Abstract:
1. A processing module for processing user data instructions and control data instructions according to a communication protocol, the processing module comprising a first processor and a second processor wherein: the first processor is configured to generate user data instructions including a synchronization instruction and control data instructions according to a first process to generate independently from the first process at least further user data instructions including a synchronization instruction and control data instructions according to a second process, to provide the user data instructions and the further user data instructions to be processed by the second processor to the second processor, and to signal validity and completeness of the generated further user data instructions by setting a semaphore; and the second processor is configured to execute the synchronization instruction to check the semaphore after finishing processing of user data instructions, to process the further user data instructions if the semaphore is set, and to enter an idle state if the semaphore is not set.
