Abstract:
An apparatus for recovering a nonconsecutive packet, said apparatus comprising:means for forming (217) a candidate frame from at least one cell, such that one of said cells comprises a sequence-identifier, a user-data-length indicator and a first CRC checksum based on said sequence-identifier and said user-data-length indicator;means for parsing (619, 721) said candidate frame, said candidate frame comprising:(1) at least a portion of said packet,(2) a second CRC checksum based on said packet,(3) said sequence identifier,(4) said user-data-length indicator, and(5) said first CRC checksum;means for determining (801) if said sequence-identifier is not consecutive;means for determining (805) if all of said packet is contained within one cell;means for disregarding said candidate frame if said sequence-identifier is not consecutive and if all of said packet is not contained within one cell; andmeans for recovering said packet if said sequence-identifier is not consecutive and if all of said packet is contained within one cell.
