Patent ID: 7113489

Claim:
A multi-format adaptive plesiochronous network, comprising: a first router; a topology adaptive tie-line having a plurality of full duplex dedicated router interconnects connected to said first router, the topology adaptive tie-line transmitting at least non-packetized latency free continuous data; a second router connected to said plurality of full duplex dedicated router interconnects; and a user connected to said first router with a full duplex loop; I) a signal transmitting system for transmittal of a serialized signal including (A) latency free continuous data, and (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of bursty data and packetized data, said signal transmitting system including a multiplexer and a timing control block; and II) a signal receiving system for reception of said signal without disrupting the laminarity of the latency free continuous data, said signal receiving system including a demultiplexer and a seguence detector, so as to establish full duplex communications between the user and another user on one of said plurality of full duplex dedicated router interconnects; wherein (I) said multiplexer includes a clock multiplier, an encoder, a framer and a parallel to serial convertor, and (II) the user includes an analog-to digital converter, a first-in-first-out memory buffer having an almost empty flag, a digital to analog convertor, a counter register and a latch.
