Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The invention resides in a precise technique for determining the equivalent bit rate (EBR) of a variable bit rate (VBR) ATM connection. The technique extends a known single-source method developed by Gibbens and Hunt. The new technique applies to shared facilities and hence exploits the statistical-multiplexing gain. The calculation of the EBR is quite fast and is therefore suitable for real-time call-admission control in ATM switches. The admission criteria may be basd on either the cell loss or cell delay.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 30, 1996 and granted September 17, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 30, 2016.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 30, 2018.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
