Abstract
A transmission circuit for realizing a rate adaptation layer of a digital communication system. The transmission circuit includes a processor and a format conversion circuit. The processor is capable of managing transmission rates of input and output digital signals of the digital communication system. The format conversion circuit includes a plurality of input units and output units; each input unit is for receiving a bit according to the input digital signal, and each output unit is for transmitting a bit to form the output signal. Each input unit and output unit are connected by hardware wires to realize data formatting such as bit-reordering, command insertion.
Claims13
A transmission circuit that receives input data at a first rate and outputs data at a second rate, the transmission circuit comprising:
- a processor for controlling operations of the transmission circuit, the processor capable of accepting input data and generating corresponding first data having a plurality of bits;
- and
- a format converting circuit electrically connected to the processor for generating second data having a plurality of bits according to the first data, the format converting circuit comprising:
- a plurality of input units each for receiving one bit of the first data;
- a plurality of output units each for outputting one bit of the second data after receiving the bit;
- and
- a bit control circuit electrically connected between the input units and the output units for generating bits outputted by the output units according to bits received from the input units;
