time required in slow frequency hopping. In the Ethernet interface, for example, since the maximum packet length is about 1,500 octets (12 Kbits), the time required for transmitting one packet in a channel having a transmission capacity of 500 kbps, namely the time one frequency channel is occupied is only about 24 milliseconds.
As described above, synchronization can be easily acquired in slow frequency hopping and a multiple-access network can be implemented.
This embodiment not only increases transmission capacity, but also provides an advantage that transmission capacity does not drop even when the number of terminals increases. In data communication networks, such as an Ethernet network, it is known that the transmission capacity per one terminal rapidly decreases when the number of terminals increases because a single line is used. This can also apply to a radio line. In a conventional system, which could not implement a multiple-access network, as the number of terminal used increases, the transmission capacity per one terminal abruptly decreases.
When a small number of terminals are used, the conventional system has a larger transmission capacity.
When four or more terminals are used, the system according to this embodiment has a larger transmission capacity per terminal and retains a constant transmission rate up to about 20 terminals since the system has 20 channels, F3 to F22.
Although the conventional system uses the expensive modulation method, if the same modulation method is used, the system according to this embodiment has a larger transmission capacity per terminal at any number of terminals. Furthermore, since the system according to this embodiment holds a constant transmission rate, this system is suited to transmission of real-time data, such as audio and images, which does not allow any transmission delay.
A second embodiment according to the present invention will be described below.
In the first embodiment described above, a control channel is used to specify a frequency channel to be used for transmitting a data packet before the data packet is sent. When packets are successively transmitted, control channels can be less frequently used by inserting data specifying a channel to be used for the next packet and its packet number in the current data packet to be sent, as shown in FIG. 9.
Errors can be controlled with a usual selection re-transmission method because each data packet has its packet number. If the receiving side finds an error, only the packet in which the error has been found is transmitted again.
Employing these methods reduces times control channels are used and further increases the system throughput.
A third embodiment according to the present invention will be described below.
In the embodiments described above, data to be sent is transmitted on a radio line without any processing. When processing, such as adding error correction codes, is applied to data to be sent, however, the same advantages are obtained. In addition, reduction in data errors further increases actual transmission capacity.
In the configuration described above, when a data transmission request occurs, data is stored in RAM 25 and a transmission request is sent through a control channel, in the same way as the first embodiment. Since a control packet contains data as short as 30 bytes or less, the transmission error rate is low. Therefore, error correction coding is not applied.
A data packet is longer than a control packet, being about 50 to 1,500 bytes long. A data-packet transmission procedure is the same as the control-packet transmission procedure. A frequency channel to be used (for example, channel 4) is monitored. When the channel is occupied, the radio adapter waits until the channel becomes available for transmission. When the channel becomes available, a data packet starts being sent.
The data received from the terminal and stored in the RAM 25 is sent to the error-correction encoder 30. In this embodiment, a code 196 bytes long (196, 144 code) is used.
When the adapter 22′ receives data from the terminal 21, it counts the length of the received data in bytes and checks whether the count is a multiple of 144. If the received data is 144 bytes long or less, data FF (in hexadecimal) is added repeatedly until the total number of bytes becomes 144, and then all the data is sent to the error-correction encoder 30. If a received data is 100 bytes long, for example, data FF is repeatedly added to fill 44 bytes, which is the difference between 144 bytes and the number of bytes in this data, and all the data is sent to the error-correction encoder 30. If received data is more than 144 bytes long, data FF is repeatedly added to make the number of bytes in the data a multiple of 144, and all the data is sent to the error-correction encoder 30. When received data is 1,000 bytes long, for example, data FF is repeatedly added to fill eight bytes, since the smallest multiple of 144 over 1,000 is 1,008.
The error-correction encoder 30 outputs the coded data of 196 bytes at a time and the data is stored in the RAM 25. The RAM 25 sends the data to the communication controller 26, and the communication controller 26 adds a radio header, including a flag, a transmission-destination address, a transmission-source address, and CRC check section for error detection, and data indicating the length of the data received from the terminal (1,000, for example), to the coded data, and all the data is sent through a radio line in the format shown in FIG. 12.
When the transmission-destination address matches the address of the radio adapter 22′ at the receiving side, the adapter stores the received data in the RAM 25. The data is sent from the RAM 25 to the error-correction decoder 30 in units of 196 bytes, and error correction processing is applied to the received data. The error-correction decoder 30 outputs the data in units of 144 bytes. The data is stored in the RAM 25. Among the data, only a part whose length matches the number of bytes in the data received from the terminal (this information has been added in the header of the received packet), is transferred from the RAM 25 to the LAN controller 23, and then sent to the corresponding terminal through the LAN controller 23. The FF data added when the data was transmitted is deleted here.
When an error which cannot be corrected is not found in the received packet, an acknowledgement packet is formed and sent to the radio adapter at channel 4. Since the acknowledge packet is short, it is sent through a radio line without being error-correction-coded.
When the transmission side receives the receive acknowledgement packet, it terminates the data transmission. It waits to receive the next data, and at the same time, enters the standby state at channel 1 to receive a control packet from other radio adapters.
Applying the above-described error correction processing reduces the data error rate, reducing data re-transmission and the like. Thus, a radio line is used more effectively. As a result, actual transmission capacity further increases compared with that in the first embodiment.
In the above-described first and second embodiments, different control channels are used at the transmission side and receive side. When a single channel is used at both sides, the same advantages can be obtained. A fourth embodiment describes such a case. In the fourth embodiment, the ratio between the length of a control packet and that of a data packet is carefully set. When the number of control channels is reduced, control channels may be easily congested. To avoid such a congestion, a control packet needs to be made sufficiently short.
In a fifth embodiment, the receive side may transmit a receive-ready command at the channel specified by the transmission side (for example, channel F4).
In the above-described embodiments, only the system employing slow frequency hopping was described. However, the present invention can be applied to any system having a plurality of channels. For example, the same operation can be implemented in a system having time-division channels or a system using the direct sequence spread-spectrum method. The direct sequence spread-spectrum method spreads data with random codes having frequencies higher than that of the data. Assigning different codes to different channels enables a system using the direct sequence spread-spectrum method to be multiple-accessed.
In such a method, specifying a code used for sending a data packet, with a code used for a control channel, facilitates the acquisition of synchronization for each packet.
In the above-described embodiments, an electromagnetic wave is used as transmission means. The same advantages can be obtained when beam or infrared is used as a transmission medium. Assigning different wavelengths of beam or infrared to a plurality of channels enables the same system to be implemented.
The present invention can also provide various embodiments other than those described above within the scope specified in the claims described below.

What is HPV?
HPV stands for human papilloma virus. Genital HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus in the US. More than half of sexually active people in the US have HPV at some time during their lives. It is spread through direct sexual contact.
HPV is important mainly because it can cause cervical cancer in women. Globally, cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer in women. The virus can also cause genital warts in both men and women.
What types of HPV vaccine are available and what are the benefits?
UHS provides Gardasil-9, which offers protection against nine HPV strains.
UHS does not provide Gardasil 4 or Cervarix because Gardasil-9 offers greater protection:
Please note that if a person is already infected with a type of HPV, vaccination will not prevent disease from that type.
How is HPV vaccine given?
HPV vaccine is given as a 3-dose series. The second dose is given 2 months after the first dose, and the third dose is given 6 months after the first dose.
How to get HPV vaccination at UHS:
Vaccination is available by appointment. To schedule, see Schedule an Appointment call 734-764-8320.
To receive your second or third HPV shot at UHS:
If you got your first shot at UHS, bring your immunization card with you, or allow extra time so we can order your medical record.
If you got your first shot outside UHS, request the record of your HPV previous shot(s) be faxed to UHS at 734-763-7352. Request that your name and date of previous shot(s) be included.
Did you start the Cervarix or Gardasil-4 series elsewhere? UHS does not provide these vaccines, but you may choose to continue here with Gardasil-9. You do not need to restart the series, however you will need 3 total doses of HPV vaccine.
Are you less than 18 years old?
If so, you will need consent from a parent or guardian for vaccination. You can use the UHS Consent for Treatment of a Minor form (PDF).
What is the cost at UHS?
Prices and Insurance for this Clinic (PDF)
Does insurance cover HPV vaccination?
UHS will attempt to bill most insurances for HPV vaccine. Please check with your insurance company to verify coverage.
The U-M Aetna health insurance plans for 2015-16 (Domestic Student Health Insurance Plan and International Student and Scholar Health Insurance Plan) cover 100% of cost for this vaccine series through age 26.
Premier Care and GradCare cover this vaccine series in full for ages 9 through 26.
HPV vaccination through Washtenaw County Health Department:
Washtenaw County Health Department provides low-cost HPV vaccination to qualified, underinsured individuals.
Who should get this vaccine?
Gardasil vaccine is recommended for females 11-26 years old and for males ages 11-21, and for males through age 26 who have sex with men or whose immune system is weakened because of HIV infection, other illness, or medications.
UHS does not recommend Cervarix vaccine because it does not protect as well as Gardasil.
Children should get the vaccine through their pediatrician.
It is preferable to receive the vaccine before beginning sexual activity. However, vaccination is still recommended (depending on age) for those who are already sexually active.
Who should NOT get this vaccine?
Anyone with life-threatening allergic reaction to yeast or any other component of HPV vaccine, or to a previous dose of HPV vaccine. Tell your health care provider if you have severe allergies.
Pregnant women should not get the vaccine. However, receiving HPV vaccine when pregnant is not a reason to consider terminating a pregnancy.
People with moderate or severe illness should wait until they recover. People who are mildly ill can still get the vaccine.
HPV vaccine does not appear to have serious side effects. As with any vaccine, however, HPV vaccine could possibly cause serious problems such as severe allergic reaction. The risk is small.
Minor problems may occur (and will likely go away on their own) including:
- Pain, redness, itching or swelling at injection site (arm)
- Mild to moderate fever (100-102 degrees F)
Vaccinated women still need cervical cancer screening (Pap test)
because the vaccine does not protect against all HPV types that cause cervical cancer. See also Pap Tests and HPV.

If Dame is the highest honour that can be bestowed upon an actress then it's time they came up with something extra for Maggie Smith.

As the hottest dish in Hollywood, Bradley Cooper is definitely the right guy to play chef Adam Jones in John Wells's Burnt. When I first interviewed the then young Marco Pierre White, he was a lot like Adam.

Children don't get nearly as much attention as they deserve at the cinema. They remain the untapped captive audience due to the small number of films released specifically for them.
Sometimes it's easy to spot a Jewish cartoon character. Herschel Krustofsky aka Krusty the Clown of The Simpsons or South Park kid Kyle Broslofski. Where it gets tricky is with Gru in Despicable Me, as he has an Eastern European accent, hook nose and overbearing mother, but has yet to come clean about his ancestry.
When you picture a stand-up comedian, Ashley Blaker isn't the first person that comes to mind. Sure, he has a beard like a lot of laughter merchants on the circuit but, unlike them, he also has peyot and wears tzitit, rarely sighted at The Comedy Store.
Admitting to one's enjoyment of a bad-taste movie can be as risky as revealing one's political allegiance (unless it's to the far-left).
It feels like only yesterday that I was watching writer, director and actor Nanni Moretti zip around Italy on his moped in his delightfully witty and whimsical travelogue, Dear Diary.
I can't say I've given a lot of thought to Shakespeare's "lost years". Mulling over ideas for the 37 plays and 154 sonnets that he would compose in the "claimed" years would almost certainly have taken up more than a few weekends, yet that crucial period between obscurity in Stratford-upon- Avon and fame in London remains a mystery. Until now.
In the week leading up to her 45th wedding anniversary, Kate (Charlotte Rampling) is as busy as any hostess organising a party would be. Granted any Jewish hostess would be confused (hysterical) at the fact she has left confirming the function room, menu and buying her dress until a few days before. But smoked salmon starters and matching accessories are not an issue for Kate.
I'm a bit slow with this review as Absolutely Anything opened last week. But August is the silly season and this is a film that truly fits the bill as it is spectacularly silly, a tad saucy and yet suitable for the whole family to giggle at together.
I was rather hoping the press notes for The Gift would contain an embargo preventing reviewers from revealing the twist in the tale. A lot of critics have a laissez-faire attitude to spoilers and the extended trailers in cinemas give away far more than they should, which deprives audiences of experiencing movies as they happen.
The name Iris Apfel won't mean a lot to you unless you sit in the front row during Fashion Week, but once you set eyes on her in the late Albert Maysles' documentary, you'll be reluctant to let her go.
Like the late, great Joan Rivers, Iris is another fabulous New York Jewess with no filter, though it is couture not comedy that occupies the life of this eccentric 89-year-old who rose to fame in
Super-pumped and six-packed Jewish actor Jake Gyllenhaal sweats testosterone in Antoine Fuqua's Southpaw and could probably floor heavyweight Wladimir Klitschko with all the training he did to play boxer Billy "The Great" Hope. The rule of thumb (or fist) for boxing movies is to build a tale of triumph over tragedy around a likeable, but not infallible fighter and the template works.
Best of Enemies presents the war of words that took place between liberal author and social commentator Gore Vidal and right-wing zealot and talk show host, Bill Buckley in 1968.
Films about elderly people moving house because they can't handle the stairs don't come along very often. It's a tough concept to pitch to a studio executive. But silver surfers searching for an apartment with a lift clearly rang true for somebody as it is the story of Ruth & Alex - and I know a lot of people who will really enjoy it.

Fluofarma signed a multiyear collaboration agreement with Roche focused on developing new tools for predicting the hepatotoxicity of early-stage drug candidates. The companies aim to develop miniaturized cell-based assays using high-throughput flow cytrometry along with computational models for predicting hepatotoxicity and safety profiling of compounds in liver cells.
Fluofarma platforms include automated confocal microscopy, automated flow cytometry, as well as laser scanning cytometry and combine cell-based assays with large-scale analysis. The company claims its technologies enable the simultaneous functional analysis of several molecular events in single cells.

How to guides
How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.
Buying guides
Primers buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.
The perfect match - paint mixing
Finding the right combination of colours to match your home and personal taste is essential, but it can often feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Students stay afloat in a tumultuous economy
By Simon McCormack
Kimberley Garcia decided she wanted to make more than $7 an hour.
There was no opportunity to move up the ladder at her job cleaning hotel rooms, so the wife and mother of two decided to apply to Central New Mexico Community College (CNM).
She was excited, but her joy only lasted a few weeks. She soon found out going to school meant putting her job status in peril. Because of her class schedule, Garcia was unable to work the hours her employer needed her to. Garcia lost her job and so did her husband, who worked for a small construction company that folded under the weight of the poor housing market. Garcia and her husband were late on rent and in danger of getting kicked out of their home. Both were attending classes at CNM, and they didn't want to quit.

Odds & Ends
By Devin D. O'Leary
Dateline: Spain—A British expat who speaks only a few words of Spanish has become the "accidental mayor" of a town on the Costa Blanca. Mark Lewis, 58, has been left in charge of San Fulgencio after the mayor, deputy mayor and four senior councilors were all taken into police custody following corruption allegations. Mr. Lewis was given the title as he is the only one of the two councilors from the ruling coalition not to be arrested, reports the Daily Telegraph. Mr. Lewis refused to comment on his new position except to say, "It's only temporary, I hope." Lewis, who lives in Spain with his family, previously held the title of Councilor for Animals, which involved organizing searches for lost pets and monitoring the local animal rescue shelter.
In a reply to the Alibi article "The Definitive KiMo Ghost" [Feature, Oct. 23-29] New Mexico Paranormal Investigators (NMPI) would like the opportunity to refute certain misleading and disparaging claims.

text: J.M. Smucker Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. If 2011 has brought strong performance for Altera, it's done one better for J.M. Smucker ( SJM), the food company behinds such brands as Smucker's, Jif, Folgers and Pillsbury. Shares of the food firm have gained more than 20% so far this year -- and they've more than doubled since the 2009 market bottom. It's that double that makes J.M. Smucker's most recent dividend hike all the more compelling. The 9% dividend increase brings the firm's yield to 2.45% at current prices -- or more than 5% for those who've held since the start of 2009. Like other food companies, Smucker has had to deal with the challenges of rising input costs in the last year or two. Even so, the company's scale has largely spared it from having to tighten its belt too much in 2011. The acquisition of coffee giant Folgers in 2008 substantially changed J.M. Smucker's business -- and the timing meant that Wall Street mostly underappreciated the implications until the recession started to shake itself out. >> Keep the stock market at your fingertips with TheStreet's iPad app. High brand significance is one of the biggest advantages Smucker's has in its corner; consumers have proven less likely to substitute the firm's grocery offerings cheaper store brands. Cash flow generation is impressive at J.M. Smucker, and the firm is easily able to maintain the increased debt load that it took on as a result of bargain-priced expansion during the recession. Expect dividends to remain unencumbered in 2011. Smucker is one of TheStreet Ratings' top-rated food products stocks Prev 2 of 8 Next
