Latest Patents

Chang’s listed patents address virtual circuit identification and path allocation in switching systems.

“Enhanced Virtual Circuit Allocation Methods and Systems for Multi-Stage Switching Elements” describes a system and method for routing data through a switching node made up of multiple switching elements and links. A virtual circuit identification algorithm determines a path-selection formula intended to distribute data traffic evenly through the node.

“Methods and System of Virtual Circuit Identification Based on Bit Permutation of Link Numbers for Multi-Stage Elements” presents a method for assigning paths through an interconnection network of switching elements and links. It uses the network’s physical restrictions to create a logical representation of its architecture, then considers traffic patterns to balance data across links. The resulting virtual channel identifiers determine paths through the network.

Career Highlights

Chang’s patents reflect a focus on network architecture, virtual circuits, and traffic distribution. The described techniques aim to improve how data paths are selected and how traffic is spread across switching elements and links.
