An integrated network gives priority to message traffic associated with a first network over message traffic associated with a second network. This arrangement allows a private network, such an emergency network, to be integrated with a public network, such as a cellular network, while preventing the cellular network traffic from blocking emergency network traffic. Lower priority connections can be preempted by higher priority connections. The integrated network can migrate a request from a first node to a neighboring node and can re-route a connection around a failed link.

Integrated network system

A data communication system includes in middleware a transmission task that transmits a message to a receiving host computer through a network, considering the transmission capability of the transmitting host computer and the receiving capability of the receiving host computer. This solves the problem in a conventional data communication system in which, if a host computer loses a token after acquiring it, operator stations and the like connected to a network are unable to send a message.

Data communication system for and method of avoiding computer network transmissions of excessive length

A traffic monitoring, driver assistance, and communications system includes lane terminals arranged along a direction of travel of a highway, each lane terminal including a sensor for detecting passage of a vehicle, a communication antenna, a terminal transceiver for communicating with a passing vehicle through the communication antenna, and a network backbone linking the lane terminals to a data processor for compiling information on passing vehicles sensed. The system permits complex toll assessment on toll roads. By using a larger number of short range antennas, cellular communication is possible with a very large number of moving vehicles without increasing bandwidth because the cells are relatively small.
