The system and method of utilizing frequency waterfilling and implicit coordination to mitigate signal jamming in Link 16 systems. The system and method of utilizing frequency waterfilling for Link 16 includes updates to both software and firmware. The frequency waterfilling approach for Link 16 modifies the process by which data bits are allocated to hops based on an assessment of hops affected by jamming, thus avoiding portions of the spectrum occupied by a jammer.

Communication apparatus includes multiple interfaces configured for connection to a packet data network. A memory, coupled to the interfaces, is configured as a shared buffer to contain packets in multiple sets of queues for transmission to the network. Each set of queues receives in the shared buffer a respective allocation having an allocation size that varies over time in response to an amount of space in the shared buffer that is unused at any given time. A controller is configured to apply congestion control to a respective fraction of the packets that are queued for transmission from each set of queues in the shared buffer to the network, such that the respective fraction is set for each set of queues at any given time in response to a relation between a length of the queues in the set and the allocation size of the respective allocation at the given time.

Provided is a procedure for receiving response information in response to a request message in an M2M system. Such a procedure may include transmitting a request message; determining a response type parameter corresponding to the request message; and receiving response information according to the response type parameter, wherein one of blocking, synchronous non-blocking (nonBlockingRequestSynch) and asynchronous non-blocking (nonBlockingRequestAsynch) is set as the response type parameter.

In an aspect, an apparatus obtains a payload to be transmitted to a receiver device, obtains a virtual general-purpose input/output and messaging interface (VGMI) packet that includes at least the payload, a virtual channel identifier, and a function bit configured as a virtual channel marker bit to indicate that the VGMI packet includes the virtual channel identifier, wherein the virtual channel identifier indicates information associated with processing the payload, and transmits the VGMI packet to the receiver device. In another aspect, an apparatus receives a VGMI packet from a transmitter device, wherein the VGMI packet includes at least a payload and a virtual channel identifier, determines that the VGMI packet includes the virtual channel identifier based on a function bit configured as a virtual channel marker bit, wherein the virtual channel identifier indicates information associated with processing the payload, and processes the data based on the information.

Each of a plurality of input units (110) outputs an input notification (104) at the input timing at which input data (101) is input and outputs input data at the synchronization timing which is the timing of the later one of the input timing and a timing at which an input notification is output from another input unit. Each of a plurality of computing units (120) starts a computation when input data output from an associated input unit is input.
