Title: Glenn A Rogers: Innovator in Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation
Introduction
Glenn A Rogers is a notable inventor based in Forest Lake, MN (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of communications technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative spirit and technical expertise.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is focused on dynamic bandwidth allocation within a communications channel. This invention presents a communications device that allows for the dynamic allocation of bandwidth on an unswitched data path based on the current utilization of one or more switched data channels. The device operates over the local loop of a digital communications carrier, such as a T1 line, which features various time division multiplexed channels. Each data channel can be configured to either carry unswitched data or function as a switched channel. The switched channels maintain status information about their current state, enabling switched data communication when active and allowing the unswitched data path to utilize the channel when idle.
In one embodiment, channel status information is communicated to a remote unit by altering a redundant robbed-bit signaling bit in a multiframe. In another embodiment, channel status is determined by monitoring switching information already transmitted about the channel, requiring a preset time delay for proper synchronization of bandwidth switching. Unswitched data is transmitted over the switched data channels using all bit locations except those occupied by the four robbed-bit signaling bits. This innovative method for dynamically reallocating bandwidth enhances the efficiency of data transmission.
