An error recovery method for use in an information communication system which comprises a plurality of nodes connected by links. Information is transferred between the nodes in frames of predefined types, including at least a first frame type used to transfer data and a second frame type used for error recovery. Each node has at least a first and a second mode of operation, in the first mode frames of both first and second types are accepted in the second mode, frames of the first type are discarded and only frames of the second type are accepted. A master node which controls error recovery is selected from amongst those nodes which can initiate transfers.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed April 28, 1993 and granted January 26, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 28, 2013.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 28, 2015.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
