Abstract

Disclosed is a synchronized adaptive infrastructure (SAIN) network. Switches, synchronized nodes, and persistent connections can be used. Also described are methods and apparatus for the following functions: disjoint partitioning; data aggregation and disaggregation; interfacing with packet-based networks; bandwidth management; use of control vectors for security, addressing, error control, routing, etc. Synchronized networks are disclosed which enable fast connection set up and release in a tiered hierarchy of circuit switched nodes. Methods of synchronizing and transforming data streams are disclosed, as well as overcoming Doppler, environmental, and frequency offset effects.

Claims

1. A method of addressing a first space/time stream of data to facilitate its timely and accurate transmission to an address, the method comprising:

clustering a first stream of data into one or more space/time frames in a connection domain comprising multiple connections, said frames having variable lengths,

forming a super frame in the connection domain by adding one or a plurality of cellets for each frame within the first data stream, including a cellet for the beginning frame of the first data stream; and

transforming the super frame, by a computing system comprising computer hardware, to form an implicitly addressed second space/time stream of data in a space/time domain;

using the implicitly addressed second space/time stream of data to identify which data belongs to which of the multiple connections, and thereby providing timely and accurate transmission to the address.
