switching control
11Control plane — In routing, the control plane is the part of the router architecture that is concerned with drawing the network map, or the information in a (possibly augmented) routing table that defines what to do with incoming packets. Control plane functions …
12control unit — (CU) 1. Central processor of a telephone switching device. 2. A device that concentrates data from several terminals onto a single communications line. Also called cluster controller …
13Sliding mode control — In control theory, sliding mode control is a type of variable structure control where the dynamics of a nonlinear system is altered via application of a high frequency switching control. This is a state feedback control scheme where the feedback… …
14Optical burst switching — (OBS) is an optical networking technique that allows dynamic sub wavelength switching of data. OBS is viewed as a compromise between the yet unfeasible full optical packet switching (OPS) and the mostly static optical circuit switching (OCS). It… …
15Circuit switching — is a methodology of implementing a telecommunications network in which two network nodes establish a dedicated communications channel (circuit) through the network before the nodes may communicate. The circuit guarantees the full bandwidth of the …
16Number Five Crossbar Switching System — The Number Five Crossbar Switching System or 5XB switch, designed by Bell Labs and made by Western Electric, was in use in Bell System telephone exchanges from 1948 to the 1980s. Its principal use was as a Class 5 telephone switch, though… …
17Direct torque control — (DTC) is one method used in variable frequency drives to control the torque (and thus finally the speed) of three phase AC electric motors. This involves calculating an estimate of the motor s magnetic flux and torque based on the measured… …
18Packet switching — is a digital networking communications method that groups all transmitted data – regardless of content, type, or structure – into suitably sized blocks, called packets. Packet switching features delivery of variable bit rate data streams… …
19Railway switching networks — General PurposeRailway centralization is designed for controlling all the switches and signals within a railway station or its area. Control of the system is exercised from a single point. Rail circuits work as sensors (monitoring the traffic on… …
20Bank switching — (also known as paging , but only loosely related to the ordinary meaning of paging in computing) was a technique common in 8 bit microcomputer systems, to increase the amount of addressable RAM and ROM without extending the address bus. Bank… …
