Abstract:
1. A method of merging a set of delay tables, each of said delay tables comprising as elements a plurality of delay values, said method comprising the steps of: merging into a new delay table a group of delay tables whose elements fall within a specified tolerance of the elements in similar relative positions of all other delay tables within the group, wherein said delay tables are merged based on a closeness with respect to the specified tolerance; selecting as elements for the new delay table a maximum of all the elements in similar relative positions of all the delay tables in the group; calculating, individually for each delay table, an aggregate sum of all of the elements in the delay table; and selecting a set of closeness candidates for a given delay table based upon said specified tolerance and a size of said given delay table, said set of closeness candidates including said group of delay tables.
