Abstract:
A system for preventing data loss in a communications system that comprises a first data network that produces a first data type and a second data network that produces a second data type, wherein said first data network is controlled by a first clock and said second data network is controlled by a second clock different from said first clock, said system comprising:a data signal processor (DSP) that encodes/decodes data from said first data type to said second data type and from said second data type to said first data type; a first and second buffer that temporarily stores data of one of said first data type and said second data type, wherein a storage capacity of said second buffer is dynamically adjustable; and a semi-autonomous processor associated with said DSP, which manages size allocation of said first and second buffers and transfer of data to and from said first and second buffers, wherein said semi-autonomous processor dynamically adjusts the storage capacity of said second buffer during data transmission based on a timing mismatch between said first clock and said second clock.
