Domain–Specific High–Level Modeling and Synthesis for ATM Switch Prototyping

ATM switch, the core technology of an ATM networking system, is one of the major products in Fujitsu telecommunication business. However, current gate–level design methodology can no longer satisfy its stringent time–to–market requirement. It becomes necessary to exploit high–level methodology to specify and synthesize the design at an abstraction level higher than logic gates. This paper presents our prototyping experience on domain–specific high–level modeling and synthesis for Fujitsu ATM switch design. We propose a high–level design methodology using VHDL, where ATM switch architectural features are considered during behavior modeling, and a high–level synthesis compiler, MEBS, is prototyped to synthesize the behavior model down to a gate–level implementation. Since the specific ATM switch architecture is incorporated into both modeling and synthesis phases, a high–quality design is efficiently derived. The synthesis results shows that given the design constraints, the proposed high–level design methodology can produce a gate–level implementation by MEBS with about 15 percent area reduction in shorter design cycle when compared with manual design.

Intelligent Video Traffic Smooth Mechanism for Multimedia Communication

A principal challenge in supporting real-time video services over ATM is the need to provide synchronous play-out in the face of stochastic end-to-end network delays. In this paper, an intelligent traffic smooth mechanism ( ITSM ) is proposed to meet the continuity requirement which is composed of a back-propagation neural network ( BPNN ) traffic predictor, a play-out buffer, and a fuzzy neural network ( FNN ) based play-out rate determinator. The BPNN traffic predictor online predicts the mean packet rate of the traffic in the future interval ( FI ) and the FNN is designed to adaptively determinate the play-out time according to the number of packets in the buffer and the traffic character predicted. Simulation results show that compared to the window mechanism, ITSM achieves high continuity with accepted delay. Furthermore, ITSM can be adaptively modified to meet the QoS of different kinds of services by FNN parameter training.     

Improved TDM switching assignments for variable and fixed burst length

In this paper we present two algorithms for improved satellite‐switched TDM slot assignments of N × N traffic matrices under K transponders/carriers (simultaneous connections), 1?K?N. The first algorithm applies to data switching with variable burst length and achieves optimum transmission time with a significantly lower number of switching configurations than a previously proposed algorithm, while still having the same time complexity (O(N⁴)). Experimental results demonstrate the advantage. The second algorithm applies to the case of fixed burst length and offers a faster complexity of O(L·N²), where L is the minimum transmission time, at the cost of occasionally missing the minimum. Extensive simulations indicate that the difference from the minimum is rare and is at most one. They also show that the presented algorithm even improves a previous one which was proposed for the fixed burst length case and has the same time complexity but uses K=N.

VC Management for Heterogeneous QoS Multicast Transmissions

A crucial component of the interaction between ATM's and the Internet's Quality of Service (QoS) architectures is the efficient mapping of RSVP (Resource reSerVation Protocol) as the Internet's signalling protocol onto the according ATM mechanisms. In particular, this article focuses on one of the most contrary characteristics of RSVP and ATM signalling. This is the support for heterogeneous reservations by RSVP over the ATM subnetwork, taking into account that ATM only allows for a homogeneous QoS within a single Virtual Circuit (VC). We present previous approaches to the solution of this problem and argue for more sophisticated and efficient approaches to manage ATM VCs taking into consideration ATM tariffs and resource consumption.
