Patent ID: 8204084

Claim:
An individual bit granular, input status adaptive multiplexing system for connecting input data bits onto multiplexed channels, the system comprising: a set of data inputs, at least one of which carries multiple input bits on any given timeslot (TS); a data output, providing multiple bit positions for each TS, configured to carry a bit from one of the data inputs on each of its bit positions on any given TS; a selector configured to identify, for any given TS, an input bit from one of the data inputs to be selected for each data output bit position; multiplexing logic configured to connect, during any given TS, to each data output bit position the input bit that is identified by the selector for that output bit position on that TS; and, mapper logic producing at least one of the data inputs and forming the selector for a given TS based at least in part on overhead bit fields on one or more of the data inputs up to that TS.
