Abstract
A method of load-shedding in a system having a plurality of signal sources is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: (a) for each signal source Si selected from a set of sources {S1, S2, . . . }, each source having state pi,k selected from a set of states {p1,1, p1,2, . . . , p1,N; p2,1, p2,2, . . . , p2,N; . . . }, wherein i is an integer greater than one, N is an integer not less than two and k is an integer from 1 to N: (i) obtaining fractions fi,k, wherein each 0≦fi,k<1 is a fraction of a signal from source Si to be discarded if source Si is in state pi,k; and (ii) determining respective state pi,k of signal source Si based on the signal from source Si; and (b) for each source signal Si in determined state pi,k, discarding fraction fi,k of a signal from source Si.
