A memory system includes a non-volatile memory, a buffer memory, and a controller. The controller is configured to write data corresponding to a write command received from a host in the buffer memory, and based on an indication from the host, do not write the data stored in the buffer memory into the non-volatile memory unless a non-volatilization event occurs, the non-volatilization event being one of a flush request from the host and a detection of a power shutdown.

Memory system

According to one embodiment, a communication apparatus is provided. The communication apparatus receives first content including first additional information from a first terminal, generates second additional information, adds the second additional information to second content, and transmits the second content to a second terminal. The second additional information includes an authentication code unique to blocks in the second content and the communication apparatus and a signature unique to the authentication code. The communication apparatus generates receipt information and transmits the receipt information to an external apparatus when a transmission source of the first content is verified to be the first terminal based on the first additional information.

Communication apparatus

A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory having memory dies controlled in parallel and each including a plurality of physical blocks, and a controller. The controller manages a plurality of logical areas for storing data portions received from the host and parities calculated from the data portions, the logical areas including first and second logical areas for storing first and second parity groups, respectively. Each first parity group includes k data portions received from the host and m parities calculated therefrom. Each second parity group includes k' data portions received from the host and m&#x2032; parities calculated therefrom. Also, the controller maps each logical area to storage locations in the non-volatile memory dies such that the data portions and the parities of any one parity group are each stored in a different physical block in a set of physical blocks selected from different non-volatile memory dies.

Memory system and control method

According to one embodiment, a storage unit, a management unit that acquires attributes of communication apparatuses from a plurality of the communication apparatuses and stores identifiers of the communication apparatuses and the attributes in the storage unit in association with each other as communication apparatus information, and a selection unit that selects a distributor apparatus that is the communication apparatus distributing a content to the other communication apparatuses as a radio signal based on the communication apparatus information are included.

Data processor, content distribution system, and communication apparatus

A memory system capable of being connected to a host, includes a non-volatile memory that includes a plurality of non-volatile memory dies, and a controller that is electrically connected to the non-volatile memory. The controller is configured to manage the plurality of non-volatile memory dies as a plurality of die sets, each die set including two or more of the non-volatile memory dies to which priorities are assigned respectively, select one die set from the plurality of die sets based on an identifier received from the host, and select, based on the assigned priorities, a non-volatile memory die from the selected die set as a writing destination die of write data received from the host.

According to one embodiment, a communication apparatus includes a radio interface unit that sends a data message to a receiver and extracts, when a message sent by the receiver via unicast with an optimized transmission rate is received, rate information indicating the optimized transmission rate of the receiver from the received message, a message processor that generates the data message, in which a multicast identifier indicating a multicast group is a destination, and outputs the data message to the radio interface unit, and a selector that selects, according to the rate information, a data message transmission rate to send the data message.

Communication apparatus and communication method

According to one embodiment, a communication apparatus includes a congestion degree calculating unit and an operation mode setting unit. The congestion degree calculating unit calculates a third congestion degree related to wireless communication based on a first congestion degree of first wireless communication and a second congestion degree of second wireless communication. In the first wireless communication, peer-to-peer communication is performed directly between communication apparatuses, and in the second wireless communication, communication is performed through a wireless communication device. The operation mode setting unit switches an operation mode of the first wireless communication based on the third congestion degree to either of a mode in which the communication apparatus transmits content or a mode in which the communication apparatus receives content.

According to one embodiment, a communication apparatus includes an operation mode storage unit that stores a mode in which the communication apparatus operates as a wireless base station or a terminal and a non-volatile memory, wherein a transmission message is output to the outside when the communication apparatus operates as the wireless base station, data included in a received reception message is stored in the non-volatile memory when the communication apparatus operates as the terminal, and when the communication apparatus operates as the wireless base station, after all data transmitted from a first external wireless base station is received, if a communication quality with the first wireless base station is less than a predetermined value, and no message is received from a wireless base station other than the first wireless base station, a channel selection and switching process is performed, and then the operation mode is changed from the terminal to the wireless base station.

According to one embodiment, a communication device includes a first circuitry, a second circuitry and a third circuitry. The first circuitry establishes a wireless connection with a first communication device, in accordance with a communication request relating to data communication. The second circuitry measures a communication environment of the communication device to acquire communication environment data. The third circuitry establishes a logical connection with a second communication device relating to the communication request via the wireless connection and controls so as to perform the data communication with the second communication device in accordance with the communication environment data.

Communication device, communication control method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

According to the embodiments, a communication apparatus stores therein an operation mode indicating whether the communication apparatus is a publisher or a subscriber, and includes a message processing unit that generates a transmission message and analyzes a reception message and a nonvolatile memory. When the communication apparatus is subscriber, the communication apparatus sends a repair message to request a retransmission of a data chunk not successively received. When the communication apparatus is publisher, the communication apparatus selectively retransmits the data chunk based on the repair message.

A mode of a publisher or a subscriber is stored. Also, a first identifier indicating affiliation to a first group is stored. In a case of the publisher, a transmission message including ToC information, which is a list of the first identifiers and data to be transmitted, is transmitted to an outside. In a case of the subscriber, when a received message includes the first identifier, data included in the message is stored into a non-volatile memory, and when it is determined that all data in the ToC information stored in the received message are already received and that the number of publishers is less than a threshold, the stored mode is changed to the publisher.

According to the embodiments, when a communication apparatus is a publisher, a transmission message including a first identifier is transmitted using first transmission power, when the communication apparatus is a subscriber, data of a reception message including the first identifier is stored in a nonvolatile memory, when at least a part of the reception message cannot be received, a repair message for requesting retransmission of the reception message is transmitted from a wireless interface unit using second transmission power, and when there is no response, a repair message is transmitted using third transmission power that is larger than the second transmission power.
