Abstract:
1. A method of concatenating a first (C, C′) and a second (D, D′) frame each containing one or more commands, including a last command, the commands in a frame containing a continue bit (S C , S C′ , S D , S D′ ) positioned so as to indicate whether another command is to follow in the frame or not, said frames comprising a number of non-significant bits among which a number of padding bits (R C , R C′ ) such that they occupy an integer number of words, and at least said first frame being designed to allow the position of the continue bit of its last command to be determined, said concatenation method comprising the following steps: a) determination of the position of the continue bit of the last command of the first frame, b) modification of the continue bit of the last command of the first frame, c) suppression of the non-significant bits of the first frame, d) insertion of at least one command of the second frame after the modified continue bit, e) addition of a number of padding bits in order to form a new frame that occupies an integer number of words.
