A forwarding table generation method is provided. The method includes: determining, by a forwarding device, a first timeslot set, where the first timeslot set includes multiple timeslots during which the forwarding device sends, to a first device by using a first flexible Ethernet group, multiple encoded data blocks generated by a physical coding sublayer; determining, by the forwarding device, a second timeslot set, where the second timeslot set includes multiple timeslots during which the forwarding device receives, by using a second FlexE group, the multiple encoded data blocks sent by a second device; and generating, by the forwarding device, a forwarding table, where the forwarding table includes a mapping relationship between the second FlexE group and the multiple timeslots included in the second timeslot set, and between the first FlexE group and the multiple timeslots included in the first timeslot set.

Aspects described herein relate to managing coexistence of multiple radio access technology (RAT) components in a device. Information related to an upcoming time period can be sent to a first radio access technology (RAT) component from a second RAT component. The first RAT component can select a resource to transmit a first RAT packet to minimize collision with the upcoming time period of the second RAT.

An Internet of Things (IoT) system is illustrated, which has a power supply device and an IoT device. The power supply device electrically connected to the IoT device provides power to the IoT device. The IoT device has a memory unit, a control unit and a networking unit. When the power device generates a surge configuration, the control unit executes a surge control command stored in the control unit after receiving the surge configuration. The surge control command drives the control unit selectively executes one of modes according to the surge configuration. The modes comprise a user mode and a reset mode. The present disclosure utilizes the surge configuration to restart and/or reset the IoT device, and thus the IoT device can be reset without installing a reset button.

A receiver circuit includes a feedback loop including a device. The receiver circuit also includes a register and a sequencer. The sequencer is configured to, responsive to an error signal being below a threshold value, cause the register to store a value indicative of the state of the feedback loop. The sequencer is also configured to cause the feedback loop to transition to a lower power state, and, responsive to a detected wake-up event, cause the previously stored value indicative of the state of the feedback loop to be loaded from the register into the device and enable the feedback loop.

Intelligent illumination device are disclosed that use components in an LED light to perform one or more of a wide variety of desirable lighting functions for very low cost. The LEDs that produce light can be periodically turned off momentarily, for example, for a duration that the human eye cannot perceive, in order for the light to receive commands optically. The optically transmitted commands can be sent to the light, for example, using a remove control device. The illumination device can use the LEDs that are currently off to receive the data and then configure the light accordingly, or to measure light. Such light can be ambient light for a photosensor function, or light from other LEDs in the illumination device to adjust the color mix.

Various embodiments relate to detecting collisions on a communication network. A method may include transmitting a first signal to a shared bus. The method may also include observing a second signal at the shared bus during the transmitting. Further, the method may include detecting a collision on the shared bus in response to an amplitude of the second signal being one of greater than a first threshold and less than a second threshold.

A transceiver for sending and receiving data from a controller area network (CAN) bus is disclosed. The transceiver includes a microcontroller port, a transmitter and a receiver, wherein the transceiver is configured to determine bit timings from a data frame received by the receiver. The transceiver is further configured to detect attempts to introduce a signal glitch in a predetermined portion of the data frame and upon detection of the signal glitch, the transceiver is configured to invalidate the data frame on a transmission line and/or disable the transmitter for a predetermined period.

A system and method for testing of automated contact center customer response systems using a customer response testing system and a real time conversation engine, wherein the customer response testing system generates simulated human queries using persona profiles, sends test cases containing those queries to a contact center under test, and receives and analyzes the responses to determine whether the contact center’s automated response systems understand the queries and respond appropriately.
